Unfortunately, we cannot emit NEON opcodes when NEON is not explicitly
enabled (-mfpu=neon), contrary to MMX & SSE on x86. As a consequence,
this will not work for inline assembler in a non-optimized plugin,
namely the deinterlacer.
There is also a(n hopefully theoretical) bug whereby the compiler would
emit NEON instructions in the descriptor or activation callback of a
NEON plugin. This could then crash if NEON is not supported, even
before the NEON run-time check is reached.
String choices lists can now also have a list of text descriptions associated with them.
Added integer choices lists.
* modules/gui/wxwindows/: modified config widgets to use the new config options.
* ALL: updated for the new config options.
+ New build system, using recursive makefiles. Due to the amount of code
in VLC, this had become unavoidable.
+ Removed the check for OS X's stack size, since our automake targets are
a lot less hungry now.
+ Ditto for Solaris's sed.
+ Since automake-1.6 is faster than 1.7, use it first if both are present.
* m4/vlc.m4:
+ New AX_ADD_CPPFLAGS, AX_ADD_CFLAGS, AX_ADD_CXXFLAGS, AX_ADD_OBJCFLAGS
and AX_ADD_LDFLAGS macros that do all the magic to detect possible
modules and register their flags.
+ New AX_ADD_BUILTINS and AX_ADD_PLUGINS macros.
+ Some magic to generate vlc-config.
* configure.ac:
+ Moved most code to the AX_ADD_* macros.
+ Explicitely added all target Makefiles.
* modules/**/Modules.am:
+ Path to sources are now relative to Modules.am's directory level.
indicate wether it is an "advanced" option or not. The goal with this is to
hide the user from all the strange options that very seldom needs to be
changed. added an extra argument to all the add_* macros to indicate wether
the item is advanced or not.
* src/libvlc.h: added an "show advanced options" config option default
disabled
* src/libvlc.c: the advanced options are not listed by vlc --help and
friends unless --advanced is used
* modules/gtk/preferences.c: the gtk/gnome preferences dialog don't show
advanced options unless advanced is set
all: set the advanced flag to VLC_FALSE or VLC_TRUE for all options, by
using some common sense. Please check and correct
note: All interfaces should still work like they used to, see the change in
modules/gtk/preferences.c to find out how to "hide" options.
second note: I think I've changed all the modules, but I could not test
everyone for compilation, expect some broken modules (the fix is to add ",
VLC_TRUE" as last argument to the add_* I forgot)
filter chain. If the filter chain has changed, a new vout will be respawned allowing to switch filters on
the fly. This is still a bit hacky but to do it nicely will require implementing inheritance in object
variables.
* modules/video_filter/deinterlace/deinterlace.c: added a "deinterlace-mode" object variable to allow
switching deinterlace modes on the fly.
* modules/gui/gtk/menu.c: updated the deinterlace menu.
* include/vlc_common.h: compilation fixes for gtk_main and gnome_main.
* ./debian/control: gnome-vlc recommends vlc-plugin-esd, and kvlc recommends
vlc-plugin-arts.
* ./src/misc/messages.c: message queue now prints the current object type.
* ./modules/*: cosmetic fixes for the --long-help output.
waveout, directx, qnx, beos, win32, macosx, and the AltiVec modules.
* ALL: removed mention of AC3 in favour of A52.
* ./configure.in, ./Makefile*: modules can now be built deeper than 1
directory. As a consequence, the build is even slower (but I'm fixing
this) and make clean doesn't work anymore.
