Now we have real + title units. + * Fixed size for a majority of DVD. + * More consistency in the p_input->stream management. + * Made input_SelectES() and input_UnselectES() not block the input thread + for a long time. + * Changed debian/control to fix Debian bug #83707 + * Added a --disable-css configure option + * Moved some code here and there in the DVD plugin to make it easier + for me to build the Debian CSS-free packages. + * Fixed miscellaneous alignment problems (alpha/sparc ports) ; + * Added a fps display when toggling 'i' ; + * Fixed a bug in the video parser where one picture buffer was not + released at quit time ; + * Broke the mux_rate calculation, but hey guys ! it was already broken and + nobody noticed it. + * New function for DVD reading, that is able to read multiple blocks + (I've chosen 32 now), that doesn't use any memcpy anymore and is also much + faster. 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. Also, right-mouse-clicking + works in GGI mode as well. + * Optimizations done to the SPU decoder. Now the RLE is expanded at + decoding time, not rendering time. The main loop in vout_RenderSPU + is now 20 lines long. + * The Gtk+ interface is now built as a Debian package as well. The Gnome + package depends on it because of the icon and menu entry. + * Added an intf_WarnHexDump() function to do raw hexadecimal dumps of + memory areas. For debugging purposes or for real men, as you wish. + * Lots of tidying in dvd_ioctl.c, a few comments added. + * Better error handling in the subpicture decoder. + * Tidied video_spu.c. More to come later. + * Fixed subtitle displaying. Will soon work in overlay mode as well. + * Disabled slice-level resynchro since it's probably buggy. + * Fixed a structural major bug in the macroblock structure management. + * Added debug messages. + * Fixed a compile problem in debug mode. + * Added functions and hooks to display dates instead of off_t. + * Added a 'd' keystroke to dump the stream contents (for debugging + purposes). + * New ES detection based on .ifo for DVD module. It might fail (I have + found one DVD for which ifo seems false). + * Title and chapter selection on the command line (see -t and -T options) + It will allow to watch some DVD that went through menus by default. + * Beginning of menus in gnome interface. + * Fix bug in ac3dec for mono streams + * BeOS: bew video output method, the vlc now uses BBitmap instead of + BDirectWindow (better performances) + * BeOS: added resizing + * BeOS: added beta support for overlay + * Added a plain Gtk+ port of the Gnome interface, for the gnome-impaired + people. 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. Never tested which streams + where PAT or PMT are splitted in more than one section. + +0.2.62 +Fri, 2 Mar 2001 17:32:24 +0100 + + * DVD plugin is still non-functional when you don't have DVD ioctls, + but at least it compiles under BeOS as well. + * Minor cosmetic changes here and there. + * Added the BeOS code for vlc_mutex_destroy() and vlc_cond_destroy() + * Minor optimizations in the video decoder. + * Move ac3 globals variables into structures + * Fixed a bash-ism in configure.in + * Fixed a segfault in input.c when no input plugin was found for + a given file. + * Fixed a deadlock in the Gnome interface. Next time I'll initialize + my mutexes, I promise. + * Added Oct to the authors list in intf_gnome.glade :) + * Second step in area management ; everything is in place now to have + title handling; it is coming :) + * Ported Glide and MGA plugins to the new module API. 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. It is much better now + but still fails with some DVD for which the movie is not the first + Program. + * Beginning of ideas to handle chapters and ES selection + * configure.in and Makefile.in patches for better SDL support and + support for $(bindir) $(datadir) and $(libdir) stuff, courtesy + of Arkadiusz Miskiewicz + * Ported ggi.so to the new modules API. 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'. Of course, the best implementation is chosen + if you don't ask for any. There doesn't seem to be any performance hit + due to the move to shared libs, which is a good thing. Please test + actively if you have time, though. + * Updated --help result, manpage, INSTALL document, and a few files. + * Borrowed LiViD's MMX and MMX EXT IDCT. This might break things. Expect + a performance increase. + * Removed a few useless malloc() and unused variables in the audio SDL stuff + * Prepared the work for built-in modules (not yet finished) + * Small tweak in the copy handling, reduce CPU usage. + * --aout sdl now works + * Added SDL sound support. Sounds a bit laggy sometimes but my streams + are ill. please try. + * Modified configure.in and all that stuff. Re-run configure + * SDL audio, video and interface are all part of the same .so now. + * Removed YUV old files :-> + * Reverted something that wasn't supposed to go into the cvs :p + * Removed -fargument-noalias-global which causes problems with as (???). + * Borrowed livid's latest libmmx and MMXEXT MC. Not in the Makefile => to + test it, replace vdec_motion_inner_mmx.c by vdec_motion_inner_mmxext.c. + * A few changes in the CPU extensions detection code, borrowed from the + kernel and from mpeg2dec. I still don't know how to detect if code + compiled with -mcpu=pentiumpro will run, since the cpuid arcanes are + quite obtuse to me. Perhaps we should also have a way not to load modules + if they have been compiled with a different CPU to avoid segfaults. + * Add check for MMX EXT extensions, which doesn't work, which is a good + thing since there is no MMX EXT IDCT yet :) + * Change for the forthcoming fast forward and slow motion support. + * Fixed the --aout, --idct and --yuv flags + * Updated manpage and --(long)help output to reflect that change + * Removed a few unneeded #includes here and there + * Cosmetic changes in error messages in input.c + * Now use of 64 bits offsets to parse the whole DVD.

Our pts are _at last_ accurate. + * Finally fixed repeat_first_field and co. (pas encore tout compris...) + * Implemented video_parser bitstream callback for PTS/DTS. + * Fixed close button support in SDL + * Fixed --width and --height support in SDL + * Fixed the bug-that-made-the-vlc-segfault-on-exit, which means that + more than ever, « le client ne segfaulte pas ». + * There was still a problem upon quitting: sometimes the null packet + wasn't big enough to reach a decoder breakpoint, so I now create 10 + of them (since I can't make it bigger) to be sure. 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. Now the structures should be well + initialized. It remains some segfaults but it globally works. + * DVD mode is enabled with option --dvd. For the moment, it only read + the first vts and find the movie if it is at the beginning of the title + set. + * Beginning of dvd_input. Parsing of ifo file almost completed. + * The IDCT functions are now located in modules : the classic IDCT, + our optimized IDCT, and MMX IDCT. + * Cosmetic changes for modules (pf_* instead of p_*) + * Fixes to the BeOS and dummy modules + * Changed default values : + INPUT_PTS_DELAY down to 200 ms ; + video heap down from 10 to 5 pictures ; + decoder fifo size from 1023 to 511 PES ; + * Fixed various bugs in 32 bit-versions of input_ext-dec.h ; + * Fixed a bug in GetChunk() ; + * Renamed GetByte, GetWord, ShowWord to _GetByte, _GetWord, _ShowWord ; + * Moved decoder_fifo-specific code from programs.c to dec.c ; + * Fixed bugs in program.c that prevented vlc to close all decoders ; + * Gave sam a lesson for the use of the bitstream in spu_decoder.c :ppp ; + * Made the video parser unlock the reference pictures before quitting + (still one left, yaknow why ?) + * Destroy fifo mutex and cond variables _after_ they are used for + the last time. henri, that'll be one binouze. + * Attempt to port the BeOS audio plugin to the new module API. Will + probably need a few fixes to work or even compile. + * Ported the alsa plugin to the news vlc module API + * Fixed 32 bits bitstream bugs. + * Moved the MPEG audio decoder to the new bitstream + * Cleaning in the SPU decoder. + * Moved swab32 from input_ext-dec.h to common.h. We probably won't need + it anymore really soon, since ntohl() and htonl() seem to be properly + optimized when gcc is passed the right optimization flags. + * Fixed GetBits32 and RemoveBits32.
