    somewhat works under Wine (if you force internal buffers to 8bpp), but
    doesn't work under Win2k. Any hints welcome.
  * ./configure.ac.in: activated the wingdi plugin by default.

* modules/codec/Modules.am, configure.ac.in, modules/codec/vorbis.c: added
   a tremor decoder module using libvorbisidec (aka tremor) from xiph.org.
   This module allows decoding vorbis audio on hardware without a fpu
   (--enable-tremor).

* modules/LIST: added entries for tremor and theora.

  * ./modules/access/file.c: the file access plugin gets the real file size
    under WinCE.
  * ./modules/audio_filter/converter/u8tofixed32.c: added this conversion
    filter to play some WAV files without an FPU.
  * ./bootstrap: bootstrap --update-vc doesn't rely on the Makefile's presence.

* configure.ac.in: temporary hack for libdvbpsi detection.

* configure.ac.in, modules/gui/wxwindows/wxwindows.cpp: other compilation
   fixes for the wxwindows interface on win32.

* modules/codec/theora.c, configure.ac.in, modules/codec/Modules.am: new
   theora codec plugin.
   This plugin is based on the experimental theora codec from the Xiph.Org
   foundation (http://www.theora.org/). Because the theora bitstream
   specifications are likely to change in the near future, this plugin won't
   be compiled by default. If you want to test/develop theora with vlc, you'll
   need to configure it with --enable-theora and also make sure you've got a
   fresh libogg from cvs.

* modules/demux/ogg.c: modified to handle theora and tarkin bitstreams.

* modules/codec/tarkin.c: fixed a few typos.

* configure.ac.in, modules/codec/Modules.am, modules/codec/tarkin.c: added
   an experimental tarkin video decoder. You will need to specify the tarkin
   tree you want to use with --with-tarkin-tree=.

   Warning: Tarkin is still in very early development stage, so this plugin isn't
   actually usefull unless you intend to do some development on tarkin itself.

* added a wxwindows interface using the wxWindows cross-platform GUI framework.
   The interface is quite basic for now but should be functional anyway.
   (you need to have wxWindows >= 2.3.0 installed to use this plugin)

MicroDVD, SubRIP, SSA subtitle format should work...
 Options: --sub-file <subtitle file> [--sub-fps, --sub-delay --sub-format].

 * modules/demux/avi : make use of subtitle parser.
 * modules/demux/asf : display movie length. (It will not work with live
streams of course).

 modules/codec/spudec : use i_dts to send end of display time for subtitle.
(Yes it's ugly, but it works :)

* configure.ac.in, modules/audio_output/arts.c, modules/audio_output/esd.c:
   fixed the arts and esd audio plugins after the recent changes to aout3
   (untested).

* configure.ac.in, modules/audio_output/directx.c, modules/audio_output/waveout.c:
   fixed the waveout and directx audio plugins after the recent changes to aout3.

* configure.ac.in: fixed a few typos regarding LDFLAGS_access_*. Re-enabled
   the oss plugin as it seems to be working fine.
* src/audio_output/input.c: fixed an obscure bug... (strange one though:
   int foo = -1; unsigned int bar = 2; __MAX( foo, bar) == -1 ).

and is replaced by two members : i_physical_channels and i_original_channels.
i_physical_channels describes the channels which are effectively present
in the stream (at the current point of the aout pipeline), whereas
i_original_channels represents the channels we used to constitute the
stream. For instance a mono stream (FRONT_CENTER) may emanate from a
FRONT_LEFT channel of a STEREO stream.

Additionally, this contains hooks to dynamically select the audio device
and the channels configuration. In order to do that, all aout plugins,
and all interface plug-ins need to be adapted. Currently only SDL
(partially OSS) and the rc interface have been adapted, please use them
as a guide. Other aout plug-ins have been temporarily disabled.

IMPORTANT : if you need a working sound output, DO NOT UPDATE YOUR TREE
for several days until we fix that.

* modules/misc/network/ipv4.c: Fixed a long-standing segfault when saving
  preferences and asking for multicast.

* Re-enabled float32 mixer (huh?).

 modules/demux/demuxdump.c : a little demux that dump raw stream.
(should work with all access...)

the playlist. Currently only autodetects files that start with #EXTM3U
otherwise you'll have to force it.

  * ./modules/access/http.c: fixed a segfault (unchecked strstr return value).
  * ./src/input/input_ext-plugins.c: removed platform-specific code and put
    it in plugins. This leads to some code duplication but I have an evil
    plan to get rid of that, too.

* src/extras/libc.c: fixed typo.
* configure.ac.in: compilation fix on win32 for the mms access plugin (the
   plugin is linked with ws2_32).

 * modules/access/mms : add MMS (Microsoft Media Streaming) access (Support
only TCP, I will try to add UDP and HTTP as well).
 There are some problems with streams selections and we cannot seek, but
anyway it seems to work. (Usefull for some radio web)
 * other: enable mms access by default.

    yet so there's little that can be tested, but threads work at least.
  * ./src/extras/libc.c: renamed strndup.c to libc.c because a few other
    libc functions were added (strcasecmp, atof, getenv...).

    work is still needed for missing functions. I only touched libvlc for
    the moment, plugins will come in a long long while.
  * ./bootstrap: moved MSVC project files generation here; use --update-msvc.

    file from the makefile.
  * ./msvc/*: moved the MSVC files here.
  * ./src/extras/*: moved the extra code here (used to be in src/misc,
    extras/GNUgetopt and extras/Win32_msvc).
  * ./include/*: a few warning fixes.

* configure.ac.in, modules/audio_filter/converter/*: added a s8tofloat32.c and
   u8tofloat32.c converter.
* modules/codec/araw.c: modified to also decode u8 pcm audio samples.

between sound quality and speed

    from xvid.org; compile with --enable-xvid --with-xvid-tree=..., run with
    --codec xvid,any (the priority is lower than ffmpeg's for the now).

    todo list: direct rendering, better buffer handling, see why only I frames
               are rendered OK here... probably more.

* configure.ac.in: libvorbis depends on libogg.
* include/vlc_threads.h: changed the different threads priorities to optimize
   audio and video quality as well as responsiveness.
* modules/audio_output/waveout.c modules/audio_output/directx.c: waveout and
   directx will now use the float32 format if available. Various tweaks for
   better performance.

    if it was found.
  * ./modules/access/dvdplay/tools.c: we don't try to stat the device if it
    looks like a Win32 drive.
  * ./src/misc/messages.c: we only flush stderr under Win32.

* ALL: New ogg demux and vorbis codec modules for preliminary support of
   ogg/vorbis streams.

* Miscellaneous small fixes.

 * modules/demux/asf/*: some clean up

    under platforms without libintl such as Win32. Use --with-included-gettext
    to test. Might break compilation on systems I don't have access to.

* Fixed detection of VCD support under OS X.2.

* modules/access/vcd/*, configure.ac.in:
   - Major changes to allow reading vcd images directly from the hard drive
      (you need a .cue and .bin file).
   - Removed duplicated code by merging ioctl_GetTrackCount and ioctl_GetSectors.
   - Implemented necessary ioctls for Win9x/NT/2K/XP.

 * wav : demux for wav file( should work with raw pcm, mp3 or a52 stream ) but
untested under big endian machine(for pcm).

All are compiled by default.

  * ./include/main.h: removed p_vlc->i_status because it was not sufficient
    to represent all the possible states of p_vlc; each part should be tested
    separately upon destruction.
  * ./src/misc/objects.c: fixed a signed/unsigned bug that prevented creation
    of VLC_OBJECT_GENERIC objects.

  * ./src/misc/variables.c: added the VLC_VAR_COMMAND type which is simply a
    variable that stores a function pointer, and calls it when var_Get is
    called for it. The function argument is taken in val.psz_string.
  * ./src/misc/objects.c: vlc_dumpstructure and vlc_liststructure are no longer
    exported to the rest of the program; instead, they're VLC_VAR_COMMAND vars
    ("tree" and "list").
  * ./modules/control/rc/rc.c: moved a few commands to VLC_VAR_COMMAND vars.

* configure.ac.in: fix for the mingw32 build. The gtk plugin may also need mingwex.
* modules/demux/mpeg/ts.c: added an #include <stdint.h> to make mingw32 happy when
   compiled with libdvbpsi.
* Makefile.am: fixed dependency problem with share/vlc_win32_rc.rc.

* configure.ac.in: fix for the mingw32 build. We check if we need to explicitly
   link with the mingwex library (needed for dirent support with new mingw32
   runtimes).
