* NEWS: bringing the file to 0.5.3. i have added my work (and some things
that I remembered). i trust everyone will enter his own stuff ;)
* README.MacOSX.rtf: fixed some errors
* THANKS: added Olivier Aubert for his vout-clone-list patch
* ./plugins/fx/scope.c: fixed an infinite loop error.
* ./plugins: fixed segfaults in various demux plugins.
* ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c: SDL_VIDEODRIVER can be specified from the
command line; try "--vout sdl:aalib"
Notes: o I called it 'directx' instead of 'windx' because it
made a lot more sense to me.
o Completely untested. I didn't manage to compile it yet.
o Code in vout_directx.c will go through a big rewrite when
vout 4 is finished. Xav is already working on this.
* The ALSA plugin is back.
* A gift for Gildas: plugins don't rely on backlinking any more. The
drawback is the dirty magic in include/modules_export.h which has to
be included whenever a module needs one of the functions in it. But
a) we should less and less rely on those functions
b) no plugin code modification was needed
The BeOS and MacOS X modules may be broken when compiled as plugins,
I'll check this later when I can reboot under BeOS.
fix: the output threads are now spawned when a decoder needs one,
so it can decide the audio frequency or the video window size. Still
under heavy construction, so don't get too excited at finding bugs
in it yet.
Note: this change broke the XVideo module, so I made its score much
lower than before. I suspect xvideo.so had a bug before which only
appears now. Other video output plugins may be broken as well, but
again this might be due to old existing bugs showing their ugly head.
* Fixed a few buffer overflows in the Gnome interface.
* The module bank is now a global variable. The video output bank and
the audio output bank might follow (when they exist).
* Coding style and organization fixes to the spdif decoder.
* autoconf and Makefile changes by Arnaud Gomes-do-Vale
<arnaud@carrosse.frmug.org>.
* heavy butchering in the CSS and DVD ioctl code to put all architecture-
dependent code in dvd_ioctl.c
* added almost fully-functional /dev/dvd driver for MacOS X in
extras/DVDioctl; to build it:
% cd extras/DVDioctl
% pbxbuild
% kextload build/DVDioctl.kext # note: kextload has to be run as root
be aware that the license for the DVDioctl kernel extension is
not GPL but APSL, because I borrowed some code from the Darwin kernel.
o the slider should behave correctly and stop jumping here and
there (this bug is _not_ related to Stef's similar bug)
o added an "open network" menu (useless since the input doesn't
handle it properly yet)
o tried to reorganize gnome_callbacks.c and gtk_callbacks.c
o stream date is now displayed instead of percentage
o renamed gnome_sys.h to intf_gnome.h, and gtk_sys.h to intf_gtk.h
* Changed documentation and package creation files.
o added versioned conflicts/replaces to vlc-gtk (Closes Debian bug #88796)
o removed useless or outdated documentation from doc/*
o moved vlc.1 manpage from debian/vlc.1 to doc/vlc.1
* Added basic Qt interface.
o working features: slide bar, open file, toolbar, popup menu
o added "qvlc" alias, equivalent to "vlc -I qt"
o known issues : no "open disc" or "open network" menus yet
the IntfWindow class is never cleaned on destruction
the popup menu always pop at the middle of the screen
* Misc fixes/updates.
o renamed netutils.h functions from input_* to network_*
o renamed *plst* files and functions to *playlist* (it was stupid
from me to name them "plst")
o made a few input error messages more meaningful
o added -I, -A and -V short flags, corresponding to --intf, --audio
and --video
I got a lot of conflicts on this commit, lart me if I forgot a
file or made old bugs reappear.
* Got rid of the CONTRIBUTORS list, and switched AUTHORS to a
linux-kernel like author list.
* Updated TODO list.
* Fixed a segfault in the BeOS interface when --noaudio was specified.
* Title and Chapter selection in the Gnome and Gtk+ interfaces.
don't forget to use the -p option if you cvs update)
* Added a plain Gtk+ port of the Gnome interface, for the gnome-impaired
people. Gtk+ is now compiled by default, while Gnome isn't (you will
have to add --enable-gnome when running configure)
* Replaced -lcurses with -lncurses in configure.in.
so this didn't make it work better.
* Started thinking about built-in modules, and added some code to
make it easier eventually.
* Added Oct in the AUTHORS file.
* Fixed a mistake in configure.in.
* All your base are belong to us.
* Fixed a bug in src/misc/modules which prevented loading modules
when launched from the Tracker.
* Fixed a similar bug in src/video_output/video_text.c.
* BeOS CSS support, thanks to Markus Kuespert <ltlBeBoy@beosmail.com>
who ported the Linux DVD ioctls. We can now read encrypted DVDs
under BeOS ! Woohoo.
implementation with `--motion motion', `--motion motionmmx' or
`--motion motionmmxext'. Of course, the best implementation is chosen
if you don't ask for any. There doesn't seem to be any performance hit
due to the move to shared libs, which is a good thing. Please test
actively if you have time, though.
Updated --help result, manpage, INSTALL document, and a few files.
I moved vdec_motion.h and vpar_blocks.h back to /include because they
will be needed to build motion compensation modules, but perhaps we don't
need to export everything which is in these files.
/src/video_decoder/ now has only one .c file, perhaps it could now be
merged with video_parser ?
(tested on puma)
. removed most SYS_SOLARIS #ifdef's in favour of more generic tests
