  * ./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.

    src/interface/intf_eject.c, src/misc/threads.c: win32 compilation fix.
  * ./plugins/directx/aout_directx.c, plugins/directx/vout_directx.c,
    ./plugins/directx/vout_events.c: the DirectX notification and event threads
    now use the vlc_thread_create / vlc_thread_ready scheme. Untested.
  * ./configure.in: added a check for inttypes.h and sys/int_types.h.
  * ./configure.in: fixed the HTTP plugin compilation under BeOS.
  * ./plugins/network/ipv6.c: reactivated IPv6 module.

   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.

    fixes.

* Dropped dependancy on autoconf 2.52.

  * ALL: removed underscores from option names and made a few options more
    self-explanatory, for instance --input_channel becomes --audio-channel;
    run vlc -H to see what has changed.
  * ALL: replaced many occurences of "plugin" with the word "module".
  * ./src/interface/main.c: moved all satellite-specific configuration options
    to the satellite plugin.
  * ./po/*: updated translations.

  * ./configure.in, ./plugins/network/ipv6.c: support for the GNU glibc
    extension gethostbyname2(), thanks to Thomas Graf.

  * ./AUTHORS: added people locations, just for fun.
  * ./configure.in: disabled SSE plugins when using mingw32.
  * ./src/misc/configuration.c: disabled the AltiVec warning message on the
    PowerPC platform because it was misleading.

  * ./configure.in: added --enable-intfwin to enable the win32 interface and
    --with-bcbuilder to tell make where to find Borland C++ Builder.

* introduced a memalign wrapper that will align the memory manually if
  memalign doesn't exist.

  void *vlc_memalign( size_t align, size_t size, void **pp_orig )
  where the return value is the aligned pointer and *pp_orig is the pointer
  that has to be freed afterwards.

  the arithmetic I'm doing on the pointer to align it is not portable to
  64bits architectures. If someone knows how to something portable, please
  tell me ( and no I don't want to do if(sizeof(void *) == blabla) ).

  Other little problem, I was planning to use posix_memalign by default in
  the wrapper implementation but it doesn't work (someone can tell me what
  I'm doing wrong ?)

* re-enabled the sse plugins on win32 as we don't have anymore alignment
  issues.

* fixed typo in vout_directx.c

* asm memcpyaltivec for Linux/PPC

  * ./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.

* HTTP files now find the EOF (though HTTP input is still broken)

  * ./plugins/ogg/*: added preliminary files for an Ogg/Vorbis decoder a
    contributor is currently working on.

  * 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.

* moved GetConfigurationFromCmdLine() into configuration.c and renamed it
   into config_LoadCmdLine()
* config_GetHomeDir doesn't use getpwuid_r anymore as this was creating
   some problems on solaris. This function now uses getpwuid and is called
   only once to store the home directory into the p_main structure.

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

  * ./plugins/chroma/i420_rgb8.c: plain C 8 bpp transformation.
  * ./plugins/chroma/i420_rgb16.c: plain C 24/32 bpp transformations.
  * ./plugins/ggi/ggi.c: support for 8 bpp displays.
  * ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c: support for 8 bpp displays.
  * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: support for 8 bpp displays.
  * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: fixed a segfault.

  * ./configure.in: more modules are plugins.
  * ./src/misc/configuration.c: changed ~/.VideoLan/vlc to ~/.videolan/vlcrc,
    and a few cosmetic changes (sorry Gildas for the butchery).
  * ./plugins/chroma/i420_rgb16.c: C version of the I420 to RV15/16 chroma.

* This the last piece of the new configuration module. You can now save your
configuration options (only from the gtk/gnome interface for now). The config
file will be saved as ~/.VideoLan/vlc

It's not quite yet finished (well there are a few small details to sort out),
but I'm going away for the week-end and I wanted to commit this before so you
can all have a play with it :)

  * ./plugins/dsp/aout_dsp.c: OpenBSD compilation fix.
  * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: fixed a segfault on exit.

  * ./include/threads.h: support for the State Threads Library, a userland
    threads library (http://state-threads.sourceforge.net/). Useless to most
    people, but can be handy to debug stuff. Activate with `--enable-st'.

  * Fixed a quite old bug in the audio output which made the sound stutter
    when wrapping around the audio output fifo.
  * Lots of simplifications in the audio output, got rid of b_stereo.

  * ./configure.in: removed a bashism.
  * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: support for systems without shm.h.
  * QNX compilation fixes here and there; the qnx plugin still doesn't work.

   * Got rid of TRACE and intf_DbgMsg which were seldom used anyway.
   * All intf_*Msg functions now write to stderr.
   * Implemented a message queue interface plugins can subscribe to.
   * Wrote the logger interface plugin. Usage:
      vlc -I logger:filename.log
   * Lots of fixes in the SPU renderer.

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

  * ./src/misc/modules_plugin.h: fixed a missing function initialization
    which made decoder plugins segfault in GetChunk calls.
  * ./configure.in: proper soundcard.h check from Yves Duret.

*Updated local libdvdread, so that it does not depend on libdvdcss
(ala dummy_dvdcss) and modified configure to reflect changes.

* mad PTS should finally be accurate
* Some configure changes.

  * ./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.

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

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

  * 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.

  * 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.
