-HEAD
+0.4.6
+Wed, 13 Nov 2002 23:41:00 +0200
+ * FAQ: changed Debian repository location to HTTP (for better upload
+ stats estimations on our side).
+ * plugins/a52/a52.c: is now the default ac3/a52 decoder (because it has a
+ nicer audio quality than ac3_adec).
+ * configure, Makefile.modules, configure.in: --enable-familiar accepts now:
+ --with-sdl-prefix=[PATH], --enable-gtk-prefix=[PATH] and
+ --enable-gpe-prefix=[PATH] to enable cross-compiling.
+ * plugins/familiar/familiar_callbacks.c: Bug in ReadDirectory() it results
+ in empty file/directory names in the user interface.
+ * configure.in: Added GPE support to familiar interface.
+ Use --with-gpe-prefix=<installation-dir> to enable it.
+ * ipkg/*: GPE is integrated in familiar files.
+ * ipkg/*: Familiar packaging files.
+ * include/defs.h.in: Added HAVE_GPE_INIT_H define for autodetection of
+ libgpewidget and GPE headerfiles.
+ * ALL: changes to reflect the fact that libdvdcss now needs a colon after
+ the DVD drive letter.
+ * src/misc/modules.c: plugin extension check is now case unsensitive.
+ * plugins/dsp/aout_dsp.c: replaced O_NONBLOCK by O_NDELAY, and put the
+ device back in blocking mode once open.
+ * plugins/network/ipv4.c: fixed a crash with multicast addresses when no
+ interface address is given.
+ * plugins/directx/vout_directx.c: fixed a nasty segfault on initialization.
+ * plugins/dsp/aout_dsp.c: Added O_NONBLOCK flag to the open command,
+ so that if /dev/dsp is used, vlc tries with other plugins (like esd).
+
+0.4.5
+Fri, 11 Oct 2002 15:37:41 +0200
+
+ * src/interface/main.c, src/misc/modules.c: added a quick hack for a
+ --plugin-path command line option.
+ * INSTALL.win32: removed note about running in administrator mode to play
+ a DVD.
+ * ./plugins/beos/InterfaceWindow.cpp: user can now drop a DVD disk icon
+ onto the interface or playlist window to open a DVD.
+ * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: we include Xmd.h before dpms.h (compilation fix
+ for Solaris).
+ * ALL: many BeOS fixes and enhancements.
+ * ALL: VLC is now compliant with MPEG-2 TS standards embedding A/52
+ audio. It can still read from the old VLS with --vls-backwards-compat.
+ * ./plugins/familiar: interface for familiar Linux.
+ * ./plugins/qte: Qt/embedded video output.
+ * ./plugins/network/ipv4.c: added a --iface-addr option to select which
+ interface to use for multicast sockets.
+ * configure.in, configure: use -mms-bitfields instead of -fnative-struct
+ for mingw32 gcc-3.x.
+ * include/interface.h, plugins/dummy/intf_dummy.c, plugins/text/logger.c,
+ plugins/text/rc.c: display message on Win32 explaining how to get back
+ to the GUI mode.
+ * include/threads_funcs.h, src/misc/win32_specific.c: ignore the
+ win9x-cv-method config option on WinNT when fast-mutex is not enabled.
+ * plugins/access/rtp.c: backported RTP access module from HEAD.
+ * plugins/access/http.c: fixed a compile issue in the HTTP plug-in.
+ * configure.in: fixed bug with $(QTDIR).
+ * plugins/filter/deinterlace.c: fixed an issue with the linear method.
+
+0.4.4
+Sun, 11 Aug 2002 01:18:13 +0200
+
+ * ./src/misc/messages.c: fixed an extremely old buffer overflow.
+ * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c: fixed a moronic endianness bug.
+ * ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c: added a --dvd-css-method config option to the dvd
+ plugin.
+ * ./include/threads_funcs.h: fixed the --fast-mutex option.
+ * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.*: the directx vout plugin now uses the
+ IID_IDirectDrawSurface2 interface, this shouldn't break anything and we
+ should now support WinNT4+DirectX3. Added support for YUY2 overlays because
+ a few graphics cards only support this. Some code cleanup too.
+ * ./plugins/directx/vout_events.c: small bugfix.
+ * ./plugins/network/ipv6.c: attempt to fix the win32 IPv6 implementation.
+ Multicast should even work (untested) although we'll need to find a way to
+ replace if_nametoindex() tohave a fully functionnal win32 port.
+ * ./include/threads.h, ./include/threads_funcs.h: reverted Win32 pthread
+ implementation to the old code. Fixed vlc_cond_broadcast() for WinNT/2K/XP.
+ Additional vlc_cond_* implementations for Win9x.
+ * ./src/interface/main.c: renamed --fast_pthread option into --fast-mutex.
+ Added a--win9x-cv-method option to choose which vlc_cond_* implementation
+ we want on Win9x.
+ * ./plugins/avi/avi.c: kludge to play AVI files created by ffmpeg.
+

+0.4.1

+ currently sucks.
