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.

 * fixes for the Qt plugin compilation under Debian

 * heavy butchering in the CSS and DVD ioctl code to put all architecture-
   dependent code in dvd_ioctl.c

 * added almost fully-functional /dev/dvd driver for MacOS X in
   extras/DVDioctl; to build it:

    % cd extras/DVDioctl
    % pbxbuild
    % kextload build/DVDioctl.kext # note: kextload has to be run as root

   be aware that the license for the DVDioctl kernel extension is
   not GPL but APSL, because I borrowed some code from the Darwin kernel.

  * 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
