* All Debian packages are now lintian-clean.
  * Fixed XVideo plugin linking.

  * Updated TODO list with Henri's Apr 6th post.
  * Built-in modules support almost finished.

    Now you can compile any module within vlc, even the Gnome, Qt, SDL
  and GGI modules at the same time, resulting in an awful extra fat
  vlc binary with gazillons of library dependecies.

    The only exception is that the Gnome and Gtk+ modules can't be
  compiled together into vlc. But you can have one compiled built-in
  and the other as a plugin.

    Another consequence is that libdl should no longer be needed under
  MacOS X. I'll check this as soon as possible.

  * Beginning of the built-in modules support.

   A few words about the changes:

  - heavy Makefile butchery has taken place, each plugin now has its own
    Makefile. I know recursive make blablah harmful, but it was just so
    much easier to do this way.

  - Makefile.in has disappeared, we now generate Makefile.opts with
    the overall configuration options, and Makefile.modules which is
    specific to module compilation.

  - After ./configure has been run you may want to modify Makefile.opts
    to check which modules will be compiled built-in or as plugins.

  - Some modules cannot be compiled built-in right now because proper
    linkage doesn't work yet. We don't really care since they're the
    interface or video output modules. The most important stuff works
    (iDCT, motion, YUV, input).

  - It's perfectly valid to compile a module both as built-in and as a
    plugin. vlc will only load the built-in one, but I'll add an option
    to ignore built-in modules for testing purposes.

  - We *should* see a performance increase here. I didn't have much time
    to test it, but if anyone can confirm and perhaps give a rough
    estimate of how much we gain...

  * Updated version number to 0.2.71 (release today).

  * Merged 6 months of CVS logs to the ChangeLog file.
    The vlc changelog can now be viewed here:
       http://www.videolan.org/vlc/changelog.html

  * Fixed a lintian error in debian/rules.
  * XVideo resize patch by Shane Harper <shanegh@optusnet.com.au>.

  * Fixed icons location and Debian desktop menus.

  * Fixed the whitespace/tab issues in the Makefile.
  * Corrected an awful typo in the version name, I hope Lieutenant Commander
    Arkady Grigorovich Ourumov will never set up us the bomb for that.
  * Removed deprecated stuff from config.h.
  * Disabled message queue by default.
  * A few other changes in the CSS code, the BeOS issues should be fixed.
  * Fixed a memory leak in gtk_callbacks.c (thanks to Dae).

interface (courtesy of Eugenio Jarosiewicz & Colin Delacroix) ;
* Bumped up version number to 0.2.70.

  * added the GNU getopt library, which gets compiled in when getopt_long
    isn't available on the desired platform.
  * replaced the `--warning' flag with the standard cumulative `-v' flag.
    `-v' is like `--warning 3', and `-vvvv' is like `--warning 0'
    (`--warning' is still valid for those used to it)
  * cleaning in configure.in and Makefile.in, the Solaris port now
    builds and runs properly.

  * XVideo plugin courtesy of Shane Harper <shanegh@optusnet.com.au>
  * Makefile.in and configure.in fixes by Nilmoni Deb <ndeb@ece.cmu.edu>
  * A few syntax fixes in the plain X11 plugin

  * 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.

  * vlc core compiles under QNX RTOS. Now if anyone feels like tidying
  it and writing output and interface plugins...

  * Function prototypes for the forthcoming Darwin and MacOS X port.
  * Gtk+ interface: fixed a precision issue in the scale.
  * Qt interface: somebody pop up us the menu!!

* Changed files so that the MacOS X port compiles & runs [MacOS X port] ;
* If SDL/GTK/DSP is not available, don't compile the associated module.

  * Bug fixes and enhancements in the Gtk+/Gnome interfaces.

   o the slider should behave correctly and stop jumping here and
     there (this bug is _not_ related to Stef's similar bug)
   o added an "open network" menu (useless since the input doesn't
     handle it properly yet)
   o tried to reorganize gnome_callbacks.c and gtk_callbacks.c
   o stream date is now displayed instead of percentage
   o renamed gnome_sys.h to intf_gnome.h, and gtk_sys.h to intf_gtk.h

  * Changed documentation and package creation files.

   o added versioned conflicts/replaces to vlc-gtk (Closes Debian bug #88796)
   o removed useless or outdated documentation from doc/*
   o moved vlc.1 manpage from debian/vlc.1 to doc/vlc.1

  * Added basic Qt interface.

   o working features: slide bar, open file, toolbar, popup menu
   o added "qvlc" alias, equivalent to "vlc -I qt"
   o known issues : no "open disc" or "open network" menus yet
                    the IntfWindow class is never cleaned on destruction
                    the popup menu always pop at the middle of the screen

  * Misc fixes/updates.

   o renamed netutils.h functions from input_* to network_*
   o renamed *plst* files and functions to *playlist* (it was stupid
     from me to name them "plst")
   o made a few input error messages more meaningful
   o added -I, -A and -V short flags, corresponding to --intf, --audio
     and --video

    I got a lot of conflicts on this commit, lart me if I forgot a
  file or made old bugs reappear.

  * Everything in place for the 0.2.63 release.

  * Got rid of the CONTRIBUTORS list, and switched AUTHORS to a
    linux-kernel like author list.
  * Updated TODO list.
  * Fixed a segfault in the BeOS interface when --noaudio was specified.
  * Title and Chapter selection in the Gnome and Gtk+ interfaces.

  * Added debian/* files to help generating CSS-enabled non-US packages,
    and changed plugins/dvd/* to reflect this change.
  * Added .xpm icons (fixes lintian warnings).
  * --help output and manpage are now in sync (Closes Debian bug #87478).
  * Fixed Build-dpends entry in debian/control (Closes Debian bug #83707).

  * Changed debian/control to fix Debian bug #83707
  * Added a --disable-css configure option
  * Moved some code here and there in the DVD plugin to make it easier
    for me to build the Debian CSS-free packages.

  (note: empty CVS mails mean that a new directory has been created,
   don't forget to use the -p option if you cvs update)

  * Added a plain Gtk+ port of the Gnome interface, for the gnome-impaired
    people. Gtk+ is now compiled by default, while Gnome isn't (you will
    have to add --enable-gnome when running configure)
  * Replaced -lcurses with -lncurses in configure.in.

 * Updated version number to 0.2.62. Release tonight.

 * DVD plugin is still non-functional when you don't have DVD ioctls,
   but at least it compiles under BeOS as well.
 * Minor cosmetic changes here and there.

fucking holy piece of *�$^%� !

  * Ported Glide and MGA plugins to the new module API. MGA never worked,
    so this didn't make it work better.
  * Started thinking about built-in modules, and added some code to
    make it easier eventually.
  * Added Oct in the AUTHORS file.
  * Fixed a mistake in configure.in.
  * All your base are belong to us.
  * Fixed a bug in src/misc/modules which prevented loading modules
    when launched from the Tracker.
  * Fixed a similar bug in src/video_output/video_text.c.
  * BeOS CSS support, thanks to Markus Kuespert <ltlBeBoy@beosmail.com>
    who ported the Linux DVD ioctls. We can now read encrypted DVDs
    under BeOS ! Woohoo.

  * configure.in and Makefile.in patches for better SDL support and
    support for $(bindir) $(datadir) and $(libdir) stuff, courtesy
    of Arkadiusz Miskiewicz <misiek@pld.ORG.PL>
  * Ported ggi.so to the new modules API. As for the other modules, only
    the "q" key works. Moreover, VLC doesn't exit cleanly if you close the
    GGI window.
  * Deactivated non-working widgets in the Gnome interface.
  * Added CONTRIBUTORS file.

  Hint of the day: don't expect to code quite long in your bed when sleepy.

 * Ported the framebuffer plugin to the new module API. As for most of the
   other video output modules, keyboard doesn't work. Except ^C to quit.

   The BeOS port seems to work again.

   I used this command to play an unencrypted DVD, but maybe there is a
   better solution: ./vlc dvd:/dev/disk/ide/atapi/1/master/0/raw

   Current problems: gcc doesn't like MMX-EXT instructions, and refuses
   to have register %ebx being used in the main application. Grr.

   ,-- don't trust the CVS bot, it's Sam speaking here :)
  /

 * Upgraded version number to 0.2.61. Release is today.

 * Fixed package building (both RPMs and .debs).
 * Fixed `make snapshot' rule.
 * Added some magic to filename detection. To read a DVD you now just
   need to run 'vlc dvd:/dev/hdc' for instance. Same for file:// URIs.
 * Fixed a segfault in the slider when no stream was playing.
 * Made the slider go from 0 to 100 (instead of 99 :)
 * The vlc now doesn't exit when finished playing. As a side effect of
   the playlist code being very recent, it continuously loops.

 * Fixed a segfault in the input thread creation, as well as a possible
   deadlock. This happened mostly when opening non-existing files.
 * Created input_SetStatus to do input_SetRate's job. input_SetRate will
   be used to set an arbitrary rate, for people who want to read DVDs at
   1/2.71828 times the actual speed.
 * Stubs for the ncurses control interface. No working code yet, but the
   holes just need to be filled.
 * Improved X11 support. Still not as functional as before.
 * The output window now states the method name, so that people know whether
   they are using X11 or SDL.
 * The Gnome interface is now drag'n'drop aware, you can drop a file
   on it just like Xine does (or so I guess).

 * X11 output works again. It's just the output, but it works; I now need
   to clean the code and add event handling.

 * started porting the X11 vout (still disabled)
 * a few unnoticeable changes in the Gnome intf

 * added --intf option to vlc
 * started cleaning vout_sdl.c
 * the dummy plugin works again
 * added a slider to the Gnome interface so that we can browse through streams

  There is a problem with the slider: we sometimes get unexpected async
  replies, which would mean that we don't properly lock our Xlib calls.
  Which is true. But we also get these errors when using `--vout dummy'.
  I'll investigate.

  Beginning of Interface II
 ---------------------------

 * Plugins have completely disappeared, we now only use the new module API.
 * All intf and vout modules are now independant. So far, only the Gnome
   intf module and the SDL vout module have been ported. configure.in has
   been modified to reflect the changes (x11 and dummy aren't compiled by
   default anymore, while SDL and Gnome are).

  Note that this is _not_ Interface II, it's just a step forward. For
  instance, it lacks the whole message passing scheme.

  Things that should work:

 * Right-clicking on the SDL video output window brings the Gnome menu.
 * Pause, Play, Exit, About work from the menu or from the interface window.
 * The old SDL keys still work.

   Things that are broken or may be broken:

 * Xlib calls are not locked yet, which may lead to "Unexpected async reply"
   errors, and make the vlc segfault.
 * Sound only works for the first file.
 * The SDL vout_sdl.c file is absolutely ugly and kludgey.
 * The vlc immediately quits when no filename is given as an argument. Not
   a real bug, but still annoying.
 * The Gnome menu does not work in fullscreen mode.

   Things that will come soon, maybe tomorrow:

 * Complete navigation buttons (fast forward, slow, etc.).
 * File/Open menu to add files to the playlist.
 * Return of the X11 video output for those of us who do not have SDL.
 * Textmode interface for those of us who do not have Gnome.
 * aout and vout autospawn (maybe).

structures of DVDs
-Change in configure to avoid compiling css functions on BSD.

   This commit is a bit early, but it'll save Stef, Henri and me much
 time later, when we don't have to backport modifications to input_*.c

   What's new :
    - playlist works again (still the old wrong way like Meuuh doesn't
    like, but this is going to change within a few hours)
    - input_ps, input_ts and input_dvd are now plugins, located in
    plugins/mpeg/ and plugins/dvd/

   What's broken :
    - audio output might be broken on some streams ; have to investigate

   What has changed :
    - fast/slow keys are now A/Z instead of A/S since S was already
    linked to the scale/noscale toggle.
    - `--dvd' doesn't work anymore, for the moment try to use :
     vlc --input dvd /dev/dvd
    - module bank is now less verbose ; use `--warn 1' to turn back
    verbosity on

 . version 0.2.50 for the Linux Expo
 . --overlay and --fulscreen options (only work with --vout sdl)
 . the vlc exits after the end of the stream, which prevents from having
   to kill it and relaunch it during a presentation, just script it like :

      for i in ~/mpeg/* ; do vlc --fullscreen --overlay --vout sdl $i ; done


 Yes, I know the --overlay stuff is fucking ugly. But *I* am not the one
  who redefines vout_sys_t in an interface-related source file. I won't
  change it until the vout/intf is finished being rewritten.

 Additional information: if "--overlay --fulscreen" doesn't center your
  picture, try with your screen geometry, eg:
  "--overlay --fullscreen --width 1024 --height 768"
