(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.

 * 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.

fucking holy piece of *�$^%� !

  * 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 :)
  /

 * 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).

 * X11 output works again. It's just the output, but it works; I now need
   to clean the code and add event handling.

 * started porting the X11 vout (still disabled)
 * a few unnoticeable changes in the Gnome intf

 * added --intf option to vlc
 * started cleaning vout_sdl.c
 * the dummy plugin works again
 * added a slider to the Gnome interface so that we can browse through streams

  There is a problem with the slider: we sometimes get unexpected async
  replies, which would mean that we don't properly lock our Xlib calls.
  Which is true. But we also get these errors when using `--vout dummy'.
  I'll investigate.

  Beginning of Interface II
 ---------------------------

 * Plugins have completely disappeared, we now only use the new module API.
 * All intf and vout modules are now independant. So far, only the Gnome
   intf module and the SDL vout module have been ported. configure.in has
   been modified to reflect the changes (x11 and dummy aren't compiled by
   default anymore, while SDL and Gnome are).

  Note that this is _not_ Interface II, it's just a step forward. For
  instance, it lacks the whole message passing scheme.

  Things that should work:

 * Right-clicking on the SDL video output window brings the Gnome menu.
 * Pause, Play, Exit, About work from the menu or from the interface window.
 * The old SDL keys still work.

   Things that are broken or may be broken:

 * Xlib calls are not locked yet, which may lead to "Unexpected async reply"
   errors, and make the vlc segfault.
 * Sound only works for the first file.
 * The SDL vout_sdl.c file is absolutely ugly and kludgey.
 * The vlc immediately quits when no filename is given as an argument. Not
   a real bug, but still annoying.
 * The Gnome menu does not work in fullscreen mode.

   Things that will come soon, maybe tomorrow:

 * Complete navigation buttons (fast forward, slow, etc.).
 * File/Open menu to add files to the playlist.
 * Return of the X11 video output for those of us who do not have SDL.
 * Textmode interface for those of us who do not have Gnome.
 * aout and vout autospawn (maybe).

structures of DVDs
-Change in configure to avoid compiling css functions on BSD.

   This commit is a bit early, but it'll save Stef, Henri and me much
 time later, when we don't have to backport modifications to input_*.c

   What's new :
    - playlist works again (still the old wrong way like Meuuh doesn't
    like, but this is going to change within a few hours)
    - input_ps, input_ts and input_dvd are now plugins, located in
    plugins/mpeg/ and plugins/dvd/

   What's broken :
    - audio output might be broken on some streams ; have to investigate

   What has changed :
    - fast/slow keys are now A/Z instead of A/S since S was already
    linked to the scale/noscale toggle.
    - `--dvd' doesn't work anymore, for the moment try to use :
     vlc --input dvd /dev/dvd
    - module bank is now less verbose ; use `--warn 1' to turn back
    verbosity on

 . version 0.2.50 for the Linux Expo
 . --overlay and --fulscreen options (only work with --vout sdl)
 . the vlc exits after the end of the stream, which prevents from having
   to kill it and relaunch it during a presentation, just script it like :

      for i in ~/mpeg/* ; do vlc --fullscreen --overlay --vout sdl $i ; done


 Yes, I know the --overlay stuff is fucking ugly. But *I* am not the one
  who redefines vout_sys_t in an interface-related source file. I won't
  change it until the vout/intf is finished being rewritten.

 Additional information: if "--overlay --fulscreen" doesn't center your
  picture, try with your screen geometry, eg:
  "--overlay --fullscreen --width 1024 --height 768"

I have only tested it on my computer ; so I don't know if it work
elsewhere, particularly on BSD and BeOS.

 . changed program version to 0.2.5 (preparing 0.3.0 release).
 . changed codename to Urumov
 . cleaned a lot of stuff in the Debian package generation.

  If anyone objects with the versioning scheme, let's fight in the
  dirt and sort that out. Or change it yourself.

  Debian packages can be tried here: http://armitage.via.ecp.fr/~sam/vlc/

    The motion compensation routines are now modules as well ; choose your
  implementation with `--motion motion', `--motion motionmmx' or
  `--motion motionmmxext'. Of course, the best implementation is chosen
  if you don't ask for any. There doesn't seem to be any performance hit
  due to the move to shared libs, which is a good thing. Please test
  actively if you have time, though.

    Updated --help result, manpage, INSTALL document, and a few files.

    I moved vdec_motion.h and vpar_blocks.h back to /include because they
  will be needed to build motion compensation modules, but perhaps we don't
  need to export everything which is in these files.

    /src/video_decoder/ now has only one .c file, perhaps it could now be
  merged with video_parser ?

* Removed -fargument-noalias-global which causes problems with as (???).

   need to touch plugins/idct/idct_mmxext.c (ok, the filenames suck).

 . the IDCT functions are now located in modules : the classic IDCT,
   our optimized IDCT, and MMX IDCT.
 . cosmetic changes for modules (pf_* instead of p_*)
 . fixes to the BeOS and dummy modules

   WARNING: a new directory has been added, which means you have to
   use `cvs update -dP' to update ; files have been removed , which means
   you either have to run `make distclean' or remove the .deps directory,
   and the configure script has changed, which means you have to run it
   again. Don't complain before having checked this :)

   Note about the IDCT modules: there is no way to choose the one we
   use, but you may remove the module in lib/ to prevent it from being
   loaded. The preference order is : MMX, Optimized, Classic.

 . fixed a warning under FreeBSD (dlerror() is a const char*, not a char*).
 . made configure script look for the bswap assembly instruction (using
   AC_TRY_COMPILE makes sure the compiler will really accept it).

 . should compile & run on Solaris with ./configure --disable-dsp
    (tested on puma)
 . removed most SYS_SOLARIS #ifdef's in favour of more generic tests
 . updated example ./configure line in INSTALL file
 . now we only load modules that end with ".so"
 . null module is compiled by default

* --enable-sdl and some others are now --with-sdl[=name] to supply an
optional library name ;
* deleted all unnecessary #include <sys/uio.h> ;
* /usr/include is now searched when looking for libraries and headers.

It seems to compile and run on BSD. Under Linux Sam's latest commit makes
vlc crash on startup, so I can't really tell, but hey it compiles.

 . added the Null Module, the module that does nothing but that is going
    to be of great help for debugging my module code.

Generation d'un makefile presque correct pour les vieilles versions de make
Nettoyage: gestion des dependances pour les plugins, suppressions de pas
mal de redondances, options de compilations coherentes, etc...

. Modification du configure pour remmettre le x11 par d�faut, et pour
montrer que ppro et mmx sont par d�fauts maintenant.

buy real processors).

 * Fixed a bug which made frames go backwards with some displays (the
   video_decoder thread is now niced).
 * Made use of intf_WarnMsg() in the most needed places.
Also simplified the synchro algorithm and fixed a bug with non-(5/1) streams.
Fixed the optimizations in the configure stuff.
Warning : this release needs a full rebuild (make clean; make).
Warning : I might have broken the BeOS port, could somebody check ?

- Cosmetic changes to alsa.c
- Configure now checks alsa is present

Added : alsa support
Todo : - test it on several cards
       - support more than Stereo s16
       - make configure check for alsa

you check I did'nt make a mess of it ?).
* Added todo things in the TODO file.

  question, Stef ? :)

 . fixed the aliases install
 . renamed an inconsistent variable in src/input/input_file.c

  * temporarily got rid of vlc.channels.
  * added notice in debian/control about unencrypted DVDs.
  * fixed PowerPC .deb build.
