  * 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

  - fixed SDL compilation, thanks to Colin.
  - disabled Altivec iDCT until it works.

  * 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.

  * Fixed a typo in the Altivec iDCT module declaration.
  * Made a few enhancements to the Makefile.

* Added warnings for ac3 mantissa (we still have problems with AC3 on
MacOS X) ;
* Renamed WriteResource to avoid a namespace clash with Darwin's
WriteResource.

  * Split audio output into several separate files to make it easier
  to debug. Removed a few redundancies as well.

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

  * Fixed Debian sparc build for real (Closes: Debian bug #89285).

  * 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   o removed useless or outdated documentation from doc/*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.

###code is dirty###
Please clean it for me :P
(or at least, tell me how to clean it)

. Slightly modified playlist base interface
  (Added a function to jump directly to an item, used for double clicking)

. Added manymanycallbacks
. Added the playlist dialog
. Added Dnd support for intf_window and the clist1
  . support URI and plain file(s)/folder(s)
. Added "show/hide main window" menuitem in intf_popup
. Added bugs :P

Enjoy and please bug report.

for debian/sid users

  * 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.

   Commited BeOS changes by Richard Shepherd and Tony Castley.

   include/video_output.h
    * Added boolean_t b_YCbr to vout_thread_s structure to flag YUV-YCbCr
      decoding needed instead of YUV-RGB
    * Will be removed later when video_output.c rewritten

   src/video_output.c
    * vout_CreateThread() initialises b_YCbr to zero

   plugins/beos/*
    * New BeOS video plugin that supports hardware overlays and new
      MediaPlayer compatible interface

   plugins/*
    * Added YUV-YCbCr transforms

  * 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.

(I've chosen 32 now), that doesn't use any memcpy anymore and is also much
faster. It is ready now for cell positioning in multi-angle DVD (to come
soon).

-DVD specific netlist adapted to 2048 bytes long blocks that contain
several data_packets.

-Modification in mpeg_system.c to use p_payload_start instead of
p_buffer (necessary for DVD plugin). It does not break other plugins
since they set p_payload_start to p_buffer

-New field i_read_once in input_thread_s to be able to read more than
the TS related 7 packets ; i_read_once is set to INPUT_READ_ONCE by
defaults but plugins can change it during initialisation.

Please check that nothing is broken :)

  * The Gtk+ interface is now built as a Debian package as well. The Gnome
    package depends on it because of the icon and menu entry.
  * Added an intf_WarnHexDump() function to do raw hexadecimal dumps of
    memory areas. For debugging purposes or for real men, as you wish.
  * Lots of tidying in dvd_ioctl.c, a few comments added.
  * Better error handling in the subpicture decoder.
  * Tidied video_spu.c. More to come later.
  * Fixed subtitle displaying. Will soon work in overlay mode as well.

  (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.

  * Forgot to fix the vlc.spec.
  * Added Bozo to the author list.

 * 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.

* Adding authors
* Prepared to add asm imdct and downmix

  * 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 :)

related file with 100% reliability (great change that should make DVDs
with binaries and extra stuff work with vlc).

-Correction of a bug in ifo reading that falsified the adress of
video titles.

-Changed the method for selecting title at start. It is _not_ reliable
though, but it is better than the preceding one.

 * 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).

 * Should have fixed the dependency generater for some plugins.

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

  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).

  GNU/Linux options ;
* Changed fseek() to fseeko() for 64-bit offsets ;
* Reset frame predictors on a stream discontinuity.

   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
