For real this + time (unlike my 2001/08/03 fix :p). + * Made the wall filter work a bit better. It now spawns a 3x2 mosaic, + but this will eventually be configurable, à la `--filter wall:3x3'. + * Removed duplicate function checks from configure.in. + * Added extra magic to Makefile.modules so that the module Makefiles + are now ridiculously simple. And I mean *simple*. Check it! This will + make a possible switch to full autoconf/automake a lot easier. + * Added the vlc version name to the plugin symbols, to be sure we only load + plugins with the same version number. A nasty consequence is that you + need to rebuild your tree after midnight if you are using a CVS tree :-) + * Got rid of modules_export.h by #defining exported functions in the same + header as their prototype. + * Added modules_inner.h and other commonly used .h files to common.h so + there are less and less files to include, and renamed common.h to + . + * First modifications to the module handling system towards my ultimate + goal to get rid of the *_Probe functions. Got rid of TestMethod and + TestCPU, as well as src/misc/tests.c. + * Wrote the chroma plugin handling functions. No YUV functions have been + ported yet because it'ls a lot of work, but the core system works, I + tried it with a naive yv12->rgb16 plugin (which will disappear when the + real functions are ready). + * Made a lot of functions in dvd_summary.c one-liners to avoid wasting + too many output lines. + * Fixed a segfault in input_dvd.c:DVDInit. + * Added a fixfiles.sh script in plugins/gtk to be run after Glade has + generated its C files. + * Did some work on the KDE interface to make it suck a bit less. It still + segfaults, but at least it runs and it looks less ugly. + * RGB SDL rendering works again, though in 16bpp only. + * Made plugins/vcd/linux_cdrom_tools.c independent of any vlc structure + so that it'll be easily put in a library. Maybe libdvdcss? + * Fixed VCD date display. + * Merged vout_xvideo.c, vout_x11.c and vout_common.c into xcommon.c. + * Wrote non-Shm XVideo output. + * Made X11 output work again. Still pretty unstable, only works for 16bpp. + * Additional french translation in po/fr.po. Any taker for the rest? + * Fixed a segfault in video_output.c when the allocated pictures were + not direct buffers. + * Replaced 48x48 .xpm images with 32x32 ones to conform to Debian policy + (Closes Debian bug #126939). + * Removed the automatic ./configure launch when running `make all' for + the first time. + * --filter distort:ripple (Ok, ok, I promise it's the last one !! :-) + * Fixed compilation with dvdcss disabled. + * Fixed compilation with plugins disabled. + * Removed useless variables in the VCD and DVD plugins. + * Fixed a function which was returning "struct foo" in the VCD plugin. + * Fixed the old « XVideo eats more and more CPU » bug I mistakenly + reintroduced in my first vout4 commit. + * We now stop at the first ':' when looking for a module name, to easily + pass information to the modules. Possible example: --vout sdl:software, + implementation of such an option is left as an exercise. + * Merged filter_bob and filter_bob422 into filter_bob. Use --filter bob + to deinterlace 422 into 420 as well. + * Factorized code common to most filters and the video output, optimized + a few filters by aligning data and reading 64 bits at a time. + * Two new absolutely useless, CPU-eating, resource-wasting, but fun + filters: enjoy `transform', which performs flips and 90° rotations, and + `distort', which performs animated image effects (currently only a naive + sine wave is implemented). Usage examples: --filter transform:hflip, + --filter transform:vflip, --filter transform:90, --filter transform:180, + --filter transform:270, --filter distort:wave. + * Added missing XSync() in the XVideo plugin. + * Pathetic attempt at a 4:2:2 renderer and deinterlacer, combining the + most awful line dropping techniques of both BOB and 422 to 420 + downscaling. Don't worry, it should only survive for a couple of days. + * New stupid plugin: "--filter wall" for split-image playback :-) + (will evolve into a real image wall plugin when I have time) + * Filter plugins. Not very polished (please don't look at how the dates are + calculated!), but worth a try. Use the following flags: + "--filter invert" for inverse video + "--filter bob" for BOB deinterlacing + * Buffer choice optimizations - vout4 should eat even less CPU now. + * Fixed aspect ratio handling. + * Additional fixes for OSes with no gettext (thanks to ej0). + * Don't try to use gettext if we don't have GNU gettext. This may change + in the future though (most GNU software seems to include a local copy of + gettext in case the operating system doesn't provide it). + * Added vlc-arts to the debian package generation. + * (very old) russian translation courtesy of Valek Filippov . + * Fixed a charset issue in the french translation. + * Updated config.guess and config.sub from GNU's latest versions. + * Added vlc.pot skeleton for translators. + * Removed unused code (intf_channels.c, keystrokes.h). + * Put common_win32.h back into common.h -- it wasn't that big and we + should not multiply header files. + * Added gettext support by Thomas Graf , may be + broken on other platforms but we'll only see it when I'm finished + with vout 4 :-) + * New video output version 4, featuring direct to YUV buffer decoding, + non-ugly subtitle blending, XVideo and SDL video output. + * Renamed spu_dec to spudec and mad_adec to mad to stay coherent with + other plugins. Also, renamed mpeg to mpeg_system. + * Added jobi to the AUTHORS file. + * Factored code common to vout_x11.c and vout_xvideo.c. + +0.2.92 +Mon, 31 Dec 2001 19:50:40 +0100 + + * Added a missing call to DecoderError() in mpeg_adec.c. + * Fixed a segfault in the aRts plugin. + * Fixed a bug in DecoderError. + * Next Generation Buffer Manager. + * All decoders enter DecoderError() in case of error, even if they + haven't allocated all their data. This prevents the input from getting + stuck if a decoder has failed its initialization. + * Backported lool's fix for the Gtk+ playlist crash. + * If $DISPLAY isn't set, don't try to run the Gtk+ interface. + * Fixed a segfault in input_dvd.c:DVDInit. + * Fixed a PPC compilation issue. + * Mouse wheel seek patch for XVideo courtesy of Peter Surda. + * Ported to SDL. + * Backported a VCD crash fix from the main branch. + * Fixed compilation with dvdcss disabled. + * Bug fixes in the VCD input. + * The SDL plugin now says whether we are using software or hardware YUV + in its window title. + * Added --with-dll-path option for my automated Win32 package builds. + * Initialize SDL before opening the SDL audio output. + * Prevent two SDL video outputs or audio outputs to be spawned at the + same time to avoid ugly crashes. + * TS input: bugfix in DecodePAT and minor optimizations elsewhere. + * TS input: we now check that the contents of the PAT has changed + before updating it, instead of just relying on its version number. + * Disabled broken ALSA audio output. Closes Debian bugs #110869 and #119846. + * Fixed build dependencies on libasound2-dev. Closes Debian bug #121057. + * Changed configure.in so that libXv_pic is used instead of libXv.a when + available. Closes Debian bug #111790. + * CPU detection under BeOS. + * Fixed XVideo port selection. + * Fixed 4:2:2 software rendering. + * Removed cruft I forgot in aout_alsa.c. + * Minor compile fix under Hurd. + * Fixed a potential segfault if the subtitle stream was encountered + before the video stream. + * Fixed potential compilation issues under eg. BSD/OS. + * Fixed unnecessary target remake (recursive make is harmful !). + * Fixed a potential BeOS linking issue. + * Fixed a minor bug in input.c. + * Fixed an issue in Makefile.dep causing to rebuild unnecessary files + in the gtk/gnome plugins. + * Removed cruft from configure.in. + * Fixed major bugs in the PSI decoder. + * Fixed possible segfault with --input. + * Fix for EOF of ES-only streams. + * MPEG-1 aspect ratio patch, courtesy of Vladimir Chernyshov + . + * Seeking patch for X11, courtesy of Peter Surda + . + * Fixed a segfault on exit when no fast_memcpy module was found. + * Workaround for a bug in the GLIBC dlopen() code. + * Fixed win32 compilation. + * New libmad plug-in, courtesy of Jean-Paul Saman. We now have sound on + iPAQ Familiar Linux. + * Borrowed MPlayer's fast memcpy() routines. Best is autodetected, choose + "--memcpy " to choose one from c, mmx, mmxext or 3dn. + * Added versioned build-dep to libasound2-dev (Closes Debian bug #121057). + * Updated Gtk/GNOME interfaces to use "udpstream" instead of "ts". + * More checks for GTK headers. + * Fixed a crash when pausing. + * Fixed numerous bugs in ES selection. + * Fixed stupid bug in vout_Manage. It sometimes called SetDSequenceMatrix + when there was no valid sequence. + * Hopeless fix for the input netlist corruption bug. + * Implemented simple BDirectWindow (DMA) support. + * DeleteDecoderConfig wasn't freeing (anymore) the packets left in the + decoder fifo. This bug was creating an io_vec starving on title change + when playing DVDs. + * Removed a bug in the Makefile that made the CVS-snapshots building fail. + * Added "#include " to include/threads.h. + * Removed the mutex the vout and intf thread (were supposed to use) + for syncronizing acces to the p_vout->p_sys structure. + * Added error checking in pthread wrapper; as a result, intf_msg.h must + now be included *before* threads.h. + * Changed all files to include intf_msg.h before threads.h; while I was + at it, I update the copyright notices. + * Removed the obsolete darwin plug-in. + * Fixed a deadlock (bug reported by marcari). + * Various (sometimes hopeless) fixes to try to improve xvideo stability. + * Documentation updates. + * Updated man page. + * dvd:[@] to avoid device namespace collision under + win32. + * Fixed a compilation issue under Win32. + * Fixed a potential packet corruption in the DVD input. + * Changed the protocol version for communication between vlc and vlcs + from 12 to 13 (due to change from ts:// to udpstream://) + * Big clean-up to allow compiling every module as plugins. + * Added bytes_swap.h to provide ntoh() and htol() on Win32. With this + change we don't have to link winsock2 with every plugin anymore. This + should also give us a slight speed increase. + * Added #define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN in threads.h to speed-up compilation + on Win32. + * Modified ac_downmix_3dn and sse so they compile with the latest gcc for + Win32. + * Support for libdvdread. + * Added "Video" menu hint to debian/*menu (Closes Debian bug #121036). + * Major rewrite of the network layer. only supported syntax is: + udp[stream]:[//][serveraddr:[serverport]][@[bindaddr][:bindport]] + * Don`t use long long, use u64/s64 (int_types.h). + * Fixed a stale pointer in mpeg_vdec_Run(). + * (Hopefully) fixed the network connect() bug under UNIX. + * aRts audio output courtesy of Emmanuel Blindauer . + * Fix to the esd plugin when esd-config --cflags is nonempty. + * --channels puts gtk/gnome in multi-channel network mode. + * The network window of the interface reports the values of the environment + variables. + * Channels mode excludes vls configuration. + * The vlc does not try to bind vls.via.ecp.fr by default when you select + channels mode. + * Fixed MacOS X 10.1 network input, thanks to Mathias Kretschmer + . + * Fixed a few crashes due to race conditions in the decoder spawning. + * Removed unused code here and there. + * Fixed a bug in altivec detection on MacOS X. + * It seems that the 'focus' bug under WinME is solved. + * Updated the INSTALL-win32.txt file. + * The ./configure script is more friendly for Win32 users. + * Moved warning message to debug message in spdif pass-through plugin. + * Changed a bit the wait time. It works better here, please test. + * The default file-translation mode was not being set under win32. + * Fixed heap corruption issues in ac3dec (thanks reno). + * Fixed a crash when using `--input dvd /dev/dvd' instead of `dvd:/dev/dvd'. + * configure should no longer assume AltiVec is supported when it actually + isn't with buggy compilers and/or pre-set $CFLAGS. + * Commited my little release-howto (only useful to core vlc developers). + * Closing Debian bug #119369 which was fixed a while ago. + * Decoder modularization. + +0.2.91 +Mon, 12 Nov 2001 17:14:29 +0100 + + * Added FAQ. + * New --channelserver switch. + * Documentation updates. + * ipkg script for Familiar Linux 0.5 & bug fix in debian/rules. + * Disabled DirectX audio output for the time being. + * Added Oct's NSIS installer script. It will probably not work for you, + but I need it to build the Win32 auto installer. + * Automatic handling of the Channel Server's response in network mode. + * GetMACAddress takes the interface defined in the environment variable + vlc_iface instead of eth0. + * Fixed bug with MPEG audio in TS streams. + * Fixed compilation (and quite probably runtime) issues under IA64 + due to mixed int/void* casts. + * Merged DVD netlist with input netlist to remove duplicated code. + * BSD/OS VCD patch, courtesy of Steven M. Schultz . + * Win32 network fix. + * imdctsse should now compile and work in plugin and under BeOS. + * Kludge to have less discontinuity after a zero scr in DVD. + * Fixed some win32 64-bit issues. + * Fixed some win32 compile issues. + * Don't use long long, use u64/s64 (int_types.h). + * Move function that translates language codes into country name in src/misc + so that every plugin can use it. + * Changed the name of a function in dvd_udf.c to fit with the forthcoming + libdvdread plugin. + * Corrected à long time bug (around 0.2.81 I think), that created a + corruption in ifo data. This was the reason why some DVDs that worked with + 0.2.80 no longer worked with newer version of vlc. They should work again + now. + * New --enable-release config option. + * Removed deprecated code and structures. + * Maybe corrected aspect ratio issue in fullscreen xvideo. + * Fixed support for SPU and LPCM streams over network. + * Added a new drawer to the control window to support Title / Chapter + selection, Subtitle selection, Audiochannel/Language selection, + Angle selection. + * New --volume option (untested, like usual :). + * Reimported Intf_Controller, connected "File/Open/File" to + Intf_Controller::file:Open (OS X). + * The intf is no longer accessed indirectly from vout_Destroy. + * Made it possible to open a File after vlc was started (you can use vlc now + without starting it from the command line) under OS X. + * Cleaned up playlist handling in Intf_Vlc_Wrapper. + * Modified the pf_close kludge in input.c so that we don't segfault when + pf_init fails. + * Changed chapter selection buttons aspect to try and differentiate them + from title selection ones. + * Changes to the BeOS interface to remove unwanted volumes from the Disk + Menu. Readonly filesystems like NTFS were being incorrectly added. + * Do not resample audio output if delta is short enough. + * Fixed a segfault on exit under Windows 2000. + * Enabled http button in gtk/gnome interface. + * Use memalign for aligned data (instead of a greek malloc). + * Some optimizations in imdct (all data are now aligned). + * SSE downmix now works for windows. + * SSE imdct is desactivated for windows (MINGW32 doesn't know how to aligned + data). + * Fixed '-' input. + * New interface for MacOS X, courtesy of Florian G. Pflug. + * BeOS interface changes to include menu for Title and chapter navigation. + * Improved more "BeOS" CD detection. + * VLC FAQ TBU. + * Synced dummy_dvdcss with Stef's changes to libdvdcss. + * configure now compiles the VCD plugin if linux/cdrom.h is present. + * Added VCD input plugin for Linux. + * Fixed ATTR_ALIGN configure test. + * Fixed compilation problems with OpenBSD. + * xvideo.so is now built in by default.

Stats are now activated + at runtime with --stats. + * New intf_StatMsg() call. + * Vout picture heap is now 8 pictures instead of 5 (better synchro). + * Tremendous enhancements in statistics display. + * Better capabilities handling. + * Error checks in debug mode : pthread ERRORCHECK_MUTEX and MALLOC_CHECK_=2. + * "added support for an unusual construct at the start of some + slices", says walken :-). + * In spdif ac3 is selected by default + * Video output grows to respect acpect ratio instead of shrinking (not + in x11 because it takes cpu to resize a picture). + * Disable dpms in xvideo. + * Better handling of the buffer of the sound driver to try to remove + sratches in spdif. + * Fix bad dates in ac3 spdif "decoder" (playing with the bit stream is very + funny). + * Thanks to Stef for his ideas, Meuuh for his bit stream, and Sam for his + trolls :) + * Fixed bugs in the MacOS X port. + * Faster configure script and as-yet untested Darwin patches. + * Test for Altivec C extensions. + * If memalign isn't available, fall back on valloc. + * Fixed a stupid mistake in NormScan(). + * By default, use the real size of the stream for the video output size. + * Altivec IDCT and motion compensation, courtesy of Michel Lespinasse for + mpeg2dec (untested). + * Fixed many alignment issues. + * Miscellaneous updates to configure, especially for cross-compilation. + * Fixed the BeOS slider overflow problem. + * Corrected BeOS Slider and button status behaviour. + * Simplified Code in the vout_beos ready for another developer to implement + more advanced video output. + * Fixed typos, courtesy of Michel Lanners . + * Fixed a netlist packet leak in demuxPSI (Mark Gritter + ). + * Removed the nuts message "unable to allocate memory" when the netlist got + empty. + * Various fixes for GCC 3.0. + * Reworked jlj's patch for field pictures. + * Fixed numerous bugs with the Altivec IDCT (still not compiling). + * MPEG audio emphasis fix, courtesy of Matthieu Lochegnies + . + * ac3dec uninitialized data structure fix, courtesy of Damian Ivereigh + . + * Altivec IDCT and motion compensation, based on Paul Mackerras's mpeg2dec. + * Local minor optimizations in IDCT. + * Removed a hopeless kludge in input_clock.c. + * Fixed a problem with field streams not working with new video decoder. + * IP Multicast support, courtesy of Mathias Kretschmer + . + * Removed O_NONBLCK in aout_Play because we don't use it and some drivers + (e.g. esssolo1 have problems with this) ; + * Added warning messages. + * Fixed build dependencies for architectures not supporting libasound2 + (Closes Debian bug #109722). + * Install doesn't explode if libdvdcss hasn't been compiled. + * Attempt to fix the SDL detection under *BSD. + * Removed /usr/local/include, because it is unsafe in a cross-compilation + environment. + * The win32 port is once again using msvcrt.dll instead of msvcrt40.dll. + * Fixed a synchro bug (typo) in video_output.c. + * Added documentation to use VLC as a netscape plug-in and do some + (buggy) web streaming. + * Totally rewrote the video decoder (inspired by walken's mpeg2dec), + implying - performance boost ; - fixed the "Dual Prime Arithmetic" bug ; + - 3DNow! motion compensation module. + * AC3dec statistics do not show up with --enable-stats, because I doubt + they're understandable by a normal human being, and they pollute the output. + * Minor changes to the (non-working) ncurses interface. + * Fixed a packet leak in DemuxPSI. + * Added gnome.h check and cleaned the error messages in the configure script. + * Tiny small optim in LPCM decoder. + +0.2.83 +Wed, 22 Aug 2001 15:18:01 +0200 + + * Split ChangeLog into ChangeLog and ChangeLog.libdvdcss. + * Added --xvadaptor flag to select the XVideo adaptor to use. + * Added support in ./configure for the cprof profiler. + * Activated -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D__USE_UNIX98 on all platforms, fixes + issues under Solaris and QNX. + * Additional checks for SSE-specific (non-MMXEXT) instructions, as + reported in lucky.openbsd.misc. + * GNU/Hurd configuration and compilation fixes. + * Fixed a crash in subtitle rendering. + * Activated old crappy subtitle rendering in overlay mode (ugly but + probably better than having no subtitles at all). + * Added proper Conflicts: rules in debian/control. + * configure.in fixes for BSD/OS. + * Added vlc:loop playlist command to go back at the beginning. + Usage: vlc file1.mpeg file2.mpeg ... fileN.mpeg vlc:loop + * Fixed a bug in the gtk interface which caused vlc to go amok after + having met a zero-sized area. + * 'snapshot*' rules do not depend on 'clean', and don't use /tmp anymore. + +0.2.82 +Tue, 7 Aug 2001 12:39:16 +0200 + + * Got Makefile to launch ./configure almost properly. $(MAKECMDGOALS) rules !

I hope this + patch is harmless on all systems. + * Added a dummy libdvdcss so that the DVD plugin can be used without + libdvdcss. It will try to dlopen() libdvdcss at runtime, though, + and will use the dummy functions only if it couldn't find a valid + libdvdcss. This is probably only useful to package maintainers. + * Made the remote command plugin usable even with no stream. + * Fixed a deadlock in the remote command plugin. + * Fixed a deadlock in the SPU decoder. + * Minor bug fix to aout_directx.c. + * Big rewrite of the DirectX audio plugin. The audio output is now (almost) + perfect on Win32. + * Fixed a bug in ac3dec_CreateThread() in ac3_decoder_thread. + * On Win32, open() will now open files in binary mode by default. + * A few minor changes to vout_xvideo.c. + * Fixed a segfault in yuv_End() in video_yuvmmx.c. + * Fixed the "Gdk-ERROR **: BadCursor" bug in the x11 and xvideo plugins. + * Fixed a segfault in SetBufferPicture() in video_output.c. + * Fixed a segfault in PSEnd in input_ps.c. + * The video decoder thread is now also reniced to a lower priority on + Win32 (like in the Linux version). This slightly increases the + responsiveness of vlc. + * Modified input_dvd so you can now go directly to the selected chapter + when you change the title. + * Implemented the Probe function in the Xvideo plugin. Xvideo is now the + default video output plugin when it is supported. + * Now use SDL_CFLAGS for searching SDL/SDL.h. + * Don't miserably die in `make` when ./configure hasn't be run. + * Fixed a bug when compiling KDE plug-in without Qt plug-in. + * Now taking into account $KDEDIR. + * Made SDL configure error messages more explicit. + * --disable-sdl is now correctly taken into account. + * Changed the order of evaluation of sdl-config and sdl11-config. + * Finally fixed SDL*/SDL.h check. + * VC++/Intel compiler fixes by Jon Lech Johansen . + * Better gtk-config detection. + * Removed duplicate checks in configure.in. + * Fixed a typo in vlc.spec. + +0.2.81 +Sat, 28 Jul 2001 04:13:57 +0200 + + * Removed useless variables in configure.in which caused all subsequent + compilation tests to fail. + * Additional fixes to the sdl-config detection. + * Added a make uninstall rule. + * New --with-dvdcss flag. + * Fixed a bug in aout spdif with dolby stereo (use of obsolete PTS). + * Format asm functions for gcc, fixed the segfaults with imdct_sse. + * Now using gcc -pipe. + * (Hopefully) fixed the #@!$ field pictures bug. + * Fixed the MMX YUV plugin issues with gcc 2.96 and 3.0. + * Updated TODO, cosmetic changes. + * Now use sdl-config for SDL. + * Fixed a stupid bug in buffer management with field pictures. + * Fixed a reinit bug after a discontinuity - such as seek(). + * The spdif audio output won't kill itself anymore at the beginning. + * New and theoretically better Win32 pthread implementation. + * dvd_ifo.c now takes into account error messages from UDFFindFile. + * Fixed the "quit" event handling in directx/vout_events.c. + * Temporarily disabled aout_Probe() in aout_SDL (libSDL bug). + * ncurses compilation fix by Michael Mondragon . + * Fix for large inline functions and gcc 3.0. + * Fixed the gnome plugin so that it does not include gtk headers. + * Tuned constants, since it seems to make people happy. + * Fixed the "paused movie won't restart" bug. + * Removed the outdated generic decoder. + * Rewrote the video decoder so that it can use multiple processors (--smp). + * Fixed a bug in the video decoder initialization. + * Grayscale mode now turns off chroma IDCT decoding. + * Kludged so that times displayed in the scrollbar are finally correct + for MPEG-2 streams. + * FreeBSD compilation fix by Øyvind Kolbu . + * QNX RTOS plug-in by Jon Lech Johansen . + * Added IDEALX developer documentation in doc/. + * Reactivated SDL parachute in non-debug mode (memory leak otherwise). + * Fixed GetChunk for chunks < 4 bytes. + * The Win98 DVD input is finally working. + * Put a readv() function in input_iovec.h, the input_es plugin now compiles + (Win32). + * Modified input_ts to use readv() in input_iovec.h (Win32). + * Fixed an initialisation bug in vout_directx.c. + * Right clicking on the mouse displays the navigation menu (DirectX plugin). + * Fixed audio/video synchro bug with esd, should fix buggy sound due + to 44100-48000 Hz conversions. + * The Win32 GetMessage function has been isolated in a thread. This has + been done because this function can block the thread. Thanks to this + change, you can now move your window without any video and audio + interruption. + * Plugins are now compiled in plugins/* and libraries in lib/*. + * The KDE UI compiles again but does not work yet. + * ALSA plugin message corrections. + * Calculation modules can now be calledwith a shorter name + (eg. '--downmix mmx' instead of '--downmix downmixmmx'). + * Fixed insane verbosity of the SDL plugin. + * Fixed the segfault in vout_UnloadFont. + * The Xvideo plugin now closes the video window when it XVideoGetPort + fails in vout_Create. + * Fixed alignement in imdct asm functions. + * 16 byte alignement for data (needed for SSE). + * Optimization in SSE downmix. + * Probably fixed the "X eats more and more CPU" bug. Please test. + * mingw32 cross-compilation issue fixed. + * Small optimization in vpar_blocks.c, sparing a few memset() calls. + * Additional error checking in vout_sdl.c. + * Minor manpage fix, conforming to Debian policy version 3.5.5.0 + (Closes Debian bug #99561). + * Portablility fix: We now control the name to be used in the assembler + code for a C function or variable. + * Reenabled all the accelerated modules on Win32. + * Bugfix for chapters change in DVD. + * A few bug fixes for the directx plugin. + * Removed the custom usleep function for win32 as we don't really need + this accuracy, and it was eating cpu resources. + * Elementary Stream input plugin (use it with --input es). Only works with + video streams at the moment. + * Added command line option '--stdout ' which redirects stdout + and stderr to the specified file. This option should mainly be useful + on Win32. + * On Win32, vlc now has an icon associated to the .exe file, and is a full + GUI application (you don't have this annoying dos command box anymore) + * Added INSTALL-win32.txt for specific details to the Win32 port. + * Compile fix for newer versions of MacOS X by Colin Simmonds + . + * Win32 network support by Boris Dorès . + * Fixed an alignment issue in the ifo parser.

See + ChangeLog.libdvdcss for a separate changelog. + * Slight modification in input_dvd since Getiovec wasn't at the right place. + * Send escape packet when changing title, not to be stuck in some decoder. + * The position in the title is now reset when we change title to + prevent a title from being unavailable because we're stuck at the end. + * Fixed a bug with 1-chapter-long titles that displayed chapter 0. + * Added a _temporary_ field in p_main to know whether the audio stream is + AC3 (ugly). It allows a vlc launched in spdif mode to play mpeg or lpcm + audio. + * Cleaned the title property messages to get rid of the ugly stars. + * Added LPCM support. It should work with stereo LPCM. + * Fixed a warning when compiling main.c. + * Checked that OS supports SSE instructions on PIIIs (to avoid illegal + hardware instructions on Linux 2.2.x). + * Fixed a bug in synchro reinitialization: we no longer have a shift each + time we restart the synchro (for SCR discontinuity for instance) + * In DVD mode, we reinit the synchro only if the SCR are not continuous + (instead of each cell). + * Tried to improve AC3 spdif to prevent desynchronization. + * Lots of DirectX plugin fixes by Gildas Bazin. + * Compilation fix in message queue mode. + * Another FreeBSD compilation fix. + * SDL compilation fix for FreeBSD. + * Fixed compilation of motion modules as plugins. + * Applied old FreeBSD patch for dvd input by German Tischler. + * Found what was causing the slowdowns: a namespace collision.

I didn't test it, but + it should not hang the kernel anymore. + * Ported most dvd_ioctl.c functions to the DVDioctl driver: ReportAgid, + ReportChallenge, ReportKey1, ReportASF, InvalidateAgid, SendChallenge, + SendKey2. They should comply with the "Mt. Fuji Commands for Multimedia + Devices" paper. + * Unification of gnome/gtk intefaces: now all the files are in plugin/gtk. + * Updated BeOS interface with new changes for playlist management. + * More cleanings in gtk interface. + * The dvd plugin reads again blocks of 32 sectors to gain speed. + * Added two functions which retrieve the MAC Address under Windows. + * 3D Now! imdct. + * We now do pthread detection for FreeBSD like the XMMS guys do.

It is ready now for cell positioning in multi-angle DVD (to come + soon). + * DVD specific netlist adapted to 2048 bytes long blocks that contain + several data_packets. + * Modification in mpeg_system.c to use p_payload_start instead of + p_buffer (necessary for DVD plugin). It does not break other plugins + since they set p_payload_start to p_buffer + * New field i_read_once in input_thread_s to be able to read more than + the TS related 7 packets ; i_read_once is set to INPUT_READ_ONCE by + defaults but plugins can change it during initialisation. + * Bug fix with frequential downmix + * Additional optimizations to the subtitle decoder + * The GGI video output should now be faster.

Gtk+ is now compiled by default, while Gnome isn't (you will + have to add --enable-gnome when running configure) + * Replaced -lcurses with -lncurses in configure.in. + * Added DemuxPSI, DecodePAT and DecodePMT.

MGA never worked, + so this didn't make it work better. + * Started thinking about built-in modules, and added some code to + make it easier eventually. + * Added Oct in the AUTHORS file. + * Fixed a mistake in configure.in. + * All your base are belong to us. + * Fixed a bug in src/misc/modules which prevented loading modules + when launched from the Tracker. + * Fixed a similar bug in src/video_output/video_text.c. + * BeOS CSS support, thanks to Markus Kuespert + who ported the Linux DVD ioctls. We can now read encrypted DVDs + under BeOS ! Woohoo. + * First serie of changes in DVD module for the forthcoming interface menus. + There is a new capability in input type modules for setting the + attributes of a new area. It is set to NULL for PS and TS plugins. + It should be called for every title change, chapter change, + audio mode change or spu channel change. + * Kludge of the kludge, removing an oddity in YUV initialisation, and + activating YUV overlay on startup whenever hardware acceleration is + available. Thanks for bearing with us, stay tuned. + * mux_rate parsing. + * Changed video decoder's error messages into warnings. + * Add dither fix + * Drag and drop support under BeOS. + * Change in the code to detect beginning of movie.

As for the other modules, only + the "q" key works. Moreover, VLC doesn't exit cleanly if you close the + GGI window. + * Deactivated non-working widgets in the Gnome interface. + * Added CONTRIBUTORS file. + * Ported the framebuffer plugin to the new module API. As for most of the + other video output modules, keyboard doesn't work. Except ^C to quit. + * UDF filesystem support so that we know the location of the first video + related file with 100% reliability (great change that should make DVDs + with binaries and extra stuff work with vlc). + * Correction of a bug in ifo reading that falsified the adress of + video titles. + * Changed the method for selecting title at start. It is _not_ reliable + though, but it is better than the preceding one. + * Tried to fix the BeOS interface and video output. Any BeOS developers + listening ? I can't even test that code, it probably wants additional + fixing. + * Added a workaround in modules.c for broken libc's which happen to truncate + filenames in dentry structures when using 64bits offsets. The kind of + stuff you only see in RedHats . + * Made the SDL error messages a bit more useful. + * The Gnome menu is now created when mouse is released, not when it + is pressed. It may sound stupid, but it really makes a difference. + +0.2.61 +Fri, 16 Feb 2001 08:09:59 +0100 + + * Fixed package building (both RPMs and .debs). + * Fixed `make snapshot' rule. + * Added some magic to filename detection. To read a DVD you now just + need to run 'vlc dvd:/dev/hdc' for instance. Same for file:// URIs. + * Fixed a segfault in the slider when no stream was playing. + * Made the slider go from 0 to 100 (instead of 99 :) + * The vlc now doesn't exit when finished playing. As a side effect of + the playlist code being very recent, it continuously loops. + * Fixed a segfault in the input thread creation, as well as a possible + deadlock. This happened mostly when opening non-existing files. + * Created input_SetStatus to do input_SetRate's job. input_SetRate will + be used to set an arbitrary rate, for people who want to read DVDs at + 1/2.71828 times the actual speed. + * Stubs for the ncurses control interface. No working code yet, but the + holes just need to be filled. + * Improved X11 support. Still not as functional as before. + * The output window now states the method name, so that people know whether + they are using X11 or SDL. + * The Gnome interface is now drag'n'drop aware, you can drop a file + on it just like Xine does (or so I guess). + * New more recent css authentication code. + * Beginning of udf support (not in Makefile) + * Removed useless includes in intf_gnome.c + * Made the vout_sdl.c functions static + * Ported vout_x11.c to the modules API; code isn't very nice yet though + * X11 output works again. It's just the output, but it works; I now need + to clean the code and add event handling. + * Should have fixed the dependency generater for some plugins. + +0.2.60 +Wed, 14 Feb 2001 08:33:46 +0100 + + * Started porting the X11 vout (still disabled) + * A few unnoticeable changes in the Gnome intf + * Changes in the way stream size in DVD mode is calculated. It is no + longer such an ugly kludge and is much more accurate. + * Changes in DVDSeek so that the interface slider is in 0 when we are at + the beginning of the strem. + * Try to detect the beginning of the movie in the middle of the title. It + works for most of the DVDs but will begin in the middle of the movie + with some others. + * Calculate only the first title key in css mode because it might take a + long time with some title. The search stops now when we have a key once + whereas it did stop only when we had it twice before. It should not + cause problems. + * Really fixed MC segfault bug. + * Adaptation of DVD module to navigation slider. The seek has to be + done on a multiple of 2048, and shopuld take care of the offset to the + beginning of the stream. It works with most of my DVDs by fails to + detect size of some streams. + * Change of the order of call to ifo and css functions in input_dvd.c, + because we can't read ifo files before authentification on some DVDs. + * Changed location of some css tables. + * We read ifo date and decrypt css keys for all titles now. It takes quite a + long time to initialize with some DVDs (if you have 42 titles for + instance). The key decryption might give a false value if the title is + less than 10 Mb ; I'm working on that :) + * Quick patch to avoid a segfault when arbitrarily seeking the stream. + * Added --intf option to vlc + * Started cleaning vout_sdl.c + * The dummy plugin works again + * Added a slider to the Gnome interface so that we can browse through streams + * Removed enhancement because of an incompatibility with slow motion. + * We can now seek at position 0 :p ; + * Tried to enhance picture dating on timebase discontinuities. + * Fixed pause bug. + * Much cleaning in css code. It should work fine now. + * Fixed my old stupid bug that disabled sound after having played the + first playlist item. + * Added `Prev' and `Next' buttons to the interface, with the beginning of + a playlist window (still empty). + * Added `Slow' and `Fast' buttons to the interface and popup menu. + * Removed tests against i_rate and i_new_rate calculation from the + plugins and hid this complexity into input_ext-intf.c + * The pure Gnome part of the Gnome interface has been rewritten from + scratch, and the .glade file included as well. You can edit it by + installing glade-gnome and doing `glade plugins/gnome/intf_gnome.glade', + or directly by hand if you grok XML. + * Files can now be loaded into vlc using the `Open' buttons. But for the + moment you still have to launch vlc with at least one file, because it + quits when the end of the playlist is reached. + * Idle screen was disabled because it eats a lot of CPU and is mostly + useless for the moment. And it gets activated when pause lasts for too + long. + * Plugins have completely disappeared, we now only use the new module API. + * All intf and vout modules are now independant. So far, only the Gnome + intf module and the SDL vout module have been ported. configure.in has + been modified to reflect the changes (x11 and dummy aren't compiled by + default anymore, while SDL and Gnome are). + * Right-clicking on the SDL video output window brings the Gnome menu. + * Pause, Play, Exit, About work from the menu or from the interface window. + * The old SDL keys still work. + * Fixed a bug in #define that prevented from using ioctls + * Some functions to prepare ifo commands utilisation to move in the + structures of DVDs + * Change in configure to avoid compiling css functions on BSD. + * Added comments to src/interface/intf_plst.c and include/intf_plst.h + so that people understand how the playlist works. + * Updated the TODO list (34 items to do, 41 done !) + * Portability : changed off64_t to off_t and activated appropriate + GNU/Linux options ; + * Changed fseek() to fseeko() for 64-bit offsets ; + * Reset frame predictors on a stream discontinuity. + * Implemented basic stream navigation function, and bound Jump forward + and jump Backward in the SDL intf. Enjoy ! + * Pause function implemented ('p' key). + * Fixed a compile probleme on machine without a dvd player :ppppp + * Fixed two bugs in ifo and css that caused memory corruption and + segfault when using sdl in dvd mode. + * Moved the playlist handling from input/input.c to interface/interface.c + * Fixed a few warnings at compile-time. + * Fixed sound channel selection in playlist mode. + * Added a color message in the plugin bank because on peut bien déconner + cinq minutes, quand-même. + * We now spawn a new input thread for each file. + * Added a missing pf_close() because it's always cool to close files + after we read them. + * Solved bug with cssdescrambling. The vlc might segfault with dvd + plugins. I will fix that soon. + * Minor modification in pluginification. + * Playlist works again (still the old wrong way like Meuuh doesn't + like, but this is going to change within a few hours) + * Input_ps, input_ts and input_dvd are now plugins, located in + plugins/mpeg/ and plugins/dvd/ + * Fast/slow keys are now A/Z instead of A/S since S was already + linked to the scale/noscale toggle. + * `--dvd' doesn't work anymore, for the moment try to use : + vlc --input dvd /dev/dvd + * Module bank is now less verbose ; use `--warn 1' to turn back + verbosity on + * New method using netlist to read packets on DVD device by sectors of + 2048 bytes. + * Some modifications in netlist to make it work with DVD. + * Fixed à bug in mpeg_system.c + * We can now choose the speed of forward (between 32/1 and 1/8) + * Functional fast forward and slow motion API ; + * Dirty hack in the SDL intf to bind "a" (fAst forward), "s" (Slow motion) + and "p" (Play). + * Centralized clock management, preparing for stream navigation ; + * Fixed a bug in the management of the first video PTS. + * Fixed a bug in period calculation for progressive sequences. + * Fixed a FIXME in SDL: p_vout->p_sys is no more used in intf_sdl.c + * Used instead p_vout->i_changes like in x11 + * Disabled SDL parachute to let the vlc dump a core instead of staying stuck + * Patched 2 debian bugs + (see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=vlc) + * Improved the snapshot generation + * Mouse pointer hidden/shown with middle button in SDL output + * Removed obsolete video_yuv_mmx.S + * Updated the TODO list and wrote a small todo.pl parser to make it + easier to see which items remain to be done + * `make snapshot' now creates vlc-*.tar.gz and vlc-*-nocss.tar.gz + +0.2.50 +Wed, 31 Jan 2001 04:30:37 +0100 + + * Version 0.2.50 for the Linux Expo + * --overlay and --fulscreen options (only work with --vout sdl) + * The vlc exits after the end of the stream, which prevents from having + to kill it and relaunch it during a presentation. + * Not a very nice hack, but will probably spare us a few user complaints: if + no -a option is specified, the vlc will play the first audio type it finds, + so there is no need to specify "-a ac3" for a DVD anymore. + * CSS support kludged for current DVD input. + It is very slow now but will be more adapted to the forthcoming DVD + input. + It should read the first title of many DVDs but has been tested with few. + * Beginning of ifo commands to implement DVD navigation. + * Fix for field pictures. + * Hooks for fast forward and slow motion support. + * Fixed backwards moves. + * Tuned up optimizations. + * Completely removed BIZARRE_OPTIMS. + * Check for the needed headers for DVD ioctls + * Some cleaning in the dvd authentification code + * Various miscellaneous minor optimizations of the video parser. + * Beginning of support for encrypted DVDs. + * It only tests encryption and authenticates disc. + * Really fixed GetChunk now. + * 32-bit aligned bitstream (not that fast). + * The motion compensation routines are now modules as well ; choose your + implementation with `--motion motion', `--motion motionmmx' or + `--motion motionmmxext'.

Meuuh, what do + you think ? + * Fixed the Makefile to spare a few variables here and there. + * Reduced module hide delay, removed loading of the audio output + plugins since they are now modules. + * Changed a few intf_Msg to intf_DbgMsg, and added "vout:", "intf:", + and so on in a few other messages. + * Removed unused includes in the idct modules. + * Correction of bugs in ifo parsing.
