AUTHORS: updated my entry

   is in reality the name of the file (compatibility with existing
   m3u files).

     (Put both artist and name, protect comma with \ )

 * old: convert

(da big courmischage)

   escaped with the E_() macro, to avoid namespace collisions between plug-ins.

* src/misc/vlm.c, modules/demux/playlist/m3u.c, modules/services_discovery/sap.c: portability fixes.

* modules/demux/playlist, src/input/stream.c: fixed a shitload of bugs in playlist demuxers + simplified a lot.

These files can contain a single line with a rtsp:// link which VLC sometimes is able to handle.

for MPEG-4 unicasted RealMedia streams.

 * Added common functions for handling relative paths in playlist files
 * Module declaration for pls import module
modules/demux/playlist/m3u.c:
 * implemented m3u import module
modules/demux/playlist/pls.c:
 * new pls import module
modules/demux/playlist/playlist.h:
 * common prototypes
modules/demux/playlist/Modules.ac
 * activated pls module

* New playlist import/export system:
   -export plugin in misc/playlist (contains one module for each file type)
   -open plugin = special demuxer2, that can be opened from the command
    line or the graphical interface.
  NB: the demuxer "playlist" is forced to earn speed, but this does not
  work yet, as we have a demux2

* modules/gui/wxwindows: use the new import/export.

* src/playlist/group.c : fixed boundary check

* src/playlist/item-ext.c: correctly reset stuff when clearing the playlist

* src/libvlc.h, modules/audio_output: added a global --spdif config option
   to allow using the spdif output by default if available.
* modules/misc/dummy/*: on win32 added a quiet mode that doesn't display
   a dos command box.
* modules/control/rc/rc.c: on win32 enabled the echo mode and the
   backspace key.
* modules/codec/mpeg_audio.c: fixed a sync bug.

* 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.

    waveout, directx, qnx, beos, win32, macosx, and the AltiVec modules.
  * ALL: removed mention of AC3 in favour of A52.
  * ./configure.in, ./Makefile*: modules can now be built deeper than 1
    directory. As a consequence, the build is even slower (but I'm fixing
    this) and make clean doesn't work anymore.

    about 2000 lines of code.

    I could not test everything on every architecture, so please report
    any module breakage (especially on BeOS, OSX and QNX).

  * ./src/libvlc.c, ./include/vlc/vlc.h: created reentrant versions of the
    libvlc API.
  * ./src/vlc.c: vlc uses the non-reentrant libvlc functions.
  * ./mozilla/vlcplugin.c: the mozilla plugin uses the reentrant functions.
  * ./debian/*: created packages for libvlc0-dev.

    for p_intf->b_die to know when they are supposed to terminate p_intf. This
    will allow to spawn interface plugins on the fly.

    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.

* on win32 the rc plugin opens a new console.
