  * ./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.

   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.

  * ./plugins/win32/mainframe.dfm: swapped two mixed up tooltips.
  * ./Makefile: fixed make dist and make distclean.
  * ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c: compilation fix.
  * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_callbacks.c: fixed ejection code.
  * ./plugins/text/ncurses.c: fixed compilation of the ncurses plugin.
  * ./vlc.spec: updated specfile.

  * ./plugins/gtk/gtk.glade, plugins/gtk/gnome.glade, ./plugins/kde/kde.cpp:
    replaced the outdated author list with a "VideoLAN Team" entry.
  * ./debian/rules, ./debian/control: deactivated the vlc-kde package because
    it does not work, and removed the vlc-a52 package because liba52 is
    statically linked into vlc.
  * ./debian/control: added more helpful package descriptions.
  * ALL: changed version to 0.3.0. Yeah, it's coming.
  * ./Makefile: fixed make dist.

  * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: fixed a vout4 image starvation bug.
  * ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c: we look for libdvdcss.so.2 as well as -.so.1.
  * ./configure.in: BSD/OS fixes thanks to Steven M. Schultz.
  * ./Makefile: renamed the `snapshot' rule to `dist'.
  * ./Makefile: removed the `snapshot-nocss' rule which isn't needed anymore.

  * ALL: removed libdvdcss from the vlc tree.
  * ALL: removed libdvdread from the vlc tree.
  * ./acconfig.h: removed this file.
  * ./plugins/dvd/dummy_dvdcss.c: merged this file into dvd.c.
  * ./AUTHORS: moved a few gentlemen to the libdvdcss AUTHORS file.

  * ./plugins/aa: aalib output plugin courtesy of Sigmund Augdal.
  * ./configure.in: fixed a few bashisms.
  * ./src/misc/configuration.c: fixed build under Solaris.
  * ./TODO: updated todo list.

  * ./configure.in: BeOS compilation fixes.
  * ./debian/rules: activated (broken) KDE interface.
  * ./plugins/access/http.c: fixed a segfault.
  * ./plugins/alsa/aout_alsa.c: fixed a segfault.

  * ./BUGS: updated bug list.
  * ./configure.in: ./configure --help should be a lot clearer now.

* Just renamed the liba52_adec plugin into a52 to comply with the naming
convention used by the other plugins.

    <sigmunau@stud.ntnu.no>, activate with --enable-lirc.
  * ./configure.in: put liba52_adec in a builtin for PIC/non-PIC reasons.

  * ./debian/rules: fixed the vlc-arts and vlc-mad package builds.

  ./debian/control: updated list of supported architectures.
  ./share/*: added 16x16 and 32x32 versions of PNG icons.

  * ./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 :-)

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

  * 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.

  * 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.

  * xvideo.so is now built in by default. Mixing PIC and non-PIC code was not
  very nice.
  * Fixed compilation errors in src/interface/main.c when the compiler did
  not support SSE or 3DNow! inline assembly.

  * 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).

  * 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.

  * libdvdcss* packages are now a bit more policy-compliant.

  * 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.

  * Updated version numbers for imminent release.
  * Fixed the --with-dvdcss flag:
     o --with-dvdcss - build libdvdcss, link statically (also default behaviour)
     o --with-dvdcss=local-static - build libdvdcss, link statically
     o --with-dvdcss=local-shared - build libdvdcss, link dynamically
     o --with-dvdcss=/foo/bar - don't build libdvdcss, use libdvdcss in /foo/bar
  * Fixed an omission in the dvdcss.h header.

  * Fixed the BeOS compile typo.
  * The ALSA plugin is back.
  * A gift for Gildas: plugins don't rely on backlinking any more. The
    drawback is the dirty magic in include/modules_export.h which has to
    be included whenever a module needs one of the functions in it. But
     a) we should less and less rely on those functions
     b) no plugin code modification was needed

   The BeOS and MacOS X modules may be broken when compiled as plugins,
   I'll check this later when I can reboot under BeOS.

  * Updated debian control files and disabled ALSA for this version.

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

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

  * 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.

  * fixed headers for FreeBSD compilation.
  * fixed debian/rules for non-x86 packages (Closes: Debian bug #88583).

  * 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).

  * 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.

  * 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.
