GitLab

  * ./include/modules_inner.h: replaced _X with __VLC_SYMBOL because _X was
    already a system macro under MacOS X.
  * ./plugins/dummy/dummy.c: fixed vlc:loop, vlc:quit, etc. entries.
  * ./plugins/glide/glide.c: activated double buffering.
  * ./plugins/mga/xmga.c: started writing an xmga plugin; doesn't work yet.
  * ./src/input/input.c: fixed the input memory leak, and the insane thread
    spawning we got with vlc:loop.
  * ./src/misc/intf_eject.c: disc ejection routine courtesy of Julien Blache,
    currently Linux-only.

  * ./plugins/mga/mga.c: removed the mgammx module and put the code in
    the chroma_i420_ymga module instead. This introduces a slight
    performance issue as we now need to memcpy() the Y plane, but I have
    some vout4 enhancements on their way which make this point moot.
  * ./debian/changelog: imported official Debian changelog.
  * ./debian/control: activated the vlc-mad and vlc-arts packages; package
    builds should now work again.
  * ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c: solved a symbol resolution issue when vlc was
    compiled without libdvdcss which overflowed the return stack.
  * ./plugins/ggi/ggi.c: ported the GGI plugin to vout4.
  * ./plugins/glide/glide.c: ported the Glide plugin to vout4 (untested).
  * ./src/input/input.c: prepared everything for multi-input mode; since
    no interface is yet prepared to handle this, I changed them so that
    they just use the first available input for now. This may break other
    things, but I promise I'll eventually repair everything :-)

  * ./plugins/mga/mga.c: MMX-accelerated version of the MGA plugin.
  * ./plugins/mpeg_vdec/Makefile: Little workaround for PA-Risc compilation.

  * ./src/audio_output/aout_s16.c: fixed a segfault. It may have unexpected
    side effects because I don't know this part of the code, but at least
    it doesn't crash anymore.
  * ./plugins/beos/beos.cpp: first attempt at porting the BeOS plugin to the
    new video output and module systems. Doesn't work nor even compile yet.
  * ./configure.in: we now check the gtk-config version.

  * ./configure.in: fix for obscure architectures like hppa where target_os
    isn't properly detected.
  * ./include/video_output.h: got rid of pf_setpalette; I'll find a nicer way.
  * ./plugins/mga.c: fixed MGA module compilation. Doesn't work yet, though.

  * ./BUGS: added a list of known bugs. Please add your findings!
  * ./MODULES: added a short description of each module. Maybe we should
    add more details to make this file really useful.
  * ./doc/bugreport-howto.txt: wishful thinking...
  * ./Makefile: added a workaround for the fact that .c files don't depend
    on <videolan/vlc.h>.
  * ./plugins/memcpy/memcpy.c: all memcpy modules are now built from the same
    single file.
  * ./src/interface/main.c: added the --nommx, --no3dnow, --nommxext, --nosse
    and --noaltivec options to vlc.
  * ./configure.in: removed the --disable-mmx option, now useless because
    of the vlc --no* options.
  * ./src/interface/main.c: fixed a crash caused by the memcpy module
    being released too early.
  * ./include/video.h: more vout4 changes, including margin support, more
    FOURCC formats recognized, transparent support of identical or almost
    identical FOURCC formats.
  * ./include/video_output.h: added a vout_Render function to video output
    modules which is to be executed before vout_Display.
  * ./include/common.h: this header is back.
  * ./plugins/chroma/i420_rgb.c: planar YUV 4:2:0 to packed RGB conversion
    functions, mostly taken from vout3's yuv functions, but heavily modified
    to use FAST_MEMCPY and to handle image dimensions which are not multiples
    of 16. Not all functions have been written yet, though.
  * ./plugins/chroma/i420_yuy2.c: planar YUV 4:2:0 to packed YUV conversion
    functions, various targets such as 4:2:2 YUYV, YVYU, UYVY, or 2:1:1 YUYV,
    with accelerated MMX versions.
  * ./plugins/chroma/i422_yuy2.c: same as i420_yuy2.c but takes planar YUV
    4:2:2 pictures in input. With accelerated MMX versions as well. This plugin
    makes it possible to display 4:2:2 files on most video cards without the
    quality loss of 4:2:0 downsampling.
  * ./plugins/filter/*: thanks to the vout_Render function, all filters now
    output their data perfectly in sync.
  * ./plugins/dvdread/Makefile: fix to prevent unnecessary target rebuilds.
  * ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c: support for YV12, UYVY, YUY2 and YVYU overlays.
  * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: support for I420, YV12, YUY2 and Y211 overlays.

  * ./ChangeLog: imported the 0.2.92 changes, unrolled current CVS changes.
  * ./include/config.h et al.: this file is no longer generated.
  * ./include/video.h: we use the FOURCC definition of a chroma format to
    describe picture types (see http://www.webartz.com/fourcc/).
  * ./plugins/dvdread/input_dvdread.c: compilation fix by Eyal Lebedinsky.
  * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: fixed the XShm operations order.

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.

  * Added Jeffrey Baker to the AUTHORS file.
  * Fixed a PPC compilation issue.

  * Initialize SDL before opening the SDL audio output.
  * Prevent two SDL video outputs or audio outputs to be spawned at the
    same time to avoid ugly crashes.
  * The SDL plugin now says whether we are using software or hardware YUV
    in its window title.
  * We now stop at the first ':' when looking for a module name, to easily
    pass information to the modules. Possible example: --vout sdl:software,
    implementation of such an option is left as an exercise.
  * Merged filter_bob and filter_bob422 into filter_bob. Use --filter bob
    to deinterlace 422 into 420 as well.
  * Factorized code common to most filters and the video output, optimized
    a few filters by aligning data and reading 64 bits at a time.
  * Two new absolutely useless, CPU-eating, resource-wasting, but fun
    filters: enjoy `transform', which performs flips and 90� rotations, and
    `distort', which performs animated image effects (currently only a naive
    sine wave is implemented). Usage examples:
       --filter transform:hflip
       --filter transform:vflip
       --filter transform:90
       --filter transform:180
       --filter transform:270
       --filter distort:wave

  * Ultimate fixes to the win32 package generation.

  * Pathetic attempt at a 4:2:2 renderer and deinterlacer, combining the
    most awful line dropping techniques of both BOB and 422 to 420
    downscaling. Don't worry, it should only survive for a couple of days.

  * CPU detection under BeOS.
  * Fixed XVideo port selection.
  * New stupid plugin: "--filter wall" for split-image playback :-)
     (will evolve into a real image wall plugin when I have time)

  * Filter plugins. Not very polished (please don't look at how the dates are
    calculated!), but worth a try. Use the following flags:
     "--filter invert" for inverse video
     "--filter bob" for BOB deinterlacing
  * Fixed a potential segfault if the subtitle stream was encountered
    before the video stream.
  * Misc vout4 fixes.

  * Fixed aspect ratio handling.
  * Fixed potential compilation issues under eg. BSD/OS.

  * Additional fixes for OSes with no gettext (thanks to ej0).
  * Fixed a potential BeOS linking issue.
  * Fixed a minor bug in input.c.

  * Don't try to use gettext if we don't have GNU gettext. This may change
    in the future though (most GNU software seems to include a local copy of
    gettext in case the operating system doesn't provide it).

  * Fixed an issue in Makefile.dep causing to rebuild unnecessary files
    in the gtk/gnome and x11/xvideo plugins.
  * Fixed CFLAGS_XVIDEO.

  * HP-UX port of the DVD ioctls courtesy of David Sieb�rger.

  * configure.in was broken for win32

  * (very old) russian translation courtesy of Valek Filippov <frob@df.ru>.
  * Fixed a charset issue in the french translation.

  * Updated config.guess and config.sub from GNU's latest versions (bozo,
    you may want to update them in vls as well).
  * Added vlc.pot skeleton for translators.

  * Removed unused code (intf_channels.c, keystrokes.h).
  * Put common_win32.h back into common.h -- it wasn't that big and we
    should not multiply header files.
  * Added gettext support by Thomas Graf <reeler@reeler.org>, may be
    broken on other platforms but we'll only see it when I'm finished
    with vout 4 :-)
  * Fixed a segfault on exit when no fast_memcpy module was found.

  * 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.

* Updated documentation ;
* New --desync option, to delay the video (in case of lip desynchronization) ;
this is bad, but we have no other option for the moment ;
* Clicking in vout now pauses the stream, patch courtesy of Peter Surda.

  * Borrowed MPlayer's fast memcpy() routines. Best is autodetected, choose
    "--memcpy <whatever>" to choose one from c, mmx, mmxext or 3dn.
    Please test! Especially Athlon users.
  * Added versioned build-dep to libasound2-dev (Closes Debian bug #121057).
  * Updated Gtk/GNOME interfaces to use "udpstream" instead of "ts".
  * Unrolled ChangeLog.

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.

Enable it with --enable-dvdread.

 * Big clean-up to allow compiling every module as plugins.
 * Added bytes_swap.h to provide ntoh() and htol() on Win32. With this
     change we don't have to link winsock2 with every plugin anymore. This
     should also give us a slight speed increase.
 * Added #define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN in threads.h to speed-up compilation
     on Win32.
 * Modified ac_downmix_3dn and sse so they compile with the latest gcc for
     Win32.

(PS: the dvdread plugin doesn't compile yet on Win32)

Libdvdread files are in extras/libdvdread. They have not been changed from
those of libdvdread 0.9.2. The changes are in the subdirectory videolan.
They basically consist of a new function in the API that does a readv()
instead fo a read().

The library is statically linked with libdvdcss from extras/libdvdcss, and
the whole is statically linked with the plugin dvdread. Dvdread can only be
compiled as a builtin module for the time being, I think (which means I
haven't tried to compile it as a plugin).

Basically, input_dvdread.c is a copy and paste from input_dvd.c with a few
changes to use libdvdread calls. It is still in very alpha stage, but it
should offer the same features as the current DVD input.

It can be called with either the syntax: "dvdread:/dev/dvd"
or "--input dvdread /dev/dvd". The command line switches (-t, -T, -c, -u)
should work too.

  * aRts audio output courtesy of Emmanuel Blindauer <manu@agat.net>.
  * Fix to the esd plugin when esd-config --cflags is nonempty.

Please, please, don't forget those who use the --with-directx flag when
./configuring ! :p
Now, to configure directx, use the --enable-directx and --with-directx
if necessary.

    ( xvideo, x11 and dsp plugins are not enabled by default for win32,
      plus a few other Win32 cosmetic changes )
- Updated the INSTALL-win32.txt file.

(Let's hope I didn't break anything ;-)
