* Decreased the priority of kde interface because of it's unstable nature
  and not being maintained status.

* modules/visualisation/visual/* :
	visualization system. It supports multi-effects.
At the moment:
	-dummy (guess what ? it does nothing)
	-scope (adapted and fixed from sam's one)
	-random (displays random plots)
Todo:
	- spectrum analyser
	- movement effects (rotations, scrolls,...)
	- blur effect ?

src/libvlc.h: replaced "VLS" by "streaming server".

* playlist.cpp : added "Random" and "Loop" checkboxes

* po/pt_BR.po, THANKS: new brazilian portuguese translation, courtesy of Andr� de Barros Martins Ribeiro.

src, and build it in the stream_out_standard module to avoid a link

* ALL: bumped version number to 0.6.3-cvs
* modules/control/ntservice.c: new Windows NT/2K/XP service interface.

* include/announce.h & vlc_common.h: slp_session_t structure definition

* module/stream_out/standard.c & src/stream_output/announce.c :
    SLP announcing support by vlc

* ALL: preparing for a 0.6.2 release

The familiar interface is now officially removed from VLC. The interface is superseeded by the PDA interface for handhelds. It uses Gtk+2 and can be built using the configure option '--enable-pda'.

 Makefile.am : cleaned make packages-beos

* ALL: bumped version number to 0.6.2-cvs
* modules/video_output/x11/xcommon.c: closing the video window or using the escape key doesn't exit VLC anymore but stop the input instead.

 * demux/* : function name consistency.

* configure.ac: added the svlc shortcut for the skins.
* install-win32: removed the custom link in the start menu.

* src/video_output/video_output.c: fixed potential segfault.
* configure.ac: don't bail out if matroska headers are not found.

* configure.ac: bumped version number to 0.6.1.
    Enabled matroska support by default.
* extras/MacOSX/*: bumped version number to 0.6.1.
* INSTALL.win32: instructions update.
* share/Makefile.am: included the html files for the http interface.
* po/*: ran ./toolbox --update-po.

  defined symbols and libmp3lame
* Makefile.am: Build po before . because we need the po files to build
  VLC.app
* po/fr.po: French translation courtesy of Jean-Pierre Kuypers
* OS X interface: cosmetics

Gtk2 port of the familiar Linux interface. The name is also changed to PDA so it reflects that it is targeted at handhelds.

The familiar interface itself is deprecreated and will be removed after the next stable version of VLC Media Player.

* modules/gui/wxwindows/*: a couple of compilation fixes for wxWindows cvs.

  - Removed all the RLE subtitle font code.
  - Removed the .rle and even older .psf font files.
  - Moved the filesubtitle code from spudec to subsdec.
  - spudec is again DVD only.

* modules/codec/quicktime.c, configure.ac: ported the audio part of the quicktime module to win32.

disabled by default, use --enable-joystick & --extraintf joystick

actions are:
	left-right: variable speed seek
	up-down: browse the playlist
	button 1: play/pause
	button 2: fullscreen

* Add -framework Carbon to the ldflags of the spudec module when Carbon is
  present. freetype-config unfortunatly omits this on MacOSX.

I think I did this correctly, but it might be wise to review this :)

* modules/gui/wxwindows/*: The wxwindows interface is now a "dialogs provider" module as well as a normal "interface".
   Dialog providers expose an api that allow other modules to use the GUI dialogs the module provides (open dialogs, etc...).
   + misc small enhancements.

* modules/gui/skins/*: completely removed the dependancy on the wxwindows code (which also eliminates the need for the basic_skins module).
   The skins module will now try to load a "dialogs provider" to display the open, messages, file info and preferences dialogs.

    top_srcdir.

  * configure.ac: Propagate $(top_srcdir) to the vlc-config call.

All: My shot at improving subtitle rendering in vlc. Now each vout uses a "text renderer" module to render text on the video when needed. I decieded to make this a module type, because other api's (win32 and macosx) is supposed to do better than freetype under some circumstances.

include/video_output.h: added some members needed by text renderer modules
src/video_output/video_output.c: load and unload text renderer module when needed
src/video_output/video_text.c: implemented some functions to show text on the video
include/osd.h: exported the functions to show text
modules/misc/Modules.am, module/misc/freetype.c: new text renderer module, largly based on the old osdtext module.
modules/video_filter/Modules.am, modules/video_filter/osd_text.c: removed the osdtext module
configure.ac: changes "osdtext" to "freetype" some places
modules/codec/spudec/*: when iconv is available, use it to convert textual subtitles from the encoding given by --sub-encoding to utf8. Use new code to render subtitles
modules/control/lirc/lirc.c: use new code to give feedback on buttons pressed. untested.
modules/demux/util/sub.c: remove all traces of the ugly old osdtext module
modules/misc/dummy/*: added a "text renderer" submodule in the dummy module
src/misc/modules.c: included osd.h as it seems to be needed to export symbols


final notes: you need to give a proper value to --freetype-font. This should be the path to a font file freetype2 can handle (almost any format afaik) with a unicode translation table in it. Windows ttf files will do. In linux at least openoffice distributes some fonts that work. I think macosx and beos also has useable fonts.

    Disable the gtk2/gnome2 interfaces as they are currently unuseable and this option was confusing users more than anything else.
    Enabled the mp4 muxer (Although it doesn't yet produce streams compatible with quicktime).

    compiles cleanly (to build the medicacontrol.so library you need to cd to
    that directory and "make medicacontrol.so") but untested.
  * src/playlist/playlist.c: Mostly harmless fix to playlist.c suggested by
    Olivier.
