  * 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.

  * 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.

  * Fixed Debian package builds.

  * 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.

  * 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.

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.

All decoders (audio, video, subtitles) are now modules.

- mpeg_vdec, mpeg_adec and ac3_adec are builtins by default
- ac3_spdif, spu_dec and lpcm_dec are plugins by default

  * Added a "make package-beos" rule.
  * Fixed a BeOS compilation issue.

  * Fixed the vlcs communication issue by initializing WinSock at
    startup (thanks Meuuh for the tip).

  * Fixed a bug in the "make snapshot*" rules.

  * Made everything ready for a vlc-0.2.91 / libdvdcss-1.0.0 release.
  * Updated ChangeLog and ChangeLog.libdvdcss.
  * Increased vlcs response message length.
  * Removed the i_flags argument to dvdcss_open. Everything is done through
    environment variables now.

  * Added Oct's NSIS installer script. It will probably not work for you,
    but I need it to build the Win32 auto installer.

so that every plugin can use it

*Change the name of a function in dvd_udf.c to fit with the forthcoming
 libdvdread plugin.

The Linux specific stuff is located in linux_cdrom_tools files.
For the time being, it only has title (tracks). Chapters will come if I
ever can read .vcd files.
I've modified Gnome and GTK+, not the others.
I've noticed a big bug, it segfaults at the end of a title. I will
have a look on this tomorrow.
Please be indulgent, it's my first peace of code ;-)

  * 0.2.90 release.
  * Updated ChangeLog files.
  * XVideo module now compiled as built-in for Debian packages, to avoid
    PIC and non-PIC code collision (Closes Debian bug #111790).

Pflug <fgp@phlo.org>. Use it with -I macosx_qt.

  * Added HTTP virtualhost support in the HTTP input.
  * Enabled mouse clicks in the GGI plugin.
  * Minor Makefile alteration.

  * Fixed build dependencies for architectures not supporting libasound2
    (Closes Debian bug #109722).

  * Split ChangeLog into ChangeLog and ChangeLog.libdvdcss.
  * Added --xvadaptor flag to select the XVideo adaptor to use.
  * Everything is ready for the 0.2.83 release.

  * Added BSD/OS libdvd by Steven M. Schultz <sms@TO.GD-ES.COM> in
    extras/BSDI_dvdioctl after he suggested it. License is GPL.
  * ./configure now checks for an installed libdvd under BSD/OS and
    falls back to ours if not found.
  * Fixed harmless typos in yesterday's Solaris libdvd patches.
  * Bumped libdvdcss version number up to 0.0.3 ; release will probably
    follow once the BSDI changes have been tested.

  * Fixed a bug in the gtk interface which caused vlc to go amok after
    having met a zero-sized area.
  * Found out how to type '�' in vim :-)
  * Added missing bloat to modules_export.h.
  * 'snapshot*' rules do not depend on 'clean', and don't use /tmp anymore.
  * Added vlc:loop playlist command to go back at the beginning.
    Usage: vlc file1.mpeg file2.mpeg ... fileN.mpeg vlc:loop
    This change isn't very elegant but there are already bugs in the
    playlist handling, I'll try to polish it once the playlist is fixed.

  * Got Makefile to launch ./configure almost properly. $(MAKECMDGOALS) rules !
  * Various debian scripts fixes.
  * Added -lmsvcrt40 to the win32 flags for proper execution under Wine.
  * Fixed broken soname setting under Solaris (and OS X, sort of).
  * Made the illegal instruction report more explicit.
  * BSD/OS 4.3beta1 fixes by Steven M. Schultz <sms@TO.GD-ES.COM>.

  * Added a dummy libdvdcss so that the DVD plugin can be used without
    libdvdcss. It will try to dlopen() libdvdcss at runtime, though,
    and will use the dummy functions only if it couldn't find a valid
    libdvdcss. This is probably only useful to package maintainers.

  * Tidied the snapshot-* Makefile rules.
  * Tidied the modules Makefiles.
  * Removed useless stuff in the debian/ directory.
  * Removed the "make all" kludge in the Makefile.opts rule. I hope this
    patch is harmless on all systems.

* Fixed a bug when compiling KDE plug-in without Qt plug-in ;
* Now taking into account $KDEDIR ;
* Made SDL configure error messages more explicit ;
* --disable-sdl is now correctly taken into account ;
* Changed the order of evaluation of sdl-config and sdl11-config ;
* Finally fixed SDL*/SDL.h check ;

  * Added a make uninstall rule.

  * Changed libdvdcss API to force binary incompatibility. Yeah, this is
    evil, but if we don't do it now we'll have to do it when more people
    are using it.
  * Fixed minor libdvdcss stuff such as the soname and compilation flags.
  * New --with-dvdcss flag.
    Explanation:
     o default: build libdvdcss, statically link vlc against it.
     o --with-dvdcss=no: build libdvdcss, dynamically link vlc against it.
     o --with-dvdcss=yes: don't build libdvdcss, use already installed one.
     o --with-dvdcss=/foo: don't build libdvdcss, use libdvdcss from /foo/*.
    (this looks a bit strange to me, I'll find better flag settings)

Removed the changes made ; vlc should compile when following the
instructions in INSTALL-win32.

Quick and ugly hack in the makefile to allow vlc_win32 to compile when
getting it directly from the CVS. As a result, the vlc_win32 program
doesn't have an icon any more. Too bad.

* Fixed a bug in the video decoder initialization :-p ;
* Added --smp option and several hooks in src/input/input_ext-intf.c ;
* Grayscale mode now turns off chroma IDCT.
