    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).

Sound is yet choppy (I don't know why).

  * ./include/vlc/vlc.h: changed the naming conventions for libvlc. Now
    exported functions start with VLC_ instead of vlc_ to avoid conflicts.
  * ./include/vlc/vlc.h: removed the vlc_object_t, vlc_list_t, vlc_error_t
    and vlc_t types; they are now internal types only.
  * ./include/vlc/vlc.h: merged the reentrant and non-reentrant libvlc
    calls. In non-reentrant mode, we just use 0 as the first argument. In
    reentrant mode, we use an object's ID. (see below)

Internal changes:
  * ./src/libvlc.c, ./src/misc/objects.c: instead of manipulating vlc_object_t
    pointers, we manipulate their i_object_id. When needed, an object is
    retrieved using vlc_object_get (I hope the lookup isn't too expensive,
    that's why I designed the pp_objects layout to allow log2(n) seeks).
  * ./src/misc/objects.c: activated the per-object variable storage. Unused
    yet, unless you want to try "getfoo" and "setfoo blablah" in vlc -I rc.
  * ./include/vlc_objects.h: moved the vlc_object_t and vlc_list_t definitions
    here.

Misc:
  * ./src/vlc.c, ./mozilla/vlcshell.cpp: removed inclusion of config.h in
    code portions not part of libvlc; it was just required for the
    COPYRIGHT_MESSAGE string which is now available from VLC_Version().

* src/misc/modules.c: fixed a memory leak with the "plugin-path" config option.
* modules/audio_output/directx.c, modules/audio_output/waveout.c: ported the directx
   and waveout audio plugins to the new changes in the audio output layer.
* configure.ac.in: fixes for cygwin compilation, and the gtk plugin under mingw32.

    set variable values (ash doesn't have typeset).

* configure.ac.in: vlc can now be built under cygwin with or without the
   unix emulation layer (without if you use CC="gcc -mno-cygwin").
* INSTALL.win32: doc update for cygwin build.
* modules/video_output/directx/events.c, modules/video_output/directx/directx.c,
   modules/audio_output/directx.c: compilation fixes for cygwin.

* ALL: Splitted the directx plugin into an audio and video module.

  * ./src/misc/objects.c: structure_lock is now local.
  * ./src/misc/threads.c: implemented named mutexes which provide a handy
    way to protect data across plugins which might be sharing the same
    resources. Thread-unsafe libraries come to mind, but we can imagine
    using a named mutex for configuration files, or special devices.
  * ./include/main.h: removed global_lock because of vlc_mutex_need, removed
    p_global_data because it was never used, removed structure_lock because
    it did not belong here.

  * ./modules/misc/testsuite/*: moved the null module into three test modules
    that are only built when --enable-testsuite is activated. This directory
    can be a good place for compilation tests or performance benchmarks.

* src/misc/threads.c, src/misc/win32_specific.c, include/interface.h: fixed typos.
* configure.ac.in, modules/gui/gtk/gtk.c: Added a NEED_GTK_MAIN macro to the compiler
   flags for the gtk module. When this macro isn't defined, then the gtk module
   doesn't make use of the gtk_main module. I had to do this change because the
   gtk_main trick can't work on win32 and render the whole gtk interface unusable.

    locales breakage.
  * ./src/libvlc.c: libvlc understands the VLC_VERBOSE environment variable,
    to be set between 0 and 4. Default value is 0 for a program using libvlc,
    but vlc sets it to 1 by default.
  * ./src/misc/configuration.c: -v now works the old way (-v, -vv, -vvv) as
    well as the new way (-v0, -v1, -v4). -v1 is the same as -v, and -v0 is
    the same as -q (quiet). Hope it's all understandable.

* FAQ: updated FAQ with config file issues.
* configure.ac.in: use -mms-bitfields instead of -fnative-struct for
   mingw32 gcc-3.x.
* include/interface.h, modules/misc/dummy/interface.c, modules/misc/logger/logger.c,
   modules/control/rc/rc.c: Display message on Win32 explaining how to get
   back to the GUI mode.
* src/misc/threads.c, include/vlc_threads_funcs.h: ignore the
   win9x-cv-method config option on WinNT when fast-mutex is not enabled.

       (always re-run bootstrap when configure.ac.in has changed).

Playlist is yet broken (maybe others things too)

  * ./mozilla/vlcplugin.cpp: javascript support for the Mozilla plugin.
  * debian/rules: the A52 module is now in a separate package.

Video output for QT embedded compiles. There are still some linking issues to fix, before it is usable.

* First hooks for changing the audio output plug-in and its parameters
  on-the-fly.
