aout_Volume* API

   "normal" one to set the vout window on top of ther windows
 * modules/gui/win32: the interface can use these variables
   (almost closes #84)

 * Cosmetic here and there

   according to the "enqueue" config option

    navigation fixes from the Gtk+ interface.

 * Added audio channels selection, but it's currently disabled since
   it's quite buggy :)

  when opening it from the playlist window, add it to the list, but
  don't change anything to the playing state and current stream.

- playlist.dfm : proper resizing behaviour

  and restore it from a file chosen by the user.

- win32/*:

  - implementation of the previous feature in the win32 interface
>   -> what the other interfaces need to do to support it is simply to
>      call the two following functions:
>       int playlist_LoadFile(playlist_t *p_playlist,const char *psz_filename);
>       int playlist_SaveFile(playlist_t *p_playlist,const char *psz_filename);
>      where psz_filename is the name of the destination/source file.

  - ability to open several files at a time

   and got rid of the global variable (at last!) in the win32 interface.

Please check that navigation and language selection aren't too much
broken for DVDs...

   files on the interface or on the playlist (Closes: #10).
 * ./modules/gui/win32/playlist.cpp: factorized a lot of code.
 * ./modules/gui/win32/*: reorganized some code here and there.

    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.

    for p_intf->b_die to know when they are supposed to terminate p_intf. This
    will allow to spawn interface plugins on the fly.

 * ./plugins/win32/about.*: Added the version number in the About box

    to be still crashing.

  * ./src/interface/interface.c: interfaces are no longer attached only to
    p_vlc.
  * ./src/libvlc.c, ./src/misc/modules.c, ./src/playlist/playlist.c,
    ./src/input/input.c: improvements in the playlist handling (not quite that
    yet though).
(ported from v0_4_1_branch)
  * ./configure.in, ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_ts.c: fixed libdvbpsi handling.
  * ./src/misc/configuration.c: fixed the --nofoo option handling.
  * ./src/interface/main.c: fixed two compilation warnings under Solaris.

  * ./src/playlist/playlist.c, src/input/input.c: added safety checks to
    prevent crashes on next file.
(ported from 0_4_1_branch)
  * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_display.c, ./plugins/win32/mainframe.cpp: we deactivate
    popup menus when no stream is being played, even in network mode.
  * ./src/input/mpeg_system.c: removed unnecessarily verbose message.

   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.

Win32 interface:
 * The "Eject" button is enabled only after we played a dvd or vcd.
 * The toolbar is now flat and less cubist.
 * Got rid of the ugly slider with some winXP skins.
 * Added a config option to limit the number of messages in the log
   window (default is set to 500).

 * intf_eject.c : added ejection code for Win32. Please test it under
                  Win95/98/Me, I just can't install a winme
                  in my work office :).
 * plugins/win32/* : enabled the "Eject" button (thanks Ipkiss)
 * src/misc/netutils.c : just changed my mail :P

 * URL can now start with "http://" in the Network dialog box
 * Updated the About dialog box

 * ALL: replaced TUpDown components by TCSpinEdit ones, which allow
   values greater than 32767. It fixes the audio bug ocurring when a
   configuration file is saved under the win32 interface

 * ./plugins/win32/mainframe.cpp: Added some extra space between
   statusbar and toolbar when nothing is displayed. I find it nicer :)

  * ALL: removed underscores from option names and made a few options more
    self-explanatory, for instance --input_channel becomes --audio-channel;
    run vlc -H to see what has changed.
  * ALL: replaced many occurences of "plugin" with the word "module".
  * ./src/interface/main.c: moved all satellite-specific configuration options
    to the satellite plugin.
  * ./po/*: updated translations.

  * ./AUTHORS: added myself :)
  * ./plugins/win32/mainframe.cpp: disabled the "hide interface" menu
    item, not yet implemented.
  * ./plugins/win32/about.dfm: replaced the outdated author list with a
    "VideoLAN Team" entry.

 * ./plugins/win32/*: Added management for secondary config dialogs

 * ./plugins/win32:
        - fixed a few bugs in the preferences
        - better auto-resizing of the main window
        - the disc dialog now respects the preferences settings

 * plugins/win32:
        - added toolbar icons (thanks xav)
        - we can no longer edit plugin names in the preferences :)
        - the tool button for playlist is now a toggle button

 * Added a win32 interface plugin, developed with Borland C++ Builder.
   To build the plugin, follow the instructions in INSTALL-win32.txt

 * Known bugs:
        - subtitles don't work
        - a crash occurs when the user exits by pressing 'q' in the vout
        - when moving the slider, position in the stream updates even if
          the slider isn't released yet

 * TODO list:
        - clean code in menu.cpp
        - adapt lool's enhancements of the Gtk+ preferences box
        - write drag-and-drop stuff
        - and of course, fix known bugs :)

 * For those of you who can't wait till the next release to test the win32
   interface, binary files are available here:

   Enjoy!
