165 - support for 65600 channels instead of just 64
167 - fixed signature buffer overruns
171 - big endian alignment fix, should fix sparc64 and others
173 - moved timestamp handling into RTMP protocol innings, all packets have
174 absolute timestamps now, when seeking the stream will start with timestamp 0
175 even if seeked to a later position!
177 - fixed a timestamp bug (should fix async audio/video problems)
181 - fixed host name resolution bug (caused unexpected crashes if DNS resolution
184 - also using the hostname in tcUrl instead of the IP turns out to give much
189 - RTMPE support (tested on Adobe 3.0.2,3.0.3,3.5.1, Wowza)
191 - SWFVerification (tested on Adobe 3.0.2,3.0.3,3.5.1)
193 - added AMF3 parsing support (experimental feauture, only some primitives, no references)
195 - added -o - option which allows the stream to be dumped to stdout
196 (debug/error messages go to stderr)
198 - added --live option to enable download of live streams
200 - added support for (Free)BSD and Mac (untested, so might need more fixing,
201 especially for PPC/sparc64)
203 - fixed a bug in url parsing
205 - added a useful application: streams, it will start a streaming server and
206 using a request like http://localhost/?r=rtmp://.... you can restream the
207 content to your player over http
211 - fixed resume bug: when the server switches between audio/video packets and FLV
212 chunk packets (why should a server want to do that? some actually do!) and rtmpdump
213 was invoked with --resume the keyframe check prevented rtmpdump from continuing
217 - added win32 and arm support (you can cross-compile it onto your Windows box
220 - removed libboost dependency, written a small parser for rtmp urls, but it is
221 more of a heuristic one since the rtmp urls can be ambigous in some
222 circumstances. The best way is to supply all prameters using the override
223 options like --play, --app, etc.
225 - fixed stream ids (from XBMC tree)
229 - fixed segfault on Mac OS/BSDdue to times(0)
235 - fixed a bug introduced in v1.3 (wrong report bytes count), downloads won't
240 - fixed audio only streams (rtmpdump now recognizes the stream and writes a
241 correct tag, audio, video, audio+video)
243 - improved resume function to wait till a the seek is executed by the server.
244 The server might send playback data before seeking, so we ignore up to e.g. 50
245 frames and keep waiting for a keyframe with a timestamp of zero.
247 - nevertheless resuming does not always work since the server sometimes
248 doesn't resend the keyframe, seeking in flash is unreliable
252 - fixed non-standard rtmp urls (including characters + < > ; )
254 - added small script get_hulu which can download hulu.com streams (US only)
255 (many thanks to Richard Ablewhite for the help with hulu.com)
259 - fixed FLV streams (support for resuming extended)
261 - fixed hanging download at the end
263 - several minor bugfixes
265 - changed parameter behaviour: not supplied parameters are omitted from the
266 connect packet, --auth is introduced (was automatically obtained from url
267 before, but it is possible to have an auth in the tcurl/rtmp url only without
268 an additional encoded string in the connect packet)
272 - fixed warnings, added -Wall to Makefile
276 - fixed stucking downloads (the buffer time is set to the duration now,
277 so the server doesn't wait till the buffer is emptied
279 - added a --resume option to coninue incomplete downloads
281 - added support for AMF_DATE (experimental, no stream to test so far)
283 - fixed AMF parsing and several small bugs (works on 64bit platforms now)
