That one goes at the same “speed” as the real time clock, but it is
warp-less. Now it should be safe to call ntpdate while performing.

(da big courmischage)

* src/misc/mtime.c, include/mtime.h: new common "date" API for date incrementation without long-term rounding errors.
  (is going to replace audio_date_t).

* A few coding style fixes
* Doxygenized a few functions

* src/misc/mtime.c: fixed an overflow in mdate() on win32.
  This overflow was only affecting the hardware configurations where we can't use the performance counter and thus have to use GetTickCount().
  We now also check for the wrapping of the 32 bits value returned by GetTickCount() so mdate() doesn't wrap after 49.7 days.
* src/misc/win32_specific.c: call mdate() once in system_Init() so as to avoid thread safety issues while initialising the static variables used in mdate().

 * Coding style fixes
 * Comment cleanups
 * Doxygenization
include/vlc_common.h:
 * doxygenized the comments for mtime_t and vlc_fourcc_t

Use MSTRTIME_MAX_SIZE instead.

time string.

* include/vlc_common.h: fixed the I64C() macro for mingw.
* src/misc/mtime.c: implemented the heuristic described in http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/fellowsd-bin/TIP/7.html to test whether the win32 performance counter is reliable. That should fix the clock problems that a few users reported on win32.

    WIN32 isn't always defined under WinCE, but might be. Grmbl.
  * ./include/*: changed a few u* and s* to uint*_t and int*_t.

  * ALL: lots of -ansi -pedantic fixes.

* ./doc/vlc-howto.sgml : Fixed typos ;
* ./include/vlc_common.h : Greatly simplified ntoh*, and U??_AT macros are
  now alignment-safe ;
* ./STATUS : New file indicating who's working on what. Please keep it
  up-to-date ;
* ./MAINTAINERS : New file indicating who has knowledge on which parts.

   As for video output 4, this breaks almost everything, but I'll slowly
  do what remains to be fixed during the weekend.

   Changes in vlc:
   ===============

  * vlc is now a very small program (20 lines) which uses the libvlc API;
   it is quite simple for the moment but can be extended in the future.

  * interfaces, decoders, video outputs, etc. are now almost the same
   objects (yes, I know, this is C++ redone in C) and are structured in
   a tree. More about this later, but basically it allows the following
   nice features:
    - several interfaces
    - several playlists with several outputs
    - input plugins spawning helper interfaces (will be used for DVD menus)
    - anything spawning anything; I swear there are useful uses for this!

  * libvlc can be used in other programs; I'm currently writing a Mozilla
   plugin for my employer.

   Things currently broken:
   ========================

  * most interfaces, most ports
  * the playlist handling (almost finished rewriting this though). This means
   no file can be played from the GUI, you need to use the commandline. This
   also means it segfaults at EOF, when exiting the program, and it sometimes
   refuses to open a file when asked to.

* Dropped dependancy on autoconf 2.52.

  * ./include/threads.h: support for the State Threads Library, a userland
    threads library (http://state-threads.sourceforge.net/). Useless to most
    people, but can be handy to debug stuff. Activate with `--enable-st'.

Some heavy changes today:
  * Removed duplicate function checks from configure.in.
  * Added extra magic to Makefile.modules so that the module Makefiles
    are now ridiculously simple. And I mean *simple*. Check it! This will
    make a possible switch to full autoconf/automake a lot easier.
  * Added the vlc version name to the plugin symbols, to be sure we only load
    plugins with the same version number. A nasty consequence is that you
    need to rebuild your tree after midnight if you are using a CVS tree :-)
  * Got rid of modules_export.h by #defining exported functions in the same
    header as their prototype.
  * Added modules_inner.h and other commonly used .h files to common.h so
    there are less and less files to include, and renamed common.h to
    <videolan/vlc.h>.
  * First modifications to the module handling system towards my ultimate
    goal to get rid of the *_Probe functions. Got rid of TestMethod and
    TestCPU, as well as src/misc/tests.c.
  * Wrote the chroma plugin handling functions. No YUV functions have been
    ported yet because it'ls a lot of work, but the core system works, I
    tried it with a naive yv12->rgb16 plugin (which will disappear when the
    real functions are ready).
  * Made a lot of functions in dvd_summary.c one-liners to avoid wasting
    too many output lines.
  * Fixed a segfault in input_dvd.c:DVDInit.
  * Added a fixfiles.sh script in plugins/gtk to be run after Glade has
    generated its C files.
  * Did some work on the KDE interface to make it suck a bit less. It still
    segfaults, but at least it runs and it looks less ugly.
  * RGB SDL rendering works again, though in 16bpp only.
  * Made plugins/vcd/linux_cdrom_tools.c independent of any vlc structure
    so that it'll be easily put in a library. Maybe libdvdcss?
  * Fixed VCD date display.
  * Merged vout_xvideo.c, vout_x11.c and vout_common.c into xcommon.c.
  * Wrote non-Shm XVideo output.
  * Made X11 output work again. Still pretty unstable, only works for 16bpp.
  * Additional french translation in po/fr.po. Any taker for the rest?
  * Fixed a segfault in video_output.c when the allocated pictures were
    not direct buffers.
  * If $DISPLAY isn't set, don't try to run the Gtk+ interface.
  * Replaced 48x48 .xpm images with 32x32 ones to conform to Debian policy
    (Closes Debian bug #126939).
  * Removed the automatic ./configure launch when running `make all' for
    the first time.

Stuff currently more broken than it ought to be:
  * The wall filter. Being fixed.
  * x11 and sdl plugins for depth != 16bpp.
  * Software YUV.
  * gvlc, gnome-vlc, kvlc shortcuts. Use --intf instead for the moment.

  * COMPLETE CVS BREAKAGE !! The MAIN branch is going to be a playground
    for my nevrotic and destructive pulsions during the next few hours!

  * If you want to test vlc, please use the v0_2_92_branch branch.

  * Stuff currently working:
     - direct to YUV buffer decoding
     - non-ugly subtitle blending
     - XVideo and SDL video output

  * Stuff currently utterly broken:
     - aspect ratio
     - software rendering (ie, all other video output plugins)

  * Additional misc changes:
     - Renamed spu_dec to spudec and mad_adec to mad to stay coherent with
       other plugins. Also, renamed mpeg to mpeg_system.
     - Added jobi to the AUTHORS file.
     - Factored code common to vout_x11.c and vout_xvideo.c.

now be included *before* threads.h ;
* Changed all files to include intf_msg.h before threads.h ; while I was
at it, I update the copyright notices ;
* Removed the obsolete darwin plug-in.

- a few bug fixes for the directx plugin.
- removed the custom usleep function for win32 as we don't really need
    this accuracy, and it was eating cpu resources.

  * Added gprof profiling support with --enable-profiling.

    It works at last! configure with --enable-profiling, build, run
 vlc (you may want to add --noaudio, it currently segfaults with sound
 here) and launch "gprof vlc" when finished.

    To make gprof work with multithreaded programs, one needs to set the
 internal ITIMER_PROF timer for each new thread launched. I did this
 through a wrapper in vlc_thread_create (see include/threads.h).

  * DirectX enhancements by Gildas Bazin, such as software rendering.
  * Merged dvdcss_init and dvdcss_open into dvdcss_open, and dvdcss_close
    and dvdcss_end into dvdcss_close. libdvdcss API now has 7 functions.
  * Another failed attempt at profiling vlc under Linux: ported the
    threads API to GNU Pth. Activate with --enable-pth. It doesn't seem to
    spawn new threads for me, maybe someone will have better luck.
  * Makefile optimizations.
  * Automatic build of libdvdcss if not found.

  * Win32 plugin support by Gildas Bazin <gbazin@netcourrier.com>.

  * Win2000 DVD input by Jon Lech Johansen <jon-vl@nanocrew.net>.

  * Applied patch from Jon Lech Johansen <jon-vl@nanocrew.net> to compile
    vlc with MS and Intel C/C++ compilers.

  * Added support for some terribly braindead DVD subtitles in Kenshin
    which do not have a "stop display" command. Anime fans rejoice!
  * Fixed the BeOS interface to use p_aout_bank instead of p_main->p_aout.
  * Coding-style butchery (mostly tabs).

  * Coding style fixes here and there.
  * Miscellaneous QNX compile fixes.
  * Beginning of the mingw32 port by Gildas Bazin <gbazin@netcourrier.com>.
  * Added Marcari and Gildas to the AUTHORS file.

  (I commited the mingw32 port because it doesn't add any new code outside
   the #ifdefs, but we won't tell a word about it for the moment. We don't
   really need windows users whining about bugs, do we ?)

  * Header cleaning: filled all empty authors fields, added CVS $Id stuff.
  * Fixes to aout_darwin.c by Colin Delacroix <colin@zoy.org>.
  * Fixes to configure.in, Makefile.in and main.c (Altivec detection)
    by Eugenio Jarosiewicz <ej0@cise.ufl.edu>.
  * Added Colin and Eugenio to the AUTHORS file.

(previous commit foired)

 . this is a coding style patch which removes all "foo(bar){" constructions
   and most of the tabulations.
 . also, fixed a bug in the default subtitle track.
 . and made a few error messages more explicit, ie. changed "error: %s" to
   "foo error: couldn't initialize bar (%s)"
 . and removed a warning in intf_ctrl.c which isn't used anyway.

  * Fixed a bug in video_ouput.c which made the stream go backwards
    sometimes.
  * Fixed a bug in video_ouput.c which trashed more late pictures than
    necessary.
  * Fixed the DEBUG mode in the Makefile.
  * Fixed a bug in mwait() which made us wait too long.

Ca va tuer.

licences. Et puis �a peut arriver � tout le monde :)

 . correction d'une boulette que j'ai faite dans netutils.c
 . d�but de intf_gnome. vout_gnome est une copie de vout_x11 pour l'instant

 . include/config.h devient include/config.h.in et config.h sera
  g�n�r� par ./configure. Le but est d'�viter les options -DFOO de gcc
 . suppression d'un 'Resources' qui trainait encore dans config.h

  top scripts de tibob.
 . suppression de Makefile
 . rajout de include/defs.h.in qui g�n�re include/defs.h

 pour g�n�rer le Makefile et defs.h il faut lancer ./configure

 pour ceux qui voudraient toucher � configure.in, "include/defs.h.in" est
g�n�r� par la commande autoheader, et "configure" est g�n�r� par autoconf
