115 called. This should fix the memory leak some people reported when using
117 * ./src/misc/netutils.c: factored code common to the interfaces into the
118 network_ChannelJoin function.
119 * ./plugins/mga/xmga.c, ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c, ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c,

180 macros to accept a default value as an argument.
181 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: modified the command line parsing to accept
182 --foo and --no-foo when a "foo" boolean config option is defined.
183 * ./src/interface/main.c: modified the help menu to indicate whether the
184 option is enabled or disabled by default.
185 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: when the video output hasn't received
186 a new picture for a while, it redisplays the last displayed one. This will
187 be useful for DVD menus, but also solves the "picture becomes black when
188 vlc is paused" issue.
189 * ./plugins/dummy/dummy.c: added a CATEGORY_HINT to the config.
190 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: small change to the ToggleFullscreen routine

209 * ./src/input/mpeg_system.c: in order to make ac3 working in avi file, moved
210 some code from ac3 decoder to mpeg_system.c. (skip 3 bytes is now done in
211 mpeg_system.c and no longer in ac3 audio decoder).
212 * src/misc/netutils.c: tests if message from vlcs begins with 'E:' or 'I:'
213 instead of testing 'E: ' and 'I: ' (to simplify miniVLCS).
214 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c, ./plugins/avi/libioRIFF.c: added more safety tests.
215 * ./include/inpu_ext-dec.h: added a check to fifo->b_die after the call

225 we don't do this, trying to use the class when the plugin is reloaded will
227 * win32: replaced TUpDown components by TCSpinEdit ones, which allow
228 values greater than 32767. It fixes the audio bug ocurring when a
229 configuration file is saved under the win32 interface
230 * ./plugins/win32/mainframe.cpp: Added some extra space between
231 statusbar and toolbar when nothing is displayed.
232 * ./plugins/text/logger.c: on win32 the logger interface shows up a dos
234 * ./plugins/gtk/gnome.c: fixed uninitialized variable
235 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_playlist.c: simplified GtkRebuildCList()
236 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: changes to reduce segfaults on exit,
237 and also allow only one Playlist window.
238 * ./include/modules_inner.h: fixed a crash when reopening a hidden
240 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_access.c: on Win32 the DVD access plugin has to be

242 to open files as dvds.
243 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_access.c: fixed a side-effect bug causing crashes
245 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_yuy2.c: margin support for the 420 planar to 422

261 rebuild anything to Makefile.config, so that editing it will not cause
263 * ./plugins/beos/VideoWindow.h, ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: improved
264 Overlay and Bitmap output modes.
265 * ./plugins/macosx/aout_macosx.m, ./plugins/macosx/aout_macosx.m: removed
267 * ./plugins/macosx/intf_controller.[mh]: you can now drag & drop files onto
268 the vlc dock icon. CFBundleDocumentTypes in Info.plist doesn't seem to have
269 any effect, so you'll have to hold down command-option when dropping until
271 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: removed previous patch to the video
272 output since it causes problems for some people.
273 * ./plugins/macosx/*: worked around a bug in seeking.

289 prevent segfaults if InitThread does not complete.
290 * ./plugins/text/rc.c: on win32 the rc plugin opens a new console.
291 * ./plugins/filters/*: filters were using memalign but freeing p_data instead
293 * ./extras/Win32_msvc/vlc.dsp: updated MSVC++ project.

298 * ./configure.in: new --with-ffmpeg option for standard installations.
299 * ./src/interface/main.c: updated long descriptions.
300 * ./plugins/dummy/intf_dummy.c: on win32 the dummy interface plugin will
301 open a dos command box. With this fix, vlc should never fail silently and
302 leave a ghost process running in the background when there isn't any
304 * ./include/config.h: on win32 DVD/VCD_DEVICE defaults to to D:.
305 * ./src/interface/main.c: added a few *_LONGTEXT descriptions.
306 * ./plugins/mpeg_vdec/video_parser.c: moved the mpeg-motion and mpeg-idct
307 options to the mpeg_vdec plugin.
308 * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c: mark subpictures destroyed when we end
310 * ./src/audio_output/aout_pcm.c: desperate attempt to improve audio output.
311 * ./doc/vlc-howto.sgml, ./doc/vlc.1, ./README.MacOSX.rtf: updated
313 * ./INSTALL.win32: updated INSTALL.win32.
314 * ./plguins/directx/vout_directx.c, ./plugins/directx/vout_events.c: a little
315 bit of clean-up in the directx video output plugin
316 * ./plugins/macosx/*: fixed Mac OS X resizing.
317 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: warning levels are no longer additive, patch
318 courtesy of Arnaud de Bossoreille de Ribou <bozo@via.ecp.fr>.
319 * ALL: changed __inline__ with inline (autoconf does the job for us anyway,
320 and mipspro doesn't know about __inline__).
321 * ./src/audio_output/aout_pcm.c, ./src/audio_output/aout_ext-dec.c: fixed
322 deadlock in NextFrame() in aout_pcm.c.
323 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c, ./plugins/directx/vout_events.c: fixed
324 a bug in the directx window creation function. We register a window
325 class once per process so we must be careful not to free the associated
327 * ./extras/Win32_msvc/vlc.dsp: updated the MSVC++ project files and added
328 support for dirent (vlc compiled with msvc can now load plugins - even
329 compiled with mingw).
330 * ALL: small portability fixes.
331 * ./plugins/macosx/*: menu item to maximize the volume in Mac OS X.
332 * ALL: dropped dependancy on autoconf 2.52.
333 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c: modified the directx video plugin to try
334 to create an YUV surface before falling back to an RGB surface when it's
335 not possible to use overlays. Some graphic cards can do the YUV->RGB
336 conversion in hardware during the blitting stage.
337 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c: in the directx video plugin, we now
338 request that the RGB surface be created in video memory. The reasoning
339 behind this is that usually surfaces in video memory benefit from more
340 hardware acceleration (like for instance hw rescaling, hw blitting, etc.).
341 * ./plugins/directx/directx.c: added two options to the directx video plugin
342 to disable the above features (mainly because my video driver is buggy and
343 doesn't handle them well).
344 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: small cosmetic changes to the generation of
346 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: fix for config_GetHomeDir() on win32.
347 SHGetFolderPath() is located in shfolder.dll not shell32.dll.
348 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: fix for the gtk preferences dialog box. To
349 be sure that an int or float value is actually changed we call
350 gtk_spin_button_update() in the GtkInt/FloatChanged() event handler.
351 * ./debian/control: made the Build-Depends: entry a one-liner (Closes
353 * ./src/audio_output/aout_spdif.c: a lock was not released.
354 * ./plugins/text/rc.c: added a safety lock.
355 * ./plugins/gtk/*: new Network dialog box for Gtk and Gnome interfaces.

361 * ./plugins/ac3_spdif/ac3_spdif.c, ./src/audio_output/aout_spdif.c: check for
362 b_die and b_error in all loops so that we don't remain stuck waiting for
363 data whereas the vlc has tried to quit.
364 * ./src/misc/mtime.c: we use nanosleep whenever possible (patch from Meuuh).
365 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c : it will not segfault with broken avi with an unknown
367 * ./src/misc/mtime.c: removed usage of usleep (not thread safe) (by Meuuh).
368 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: video output patch to improve handling
369 of late pictures (by Meuuh).
370 * ./src/interface/intf_msg.c, src/interface/intf_playlist.c: disabled
371 calls to realloc(_,0) in a similar way to input_programs.c.
372 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_seek.c: fix random segfaults on title change (i_cell
373 should be tested _before_ we access the structures).
374 * ./src/input/input_programs.c: fixed memory corruption by setting a few
375 pointers to NULL after they have been free()ed.
376 * ./src/input/input_programs.c: removed now useless ASSERTs.
377 * ./plugins/beos/*: improved overlay and bitmap support, not tested on nVidia
378 cards. Lower CPU usage and no thread created per frame.
379 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_summary.c: added a sanity check.
380 * ./plugins/vcd/*: vcd access plugin now uses mpeg_ps demux instead of its
382 * ./plugins/macosx/vout_qdview.m: attempt to fix the video output with
384 * ./plugins/ac3_adec/ac3_adec.c: probably fixed most "crash when changing
385 audio track" problems by zeroing the p_ac3dec structure.
386 * ./plugins/ac3_adec/ac3_adec.c: fixed a "INPUT_MAX_ALLOCATION reached"
388 * ./src/input/input_dec.c, ./src/input/input_programs.c: check size to avoid
390 * ./plugins/win32/network.*: new Network dialog box.
391 * ./src/input/input.c, ./plugins/access/http.c, ./plugins/access/udp.c: added
392 the input_FDNetworkClose() function to be called when closing a networking
393 stream instead of input_FDClose().
394 * ./src/misc/netutils.c: use closesocket() instead of close() at the end
395 of the network_ChannelJoin() for WIN32.
396 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: fixed an issue with long options from
397 modules where option arguments and playlist entries were mixed.
398 * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c: fixed endianness issue; subtitles colors
400 * ./plugins/satellite/input_satellite.c: fixed a compilation warning.
401 * ./configure.in: added libdvbpsi version check.
402 * ./include/modules_inner.h: fixed a bug in module reinitialization,
403 which should fix crashes after a long pause.
404 * ./src/input/*: fixed a bug (glitch/segfault) when seeking.
405 * ./src/input/mpeg_system.c: we handle PCR even if they are not attached
407 * ./configure.in: new --with-mad-tree configure option.
408 * ./BUGS: updated BUGS file.
409 * ./src/input/mpeg_system.c: it should now be possible to quit when reading
411 * ./src/misc/iso-639.def, ./include/iso_lang.h, ./src/misc/iso_lang.c:
413 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_es.c, ./plugins/dvd/dvd_summary.c,
414 ./plugins/dvdread/input_dvdread.c: adapted DecodeLanguage calls to the new

417 * ./include/mmx.h, ./plugins/imdct/*: gcc-3.1 compilation fixes courtesy
418 of Yves Duret and other Mandrakesoft guys I don't know.
419 * ./plugins/macosx/intf_vlc_wrapper.m: do not eject when we're reading from
421 * ./src/misc/modules.c: if a module has a zero-scored capability, we don't
422 try to use it, unless it was explicitely requested (--vout for example).
423 * ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c: fixed an aspect ratio issue (thanks Meuuh).
424 * ./src/input/mpeg_system.c: fixed an old old bug in TS demux, thank you
426 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_audio.c: to avoid problem with PS, test only the
427 first 4 bytes for mpeg header so some broken files, and all web radio will
428 not work. You can change this by changing value of MPEGAUDIO_MAXTESTPOS.
429 * ./doc/vlc-howto.sgml: spelling mistakes, small updates, harmonization with
430 other documentations (thank you Alexis).
431 * ./plugins/satellite/*: some fixes in options parsing (thank you Sam).
432 * ./extras/MacOSX/Resources/vlc.icns: new OS X icon, courtesy of Joeri van
433 Dooren <joeri@van.dooren.be>.
434 * ./plugins/mpeg_vdec/video_decoder.c: Mac OS X fix.
435 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_audio.c: you should again be able to play PS
436 streams (I hope it will be enough). Sorry.
437 * ./plugins/ffmpeg/ffmpeg.c: CVS version of ffmpeg can now decode
438 msmpeg4 v1 v2, so I added support for this. But you can always use
439 the old ffmpeg library without any problem (I hope ;).
440 * ./include/video.h : added new fourcc codes for avi.
441 * ./plugins/filter/clone.c: New filter, `--filter clone', duplicates
442 display. To duplicate 12 times, use `--filter clone:12'.
443 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c, ./plugins/x11/xvideo.c: --xvideo-chroma flag to
444 force the XVimage format used.
445 * ./plugins/text/ncurses.c: ncurses interface improvements by Thomas Graf.
446 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_audio.c: we don't use any more U32_AT.
447 * ./plugins/macosx/*: disabled auto-hiding of mouse cursor since it doesn't
448 work when browsing menus; instead, click in the video window
449 * ./plugins/macosx/*: fixed a major bug in the spu decoder.
450 * ./plugins/macosx/*: Objective-C files are now .m.
451 * ./plugins/macosx/*: fixed menus.
452 * ./plugins/macosx/*: menus for Program/Title/Chapter/Languages.
453 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c: we use input_ClockManageRef to do synchro.
454 * ./include/common.h, ./include/input_ext-plugins.h: exported
455 input_ClockGetTS for plugins.
456 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_audio.c: a demux for mpeg audio stream (file,
458 * ./src/interface/main.c: if Ctrl-C doesn't kill vlc cleanly for any
459 reason, user just needs to hit Ctrl-C again 1 second later and we'll
460 exit disgustingly instead of freezing.
461 * ./plugins/macosx/intf_vlc_wrapper.c: menu code fixes.
462 * ./plugins/macosx/*: fixed Mac OS X VOUT_SIZE_CHANGE signal.
463 * ./plugins/ffmpeg/ffmpeg.c: corrected some bad lock/unlock.
464 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c: can now use --novideo.
465 * ./plugins/macosx/*: improvements of the OS X GUI.
466 * ./plugins/mad/*: added mad plugin downscale config option for selecting
467 downscaling routine. Choices are: fast, mpg321. Default the fast version
468 is used. The downscale option mpg321 uses an algorithm that adapts to
469 dither errors. This routine is borrowed from MPG321 code.
470 * ./plugins/mad/*.c: mono audio streams get now duplicated on the right
471 channel instead of silencing the right channel (untested).
472 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c, ./plugins/ffmpeg/ffmpeg.c: improvements.
473 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: video plugins that don't handle
474 rescaling themselves have to let the video_output thread know about
475 resizing events (with VOUT_SIZE_CHANGE event). (this part needs some
476 clean-up but it is basically working for the X11 and SDL plugins).
477 * ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c: fixed fullscreen for the SDL plugin.
478 * ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c, ./plugins/mga/xmga.c: xmga and sdl now switch to
479 fullscreen on double-click.
480 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c: try to not freeze when reaching end file.
481 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c, ./src/video_output.c: fixed the resizing and
482 scaling of the X11 video output.
483 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: clicking on the video doesn't pause it anymore
484 (use spacebar for this), but double-clicking will now switch between
485 fullscreen and window mode.
486 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: the Apply button in the preferences menu
487 is grayed out unless there's a change to apply.
488 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: GtkConfigApply() now clears the list of
489 config changes before returning.
490 * ./plugins/network/ipv4.c: fixed ipv4.so compilation under QNX.
491 * ./configure.in: deactivated ipv6.so under QNX for now.
492 * ./plugins/macosx/aout_macosx.c: more stable audio output with more output
494 * ./BUGS: no text in the status bar with gtk intf, no window title in gtk
495 intf on some machines, correct title on another.
496 * ./plugins/gtk/*.glade, ./plugins/gtk/*_interface.*: fix for interface
497 autoshrink when toolbar text isn't displayed.
498 * ./plugins/gtk/gnome.c, ./plugins/gtk/gtk.c, ./plugins/gtk/gtk_display.*:
499 callbacks for the hide tooltips and toolbar text options.
500 * ./plugins/mad/*: aout fifo adapts it size according to the length of the
501 first frame. The change is needed for MPEG1/2 layer III, because the size
502 of output pcm from mad_decoder is different.
503 * ./include/modules_inner.h, ./src/misc/configuration.c: support for config
505 * ./configure.in: we check support for variadic macros (screw Borland!).
506 * ./plugins/gtk/gnome.c: new option lets you hide the text of the
507 GNOME interface toolbar.
508 * ./FAQ: small FAQ update. Please note that everyone can update this FAQ if
509 they want, it is not my property :-).
510 * ./AUTHORS: added quite a few missing names.
511 * ./plugins/qnx/vout_qnx.c: port of the QNX vout plugin to the vout4 API,
512 courtesy of Pascal Levesque <Pascal.Levesque@mindready.com>.
513 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c: you can now use slow and fast reading. After seeking,
514 audio and video synchro is better.
515 * ./plugins/macosx/aout_macosx.c: misc sound fixes.
516 * ./configure.in: fixed VCD double detection.
517 * ./src/misc/configuration.c, ./plugins/text/logger.c: the configuration file
518 and the log file are opened in text mode. This mode should only have a
519 meaning on Win32 and isn't supposed to break any other platform. If does
520 give you any trouble then shout.
521 * ./configure.in: added a --with-a52-tree option to the configure script.
522 * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c: FOURCC_YUY2 subtitles support (for NVidia
523 overlay) courtesy of Rudolf Cornelissen <rag.cornelissen@inter.nl.net>.
524 * ./plugins/kde/*: configuration dialog for the KDE interface, courtesy
525 of Sigmund Augdal <sigmunau@stud.ntnu.no>.
526 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_yuy2.h: workaround for yet another annoying gcc
527 behaviour with inline assembly (seems to be BeOS-specific). If anyone has
528 a better idea than the huge "memory" constraint, please have a look at
529 the MMX_CALL() macro!
530 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c: corrected a bug with broken avi files.
531 * ./src/misc/modules_plugin.h: added config_Get/PutFloatVariable to
532 p_sysmbols. Thanks to Sigmund Augdal for pointing this bug out.
533 * ./src/audio_output/aout_pcm.c: on Win32 the aout_pcm thread is given a high
534 priority. This avoids lots of audio underruns, especially when moving
535 around the video window.
536 * plugins/avi/avi.c : changed in order to read more avi files, Meuuh
537 you can now read your file ;) (but audio is awful, perhaps because of mad
538 plugin ?). Fix a bug for audio with some avi files.
539 * ./plugins/satellite/satellite.c: fixed a compilation issue in satellite
540 input. It now uses common or libdvbpsi ts demux. Untested cause I can't
541 get our Nova Card work again.
542 * ./src/video_output/vout_pictures.c: restored vout_CopyPicture(). It is
543 needed by the directx plugin damnit ;-)
544 * ./include/config.h: restored AOUT_BUFFER_DURATION to its old value. It
545 should solve quite a few underrun problems.
546 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c: a little bit of DirectX plugin clean-up.
547 * ./ipkg/control: added more information in ipkg control file.
548 * ./include/modules_inner.h: the module name is now a default shortcut, for
549 it, no need to manually add it.
550 * ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c, ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: when in fullscreen
551 mode, the Esc key does not quit immediately, but first escapes from
552 fullscreen mode. User-requested feature.
553 * ./include/os_specific.h: fixed a C++ compilation issue.
554 * ./include/videolan/vlc.h: removed the main() declaration because SDL
555 defines it as a macro.
556 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c: with some broken avi files, will not freeze, and
557 try to detect end of file.
558 * ./include/threads_func.h: moved the function definitions from threads.h
559 into threads_funcs.h. This allows us to move p_main_sys into p_main
561 * ./configure.in: fixed the --with-gtk-config-path and --with-sdl-config-path
563 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c: seek is faster.
564 * ./configure.in: fixed a typo in libdvbpsi handling.
565 * ./plugins/vcd/cdrom_tools: FreeBSD 4.5 port of the vcd input.
566 * ./INSTALL.win32: updated win32 compilation instructions.
567 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_ts.c: fixed --program option.
568 * ./include/common.h: fixed vlc_memalign.
569 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c: now it can play broken files with seek enabled but
570 it's very slow (will be fixed soon).
571 * ./src/misc/beos_specific.c: added system_Configure(). Sorry O:-)
572 * ./src/input/input_programs.c: a video divx ES will no longer be considered
573 as an audio ES (thanks sam).
574 * ./src/misc/darwin_specific.c: added system_Configure().
575 * ./plugins/macosx/vout_macosx.c: cleaned up QTScaleMatrix().
576 * ./plugins/macosx/*: A/V sync should be much more precise.
577 * ./plugins/macosx/vout_qdview.c: borders in fullscreen mode are now black
578 and the movie is centered.
579 * ./extras/MacOSX/vlc.pbproj/project.pbxproj: new creator ID: VLC#.
580 * ./src/misc/modules_plugin.h: exported input_ClockManageRef for fenrir.
581 * ./include/video.h: moved vout_CopyPicture out of the way, an inline
582 function did not make sense here.
583 * ./include/video.h: moved vout_ChromaCmp out of the way.
584 * ./plugins/avi/fourcc.h, ./include/video.h: merged these two files into
586 * ./include/os_specific.h: this file is now always included.
587 * ./include/debug.h: removed this file which was almost useless, and moved
589 * ./include/common.h: fixed vlc_memalign and changed its prototype to
590 follow posix_memalign's.
591 * ./configure.in: dropped usage of $withval and $enableval in favor of the
592 safer variants $with_foo and $enable_foo.
593 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c: will not segfault when no audio is found/supported.
594 * ./plugins/ffmpeg/ffmpeg.c: with empty frame(data_packet) it won't segfault.
595 * ./plugins/avi/avi.c: use KeyFrame to seek, so video will not be bad as
597 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_ts.c: moved Program Specific Information
598 decoder to the ts demux module.
599 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/Makefile: added a mpeg_ts_dvbpsi module tha uses
600 libdvbpsi to decode PSIs. It is used by default if the lib is found. It
601 shares much code with mpeg_ts.
602 * ./plugins/directx/vout_events.c: fixed typo. You have to double click on
603 the video window to switch to fullscreen.
604 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: on Win32 the config file is now stored under
605 the "Application Data" folder belonging to the user. (this works if at
606 least IE4 is installed, otherwise the old method is used to get the
608 * ./configure.in: fixed MacOS X module linking problem.
609 * ./src/interface/main.c: we no longer segfault if argc == 0.
610 * ALL: renamed PLUGINS to __PLUGINS__ to avoid conflicts with libraries
612 * ./src/input/input_ext-plugins.c: cosmetic change.
613 * ./plugins/ac3_adec/*: use of _M to avoid conflict with libavcodec.a.

615 * ./plugins/ffmpeg/*: a video decoder for divx v3 and opendivx.
616 * ./plugins/win32/preferences.cpp: fixed a compilation bug
617 * ./plugins/avi, ./plugins/ffmpeg: created empty directories for fenrir's
619 * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c: fixed the spu decoder to take the pitch
620 of the destination picture into account when rendering the subtitles
621 (Implemented only for the YUV modes).
622 * ./plugins/directx/vout_events.c: fixed the mouse autohidding feature in
623 the DirectX plugin (at least partially).
624 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c: fixed the DirectX video output for
625 non-overlay modes. It was only working in RGB16 before.
626 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c: DirectX video output plugin now uses
627 triple buffering for YUV overlay. This improves the video quality a lot
628 (no tearing) without affecting performance. (I knew double buffering
629 sucked but I just discovered why triple buffering is better: you don't
630 have to wait for the vsync to flip the buffers).
631 * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c, ./plugins/dvd/dvd_es.c: temporary fix
632 to avoid retrieving the spu palette from a network stream as if it was
634 * ./src/interface/main.c: tidied the help output code.
635 * ALL: removed underscores from option names and made a few options more
636 self-explanatory, for instance --input_channel becomes --audio-channel;
637 run vlc -H to see what has changed.
638 * ALL: replaced many occurences of "plugin" with the word "module".
639 * ./src/interface/main.c: moved all satellite-specific configuration options
640 to the satellite plugin.
641 * ./po/*: updated translations.
642 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_yuy2.h: optimized the 420 planar-to-packed chroma
643 transformations. They're now PIC-friendly as well.
644 * ./plugins/macosx/intf_open.c: added Open disc and network panels.
645 * ./plugins/macosx/intf_controller.c: some changes to the control layout.
646 * ./src/interface/main.c: i_warning_level is set to 0 to avoid unwanted
648 * ./po/en_GB.po: British translation.
649 * ./src/interface/main.c, ./src/misc/configuration.c: fixed the warning_level
650 handling: "-v" and "--warning" are now working as they should and they also
651 are cumulative (using -vv --warning=3 you end up with i_warning_level=5).
652 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: support for short options. -V, -A, -I
653 are back, and we also have -4 and -6 for IPv4/IPv6.
654 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: added config_GetFloatVariable() and
655 config_PutFloatVariable() to the config module.
656 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: added a --zoom <float> config option.
657 * ./plugins/idct/idct_sparse.c: added a call to RestoreCPUState() in
658 InitIDCT() so that the FPU is still available after a call to InitIDCT().
659 * ./plugins/text/logger.c: deactivated stream buffering when logging to a
661 * ./po/*: re-ran make update-po, fixed a few translations.
662 * ./po/fr.po: completed the french translation.
663 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk.glade, ./plugins/gtk/gnome.glade: synchronized a few
664 strings between the Gtk+ and GNOME modules to avoid duplicate translations.
665 * ./po/de.po: updated german translation. Many thanks to Thomas Graf.
666 * ./doc/vlc-howto.sgml: URL & mailing-lists corrections.
667 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: the last category from the config options
669 * po/nl.po: updated Netherlands translation of interface.
670 * po/fr.po: completed french translations.
671 * ALL: internationalized all configuration strings.
672 * ./src/interface/main.c: we now set LC_CTYPE to get the right charset.
673 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: lots of simplifications in the code.
674 * ./po/vlc/pot: updated translations.
677 Thu, 18 Apr 2002 06:43:42 +0200
679 * ./vlc.spec: fixed build dependencies.

688 know how to center the picture in the screen, and make the remaining space
689 black instead of white, PLEASE drop me a mail!
690 * ./src/input/mpeg_system.c: in TS demux, a program is selected only if a
691 PMT for it was found. This should fix the problem that occured when reading
692 a file directly extracted from a satellite card.
693 * ./plugins/access/udp.c: UDP access plugin uses input_SetProgram.
694 * ./AUTHORS: added people locations, just for fun.
695 * ./configure.in: disabled SSE plugins when using mingw32.
696 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: disabled the AltiVec warning message on the
697 PowerPC platform because it was misleading.
698 * ./plugins/dvdread/dvdread.c: have dvdread plug-in respond to dvd: URLs.
699 * ./plugins/macosx/intf_macosx.c: MacOS X interface shouldn't take as much
701 * ./plugins/motion/motionaltivec.c: fixed a bug in AltiVec-enabled MC (thanks

709 * ./src/interface/main.c: added options to configure antenna (sat_lnb_lof1,
710 sat_lnb_lof2, sat_lnb_slof and sat_diseqc). They only appear if satellite
712 * ./plugins/satellite/input_satellite.c: fixed a few bugs in satellite
713 input (device was not closed in every failure case, symbol rate limits
714 in gnome interface were wrong).
715 * ./plugins/gtk/*: added FEC choice in command line, gtk and gnome
716 interfaces. Command line is now satellite:<frequency(Hz)>,
717 <polarization(0=V,1=H)>,<fec(1=1/2,2=2/3...)>,<symbol rate(kbyte/s)>
718 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: implemented a fix for nVidia overlays
720 * ./Makefile: fixed the Win32 interface under Win2k/XP.
721 * ./src/misc/modules_plugins.h: implemented a dlerror()-like wrapper
723 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_ps.c: fixed another bug in PS demux: the first
724 program added was at the same time declared as the current program and as
725 a new program, which made the ES be selected two times.
726 * ./src/input/input_programs.c: fixed a bug in input_SetProgram, that made
727 the ps file input launch without video.
728 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: fixed code to close vout window, does not

736 * ./plugins/aa/aa.c: a few simplifications in the code.
737 * ./src/input/input.c: made file access plugin use input_SetProgram so that
738 we may change program when reading a file.
739 * ./src/input/input_programs.c: fixed a bug in input_SetProgram.

749 * ./src/misc/modules_plugins.h: implemented a dlerror()-like wrapper
751 * ./configure.in: wrote a better test for libdvdread detection.
752 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk.glade: added lines this #@%$! Glade had munched, fixes
753 a segfault in the Gtk+ popup menu when toggling the interface.
754 * ./plugins/motion/motion.c: fixed a compilation issue on compilers which
755 do not accept empty macro arguments.

770 * ./Makefile: we don't include the Gtk+ and SDL DLLs in the win32 package
771 anymore, the package is now 700k instead of 4MB.
772 * ./configure.in, ./Makefile, ./Makefile.opts.in: replaced LIB_FOO with
773 foo_LDFLAGS and CFLAGS_BAR with bar_CFLAGS for faster builds, and moved a
774 lot of stuff from Makefile.opts.in back to configure.in.
775 * ./install-win32: updated script for NSIS 1.96.
776 * ./configure.in: added --enable-intfwin to enable the win32 interface and
777 --with-bcbuilder to tell make where to find Borland C++ Builder.

790 * ./debian/rules, ./debian/control: deactivated the vlc-kde package because
791 it does not work, and removed the vlc-a52 package because liba52 is
792 statically linked into vlc.
793 * ./debian/control: added more helpful package descriptions.
794 * ALL: changed version to 0.3.0. Yeah, it's coming.
795 * ./Makefile: fixed make dist.

799 * ./Makefile: renamed the `snapshot' rule to `dist'.
800 * ./Makefile: removed the `snapshot-nocss' rule which isn't needed anymore.
801 * ./Makefile.modules: modules now depend on Makefile.opts.
802 * ./configure.in: added (hopefully) explicit messages on how to get
803 libdvdcss and link vlc with it.
804 * ./plugins/dvdread/input_dvdread.c: removed inclusion of dvd_udf.h.
805 * ./plugins/win32/*: Added management for secondary config dialogs
806 * ./plugins/ogg/*: added preliminary files for an Ogg/Vorbis decoder a
807 contributor is currently working on.
808 * ALL: removed libdvdcss from the vlc tree.
809 * ALL: removed libdvdread from the vlc tree.
810 * ./acconfig.h: removed this file.
811 * ./plugins/dvd/dummy_dvdcss.c: merged this file into dvd.c.
812 * ./AUTHORS: moved a few gentlemen to the libdvdcss AUTHORS file.
813 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_callbacks.c: use the dvd_device config option.
814 * ./po/ja.po: added Japanese translation from Fumio Nakayama
815 <endymion@ca2.so-net.ne.jp>.
816 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_callbacks.c: fixed disc ejection code.
817 * ./include/threads.h: new pthread implementation for WinNT/2K/XP. This
818 implementation shouldn't be subject to race conditions as it is using
819 SignalObjectAndWait() from the Win32 API. As this should be somehow slower
820 than the old method (still used on Win9x), you can specify that you want
821 to use the old method with the "fast_pthread" config option.
822 * ./include/videolan/vlc.h: added a new p_main_sys global variable. This
823 variable is a pointer to an OS specific structure which is defined in
824 *_specific.h. This structure can be filled by the already existing
825 System_Init() function and is a nice way to avoid too many #ifdefs.
826 * ./include/defs.h.in: got rid of the DVD_DEVICE macro. We now use the
827 dvd_device config option. This creates a small memory leak as we don't free
828 the string obtained from config_GetPszVariable, but I think we can live
830 * ./configure.in: the SSE plugins are disabled on the mingw32 build as they
831 don't work (because memalign is not implemented on win32, and malloc only
832 aligns on an 8 bytes boundary).
833 * ./INSTALL.win32: fixed a small mistake.
834 * ./include/config.h: fixed config directory name for windows.
835 * ./plugins/win32: the network dialog now respects the preferences settings.
836 * ./src/input/input_ext-plugins.c: compilation fix. :-ppppp
837 * ./plugins/memcpy/fastmemcpy.h: AltiVec-enabled version of fastmemcpy.
838 * ./plugins/macosx/vout_macosx.c: use ImageBuffer instead of ScreenBuffer in
839 OS X video output (should be faster).
840 * ./src/interface/main.c: check that channels have been created before
841 the call to network_ChannelJoin.
842 * ./plugins/win32/*: fixed a few bugs in the preferences.
843 * ./plugins/win32/*: better auto-resizing of the main window.
844 * ./plugins/win32/*: the disc dialog now respects the preferences settings.
845 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: small compilation fix.
846 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: added a test for the nooverlay option.
847 * ./include/config.h: changed directory of the config file for BeOS to be
848 consistant with OS standard.
849 * ./configure.in: BeOS, liba52 and chroma plugin compilation fixes.
850 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_access.c: removed a warning.
851 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: Solaris fixes by Meuuh.
852 * ./FAQ: removed outdated stuff.
853 * ./plugins/directx/vout_events.c: fixed yet another bug related to the event
855 * ./plugins/directx/vout_events.c: removed a few debug messages.
856 * ./extras/Win32_msvc/*: Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 6 project files. This
857 is useful mainly for debugging as the hardware accelerated plugins can't
858 be compiled with msvc.
859 * ./plugins/downmix/ac3_downmix_sse.c, ./plugins/downmix/ac3_downmix_3dn.c:
860 Win32 compilation fixes when downmixsse and downmix3dn are declared as
862 * ./plugins/directx/vout_events.c: fixed the waiting on the event thread
863 creation in the directx plugin.
864 * ./Makefile: updated the "package-win32" rule.
865 * ./install-win32: all txt files are now converted to dos format (CRLF).
866 * ./doc/win32/Cross-Compile-Howto.txt: VLC-Win32 Cross-Compile Howto,
867 courtesy of Bill Eldridge.
868 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: improved overlay detection, default colour
870 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: allow the user to resize the configuration
872 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: moved config_GetIntVariable out of the
874 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: you can now set a maximum height for the
875 configuration windows in the gtk and gnome plugins. This patch _doesn't
876 change_ the look of the interface unless this interface tries to use more
877 space than allowed, in which case scrollbars are added to make the
878 navigation easy. Note that this setting only affects the default size the
879 interface will use, the user is then free to change the size of the window
881 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: tooltips are now triggered only in
882 specific places. This is a lot less intrusive and annoying for the users.
883 * ./plugins/win32: fixed the bug on exiting the vout pressing 'q'.
884 * ./plugins/beos/*: implemented an "always-on-top" feature for the interface
885 window, RGB16 Overlay supported again, resizing is now implemented
887 * ./plugins/win32: subtitles should work, now.
888 * ./plugins/access/udp.c: disabled the server argument in udpstream: because
889 it confuses users and is not of any practical use.
890 * ./src/interface/main.c: fix for sparc.
891 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_access.c: don't try to stat() the dvd drive letter on
893 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c: disabled YUV overlay double buffering for
894 now, as it seems to actually be slower.
895 * ./include/threads.h: temporary fix in vlc_cond_signal() for win32 (I really
896 should use SignalObjectAndWait() on WinNT so we can avoid race conditions
897 in the pthread code). This fixes a problem noticed on WinXP where vlc would
898 freeze regularly and eat-up all the CPU (fun no?).
899 * ./src/input/input_programs.c: when unselecting an ES, we must ged rid of
900 p_es->p_pes so that it is regererated when we select this ES again. It made
901 vlc segfault when switching from some stream to another, or when switching
902 program in satellite input.
903 * ./plugins/access/udp.c: UDP access plug-in can now receive MPTS (Multiple
904 Program TS) and switch programs.
905 * ./plugins/macosx/*: audio and video output go to time-constrained
906 scheduling [OS X port].
907 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: some dirty ifdefs for a nicer gnome
908 interface (gnome buttons, gnome dialogs).
909 * ./po/nl.po: translation of user interface messages to Netherlands.
910 * ./plugins/gtk/gnome.c, ./plugins/gtk/gtk.c: new options "gtk_hide_toltips"
911 or "gnome_hide_tooltips". Tooltips are enabled by default. This option is
912 only considered on module initialization.
913 * ./configure.in: GNU make detection.
914 * ./extras/MacOSX/Resources/English.lproj/MainMenu.nib/objects.nib: deleted
915 non-working fullscreen menu item [OS X].
916 * ./plugins/access/http.c, ./plugins/access/udp.c: udp and http no longer
917 modify p_input->psz_name.
918 * ALL: various little portability fixes.
919 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: changed the behaviour of the config file:
920 now all the config options are saved. <string> config options which have
921 no default value are also saved in the config file but as an empty string,
922 and config_LoadConfigFile will ignore empty config options, which also
923 means we cannot pass an empty string as a <string> config option. (this
924 shouldn't matter anyway).
925 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: modified the gtk interface to save an
926 empty <string> option as a NULL pointer.
927 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: modified config_LoadConfigFile to consider an
928 empty <string> option as a NULL pointer.
929 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: save button (inadvertently suppressed).
930 * ./plugins/win32: added toolbar icons (thanks xav), we can no longer edit
931 plugin names in the preferences :)
932 * ./plugins/win32: the tool button for playlist is now a toggle button.
933 * ./plugins/beos/InterfaceWindow.cpp: disabled controls if the playlist was
935 * ./plugins/win32/*: added a win32 interface plugin, developed with Borland
936 C++ Builder. To build the plugin, follow the instructions in
938 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: fixed an ugly structure, the tabs are not
939 verticaly expanded as they were, small enhancements.
940 * ./plugins/gtk/gnome.c, ./plugins/gtk/gtk.c, ./plugins/gtk/gtk_common.h: new
942 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: modifications of some widgets, the
943 structure, cosmetic changes.
944 * ./src/interface/main.c: typos, a couple of new descriptions.
945 * ./src/interface/main.c: moved the "display" option from main to the
946 relevant plugins. ( We now have the x11_display, xvideo_display,
947 xmga_display and ggi_display options ).
948 * ./INSTALL-win32.txt: fixed a little omission.
949 * ./src/plugins/gtk/*: fixed a bug that made vlc segfault when choosing a
950 program, change to another and come back to the first one.
951 * ./src/plugins/gtk/*: added gtk and gnome interfaces for satellite input. We
952 should find a way to hide the button if satellite support is not compiled.
953 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: implemented correct scaling and used new
954 window size variables. Beta always on top for the interface window. New
956 * ./plugins/macosx/aout_macosx.c: fixed a problem in the MacOS X aout which
957 caused the previously played audio frames to be played when there were no
958 new frames available.
959 * ./plugins/macosx/vout_macosx.c: MacOS X vout now uses the height/width
960 calculated in video_output.c.
961 * ./configure.in: Win32 fix.
962 * ./configure.in: miscellaneous fixes for the OS X port.
963 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: the calculation for the initial video
964 window dimensions is now done in video_output.c and made available into
965 p_vout->i_window_height/width. This allows to get rid of duplicated code
966 and unify the behaviour of the video output plugins. (not all the plugins
967 have been modified because I didn't want to break anything).
968 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: moved GetConfigurationFromCmdLine() into
969 configuration.c and renamed it to config_LoadCmdLine().
970 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: config_GetHomeDir doesn't use getpwuid_r
971 anymore as this was creating some problems on solaris. This function now
972 uses getpwuid and is called only once to store the home directory into the
974 * ./plugins/satellite/*: added satellite input. It works with WinTV Nova
975 card, and siemens 0.9.4 drivers from www.linuxtv.org.
976 * ./src/interface/intf_msg.c: fixed stupid bug in stupid
977 ConvertPrintfFormatString() function.
978 * ./plugins/win32/waveout.c: fixed the "waveout not closing" bug. We need to
979 reset the waveout device before closing it.
980 * ./src/input/mpeg_system.c: fixed a bus error on UltraSparc.
981 * ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c: Win32 and Solaris compilation fix.
982 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: improved scaling, correct aspect ratio even
983 in full screen mode, duplicate code reduces and framework for Overlay and
984 OpenGL modes in place.
985 * ./src/misc/modules_plugin.h: kludge to allow the ALSA module to be
986 compiled as a plugin. Please test.
987 * ./include/modules.h: fixed a C++ warning.
988 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: VCD raw device fix, courtesy of Steven Schultz.
989 * ./configure.in: better IPv6 detection. IPv6 is disabled under MacOS X (no
991 * ./src/input/input_programs.c: fixed some bugs in program management:
992 selected ESs must be attached to the selected program.
993 * ./plugins/aa: aalib output plugin courtesy of Sigmund Augdal.
994 * ./configure.in: fixed a few bashisms.
995 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: fixed build under Solaris.
996 * ./TODO: updated todo list.
997 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_access.c: fixed a memory leak.
998 * ./plugins/mpeg_vdec/vpar_pool.c: fixed a memory leak.
999 * plugins/win32/waveout.c: fixed typo.
1000 * ./configure.in: BeOS compilation fixes.
1001 * ./debian/rules: activated (broken) KDE interface.
1002 * ./plugins/access/http.c: fixed a segfault.
1003 * ./plugins/alsa/aout_alsa.c: fixed a segfault.
1004 * ./include/common.h: fixed the compilation fix for Borland C++ :)
1005 * ./include/common.h: compilation fix for Borland C++.
1006 * ./plugins/macosx/aout_macosx.c: MacOS X aout now uses AudioConverter for
1008 * ./plugins/macosx/*: Various MacOS X intf improvements and bug fixes.
1009 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_rgb8.c: fixed a warning.
1010 * ./plugins/filter/deinterlace.c: fixed chroma deinterlacing.
1011 * ./plugins/kde/kde.cpp: the KDE interface compiles again.
1012 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_es.c: fixed a segfault I introduced today.
1013 * ./plugins/network/ipv4.c: cosmetic fix.
1014 * ./src/interface/main.c: fixed a typo in the --help output.
1015 * ./src/misc/netutils.c: fixed a segfault in the vlcs communication; still
1016 unstable but solving other bugs won't do any good without rewriting the
1017 whole playlist code. Which I'm doing right now.
1018 * ./configure.in: MacOS X compile fixes.
1019 * ./src/input/input.c: skip "//" if we find "://" in a resource we have to
1020 play : this allows us touse the syntax udpstream://host.
1021 * ./extras/MacOSX_dvdioctl: removed outdated files.
1022 * ./plugins/fx/scope.c: fixed an infinite loop error.
1023 * ./plugins: fixed segfaults in various demux plugins.
1024 * ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c: SDL_VIDEODRIVER can be specified from the
1025 command line; try "--vout sdl:aalib"
1026 * ./configure.in: fixed linking of the ipv4 plugin.
1027 * ./configure.in: DirectX plugin is now correctly detected and configured.
1028 * ./BUGS: updated bug list.
1029 * ./configure.in: ./configure --help should be a lot clearer now.
1030 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_rgb8.c: plain C 8 bpp transformation.
1031 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_rgb16.c: plain C 24/32 bpp transformations.
1032 * ./plugins/ggi/ggi.c: support for 8 bpp displays.
1033 * ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c: support for 8 bpp displays.
1034 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: support for 8 bpp displays.
1035 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: fixed a segfault.
1036 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: added an alternate fullscreen method. With this
1037 method, _nothing_ is allowed to be displayed on top of the video
1038 (especially not taskbars, etc...). Of course this can also be annoying
1039 sometimes, this is why it's an option.
1040 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: small fix for the config file. The parser
1041 assumes that the config file is divided into sections (a section is the
1042 config data for a plugin and begins with something like [foo]), so the
1043 comment for the beginning of the section must be after the section marker
1045 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: tidied code and prevented curruption on
1046 window not containing the video. Video window now returns to correct size
1047 and position after toggling full screen.
1048 * ./configure.in: more modules are plugins.
1049 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: changed ~/.VideoLan/vlc to ~/.videolan/vlcrc,
1050 and a few cosmetic changes (sorry Gildas for the butchery).
1051 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_rgb16.c: C version of the I420 to RV15/16 chroma.
1052 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: this the last piece of the new configuration
1053 module. You can now save your configuration options (only from the
1054 gtk/gnome interface for now). The config file will be saved as
1056 * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c: we now analyze the subtitle image
1057 data to find the border color and the inner colors when there was
1058 no way to find the palette data (network stream).
1059 * ./plugins/mpeg_system: fixed a parsing bug I introduced yesterday.
1060 * ./Makefile: fixed OS X vlc.app compilation dependencies.
1061 * ./configure.in: fixed the endianness check under Solaris.
1062 * ./src/input/input.c: strings are now initialized to "" instead of NULL.
1063 * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c: we now properly support the subtitle
1064 palette information we get from the DVD. Subtitles rox !
1065 * ./src/video_output/vout_subpictures.c: removed all DVD-specific routines
1066 and put them into spu_decoder.c.
1067 * ./plugins/audio_output/aout_spdif.c: removed an ugly loop.
1068 * ./plugins/audio_output/aout_spdif.c: moved iec958/spdif encapsulation from
1069 ac3_spdif to aout_spdif. It will eventually allows to use ac3_adec or a52
1071 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_access.c: fixed chapter selection at startup.
1072 * ./src/input/input_dec.c: p_es->p_demux_data is available in
1073 p_config->p_demux_data so that the input can pass information directly to
1074 the decoder. First application: aspect ratio for DVD is read from the ifo
1075 (should fix the buf with aspect ratio in anamorphic DVDs).
1076 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_es.c: the DVD plugin also copies the spu yuv palette in
1077 p_demux_data so that the spudec can display subtitle with the right color
1079 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_menu.c: removed duplicate code and useless lock in gtk.
1080 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: fixed EOF and Stop segfault in VCD input:
1081 input_BuffersEnd was being called twice.
1082 * ./AUTHORS: updated Tony Castley's e-mail.
1083 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: new resizing and scaling code. More in line
1084 with BeOS standards.
1085 * ./plugins/a52/a52.c: a52 plugin updated to use liba52-0.7.3 (which is now
1086 available in debian :)
1087 * ./src/interface/main.c: new configuration option to choose audio output
1088 format at runtime. It allows to select spdif pass-through decoder with
1089 --ac3_adec and to remove the ugly b_ac3 in main.h. As a consequence --spdif
1090 doesn't work anymore: you should use --ac3_adec pass.
1091 * ./src/interface/main.c: return the option name in error message for
1092 unknown option intead of the argument.
1093 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: gtk config interface modified so you can
1094 only have one instance of a plugin config dialog box displayed at one time.
1095 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c: new GTK configuration interface. This
1096 interface is generated dynamically at run-time from the configuration data
1097 contained in each plugin.
1098 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: config_PutPszVariable and config_GetPszVariable
1099 are now thread safe.
1100 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: few modifications/optimizations to the config
1102 * ./include/config.h: got rid of all the _VAR macros in config.h.
1103 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: added missing include (MacOS X port).
1104 * ./plugins/dvd/*: fixed EOF segfault at end of DVD.
1105 * ./src/input/input.c: buffer manager is renintialised at area change.
1106 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_access.c, ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: we now exit more
1107 cleanly on initialization error.
1108 * ./plugins/dvd/*: rewrote most functions in DVD plugin. Some old bugs might
1109 have been solved in the operation. The plugin some be more readable now,
1110 and should produce fewaer segfaults (I hope so :p)
1111 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: added some tests in open.
1112 * ./plugins/alsa/aout_alsa.c: spdif support in the ALSA plugin.
1113 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: when reaching the end of a track, moves to the
1115 * ./src/interface/main.c: disabled the GNOME segfault dialog in debug
1116 mode. We want nice, clean segfaults, with huge core files and a lot
1118 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c: I hope you liked this bug: DVD demux was always used.
1119 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_demux.c: fixed demux plugin selection.
1120 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: take the lock on stream in VCDInit. Please
1121 test, as I don't have any VCD to do it.
1122 * ./plugins/ac3_adec/ac3_parse.c: ac3dec is now less verbose.
1123 * ./src/interface/interface.c: fixed a deadlock when seeking the
1124 stream using the keyboard arrows.
1125 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_display.c: removed an occurance of former angle item in
1127 * ./plugins/dvd/input_dvd.c, ./plugins/dvdread/input_dvdread.c: fixed a bug
1128 in ES management introduced lately in DVD/DvdRead.
1129 * ./plugins/dvd/*: beginning of reorganisation in DVD plugin source files,
1130 in order to try to make it easier to understand. There is some work left
1132 * ./plugins/vcd/vcd.c: decreased the score for VCD plugin, as the VCD demuxer
1133 was used even for DVD :p. It should make autodetection work.
1134 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: modified vcd input for the new input III. Still
1135 have problems with end of tracks.
1136 * ./plugins/vcd/vcd.c: modified the command line, as stef did for the DVD.
1137 * ./plugins/dvd/input_dvd.c: DVD demux was no longer selected under win32.
1138 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_summary.c, ./plugins/dvdread/input_dvdread.c: DVD angle
1139 is now handled through a program structure, so that the interface needs
1140 nothing specific to change angle.
1141 * ./src/input/input_clock.c: fixed a bug in clock management where ES without
1142 a program couldn't get timestamped.
1143 * ./plugins/gtk/*: fixed program management in gnome/gtk. Program now also
1145 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_menu.c: in interface, only display ES associated with
1146 the selected program, or with no program at all.
1147 * ./src/input/input.c: fixed typo in the win32 change to the input parser.
1148 * ./plugins/dvd/input_dvd.c, ./plugins/dvdread/input_dvdread.c: more complete
1149 command line parsing for DVD, hopefully working this time.
1150 * ./plugins/network/ipv6.c: IPv6 network module, courtesy of Alexis Guillard
1151 <alexis.guillard@bt.com>, for BT.
1152 * ./src/interface/main.c: --6 and --4 options to force IPv6 or IPv4 (FIXME:
1153 it should be -6 and -4 but I don't know how to do it with the new
1154 configuration module).
1155 * ./src/misc/netutils.c: channel manager now uses a socket from the network
1156 plug-in and is more portable (and probably broken, too :)
1157 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_ps.c, ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_ts.c:
1158 input_ReadPS and input_ReadTS are now in mpeg_system.c to be more easily
1159 reused by plug-ins other than mpeg_ps and mpeg_ts.
1160 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: we now make sure the aout plugin buffers
1161 always contain between AOUT_BUFFER_DURATION/2 and AOUT_BUFFER_DURATION*3/2
1162 worth of audio. This should solve the audio buffer underruns.
1163 * ./src/input/input.c: fix for the bug in input when filename contains a '@'
1165 * ./src/input/input.c: simplified the win32 specific changes to the input
1166 parser. (I think we can safely assume that no access plugin name will have
1167 a length of one character).
1168 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c: DVD access plugin is only called if specified under
1169 windows (no automatic detection).
1170 * ./plugins/dvd/input_dvd.c: replaced setenv with putenv.
1171 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_open.c: fixed a bug in gtk.
1172 * ./plugins/dvd/input_dvd.c: new command line for DVD, to get rid of global
1173 options input_title or so.
1174 * ./Makefile: added network to the list of the plugins directories.
1175 * ./plugins/dvd/input_dvd.c: fixed DVD input under Win32.
1176 * ./src/input/input.c: fixed input parser under win32, which couldn't
1177 understand that c:\windows\bureau is a valid file and doesn't need to be
1178 accessed with the plugin 'C' :-)
1179 * ./AUTHORS: added xav.
1180 * ./include/videolan/vlc.h: got rid of int_types.h and did a few changes
1181 Ipkiss will need. Hope I did not break other platforms.
1182 * ./include/common.h: fixed compilation problem related to ssize_t.
1183 * ./include/common.h: various Win32 compilation fixes.
1184 * ./include/input_ext-plugins.h: DVD compiles, but doesn't work yet.
1185 * ./plugins/network/ipv4.c: fixed some typos in my previous Win32 multicast
1187 * ./plugins/dummy/input_dummy.c: fixed `vlc vlc:quit'.
1188 * ./src/input/input.c: initialized uninitialized variables.
1189 * ./src/input/input.c: initialize p_access_module & p_demux_modules to NULL
1190 when input thread is created.
1191 * ./po/no.po: Norwegian translation by Sigmund Augdal. Berdå ka pø tüt.
1192 * ./src/misc/modules.c: shortcuts for --intf work again, gvlc launches the
1193 Gtk interface, qvlc launches the Qt interface, etc.
1194 * ./plugins/fx/scope.c: we now have sound together with --aout scope.
1195 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c, ./plugins/dvdread/dvdread.c: removed numerous
1197 * ./plugins/network/ipv4.c: multicast under Win32 now works with the new
1199 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c, ./plugins/dvdread/dvdread.c: dvd and dvdread support
1201 * ./src/input/*, ./plugins/network/*, ./plugins/access/*: Input III
1202 (Episode 1). Major rewrite of the buffer core functions, modularity of
1203 access plugins (file, udp, http), modularity of network stack (ipv4, soon
1204 ipv6), autodetection of the type of stream.
1205 * ./plugins/mpeg_vdec/vpar_headers.c: we no longer crash when the next
1206 stream doesn't have the same image size as the previous one.
1207 * ./src/audio_output/aout_pcm.c: another overrun fix; please test.
1208 * ./configure.in: fixed a plugins/dsp.so compilation issue under OpenBSD.
1209 * ./plugins/dsp/aout_dsp.c: OpenBSD compilation fix.
1210 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: fixed a segfault on exit.
1211 * ./src/input/input.c: BeOS network support (no idea if it works when you
1212 don't have BONE, though).
1213 * ./include/common.h: BeOS compile fixes.
1214 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: fixed BeOS video output.
1215 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: fixed uninitialized variable in
1217 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: char pointers obtained by
1218 config_GetPszVariable need to be freed.
1219 * ./src/interface/main.c: forgot to add the declaration of server_port.
1220 * ./src/input/input.c: multicast now works under Win32, but this is a _bad_
1222 * ./include/threads.h: support for the State Threads Library, a userland
1223 threads library (http://state-threads.sourceforge.net/). Useless to most
1224 people, but can be handy to debug stuff. Activate with `--enable-st'.
1225 * ./plugins/ac3_spdif/ac3_spdif.c, ./plugins/dvdread/dvdread.c,
1226 ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c: adaptation to new configuration scheme for dvd,
1228 * ./plugins/lirc/lirc.c: removed CVS garbage.
1229 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_menu.c: fixed a compile issue on IA64.
1230 * ./plugins/fx/scope.c: new toy plugin, an audio scope module.
1231 * ./src/audio_output/aout_spdif.h: replacement header for aout_common.h.
1232 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: fixed a quite old bug in the audio
1233 output which made the sound stutter when wrapping around the audio output
1235 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: lots of simplifications in the audio
1236 output, got rid of b_stereo.
1237 * ./plugins/gtk/*: added a menu in the GTK and gnome interfaces to change
1238 the current program in multi-program streams (such as ones provided by a
1240 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: new configuration architecture for vlc.
1241 * ./src/interface/intf_msg.c: fixed array over-run bug in intf_MsgUnsub.
1242 * ./configure.in: don't try to grok altivec with mingw32.
1243 * ./configure.in: --with-directx-path should now indicate the path where the
1244 actual headers are (before the headers had to be in an include subdir). By
1245 the way you can download these header files from the videolan web site.
1246 * ./src/misc/modules_plugin.h: if symbol foo isn't found in the
1247 plugin, we always try to open _foo, whatever the architecture.
1248 * ./plugins/lirc/lirc.c: non-blocking patch from Sigmund Augdal
1249 <sigmunau@stud.ntnu.no>; hope this time my enhancements don't break
1251 * ./configure.in: gtk*-config detection fix for FreeBSD.
1252 * ./configure.in: removed a bashism.
1253 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: support for systems without shm.h.
1254 * ALL: QNX compilation fixes here and there; the qnx plugin still doesn't
1256 * ./Makefile: the win32 port now uses a more recent version of gtk+.
1257 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk.c: the log window is now black with colourful text.
1258 * ./plugins/gtk/gnome.c: ported the log window to the GNOME interface.
1259 * ./src/interface/intf_msg.c: messages are sent to the queue even if
1260 -vvvv* wasn't specified.
1261 * ./plugins/vcd/cdrom_tools.c: MacOS X VCD support.
1262 * ./plugins/lirc/lirc.: various fixes, thanks to Sigmund Augdal.
1263 * ./plugins/text/logger.c: rewrote an ugly loop.
1264 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk.c: added a Gtk+ window containing all the log
1265 messages; updated in real time. To open it, go to "view"->"messages".
1266 * ./src/interface/intf_msg.c: got rid of TRACE and intf_DbgMsg which were
1268 * ./src/interface/intf_msg.c: all intf_*Msg functions now write to stderr.
1269 * ./src/interface/intf_msg.c: implemented a message queue interface plugins
1271 * ./plugins/text/logger.c: wrote the logger interface plugin. Usage:
1272 vlc -I logger:filename.log.
1273 * ./src/video_output/vout_subpictures.c: lots of fixes in the SPU renderer.
1274 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: fixed a typo in aspect ratio
1276 * ./plugins/macosx/vout_macosx.c: MacOS X vout improvements.
1277 * ./plugins/macosx/intf_macosx.c: MacOS X intf now returns, allowing vlc to
1279 * ./Makefile: added a new make target: package-macosx.
1280 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_playlist.c: Win32 compilation fixes (mingw includes
1282 * ./configure.in: configure now checks for ddraw.h and not directx.h.
1283 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c: don't include directx.h anymore (this
1284 file isn't part of the directx sdk).
1285 * ./plugins/waveout/waveout.c: moved all the stuff from aout_waveout.c
1286 directly into waveout.c (I don't know what I was thinking about when I
1287 created these two files ;-)
1288 * ./plugins/waveout/waveout.c: until we fix the audio buffer underrun
1289 problem, waveout will be the default audio output on win32 (instead of
1291 * ALL: got rid of *_Probe functions because most of them were duplicates
1292 of the real _Init or _Create functions. That's 1000 lines of code gained.
1293 * ./src/misc/modules.c: we try not to keep the global lock in module_Need,
1294 which should speed up output spawning.
1295 * ./plugins/dummy/input_dummy.c: fixed vlc:quit command.
1296 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_playlist.c: compilation fix.
1297 * ./plugins/macosx/*: preliminary fixes for the vout4 port.
1298 * ./plugins/gtk/*: Win32 fixes.
1299 * ./plugins/beos/*: BeOS fixes from Rudolf Cornelissen.
1300 * ./src/interface/main.c: --desync now really accepts a value in ms.
1301 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: fixed a crash when not opening a VCD.
1302 * ./src/video_output/vout_subpictures.c: fixed subtitles under BeOS and
1303 other architectures which don't support overlay.
1304 * ./plugins/a52/a52.c: compilation fix (include stdint.h).
1305 * ./plugins/a52/a52.c: fixed a SEGV.
1306 * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: ported the BeOS RGB video output to
1307 vout4. The overlay video output still needs to be written though.
1308 * ./plugins/a52/*: just renamed the liba52_adec plugin into a52 to comply
1309 with the naming convention used by the other plugins.
1310 * ./plugins/lirc/lirc.c: IR remote control plugin by Sigmund Augdal
1311 <sigmunau@stud.ntnu.no>, activate with --enable-lirc.
1312 * ./configure.in: put liba52_adec in a builtin for PIC/non-PIC reasons.
1313 * ./plugins/liba52_adec/*: new AC3 decoder plugin using liba52 from Aaron
1314 Holtzman and Michel Lespinasse. This plugin isn't used by default, you
1315 have to specify: --ac3_adec liba52.
1316 * ./src/misc/modules.c: changed module_Need to make it possible to
1317 have several modules with the same shortcut name.
1318 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_open.c: fixed a bug in the network dialog.
1319 * ./src/misc/modules_plugin.h: added mstrtime() to module_symbols_t so we
1320 can compile the mpeg_vdec plugin with TRACE mode enabled.
1321 * ./plugins/ac3_spdif/ac3_spdif.c: fixed ac3_spdif which has been broken
1323 * ./plugins/ac3_adec/ac3_adec.c: check frequency in ac3_adec and change fifo
1325 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: moved initialisation of p_aout from
1326 plugins to audio_output.c; if audio output rate is specified at launch
1327 time, we try to use it by default.
1328 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_rgb16.c: MMX YUV to RGB transformation for 15bpp.
1329 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c: added double-buffering for the directx
1330 plugin in overlay mode.
1331 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c: several directx bug-fixes: implemented
1332 the right behaviour on exit, fixed bug preventing the creation of several
1333 windows (the wall filter is working now :-)), fixed unnecessary background
1334 redraws (it made the video flicker), fixed bug where we were losing the
1335 video display because of lost surfaces in video memory, when using hardware
1336 overlay, the output window will now specify "(using hardware overlay)".
1337 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: we don't use DPMS functions if they are
1339 * ./plugins/win32/waveout.c: added a new very simple audio plugin for
1340 Win32. This plugin uses the waveOut API which is a lot easier to use for
1341 streaming stuff than directsound. (you don't have to take care of
1342 underflows anymore because it doesn't use circular buffers). If you are
1343 having a lot of underflows, this plugin is currently better adapted than
1345 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: moved some initialization stuff in
1346 audio_out.c so we can know the caracteristics of the audio stream before
1347 calling aout_Open().
1348 * ./configure.in, Makefile: configure and Makefile tweaking for dvdread
1350 * ./src/misc/modules_plugin.h: fixed a missing function initialization
1351 which made decoder plugins segfault in GetChunk calls.
1352 * ./configure.in: proper soundcard.h check from Yves Duret.
1353 * ./plugins/mpeg_adec/mpeg_adec.c: enabled --stereo option for streams that
1354 pretend to be mono while they are not.
1355 * ./plugins/ac3_adec/ac3_adec.c: fixed an alignment issue in the ac3 decoder.
1356 * ./src/input/input_dec.c: decoders do not necessarily use bit stream (see
1358 * ./plugins/mad/mad_adec.c: mad PTS should finally be accurate.
1359 * ./configure.in: some configure changes.
1360 * ./plugins/mad/mad_adec.c: libmad_input now takes one frame at a time (see
1361 mad_adec.h for defines)
1362 * ./plugins/mad/mad_libmad.c: audio_linear_dither() gives better sound
1363 quality then s24_to_s16_pcm(), but also makes audio artefacts louder so
1364 disabled it for now.
1365 * ./plugins/mad/mad_libmad.c: cleaned up libmad_output.
1366 * ./plugins/mad/mad_adec.c: cleaned up InitThread.
1367 * ./plugins/mad/mad_adec.h: made buffer size match libmad's expectations.
1368 * ./plugins/mad/DESIGN: updated documentation.
1369 * ./plugins/directx/vout_events.c: fixed crashes on exit in the directx
1371 * ./src/video_output/vout_pictures.c: vout_PlacePicture is now accepting
1372 picture width=height=0.
1373 * ./configure.in: added extra checks for strange compilers such as
1374 Borland C++ which do not support all gcc options. Note that vlc does
1375 not compile with bcc32 yet, but is getting closer and closer to.
1376 * ./plugins/win32: skeleton for the win32 interface Ipkiss is developing.
1377 * ./config.guess ./config.sub: latest GNU versions.
1378 * ./configure.in: when possible, xvideo is compiled as a plugin.
1379 * ./vlc.spec: fixed a few minor inaccuracies.
1380 * ./debian/control: vlc-gui is no longer depended on, but rather recommended.
1381 * ./src/interface/main.c: --spumargin flag; use this to force displaying
1382 subtitles at the bottom of the screen instead of putting them in the
1383 middle, for instance: `--spumargin 5'.
1384 * ./plugins/qnx/qnx.c, ./plugins/macosx/macosx.c, ./plugins/beos/beos.cpp:
1385 converted the plugin initialization code of the macosx, beos and qnx
1386 code. (please note that they should still not compile as they need
1387 to be adapted to the new Vout4 architecture)
1388 * ./plugins/directx/vout_directx.c: major rewrite of the directx video
1389 plugin to adapt it to the new vout4 architecture. This plugin has also
1390 been through a major clean-up and it is now much more robust and optimized.
1391 * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_playlist.c: fixed a few problems with the win32 build.
1392 * ./src/interface/main.c: replaced the "overlay" command line option with
1393 "nooverlay". The former was confusing and useless because overlays were
1394 used by default anyway.
1395 * ./vlc.spec: imported MandrakeSoft's new spec file.
1396 * ./debian/control: fixed build-dependencies for vlc-mad.
1397 * ./debian/rules: fixed the vlc-arts and vlc-mad package builds.
1398 * ./plugins/gtk/{gtk|gnome}.c: the gnome/gtk interface should no longer use
1399 p_input->stream before it has been initialized.
1400 * ./src/input/input.c: stream lock is initialized in input_CreateThread
1401 instead of initThread, to have it initialized when we call it in the
1403 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: added support for S8 and U16 aout.
1404 * ./debian/control: fixed Debian build-depends.
1405 * ./include/config.h: changed RELEASE to HAVE_RELEASE because RELEASE
1406 is already defined in <scsi/scsi.h> under Linux.
1407 * ./plugins/mad/mad_adec.c: fixed issues in the PTS handling of the mad
1408 plug-in (incomplete).
1409 * ./src/input/input_ext-dec.c: more precise way to retrieve a PTS from the
1411 * ./INSTALL.libmad: configure, build and install instructions for libmad
1412 library and mad plugin.
1413 * ./plugins/mad/mad_adec.c: smooth sound (not tested on iPaq).
1414 * ./src/audio_output/aout_common.c: le coup de grâce: all the code in audio
1415 output is now factorized (except for ac3 spdif) in aout_common.c/.h.
1416 * ./src/audio_output/aout_common.h: aout thread functions are declared with
1418 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: HUGE cleanings in audio output: removed
1419 AOUT_INTF_*_FIFO, which where not used.
1420 * ./src/audio_output/aout_common.c: factored S16StereoPlay, U8MonoPlay, and
1421 so on.., in a single function aout_FillBuffer (unsigned 8bit may be broken,
1422 but I have no stream to test with :(
1423 * ./configure.in: a few fixes for the Win32 build.
1424 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: fixed all the problems related to
1426 * ./src/misc/modules.c: fixed a compile issue under platforms without
1427 HAVE_DYNAMIC_PLUGINS.
1428 * ./src/interface/intf_eject.c: MacOS X port.
1429 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_rgb16.c: 24/32 bpp software YUV.
1430 * ./plugins/ggi/ggi.c: activated double buffering.
1431 * ./src/video_output/vout_pictures.c: we create more Xv pictures to
1432 get smoother rendering.
1433 * ./plugins/mad/mad_libmad.c: removed aout_CreateFifo from mad_adec.c
1434 InitThread() and added it to mad_libmad.c.
1435 * ./src/interface/intf_eject.c: BSD compilation fix suggested by Steven M.
1437 * ./src/audio_output/aout_s16.c: beginning of code factorization in
1438 aout_s16 (more cleaning will come). As for libmad, I have tried to create
1439 the aout fifo in libmad_output, to open it with the right sample rate, but
1440 strangely it didn't work.
1441 * ./src/input/input.c: fixed a few segfaults caused by the dummy plugin.
1442 * ./plugins/mpeg_adec/mpeg_adec.c: fixed a segfault due to misuse of
1444 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: replaced XFlush with XSync. This must be the
1445 fourth time someone has to commit this, so I added a reminder :-)
1446 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/input_ts.c: hopefully fixed a bug in TS input, that
1447 caused a segfault when there was no network stream.
1448 * ./src/interface/intf_eject.c: BSD/OS port by Steven M. Schultz.
1449 * ./include/modules_inner.h: replaced _X with __VLC_SYMBOL because _X was
1450 already a system macro under MacOS X.
1451 * ./plugins/dummy/dummy.c: fixed vlc:loop, vlc:quit, etc. entries.
1452 * ./plugins/glide/glide.c: activated double buffering.
1453 * ./plugins/mga/xmga.c: started writing an xmga plugin; doesn't work yet.
1454 * ./src/input/input.c: fixed the input memory leak, and the insane thread
1455 spawning we got with vlc:loop.
1456 * ./src/misc/intf_eject.c: disc ejection routine courtesy of Julien Blache,
1457 currently Linux-only.
1458 * ./src/audio_output/aout_ext-dec.c: better communication between audio
1459 decoder and output: aout plugins are now opened directly in the right
1460 mode (works with mpeg_adec and ac3_adec, not tested with mad).
1461 * ./src/audio_output/audio_output.c: first attempt to implement mono output
1463 * ./plugins/dvdread/input_dvdread.c: DVDRead plugins works again more or
1464 less ; major bugs remain but it is usable. It is selected by default if
1465 you have it compiled.
1466 * ./plugins/mpeg_vdec/vpar_headers.c: fixed a bug in QuantMatrixExtension,
1467 many thanks to "Thomas L. Wood" <twood@lucent.com> !
1468 * ./debian/control: updated list of supported architectures.
1469 * ./share/*: added 16x16 and 32x32 versions of PNG icons.
1470 * ./plugins/mga/mga.c: removed the mgammx module and put the code in
1471 the chroma_i420_ymga module instead. This introduces a slight
1472 performance issue as we now need to memcpy() the Y plane, but I have
1473 some vout4 enhancements on their way which make this point moot.
1474 * ./debian/changelog: imported official Debian changelog.
1475 * ./debian/control: activated the vlc-mad and vlc-arts packages; package
1476 builds should now work again.
1477 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c: solved a symbol resolution issue when vlc was
1478 compiled without libdvdcss which overflowed the return stack.
1479 * ./plugins/ggi/ggi.c: ported the GGI plugin to vout4.
1480 * ./plugins/glide/glide.c: ported the Glide plugin to vout4 (untested).
1481 * ./src/input/input.c: prepared everything for multi-input mode; since
1482 no interface is yet prepared to handle this, I changed them so that
1483 they just use the first available input for now. This may break other
1484 things, but I promise I'll eventually repair everything :-)
1485 * ./plugins/mga/mga.c: pipeline and cache optimizations.
1486 * ./plugins/mga/mga.c: MMX-accelerated version of the MGA plugin.
1487 * ./plugins/mpeg_vdec/Makefile: little workaround for PA-Risc compilation.
1488 * ./plugins/mad/mad_libmad.c: optimized libmad_output() for smoother sound.
1489 It is still not optimal.
1490 * ./plugins/fb/fb.c: ported the framebuffer video output to vout4.
1491 * ./src/audio_output/aout_s16.c: fixed a segfault. It may have unexpected
1492 side effects because I don't know this part of the code, but at least
1493 it doesn't crash anymore.
1494 * ./plugins/beos/beos.cpp: first attempt at porting the BeOS plugin to the
1495 new video output and module systems. Doesn't work nor even compile yet.
1496 * ./configure.in: we now check the gtk-config version.
1497 * ./plugins/mga/mga.c: we use the MGA_VID_FSEL ioctl to select the
1498 frame to be displayed. Unfortunately, increasing the number of
1499 frames doesn't seem to work and makes the picture stutter...
1500 * ./Makefile: fixed a bug when no builtins were selected.
1501 * ./plugins/mga/mga.c: ported the MGA video output to vout4. Only does YV12
1502 for the moment, and there is a strange bug with some streams which gives
1503 only a green image. Needs to be looked at.
1504 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: fixed a few typos.
1505 * ./plugins/mad/DESIGN: updated documentation.
1506 * ./plugins/mad/TODO: updated TODO list.
1507 * ./plugins/mad/BUGS: updated documentation.
1508 * ./plugins/mad/mad_libmad.h: removed unused prototype from headerfile.
1509 * ./configure.in: fix for obscure architectures like hppa where target_os
1510 isn't properly detected.
1511 * ./include/video_output.h: got rid of pf_setpalette; I'll find a nicer way.
1512 * ./plugins/mga.c: fixed MGA module compilation. Doesn't work yet, though.
1513 * ./include/common.h: hton64 is now an inline function.
1514 * ./src/video_output/vout_pictures.c et al.: vout4 now automatically
1515 detects when two chroma formats are the same, such as UYVY/Y422, or
1516 roughly equivalent, such as I420/YV12. Plugins need not worry about
1518 * ./BUGS: added a list of known bugs. Please add your findings!
1519 * ./MODULES: added a short description of each module. Maybe we should
1520 add more details to make this file really useful.
1521 * ./doc/bugreport-howto.txt: wishful thinking...
1522 * ./Makefile: added a workaround for the fact that .c files don't depend
1523 on <videolan/vlc.h>.
1524 * ./plugins/memcpy/memcpy.c: all memcpy modules are now built from the same
1526 * ./src/interface/main.c: added the --nommx, --no3dnow, --nommxext, --nosse
1527 and --noaltivec options to vlc.
1528 * ./configure.in: removed the --disable-mmx option, now useless because
1529 of the vlc --no* options.
1530 * ./src/interface/main.c: fixed a crash caused by the memcpy module
1531 being released too early.
1532 * ./include/video.h: more vout4 changes, including margin support, more
1533 FOURCC formats recognized, transparent support of identical or almost
1534 identical FOURCC formats.
1535 * ./include/video_output.h: added a vout_Render function to video output
1536 modules which is to be executed before vout_Display.
1537 * ./include/common.h: this header is back.
1538 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_rgb.c: planar YUV 4:2:0 to packed RGB conversion
1539 functions, mostly taken from vout3's yuv functions, but heavily modified
1540 to use FAST_MEMCPY and to handle image dimensions which are not multiples
1541 of 16. Not all functions have been written yet, though.
1542 * ./plugins/chroma/i420_yuy2.c: planar YUV 4:2:0 to packed YUV conversion
1543 functions, various targets such as 4:2:2 YUYV, YVYU, UYVY, or 2:1:1 YUYV,
1544 with accelerated MMX versions.
1545 * ./plugins/chroma/i422_yuy2.c: same as i420_yuy2.c but takes planar YUV
1546 4:2:2 pictures in input. With accelerated MMX versions as well. This plugin
1547 makes it possible to display 4:2:2 files on most video cards without the
1548 quality loss of 4:2:0 downsampling.
1549 * ./plugins/filter/*: thanks to the vout_Render function, all filters now
1550 output their data perfectly in sync.
1551 * ./plugins/dvdread/Makefile: fix to prevent unnecessary target rebuilds.
1552 * ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c: support for YV12, UYVY, YUY2 and YVYU overlays.
1553 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: support for I420, YV12, YUY2 and Y211 overlays.
1554 * ./ChangeLog: imported the 0.2.92 changes, unrolled current CVS changes.
1555 * ./include/config.h et al.: this file is no longer generated.
1556 * ./include/video.h: we use the FOURCC definition of a chroma format to
1557 describe picture types (see http://www.webartz.com/fourcc/).
1558 * ./plugins/dvdread/input_dvdread.c: compilation fix by Eyal Lebedinsky.
1559 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: fixed the XShm operations order.
1560 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: small optimizations.
1561 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: removed unused code.
1562 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: your old window position and size are now restored
1563 when you come out of fullscreen mode.
1564 * ./plugins/esd/esd.c: fixed detection of the esd plugin.
1565 * ./plugins/mpeg_system/input_ts.c: fixed the ts plugin's input type
1567 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: fixed the BadCursor error in the x11 and xvideo
1568 plugins. For real this time (unlike my 2001/08/03 fix :p).
1569 * ./plugins/filter/wall.c: made the wall filter work a bit better. It now
1570 spawns a 3x2 mosaic, but this will eventually be configurable, Ã la
1571 `--filter wall:3x3'.
1572 * ./plugins/arts/arts.c: fixed the aRts audio output plugin.
1573 * ./configure.in: removed duplicate function checks.
1574 * ./Makefile.modules: added extra magic so that the module Makefiles are now
1575 ridiculously simple. And I mean *simple*. Check it! This will make a
1576 possible switch to full autoconf/automake a lot easier.
1577 * ./include/modules_inner.h: added the vlc version name to the plugin
1578 symbols, to be sure we only load plugins with the same version number. A
1579 nasty consequence is that you need to rebuild your tree after midnight if
1580 you are using a CVS tree :-)
1581 * ./include/modules_export.h: got rid of modules_export.h by #defining
1582 exported functions in the same header as their prototype.
1583 * ./include/videolan/vlc.h: added modules_inner.h and other commonly used .h
1584 files to common.h so there are less and less files to include, and renamed
1585 common.h to <videolan/vlc.h>.
1586 * ./src/misc/tests.c: first modifications to the module handling system
1587 towards my ultimate goal to get rid of the *_Probe functions. Got rid of
1588 TestMethod and TestCPU, as well as src/misc/tests.c.
1589 * ./plugins/chroma/yv12_rgb8.c, ./plugins/chroma/yv12_rgb16.c: wrote the
1590 chroma plugin handling functions. No YUV functions have been ported yet
1591 because it'ls a lot of work, but the core system works, I tried it with a
1592 naive yv12->rgb16 plugin (which will disappear when the real functions are
1594 * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_summary.c: made a lot of functions one-liners to avoid
1595 wasting too many output lines.
1596 * ./plugins/dvd/input_dvd.c: fixed a segfault in DVDInit.
1597 * ./plugins/gtk/fixfiles.sh: Added a fixfiles.sh script to be run after Glade
1598 has generated its C files.
1599 * ./plugins/kde/*: did some work on the KDE interface to make it suck a bit
1600 less. It still segfaults, but at least it runs and it looks less ugly.
1601 * ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c: RGB SDL rendering works again, though in 16bpp
1603 * ./plugins/vcd/linux_cdrom_tools.c: made this file independent of any vlc
1604 structure so that it'll be easily put in a library. Maybe libdvdcss?
1605 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: fixed VCD date display.
1606 * ./plugins/x11/*: merged vout_xvideo.c, vout_x11.c and vout_common.c into
1608 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: wrote non-Shm XVideo output.
1609 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: made X11 output work again. Still pretty unstable,
1610 only works for 16bpp.
1611 * ./po/fr.po: additional french translation. Any taker for the rest?
1612 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: fixed a segfault when the allocated
1613 pictures were not direct buffers.
1614 * ./share/*: replaced 48x48 .xpm images with 32x32 ones to conform to Debian
1615 policy (Closes Debian bug #126939).
1616 * ./Makefile: removed the automatic ./configure launch when running
1617 `make all' for the first time.
1618 * ./plugins/filter/distort.c: --filter distort:ripple (Ok, ok, I promise it's
1620 * ./configure.in: fixed compilation with dvdcss disabled.
1621 * ./configure.in: fixed compilation with plugins disabled.
1622 * ./plugins/dvd/input_dvd.c, ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: removed useless
1623 variables in the VCD and DVD plugins.
1624 * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: fixed a function which was returning
1625 "struct foo" in the VCD plugin.
1626 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: fixed the old « XVideo eats more and more CPU »
1627 bug I mistakenly reintroduced in my first vout4 commit.
1628 * ./src/misc/modules: we now stop at the first ':' when looking for a module
1629 name, to easily pass information to the modules. Possible example:
1630 --vout sdl:software, implementation of such an option is left as an
1632 * ./plugins/filter/filter.c: merged filter_bob and filter_bob422 into
1633 filter_bob. Use --filter bob to deinterlace 422 into 420 as well.
1634 * ALL: factorized code common to most filters and the video output, optimized
1635 a few filters by aligning data and reading 64 bits at a time.
1636 * ./plugins/filter/transform.c, ./plugins/filter/distort.c: two new
1637 absolutely useless, CPU-eating, resource-wasting, but fun filters: enjoy
1638 `transform', which performs flips and 90° rotations, and `distort', which
1639 performs animated image effects (currently only a naive sine wave is
1640 implemented). Usage examples: --filter transform:hflip,
1641 --filter transform:vflip, --filter transform:90, --filter transform:180,
1642 --filter transform:270, --filter distort:wave.
1643 * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: added missing XSync() in the XVideo plugin.
1644 * ./plugins/filter/deinterlace.c: pathetic attempt at a 4:2:2 renderer and
1645 deinterlacer, combining the most awful line dropping techniques of both BOB
1646 and 422 to 420 downscaling. Don't worry, it should only survive for a
1648 * ./plugins/filter/wall.c: new stupid plugin: "--filter wall" for split-image
1649 playback :-) (will evolve into a real image wall plugin when I have time)
1650 * ./plugins/filter/bob.c, ./plugins/filter/invert.c: filter plugins. Not very
1651 polished (please don't look at how the dates are calculated!), but worth a
1652 try. Use the following flags: "--filter invert" for inverse video,
1653 "--filter bob" for BOB deinterlacing
1654 * ./src/video_output/vout_pictures.c: buffer choice optimizations - vout4
1655 should eat even less CPU now.
1656 * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: fixed aspect ratio handling.
1657 * ./src/interface/main.c: additional fixes for OSes with no gettext (thanks
1659 * ./configure.in: don't try to use gettext if we don't have GNU gettext. This
1660 may change in the future though (most GNU software seems to include a local
1661 copy of gettext in case the operating system doesn't provide it).
1662 * ./debian/rules, ./debian/control: added vlc-arts to the debian package
1664 * ./po/ru.po: (very old) russian translation courtesy of Valek Filippov
1666 * ./po/fr.po: fixed a charset issue in the french translation.
1667 * ./config.guess, ./config.sub: updated these files from GNU's latest
1669 * ./po/vlc.pot: added vlc.pot skeleton for translators.
1670 * ./src/interface/intf_channels.c, ./include/keystrokes.h: removed unused
1672 * ./include/common.h: put common_win32.h back into common.h -- it wasn't that
1673 big and we should not multiply header files.
1674 * ./src/interface/main.c: added gettext support by Thomas Graf
1675 <reeler@reeler.org>, may be broken on other platforms but we'll only see
1676 it when I'm finished with vout 4 :-)
1677 * ./src/video_output/*: new video output version 4, featuring direct to YUV
1678 buffer decoding, non-ugly subtitle blending, XVideo and SDL video output.
1679 * ./plugins/spudec/*: renamed spu_dec to spudec and mad_adec to mad to stay
1680 coherent with other plugins. Also, renamed mpeg to mpeg_system.
1681 * ./AUTHORS: added jobi.
1682 * ./plugins/x11/vout_common.c: factored code common to vout_x11.c and
1686 Mon, 31 Dec 2001 19:50:40 +0100
1688 * Added a missing call to DecoderError() in mpeg_adec.c.
1689 * Fixed a segfault in the aRts plugin.
1690 * Fixed a bug in DecoderError.
1691 * Next Generation Buffer Manager.
1692 * All decoders enter DecoderError() in case of error, even if they
1693 haven't allocated all their data. This prevents the input from getting
1694 stuck if a decoder has failed its initialization.
1695 * Backported lool's fix for the Gtk+ playlist crash.
1696 * If $DISPLAY isn't set, don't try to run the Gtk+ interface.

1705 in its window title.
1706 * Added --with-dll-path option for my automated Win32 package builds.
1707 * Initialize SDL before opening the SDL audio output.
1708 * Prevent two SDL video outputs or audio outputs to be spawned at the
1709 same time to avoid ugly crashes.
1710 * TS input: bugfix in DecodePAT and minor optimizations elsewhere.
1711 * TS input: we now check that the contents of the PAT has changed
1712 before updating it, instead of just relying on its version number.
1713 * Disabled broken ALSA audio output. Closes Debian bugs #110869 and #119846.
1714 * Fixed build dependencies on libasound2-dev. Closes Debian bug #121057.
1715 * Changed configure.in so that libXv_pic is used instead of libXv.a when
1716 available. Closes Debian bug #111790.
1717 * CPU detection under BeOS.
1718 * Fixed XVideo port selection.

1726 * Fixed a potential BeOS linking issue.
1727 * Fixed a minor bug in input.c.
1728 * Fixed an issue in Makefile.dep causing to rebuild unnecessary files
1729 in the gtk/gnome plugins.

1739 * Workaround for a bug in the GLIBC dlopen() code.
1740 * Fixed win32 compilation.
1741 * New libmad plug-in, courtesy of Jean-Paul Saman. We now have sound on
1742 iPAQ Familiar Linux.
1743 * Borrowed MPlayer's fast memcpy() routines. Best is autodetected, choose
1744 "--memcpy <whatever>" to choose one from c, mmx, mmxext or 3dn.
1745 * Added versioned build-dep to libasound2-dev (Closes Debian bug #121057).
1746 * Updated Gtk/GNOME interfaces to use "udpstream" instead of "ts".
1747 * More checks for GTK headers.
1748 * Fixed a crash when pausing.

1752 * Hopeless fix for the input netlist corruption bug.
1753 * Implemented simple BDirectWindow (DMA) support.
1754 * DeleteDecoderConfig wasn't freeing (anymore) the packets left in the
1755 decoder fifo. This bug was creating an io_vec starving on title change
1757 * Removed a bug in the Makefile that made the CVS-snapshots building fail.
1758 * Added "#include <string.>" to include/threads.h.
1759 * Removed the mutex the vout and intf thread (were supposed to use)
1760 for syncronizing acces to the p_vout->p_sys structure.
1761 * Added error checking in pthread wrapper; as a result, intf_msg.h must
1762 now be included *before* threads.h.
1763 * Changed all files to include intf_msg.h before threads.h; while I was
1764 at it, I update the copyright notices.
1765 * Removed the obsolete darwin plug-in.
1766 * Fixed a deadlock (bug reported by marcari).

1775 from 12 to 13 (due to change from ts:// to udpstream://)
1776 * Big clean-up to allow compiling every module as plugins.
1777 * Added bytes_swap.h to provide ntoh() and htol() on Win32. With this
1778 change we don't have to link winsock2 with every plugin anymore. This
1779 should also give us a slight speed increase.
1780 * Added #define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN in threads.h to speed-up compilation
1782 * Modified ac_downmix_3dn and sse so they compile with the latest gcc for
1784 * Support for libdvdread.
1785 * Added "Video" menu hint to debian/*menu (Closes Debian bug #121036).
1786 * Major rewrite of the network layer. only supported syntax is:
1787 udp[stream]:[//][serveraddr:[serverport]][@[bindaddr][:bindport]]
1788 * Don`t use long long, use u64/s64 (int_types.h).
1789 * Fixed a stale pointer in mpeg_vdec_Run().
1790 * (Hopefully) fixed the network connect() bug under UNIX.
1791 * aRts audio output courtesy of Emmanuel Blindauer <manu@agat.net>.
1792 * Fix to the esd plugin when esd-config --cflags is nonempty.
1793 * --channels puts gtk/gnome in multi-channel network mode.
1794 * The network window of the interface reports the values of the environment
1796 * Channels mode excludes vls configuration.
1797 * The vlc does not try to bind vls.via.ecp.fr by default when you select
1799 * Fixed MacOS X 10.1 network input, thanks to Mathias Kretschmer
1800 <mathias@research.att.com>.

1806 * The ./configure script is more friendly for Win32 users.
1807 * Moved warning message to debug message in spdif pass-through plugin.

1809 * The default file-translation mode was not being set under win32.
1810 * Fixed heap corruption issues in ac3dec (thanks reno).
1811 * Fixed a crash when using `--input dvd /dev/dvd' instead of `dvd:/dev/dvd'.
1812 * configure should no longer assume AltiVec is supported when it actually
1813 isn't with buggy compilers and/or pre-set $CFLAGS.
1814 * Commited my little release-howto (only useful to core vlc developers).
1815 * Closing Debian bug #119369 which was fixed a while ago.
1816 * Decoder modularization.
1819 Mon, 12 Nov 2001 17:14:29 +0100

1823 * Documentation updates.
1824 * ipkg script for Familiar Linux 0.5 & bug fix in debian/rules.
1825 * Disabled DirectX audio output for the time being.
1826 * Added Oct's NSIS installer script. It will probably not work for you,
1827 but I need it to build the Win32 auto installer.
1828 * Automatic handling of the Channel Server's response in network mode.
1829 * GetMACAddress takes the interface defined in the environment variable
1830 vlc_iface instead of eth0.
1831 * Fixed bug with MPEG audio in TS streams.
1832 * Fixed compilation (and quite probably runtime) issues under IA64
1833 due to mixed int/void* casts.
1834 * Merged DVD netlist with input netlist to remove duplicated code.
1835 * BSD/OS VCD patch, courtesy of Steven M. Schultz <sms@TO.GD-ES.COM>.

1842 * Move function that translates language codes into country name in src/misc
1843 so that every plugin can use it.
1844 * Changed the name of a function in dvd_udf.c to fit with the forthcoming
1846 * Corrected à long time bug (around 0.2.81 I think), that created a
1847 corruption in ifo data. This was the reason why some DVDs that worked with
1848 0.2.80 no longer worked with newer version of vlc. They should work again
1850 * New --enable-release config option.
1851 * Removed deprecated code and structures.
1852 * Maybe corrected aspect ratio issue in fullscreen xvideo.
1853 * Fixed support for SPU and LPCM streams over network.
1854 * Added a new drawer to the control window to support Title / Chapter
1855 selection, Subtitle selection, Audiochannel/Language selection,
1857 * New --volume option (untested, like usual :).

1859 Intf_Controller::file:Open (OS X).
1860 * The intf is no longer accessed indirectly from vout_Destroy.
1861 * Made it possible to open a File after vlc was started (you can use vlc now
1862 without starting it from the command line) under OS X.
1863 * Cleaned up playlist handling in Intf_Vlc_Wrapper.
1864 * Modified the pf_close kludge in input.c so that we don't segfault when
1866 * Changed chapter selection buttons aspect to try and differentiate them
1867 from title selection ones.
1868 * Changes to the BeOS interface to remove unwanted volumes from the Disk
1869 Menu. Readonly filesystems like NTFS were being incorrectly added.
1870 * Do not resample audio output if delta is short enough.
1871 * Fixed a segfault on exit under Windows 2000.
1872 * Enabled http button in gtk/gnome interface.

1897 * Fixed an error in the ts://server[:port][/broadcast] input parsing.
1898 * Minor video parser optimization.
1899 * SDL now displays an error message on 422 streams.

1910 * MacOS X port : replaced -traditional-cpp (deprecated) with -no-cpp-precomp.
1911 * MacOS X port : native QuickTime video output, courtesy of Florian G.
1912 Pflug <fgp@phlo.org>. Use it with -I macosx_qt.

1927 * Enabled mouse clicks in the GGI plugin.
1928 * Fixed a warning in input_es.c.
1929 * Don't connect on INADDR_ANY, patch courtesy of Mathias Kretschmer
1930 <mathias@research.att.com>.

1932 * With -vvv modules now show up their scores.
1933 * HTTP input support.
1934 * Borrowed Mandrakesoft's vlc.spec and libdvdcss.spec.
1935 * New configure option --with-tuning=[arch], extending --enable-pentiumpro ;
1936 for Pentium, use --with-tuning=pentium, for PowerPC 604 use
1937 --with-tuning=604, and so on.
1938 * Dramatically improve compilation time, with a negligible performance

2006 implying - performance boost ; - fixed the "Dual Prime Arithmetic" bug ;
2007 - 3DNow! motion compensation module.
2008 * AC3dec statistics do not show up with --enable-stats, because I doubt

2011 * Fixed a packet leak in DemuxPSI.
2012 * Added gnome.h check and cleaned the error messages in the configure script.

2024 reported in lucky.openbsd.misc.
2025 * GNU/Hurd configuration and compilation fixes.
2026 * Fixed a crash in subtitle rendering.
2027 * Activated old crappy subtitle rendering in overlay mode (ugly but
2028 probably better than having no subtitles at all).
2029 * Added proper Conflicts: rules in debian/control.
2030 * configure.in fixes for BSD/OS.
2031 * Added vlc:loop playlist command to go back at the beginning.
2032 Usage: vlc file1.mpeg file2.mpeg ... fileN.mpeg vlc:loop
2033 * Fixed a bug in the gtk interface which caused vlc to go amok after

2050 patch is harmless on all systems.
2051 * Added a dummy libdvdcss so that the DVD plugin can be used without
2052 libdvdcss. It will try to dlopen() libdvdcss at runtime, though,
2053 and will use the dummy functions only if it couldn't find a valid
2054 libdvdcss. This is probably only useful to package maintainers.
2055 * Made the remote command plugin usable even with no stream.
2056 * Fixed a deadlock in the remote command plugin.
2057 * Fixed a deadlock in the SPU decoder.
2058 * Minor bug fix to aout_directx.c.

2067 * Fixed a segfault in PSEnd in input_ps.c.
2068 * The video decoder thread is now also reniced to a lower priority on
2069 Win32 (like in the Linux version). This slightly increases the
2070 responsiveness of vlc.
2071 * Modified input_dvd so you can now go directly to the selected chapter
2072 when you change the title.
2073 * Implemented the Probe function in the Xvideo plugin. Xvideo is now the

2098 * Now using gcc -pipe.
2099 * (Hopefully) fixed the #@!$ field pictures bug.
2100 * Fixed the MMX YUV plugin issues with gcc 2.96 and 3.0.
2101 * Updated TODO, cosmetic changes.
2102 * Now use sdl-config for SDL.
2103 * Fixed a stupid bug in buffer management with field pictures.

2133 to 44100-48000 Hz conversions.
2134 * The Win32 GetMessage function has been isolated in a thread. This has
2135 been done because this function can block the thread. Thanks to this

2153 * Additional error checking in vout_sdl.c.
2154 * Minor manpage fix, conforming to Debian policy version 3.5.5.0
2155 (Closes Debian bug #99561).
2156 * Portablility fix: We now control the name to be used in the assembler
2157 code for a C function or variable.
2158 * Reenabled all the accelerated modules on Win32.
2159 * Bugfix for chapters change in DVD.
2160 * A few bug fixes for the directx plugin.
2161 * Removed the custom usleep function for win32 as we don't really need
2162 this accuracy, and it was eating cpu resources.
2163 * Elementary Stream input plugin (use it with --input es). Only works with
2164 video streams at the moment.
2165 * Added command line option '--stdout <filename>' which redirects stdout
2166 and stderr to the specified file. This option should mainly be useful
2168 * On Win32, vlc now has an icon associated to the .exe file, and is a full

2182 * DirectX enhancements by Gildas Bazin, such as software rendering.
2183 * Another failed attempt at profiling vlc under Linux: ported the
2184 threads API to GNU Pth. Activate with --enable-pth. It doesn't seem to
2185 spawn new threads for me, maybe someone will have better luck.
2186 * Makefile optimizations.
2187 * Automatic build of libdvdcss if not found.
2188 * The DVD netlist no longer stops when the fifo is empty ; it just waits
2189 until there are free vectors again.
2190 * Exported the CSS part of the dvd plugin into a library. See
2191 ChangeLog.libdvdcss for a separate changelog.

2195 prevent a title from being unavailable because we're stuck at the end.
2196 * Fixed a bug with 1-chapter-long titles that displayed chapter 0.
2197 * Added a _temporary_ field in p_main to know whether the audio stream is
2198 AC3 (ugly). It allows a vlc launched in spdif mode to play mpeg or lpcm
2200 * Cleaned the title property messages to get rid of the ugly stars.
2201 * Added LPCM support. It should work with stereo LPCM.
2202 * Fixed a warning when compiling main.c.
2203 * Checked that OS supports SSE instructions on PIIIs (to avoid illegal
2204 hardware instructions on Linux 2.2.x).
2205 * Fixed a bug in synchro reinitialization: we no longer have a shift each
2206 time we restart the synchro (for SCR discontinuity for instance)
2207 * In DVD mode, we reinit the synchro only if the SCR are not continuous
2208 (instead of each cell).
2209 * Tried to improve AC3 spdif to prevent desynchronization.
2210 * Lots of DirectX plugin fixes by Gildas Bazin.
2211 * Compilation fix in message queue mode.

2256 * Ported most dvd_ioctl.c functions to the DVDioctl driver: ReportAgid,
2257 ReportChallenge, ReportKey1, ReportASF, InvalidateAgid, SendChallenge,
2258 SendKey2. They should comply with the "Mt. Fuji Commands for Multimedia

2442 * Fixed headers for FreeBSD compilation.
2443 * Fixed debian/rules for non-x86 packages (Closes: Debian bug #88583).
2444 * Deleted BBitmap[0] directly after overlay creation as no longer needed
2445 as overlay now owns Bits()
2446 * Fixed MPEG-1 mux_rate parsing.
2447 * Fixed MPEG-1 stuffing.
2448 * Don't create BBitmap drawing thread if using overlays
2449 * Changes to BeOS interface with file selection support

2466 * Qt interface: somebody pop up us the menu!!
2467 * Fixed Debian sparc build for real (Closes: Debian bug #89285).

2469 it and writing output and interface plugins...
2470 * Split audio output into several separate files to make it easier
2471 to debug. Removed a few redundancies as well.
2472 * Support for Darwin CoreAudio, courtesy of Colin Delacroix [MacOS X port] ;
2473 * Added warnings for ac3 mantissa (we still have problems with AC3 on
2475 * Renamed WriteResource to avoid a namespace clash with Darwin's

2493 * Makefile.in and configure.in fixes by Nilmoni Deb <ndeb@ece.cmu.edu>
2494 * A few syntax fixes in the plain X11 plugin
2495 * Various bug fixes in dvd_netlist. Some bugs seem to remain though.
2496 * New function input_ToggleES for interaction with interface.
2497 * Changes in gnome interface : navigation menus are now splited, there
2498 are radio item in menus and the code should be better.
2499 * First step for dvd_ifo rewritting. Now allocation/disallocation is
2500 being done as it has to be.
2501 * Fixed a bug in title management that make dvd like Seven work.
2502 * vout_beos now uses double buffering for YCbCr overlay.
2503 This (for some reason) improves audio/video sync

2506 dependent code in dvd_ioctl.c
2507 * Added almost fully-functional /dev/dvd driver for MacOS X in
2509 * Fall back to one-packet-once reading in dvd input since multi-block
2510 seems to have a bug that make the vlc crash on title/audio/spu change. I
2511 hope that this bug will be fixed soon for the performance is poorer now
2512 * Add-ons and changes in gnome interface:
2513 o menu subdivision is done only if there are over 20 items,
2514 o in DVD mode next/prev apply to title,
2515 o in DVD mode, added a box with button to navigate through chapters.
2516 * Additional enhancements to the OS X DVD ioctl module
2517 * Big cleaning of the BeOS DVD ioctl code, got rid of all Linuxisms
2518 * Compilation fixes for the BeOS DVD ioctls
2519 * XVideo plugin enhancements by Shane Harper <shanegh@optusnet.com.au>
2520 * Added the GNU getopt library, which gets compiled in when getopt_long
2521 isn't available on the desired platform.
2522 * Replaced the `--warning' flag with the standard cumulative `-v' flag.
2523 `-v' is like `--warning 3', and `-vvvv' is like `--warning 0'
2524 (`--warning' is still valid for those used to it)
2525 * Cleaning in configure.in and Makefile.in, the Solaris port now
2526 builds and runs properly.
2527 * Code cleanup: removed a few tabulations.
2528 * Fixed inline asm routines to remove all read/write operands.
2529 * Added <string.h> to most files to prevent warnings under FreeBSD.

2542 Mon, 5 Mar 2001 00:41:16 +0100
2544 * Got rid of the CONTRIBUTORS list, and switched AUTHORS to a
2545 linux-kernel like author list.
2546 * Updated TODO list.
2547 * Fixed a segfault in the BeOS interface when --noaudio was specified.
2548 * Title and Chapter selection in the Gnome and Gtk+ interfaces.
2549 * Fixed a bug in audio selection
2550 * Tried to fix an issue in size computing.
2551 * Commited BeOS changes by Richard Shepherd and Tony Castley.
2552 * Added boolean_t b_YCbr to vout_thread_s structure to flag YUV-YCbCr
2553 decoding needed instead of YUV-RGB
2554 * Will be removed later when video_output.c rewritten
2555 * vout_CreateThread() initialises b_YCbr to zero
2556 * New BeOS video plugin that supports hardware overlays and new
2557 MediaPlayer compatible interface
2558 * Added YUV-YCbCr transforms
2559 * Fixed bugs in title/chapter handling once more, especially for size
2560 detection and location of main movie.
2561 * Support for multitrack DVD : now the stream is given to input as it has
2562 to be ; however, all the tracks are displayed one after the other ; I
2563 think we need to decode navigation ES to choose the track
2564 * Fixed behaviour at end of device.
2565 * Added DVD/VCD button and menu for quick DVD device selection to the
2566 Gnome and Gtk+ interfaces, so that vlc can play a DVD even when
2567 launched from a GUI.
2568 * Added debian/* files to help generating CSS-enabled non-US packages,
2569 and changed plugins/dvd/* to reflect this change.
2570 * Added .xpm icons (fixes lintian warnings).
2571 * --help output and manpage are now in sync (Closes Debian bug #87478).
2572 * Fixed Build-dpends entry in debian/control (Closes Debian bug #83707).
2573 * Completely changed title and chapter initialization. Now we have real
2575 * Fixed size for a majority of DVD.
2576 * More consistency in the p_input->stream management.
2577 * Made input_SelectES() and input_UnselectES() not block the input thread
2579 * Changed debian/control to fix Debian bug #83707
2580 * Added a --disable-css configure option
2581 * Moved some code here and there in the DVD plugin to make it easier
2582 for me to build the Debian CSS-free packages.
2583 * Fixed miscellaneous alignment problems (alpha/sparc ports) ;
2584 * Added a fps display when toggling 'i' ;
2585 * Fixed a bug in the video parser where one picture buffer was not
2586 released at quit time ;
2587 * Broke the mux_rate calculation, but hey guys ! it was already broken and
2589 * New function for DVD reading, that is able to read multiple blocks
2590 (I've chosen 32 now), that doesn't use any memcpy anymore and is also much
2591 faster. It is ready now for cell positioning in multi-angle DVD (to come
2593 * DVD specific netlist adapted to 2048 bytes long blocks that contain
2594 several data_packets.
2595 * Modification in mpeg_system.c to use p_payload_start instead of
2596 p_buffer (necessary for DVD plugin). It does not break other plugins
2597 since they set p_payload_start to p_buffer
2598 * New field i_read_once in input_thread_s to be able to read more than
2599 the TS related 7 packets ; i_read_once is set to INPUT_READ_ONCE by
2600 defaults but plugins can change it during initialisation.
2601 * Bug fix with frequential downmix
2602 * Additional optimizations to the subtitle decoder
2603 * The GGI video output should now be faster. Also, right-mouse-clicking
2604 works in GGI mode as well.
2605 * Optimizations done to the SPU decoder. Now the RLE is expanded at
2606 decoding time, not rendering time. The main loop in vout_RenderSPU
2607 is now 20 lines long.
2608 * The Gtk+ interface is now built as a Debian package as well. The Gnome
2609 package depends on it because of the icon and menu entry.
2610 * Added an intf_WarnHexDump() function to do raw hexadecimal dumps of
2611 memory areas. For debugging purposes or for real men, as you wish.
2612 * Lots of tidying in dvd_ioctl.c, a few comments added.
2613 * Better error handling in the subpicture decoder.
2614 * Tidied video_spu.c. More to come later.
2615 * Fixed subtitle displaying. Will soon work in overlay mode as well.
2616 * Disabled slice-level resynchro since it's probably buggy.
2617 * Fixed a structural major bug in the macroblock structure management.
2618 * Added debug messages.
2619 * Fixed a compile problem in debug mode.
2620 * Added functions and hooks to display dates instead of off_t.
2621 * Added a 'd' keystroke to dump the stream contents (for debugging
2623 * New ES detection based on .ifo for DVD module. It might fail (I have
2624 found one DVD for which ifo seems false).
2625 * Title and chapter selection on the command line (see -t and -T options)
2626 It will allow to watch some DVD that went through menus by default.
2627 * Beginning of menus in gnome interface.
2628 * Fix bug in ac3dec for mono streams
2629 * BeOS: new video output method, the vlc now uses BBitmap instead of
2630 BDirectWindow (better performances)
2631 * BeOS: added resizing
2632 * BeOS: added beta support for overlay
2633 * Added a plain Gtk+ port of the Gnome interface, for the gnome-impaired
2634 people. Gtk+ is now compiled by default, while Gnome isn't (you will
2635 have to add --enable-gnome when running configure)
2636 * Replaced -lcurses with -lncurses in configure.in.
2637 * Added DemuxPSI, DecodePAT and DecodePMT. Never tested which streams
2638 where PAT or PMT are splitted in more than one section.
2641 Fri, 2 Mar 2001 17:32:24 +0100
2643 * DVD plugin is still non-functional when you don't have DVD ioctls,
2644 but at least it compiles under BeOS as well.
2645 * Minor cosmetic changes here and there.
2646 * Added the BeOS code for vlc_mutex_destroy() and vlc_cond_destroy()
2647 * Minor optimizations in the video decoder.
2648 * Move ac3 globals variables into structures
2649 * Fixed a bash-ism in configure.in
2650 * Fixed a segfault in input.c when no input plugin was found for
2652 * Fixed a deadlock in the Gnome interface. Next time I'll initialize
2653 my mutexes, I promise.
2654 * Added Oct to the authors list in intf_gnome.glade :)
2655 * Second step in area management ; everything is in place now to have
2656 title handling; it is coming :)
2657 * Ported Glide and MGA plugins to the new module API. MGA never worked,
2658 so this didn't make it work better.
2659 * Started thinking about built-in modules, and added some code to
2660 make it easier eventually.
2661 * Added Oct in the AUTHORS file.
2662 * Fixed a mistake in configure.in.
2663 * All your base are belong to us.
2664 * Fixed a bug in src/misc/modules which prevented loading modules
2665 when launched from the Tracker.
2666 * Fixed a similar bug in src/video_output/video_text.c.
2667 * BeOS CSS support, thanks to Markus Kuespert <ltlBeBoy@beosmail.com>
2668 who ported the Linux DVD ioctls. We can now read encrypted DVDs
2669 under BeOS ! Woohoo.
2670 * First serie of changes in DVD module for the forthcoming interface menus.
2671 There is a new capability in input type modules for setting the
2672 attributes of a new area. It is set to NULL for PS and TS plugins.
2673 It should be called for every title change, chapter change,
2674 audio mode change or spu channel change.
2675 * Kludge of the kludge, removing an oddity in YUV initialisation, and
2676 activating YUV overlay on startup whenever hardware acceleration is
2677 available. Thanks for bearing with us, stay tuned.
2679 * Changed video decoder's error messages into warnings.
2681 * Drag and drop support under BeOS.
2682 * Change in the code to detect beginning of movie. It is much better now
2683 but still fails with some DVD for which the movie is not the first
2685 * Beginning of ideas to handle chapters and ES selection
2686 * configure.in and Makefile.in patches for better SDL support and
2687 support for $(bindir) $(datadir) and $(libdir) stuff, courtesy
2688 of Arkadiusz Miskiewicz <misiek@pld.ORG.PL>
2689 * Ported ggi.so to the new modules API. As for the other modules, only
2690 the "q" key works. Moreover, VLC doesn't exit cleanly if you close the
2692 * Deactivated non-working widgets in the Gnome interface.
2693 * Added CONTRIBUTORS file.
2694 * Ported the framebuffer plugin to the new module API. As for most of the
2695 other video output modules, keyboard doesn't work. Except ^C to quit.
2696 * UDF filesystem support so that we know the location of the first video
2697 related file with 100% reliability (great change that should make DVDs
2698 with binaries and extra stuff work with vlc).
2699 * Correction of a bug in ifo reading that falsified the adress of
2701 * Changed the method for selecting title at start. It is _not_ reliable
2702 though, but it is better than the preceding one.
2703 * Tried to fix the BeOS interface and video output. Any BeOS developers
2704 listening ? I can't even test that code, it probably wants additional
2706 * Added a workaround in modules.c for broken libc's which happen to truncate
2707 filenames in dentry structures when using 64bits offsets. The kind of
2708 stuff you only see in RedHats <g>.
2709 * Made the SDL error messages a bit more useful.
2710 * The Gnome menu is now created when mouse is released, not when it
2711 is pressed. It may sound stupid, but it really makes a difference.
2714 Fri, 16 Feb 2001 08:09:59 +0100
2716 * Fixed package building (both RPMs and .debs).
2717 * Fixed `make snapshot' rule.
2718 * Added some magic to filename detection. To read a DVD you now just
2719 need to run 'vlc dvd:/dev/hdc' for instance. Same for file:// URIs.
2720 * Fixed a segfault in the slider when no stream was playing.
2721 * Made the slider go from 0 to 100 (instead of 99 :)
2722 * The vlc now doesn't exit when finished playing. As a side effect of
2723 the playlist code being very recent, it continuously loops.
2724 * Fixed a segfault in the input thread creation, as well as a possible
2725 deadlock. This happened mostly when opening non-existing files.
2726 * Created input_SetStatus to do input_SetRate's job. input_SetRate will
2727 be used to set an arbitrary rate, for people who want to read DVDs at
2728 1/2.71828 times the actual speed.
2729 * Stubs for the ncurses control interface. No working code yet, but the
2730 holes just need to be filled.
2731 * Improved X11 support. Still not as functional as before.
2732 * The output window now states the method name, so that people know whether
2733 they are using X11 or SDL.
2734 * The Gnome interface is now drag'n'drop aware, you can drop a file
2735 on it just like Xine does (or so I guess).
2736 * New more recent css authentication code.
2737 * Beginning of udf support (not in Makefile)
2738 * Removed useless includes in intf_gnome.c
2739 * Made the vout_sdl.c functions static
2740 * Ported vout_x11.c to the modules API; code isn't very nice yet though
2741 * X11 output works again. It's just the output, but it works; I now need
2742 to clean the code and add event handling.
2743 * Should have fixed the dependency generater for some plugins.
2746 Wed, 14 Feb 2001 08:33:46 +0100
2748 * Started porting the X11 vout (still disabled)
2749 * A few unnoticeable changes in the Gnome intf
2750 * Changes in the way stream size in DVD mode is calculated. It is no
2751 longer such an ugly kludge and is much more accurate.
2752 * Changes in DVDSeek so that the interface slider is in 0 when we are at
2753 the beginning of the strem.
2754 * Try to detect the beginning of the movie in the middle of the title. It
2755 works for most of the DVDs but will begin in the middle of the movie
2757 * Calculate only the first title key in css mode because it might take a
2758 long time with some title. The search stops now when we have a key once
2759 whereas it did stop only when we had it twice before. It should not
2761 * Really fixed MC segfault bug.
2762 * Adaptation of DVD module to navigation slider. The seek has to be
2763 done on a multiple of 2048, and shopuld take care of the offset to the
2764 beginning of the stream. It works with most of my DVDs by fails to
2765 detect size of some streams.
2766 * Change of the order of call to ifo and css functions in input_dvd.c,
2767 because we can't read ifo files before authentification on some DVDs.
2768 * Changed location of some css tables.
2769 * We read ifo date and decrypt css keys for all titles now. It takes quite a
2770 long time to initialize with some DVDs (if you have 42 titles for
2771 instance). The key decryption might give a false value if the title is
2772 less than 10 Mb ; I'm working on that :)
2773 * Quick patch to avoid a segfault when arbitrarily seeking the stream.
2774 * Added --intf option to vlc
2775 * Started cleaning vout_sdl.c
2776 * The dummy plugin works again
2777 * Added a slider to the Gnome interface so that we can browse through streams
2778 * Removed enhancement because of an incompatibility with slow motion.
2779 * We can now seek at position 0 :p ;
2780 * Tried to enhance picture dating on timebase discontinuities.
2782 * Much cleaning in css code. It should work fine now.
2783 * Fixed my old stupid bug that disabled sound after having played the
2784 first playlist item.
2785 * Added `Prev' and `Next' buttons to the interface, with the beginning of
2786 a playlist window (still empty).
2787 * Added `Slow' and `Fast' buttons to the interface and popup menu.
2788 * Removed tests against i_rate and i_new_rate calculation from the
2789 plugins and hid this complexity into input_ext-intf.c
2790 * The pure Gnome part of the Gnome interface has been rewritten from
2791 scratch, and the .glade file included as well. You can edit it by
2792 installing glade-gnome and doing `glade plugins/gnome/intf_gnome.glade',
2793 or directly by hand if you grok XML.
2794 * Files can now be loaded into vlc using the `Open' buttons. But for the
2795 moment you still have to launch vlc with at least one file, because it
2796 quits when the end of the playlist is reached.
2797 * Idle screen was disabled because it eats a lot of CPU and is mostly
2798 useless for the moment. And it gets activated when pause lasts for too
2800 * Plugins have completely disappeared, we now only use the new module API.
2801 * All intf and vout modules are now independant. So far, only the Gnome
2802 intf module and the SDL vout module have been ported. configure.in has
2803 been modified to reflect the changes (x11 and dummy aren't compiled by
2804 default anymore, while SDL and Gnome are).
2805 * Right-clicking on the SDL video output window brings the Gnome menu.
2806 * Pause, Play, Exit, About work from the menu or from the interface window.
2807 * The old SDL keys still work.
2808 * Fixed a bug in #define that prevented from using ioctls
2809 * Some functions to prepare ifo commands utilisation to move in the
2811 * Change in configure to avoid compiling css functions on BSD.
2812 * Added comments to src/interface/intf_plst.c and include/intf_plst.h
2813 so that people understand how the playlist works.
2814 * Updated the TODO list (34 items to do, 41 done !)
2815 * Portability : changed off64_t to off_t and activated appropriate
2817 * Changed fseek() to fseeko() for 64-bit offsets ;
2818 * Reset frame predictors on a stream discontinuity.
2819 * Implemented basic stream navigation function, and bound Jump forward
2820 and jump Backward in the SDL intf. Enjoy !
2821 * Pause function implemented ('p' key).
2822 * Fixed a compile probleme on machine without a dvd player :ppppp
2823 * Fixed two bugs in ifo and css that caused memory corruption and
2824 segfault when using sdl in dvd mode.
2825 * Moved the playlist handling from input/input.c to interface/interface.c
2826 * Fixed a few warnings at compile-time.
2827 * Fixed sound channel selection in playlist mode.
2828 * Added a color message in the plugin bank because on peut bien déconner
2829 cinq minutes, quand-même.
2830 * We now spawn a new input thread for each file.
2831 * Added a missing pf_close() because it's always cool to close files
2833 * Solved bug with cssdescrambling. The vlc might segfault with dvd
2834 plugins. I will fix that soon.
2835 * Minor modification in pluginification.
2836 * Playlist works again (still the old wrong way like Meuuh doesn't
2837 like, but this is going to change within a few hours)
2838 * Input_ps, input_ts and input_dvd are now plugins, located in
2839 plugins/mpeg/ and plugins/dvd/
2840 * Fast/slow keys are now A/Z instead of A/S since S was already
2841 linked to the scale/noscale toggle.
2842 * `--dvd' doesn't work anymore, for the moment try to use :
2843 vlc --input dvd /dev/dvd
2844 * Module bank is now less verbose ; use `--warn 1' to turn back
2846 * New method using netlist to read packets on DVD device by sectors of
2848 * Some modifications in netlist to make it work with DVD.
2849 * Fixed à bug in mpeg_system.c
2850 * We can now choose the speed of forward (between 32/1 and 1/8)
2851 * Functional fast forward and slow motion API ;
2852 * Dirty hack in the SDL intf to bind "a" (fAst forward), "s" (Slow motion)
2854 * Centralized clock management, preparing for stream navigation ;
2855 * Fixed a bug in the management of the first video PTS.
2856 * Fixed a bug in period calculation for progressive sequences.
2857 * Fixed a FIXME in SDL: p_vout->p_sys is no more used in intf_sdl.c
2858 * Used instead p_vout->i_changes like in x11
2859 * Disabled SDL parachute to let the vlc dump a core instead of staying stuck
2860 * Patched 2 debian bugs
2861 (see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=vlc)
2862 * Improved the snapshot generation
2863 * Mouse pointer hidden/shown with middle button in SDL output
2864 * Removed obsolete video_yuv_mmx.S
2865 * Updated the TODO list and wrote a small todo.pl parser to make it
2866 easier to see which items remain to be done
2867 * `make snapshot' now creates vlc-*.tar.gz and vlc-*-nocss.tar.gz
2870 Wed, 31 Jan 2001 04:30:37 +0100
2872 * Version 0.2.50 for the Linux Expo
2873 * --overlay and --fulscreen options (only work with --vout sdl)
2874 * The vlc exits after the end of the stream, which prevents from having
2875 to kill it and relaunch it during a presentation.
2876 * Not a very nice hack, but will probably spare us a few user complaints: if
2877 no -a option is specified, the vlc will play the first audio type it finds,
2878 so there is no need to specify "-a ac3" for a DVD anymore.
2879 * CSS support kludged for current DVD input.
2880 It is very slow now but will be more adapted to the forthcoming DVD
2882 It should read the first title of many DVDs but has been tested with few.
2883 * Beginning of ifo commands to implement DVD navigation.
2884 * Fix for field pictures.
2885 * Hooks for fast forward and slow motion support.
2886 * Fixed backwards moves.
2887 * Tuned up optimizations.
2888 * Completely removed BIZARRE_OPTIMS.
2889 * Check for the needed headers for DVD ioctls
2890 * Some cleaning in the dvd authentification code
2891 * Various miscellaneous minor optimizations of the video parser.
2892 * Beginning of support for encrypted DVDs.
2893 * It only tests encryption and authenticates disc.
2894 * Really fixed GetChunk now.
2895 * 32-bit aligned bitstream (not that fast).
2896 * The motion compensation routines are now modules as well ; choose your
2897 implementation with `--motion motion', `--motion motionmmx' or
2898 `--motion motionmmxext'. Of course, the best implementation is chosen
2899 if you don't ask for any. There doesn't seem to be any performance hit
2900 due to the move to shared libs, which is a good thing. Please test
2901 actively if you have time, though.
2902 * Updated --help result, manpage, INSTALL document, and a few files.
2903 * Borrowed LiViD's MMX and MMX EXT IDCT. This might break things. Expect
2904 a performance increase.
2905 * Removed a few useless malloc() and unused variables in the audio SDL stuff
2906 * Prepared the work for built-in modules (not yet finished)
2907 * Small tweak in the copy handling, reduce CPU usage.
2908 * --aout sdl now works
2909 * Added SDL sound support. Sounds a bit laggy sometimes but my streams
2910 are ill. please try.
2911 * Modified configure.in and all that stuff. Re-run configure
2912 * SDL audio, video and interface are all part of the same .so now.
2913 * Removed YUV old files :->
2914 * Reverted something that wasn't supposed to go into the cvs :p
2915 * Removed -fargument-noalias-global which causes problems with as (???).
2916 * Borrowed livid's latest libmmx and MMXEXT MC. Not in the Makefile => to
2917 test it, replace vdec_motion_inner_mmx.c by vdec_motion_inner_mmxext.c.
2918 * A few changes in the CPU extensions detection code, borrowed from the
2919 kernel and from mpeg2dec. I still don't know how to detect if code
2920 compiled with -mcpu=pentiumpro will run, since the cpuid arcanes are
2921 quite obtuse to me. Perhaps we should also have a way not to load modules
2922 if they have been compiled with a different CPU to avoid segfaults.
2923 * Add check for MMX EXT extensions, which doesn't work, which is a good
2924 thing since there is no MMX EXT IDCT yet :)
2925 * Change for the forthcoming fast forward and slow motion support.
2926 * Fixed the --aout, --idct and --yuv flags
2927 * Updated manpage and --(long)help output to reflect that change
2928 * Removed a few unneeded #includes here and there
2929 * Cosmetic changes in error messages in input.c
2930 * Now use of 64 bits offsets to parse the whole DVD. So we have all the
2931 available information
2932 * Fixed a bug in parsing of VTS attributes
2933 * Fixed a bug in input.c that made input plugin initialize even though
2934 no stream is reachable (thanks Sam)
2935 * Merged the YUV plugins in the same directory to avoid too much code
2937 * YUV transformations now use the new module API ; now only the vout
2938 and interface still depend on the old plugin API
2939 * Changed TestMMX to TestCPU because we will be able to test for other
2940 specific extensions (3DNow, SSE) for the forthcoming IDCT we'll
2941 borrow to mpeg2dec (as usual :P)
2942 * Don't show "hiding module" messages anymore except in debug mode
2943 * Swapped C IDCT and Classic IDCT scores since the classic one seems
2944 to be faster ; anyway you should use the MMX one
2945 * Fixed a Makefile bug under BeOS
2946 * Tried to fix the cpuid code so that it compiles under BeOS (Polux, can
2947 you test it when you have time ?)
2948 * Fixed a bug in the frame rate handling ;
2949 * Fixed a bug in the DTS/PTS ordering. Our pts are _at last_ accurate.
2950 * Finally fixed repeat_first_field and co. (pas encore tout compris...)
2951 * Implemented video_parser bitstream callback for PTS/DTS.
2952 * Fixed close button support in SDL
2953 * Fixed --width and --height support in SDL
2954 * Fixed the bug-that-made-the-vlc-segfault-on-exit, which means that
2955 more than ever, « le client ne segfaulte pas ».
2956 * There was still a problem upon quitting: sometimes the null packet
2957 wasn't big enough to reach a decoder breakpoint, so I now create 10
2958 of them (since I can't make it bigger) to be sure. Meuuh, what do
2960 * Fixed the Makefile to spare a few variables here and there.
2961 * Reduced module hide delay, removed loading of the audio output
2962 plugins since they are now modules.
2963 * Changed a few intf_Msg to intf_DbgMsg, and added "vout:", "intf:",
2964 and so on in a few other messages.
2965 * Removed unused includes in the idct modules.
2966 * Correction of bugs in ifo parsing. Now the structures should be well
2967 initialized. It remains some segfaults but it globally works.
2968 * DVD mode is enabled with option --dvd. For the moment, it only read
2969 the first vts and find the movie if it is at the beginning of the title
2971 * Beginning of dvd_input. Parsing of ifo file almost completed.
2972 * The IDCT functions are now located in modules : the classic IDCT,
2973 our optimized IDCT, and MMX IDCT.
2974 * Cosmetic changes for modules (pf_* instead of p_*)
2975 * Fixes to the BeOS and dummy modules
2976 * Changed default values :
2977 INPUT_PTS_DELAY down to 200 ms ;
2978 video heap down from 10 to 5 pictures ;
2979 decoder fifo size from 1023 to 511 PES ;
2980 * Fixed various bugs in 32 bit-versions of input_ext-dec.h ;
2981 * Fixed a bug in GetChunk() ;
2982 * Renamed GetByte, GetWord, ShowWord to _GetByte, _GetWord, _ShowWord ;
2983 * Moved decoder_fifo-specific code from programs.c to dec.c ;
2984 * Fixed bugs in program.c that prevented vlc to close all decoders ;
2985 * Gave sam a lesson for the use of the bitstream in spu_decoder.c :ppp ;
2986 * Made the video parser unlock the reference pictures before quitting
2987 (still one left, yaknow why ?)
2988 * Destroy fifo mutex and cond variables _after_ they are used for
2989 the last time. henri, that'll be one binouze.
2990 * Attempt to port the BeOS audio plugin to the new module API. Will
2991 probably need a few fixes to work or even compile.
2992 * Ported the alsa plugin to the news vlc module API
2993 * Fixed 32 bits bitstream bugs.
2994 * Moved the MPEG audio decoder to the new bitstream
2995 * Cleaning in the SPU decoder.
2996 * Moved swab32 from input_ext-dec.h to common.h. We probably won't need
2997 it anymore really soon, since ntohl() and htonl() seem to be properly
2998 optimized when gcc is passed the right optimization flags.
2999 * Fixed GetBits32 and RemoveBits32. I know the #ifdefs are useless since
3000 we only support u32 words, but it's a safe reminder. Comments appreciated
3001 on this fix since I may have b0rked something -- it runs well here though.
3002 * Changed code for handling b_die in bitstream ;
3003 * Moved input_ext-dec.h to input.h ;
3004 * New input_NullPacket function ;
3005 * Fixed init bugs in input and vpar ;
3006 * Placed a callback to the decoder in the bitstream structure ;
3007 * Fixed a purify bug in input_ps.c ;
3008 * Added -mcpu=pentiumpro in the Makefile.
3009 * Complete commenting of modules_core.h and small modifications
3010 * Separated MODULE_CONFIG_START and ADD_WINDOW (Henri, beware)
3011 * Fixed a very, very old bug that caused namespace collision between
3012 plugins (Henri, beware: call your aout_getplugin function like this,
3013 not alsa_aout_getplugin)
3014 * Removed the Debian specific clean rules from the Makefile, since they
3015 are already handled by the debian/rules script.
3016 * Tidied a few compilation rules (-lfoo should always be at the end)
3017 * Added 8bits palette SDL support.
3018 * Fixed a warning under FreeBSD (dlerror() is a const char*, not a char*).
3019 * Made configure script look for the bswap assembly instruction (using
3020 AC_TRY_COMPILE makes sure the compiler will really accept it).
3021 * Fixed colors' bug (TODO: write a function in vout that recalculate colors
3023 * Cleaning of the fullscreen switch, still sucks but the surface is not
3024 reallocated and that's good (thanks to the magic function
3025 SDL_WM_ToggleFullScreen provided by sdl library :).
3026 * Added a missing mutex_unlock in video_output.c
3027 * Moved a mutex_destroy after the thread cancellation to prevent
3029 * Added a missing #ifdef in intf_msg.c which prevented compilation
3031 * Fixed a bug in the input that prevented to quit properly in certain
3032 cases (some ES were not deleted because their index was skipped when
3033 the former one was deleted, well Meuuh should know what I mean)
3034 * Cleaning of SDL Lock/Unlock Surface.
3035 * All plugins now compile with -fPIC.
3036 * Made the audio_output API a bit simpler.
3037 * Got rid of modules_config.h.
3038 * Fixed `make install' rule.
3039 * Fixed warnings in the MMX YUV compilation.
3040 * Probably fixed a bug in the input : pp_foo structures were free()d at
3041 the end, but this was useless since the last call to realloc() is
3042 equivalent to free(), and two consecutive calls to free() aren't a
3044 * We check that the version number match and that we don't already have
3045 a module by that name when loading a new module.
3046 * All public module_* functions now properly lock the module bank.
3047 * The audio_output now uses the new module API ; EsounD and DSP modules
3048 have been ported, which should be enough for Henri to port the ALSA one.
3049 * Added vlc_mutex_destroy and vlc_cond_destroy function, for pthreads.
3050 Used them before quitting, every lock and cond is destroyed
3051 * Checked the return value of malloc and realloc in input_programs
3052 * Fixed compilation pb under solaris 2.6
3053 * Should compile & run on Solaris with ./configure --disable-dsp
3055 * Removed most SYS_SOLARIS #ifdef's in favour of more generic tests
3056 * Updated example ./configure line in INSTALL file
3057 * Now we only load modules that end with ".so"
3058 * null module is compiled by default
3059 * Fixed initialization of payload_start and payload_end
3060 * --enable-sdl and some others are now --with-sdl[=name] to supply an
3061 optional library name ;
3062 * Deleted all unnecessary #include <sys/uio.h> ;
3063 * /usr/include is now searched when looking for libraries and headers.
3064 * src/misc/modules.c is in a workable state now.
3065 * Splitted modules.h into modules.h and modules_core.h to enable
3066 clean compilation of the Null Module.
3067 * Added the Null Module, the module that does nothing but that is going
3068 to be of great help for debugging my module code.
3069 * Plugins are now called modules, because we will be able to compile
3070 them either as a dynamic plugin, or within the program. And, more
3071 important, I can commit this without having to break the vlc :)
3073 * video_output.c : compute picture size even if b_need_render == 0;
3074 * Fixed a deadlock (the vout unlocked a mutex locked by another thread,
3075 grrrr, I'll kill someone) ;
3076 * Put config.h in front of others in audio_decoder.c.
3077 * Better display of the fps.
3078 * Removed i_iovec_start and i_iovec_end. Used i_data instead
3079 * Fixed THX Cimmarron bug (it was _not_ a synchro bug).
3080 * Fixed a bug in the DTS/PTS parsing ;
3081 * Fixed a bug in vpar_headers.c synchro handling introduced before ;
3082 * Enhanced synchro's handling of dates and frame structure changes.
3083 * Fixed a bug in the PSM decoder.
3084 * We now read the DTS (but we don't use it for the moment).
3085 NB : b_has_pts has disappeared for brevity reasons, use i_pts != 0 instead.
3086 * New synchro statistics and warnings.
3087 * Avoid calling SafeRead() with a null packet size.
3088 * Use of ptrdiff_t whenever necessary (IA-64 port) ;
3089 * Changed behaviour of preparsing code, faster startup ;
3090 * Fixed DecodePSM(), cannot test ;
3091 * Cleaned up ParsePES(), fixed a bug which could reject very small but
3093 * Fixed cosmetic bugs in vpar_synchro frame_rate display.
3094 * Changed subtitles palette.
3095 * SPU decoder now uses Meuuh's GetChunk() code.
3096 * Lots of cleaning in the SPU decoder.
3097 * Message queue is flushed before we spawn input.
3098 * Fixed so that it compiles with VDEC_SMP (no good sync yet though).
3099 * Using i_id instead of i_stream_id whenever possible ;
3100 * Fixed a bug in -c and -s options.
3101 * Fixed a compile pbm in debug mode (f34r d4 1-line fix)
3102 * Fixed AC3 and SPU PES reading (ph34r da one-byte patch)
3103 * Some 79 char wrap.
3104 * No need to add "\n" at the end of intf_*Msg() messages anymore.
3105 * Moved input_DecodePES() to input_dec.c ;
3106 * Fixed an segfault in input_programs.c ;
3107 * Added -fomit-frame-pointer optimization.
3108 * Fixed a *major* memory leak in the pre-parsing code. Hopefully it should
3110 * New decoder spawning API input_dec.c ;
3111 * Moved p_input->pp_es -> p_input->stream.pp_es and clean up of
3112 input_programs.c & co ;
3113 * Fixed memory leaks.
3114 * Moved video_decoder's headers from include/ to src/video_decoder.
3115 * Temporarily removed b&w kludge.
3116 * Splitted up p_method_data/p_plugin_data ;
3117 * Cleaned up input_ts.c, added it into the Makefile.
3118 * Fixed various memory leaks.
3119 * Removed all arbitrary limits on the number of elementary streams.
3120 * Removed b_die and b_error from all decoders (obsoleted by decoder_fifo_t).
3121 All decoders should now exit cleanly (if it's not the case, it should be
3122 referenced as a bug).
3123 * Fixed a bug which prevented the input to exit normally (non-selected
3124 ES in the pp_selected_es array).
3125 * Added netlist support.
3126 * Added U8_Mono audio output
3127 * Fixed "-a [ mpeg | ac3 | lpcm | off ]" option
3128 * Only pre-parse the first 32 MB of data.
3129 * Added -a, -c and -s options. (-a doesn't work but I will let the people
3130 who thought it would be cleaner to put config in environment variables
3131 correct what's wrong in my code).
3132 * Now we only try to open plugins which are existing files
3133 * Big cleanup of the PS input plugin ;
3134 * Fixed a bug in AC3 initialization ;
3135 * PS streams are now pre-parsed (this can take a while) if possible ;
3136 * Move #define from audio_output.h to config.h
3137 * Change vlan_server_ip to vishnou's ip (but vlans not working yet)
3138 * GetChunk() : reads n bytes from the elementary stream and places them
3139 in a big buffer (a gift for Sam).
3140 * Quantic start in fullscreen fixed.
3141 * Input-II now correctly handles private stream 1 (AC3, DVDSPU).
3142 * Split the audio decoder into adec_generic, adec_layer1 and adec_layer2
3144 * Added SDLYUV support,
3145 * Fixed the ratio/position problem in YUV,
3146 * We now display CPU usage statistics for each thread.
3147 * Additional fix for Layer 1 mono
3149 * Fixed audio syncword detection for mpeg 1 streams (hopefully)
3150 * Fixed Layer 2 Mono decoding.
3151 * Hardware YUV overlay (SDL) with real colors ;p It may suck for non
3153 * Removed vout code found in intf file to support fullscreen switching.
3154 Now only vout_SDL updates SDL data and intf only switch flags such as
3155 b_reopen_display and b_fullscreen in p_vout->p_sys.
3156 * Fixed a var name typo in input_programs.c which prevents vlc from
3157 compiling with --enable-debug option. (i_es_pid -> i_es_id :)
3158 * Autodetection of Overlay support
3159 * Fixed support for broken MPEG-1 files.
3160 * Cleaned up program and ES management by using input_programs.c whenever

3167 * Added pf_new_pes in plugins
3168 * Fix in the SCR parser for high values.
3169 * Fixed a bug with DVD's SCR (too close from the PTS).
3170 * Generation d'un makefile presque correct pour les vieilles versions de make
3171 Nettoyage: gestion des dependances pour les plugins, suppressions de pas
3172 mal de redondances, options de compilations coherentes, etc...
3173 * Code to manage es_descriptors and program_descriptors, from benny's
3175 * VLAN support modified.
3176 * We now correctly parse MPEG-1 SCR and there is no need to kludge to read
3177 the stream at the right pace.
3178 * Fixed a bug in the synchro with non-P5/B1 streams.
3179 * Support for MPEG-1 .mpg files.
3180 * Fixed a bug in the synchro with non-P5/B1 streams.

3205 * Minor changes in the Debian files.
3206 * Fixed fps display.
3207 * Fixed MPEG1 video decoding. We don't read MPEG 1 PS files for the
3209 * Fixed a 100% cpu usage bug, in the dummy aout.
3210 * Added a 'f' shortcut to switch between Windowed and Fullscreen
3212 * Added --broadcast option for network input.
3213 * Screen is now emptied when framebuffer output exits.
3214 * Totally new frame dropping algorithm.
3215 * Fixed a bug in video_ouput.c which trashed more late pictures than
3217 * Fixed the DEBUG mode in the Makefile.
3218 * Fixed a bug in mwait() which made us wait too long.
3219 * The video_decoder can now be split into several threads to take
3220 advantage of the SMP machines.

3222 GNU configure stuff.
3223 * Added alsa audio support (plugin)
3224 * vlc is now compiled without the STATS mode by default.
3225 * Fixed a bug which made frames go backwards with some displays (the
3226 video_decoder thread is now niced).
3227 * Added intf_WarnMsg(), and made use of it in the most needed places.
3230 Mon, 28 Aug 2000 02:34:18 +0200
3232 * fixed the support for field pictures, which involved a few dozens
3233 bugs in the video parser and video decoder.
3234 * put names of authors under a lot of source files, for historical
3236 * fixed another input_file exit bug for the beos version.
3237 * fixed the aliases install.
3238 * renamed an inconsistent variable in src/input/input_file.c.

3242 * fixed a motion compensation bug for skipped macroblocks.
3243 * fixed a synchro bug for field images.
3244 * cleaned Octplane's crappy indentation.
