* A placeholder for the Italian translation,
* A bug fix for mono streams on stereo speakers,
* A fix for a possible crash in the FTP access,
* Correct coordinates in OS X fullscreen modes (closing #47),
* Cosmetic fixes.
autodetect S/PDIF hardware support and the audio output plug-in chooses
the best one. Of course it probably breaks existing output modules, see
oss.c for hints :).
Also include minor tweaks which will entitle us to decode and output 5.1
audio. It may break existing plug-ins, too. See
audio_output.c:aout_FormatNbChannels for hints.
unnoticeable apart from the extra dependency on autoconf, automake and
gettextize. See the new HACKING file for some information, especially if
you don't run Linux.
The current strategy is to have the configure script generate a nice
automake Makefile from Makefile.am, and then clobber it with our good
old dirty Makefile. Muahaha :-)
- added messages and playlist panel
- simple dock menu (play, pause, stop)
- context menu in video view
- localization support: http://nanocrew.net/vlc/vlc-osx-ja.png
- no longer broken :)
CONFIG_*.
* ./include/configuration.h, ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c,
./plugins/filter/transform.c, ./plugins/filter/distort.c,
./plugins/filter/deinterlace.c: added an ADD_STRING_FROM_LIST()
configuration macro.
* ./include/modules.h, ./include/video_output.h,
./src/video_output/video_output.c, ./plugins/filters/*: added a
VOUT_FILTER capability. Having a clear distinction between VOUTs and
VOUT_FILTERs allows us to get rid of ugly hacks. The filters are also
stackable now (use --filter=foo:bar:foo etc..).
* ./include/configuration.h, ./src/libvlc.h, ./src/libvlc.c: clean-up +
added an ADD_USAGE_HINT() configuration macro.
* ./src/misc/objects.c: we do not hang on attempt to destroy an object with
a non-zero reference count, but we still complain.
* ./plugins/gtk/gtk_control.c, plugins/gtk/gtk_playlist.c: most controls such
as play, pause, stop, next, fast etc. work again.
* ./plugins/gtk/gnome_*: got rid of lots of useless wrappers which were a
workaround for a bug in Glade. Instead, bootstrap.sh does the Glade fixes.
* ./plugins/ffmpeg/ffmpeg.c: if there is already a video output with the
appropriate properties, we use it.
* ./src/interface/interface.c: interfaces are no longer attached only to
p_vlc.
* ./src/libvlc.c, ./src/misc/modules.c, ./src/playlist/playlist.c,
./src/input/input.c: improvements in the playlist handling (not quite that
yet though).
(ported from v0_4_1_branch)
* ./configure.in, ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_ts.c: fixed libdvbpsi handling.
* ./src/misc/configuration.c: fixed the --nofoo option handling.
* ./src/interface/main.c: fixed two compilation warnings under Solaris.
bug which might have been the cause of crashes.
* ./plugins/filter/crop.c: attempt at an automatic border cropping filter,
using "--filter crop --autocrop".
* ./vlc.spec: added missing filters to the RPM generation.
* ./src/misc/objects.c: commented all functions.
* ./src/misc/objects.c: implemented vlc_object_find( , , FIND_ANYWHERE).
* ./src/misc/objects.c: renamed vlc_object_unlink to vlc_object_detach.
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.
vlc_thread_create / vlc_thread_ready scheme to signal readiness.
* ./src/misc/objects.c: prevent the creation of a too small vlc_object_t.
* ./include/vdec_ext-plugins.h: removed the vdec_thread_t declaration, which
belongs to plugins/mpeg_vdec.
* ./ChangeLog: imported the 0_4_1_branch changelog.
* ./plugins/chroma/i420_yuy2.h: imported a 0_4_1_branch fix.
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.
* ALL: removed underscores from option names and made a few options more
self-explanatory, for instance --input_channel becomes --audio-channel;
run vlc -H to see what has changed.
* ALL: replaced many occurences of "plugin" with the word "module".
* ./src/interface/main.c: moved all satellite-specific configuration options
to the satellite plugin.
* ./po/*: updated translations.
* ./po/fr.po: completed the french translation.
* ./plugins/gtk/gtk.glade, ./plugins/gtk/gnome.glade: synchronized a few
strings between the Gtk+ and GNOME modules to avoid duplicate translations.
* ./src/interface/main.c: we now set LC_CTYPE to get the right charset.
* ./src/misc/configuration.c: lots of simplifications in the code.
* ./po/vlc/pot: updated translations.
<endymion@ca2.so-net.ne.jp>.
* ./plugins/gtk/gtk_callbacks.c: fixed disc ejection code.
* ./ChangeLog: how about a nice cup of 870 lines of ChangeLog for the 0.3.0
release?
* ./src/misc/modules.c: shortcuts for --intf work again, gvlc launches the
Gtk interface, qvlc launches the Qt interface, etc.
* ./plugins/fx/scope.c: we now have sound together with --aout scope.
* Removed duplicate function checks from configure.in.
* Added extra magic to Makefile.modules so that the module Makefiles
are now ridiculously simple. And I mean *simple*. Check it! This will
make a possible switch to full autoconf/automake a lot easier.
* Added the vlc version name to the plugin symbols, to be sure we only load
plugins with the same version number. A nasty consequence is that you
need to rebuild your tree after midnight if you are using a CVS tree :-)
* Got rid of modules_export.h by #defining exported functions in the same
header as their prototype.
* Added modules_inner.h and other commonly used .h files to common.h so
there are less and less files to include, and renamed common.h to
<videolan/vlc.h>.
* First modifications to the module handling system towards my ultimate
goal to get rid of the *_Probe functions. Got rid of TestMethod and
TestCPU, as well as src/misc/tests.c.
* Wrote the chroma plugin handling functions. No YUV functions have been
ported yet because it'ls a lot of work, but the core system works, I
tried it with a naive yv12->rgb16 plugin (which will disappear when the
real functions are ready).
* Made a lot of functions in dvd_summary.c one-liners to avoid wasting
too many output lines.
* Fixed a segfault in input_dvd.c:DVDInit.
* Added a fixfiles.sh script in plugins/gtk to be run after Glade has
generated its C files.
* Did some work on the KDE interface to make it suck a bit less. It still
segfaults, but at least it runs and it looks less ugly.
* RGB SDL rendering works again, though in 16bpp only.
* Made plugins/vcd/linux_cdrom_tools.c independent of any vlc structure
so that it'll be easily put in a library. Maybe libdvdcss?
* Fixed VCD date display.
* Merged vout_xvideo.c, vout_x11.c and vout_common.c into xcommon.c.
* Wrote non-Shm XVideo output.
* Made X11 output work again. Still pretty unstable, only works for 16bpp.
* Additional french translation in po/fr.po. Any taker for the rest?
* Fixed a segfault in video_output.c when the allocated pictures were
not direct buffers.
* If $DISPLAY isn't set, don't try to run the Gtk+ interface.
* Replaced 48x48 .xpm images with 32x32 ones to conform to Debian policy
(Closes Debian bug #126939).
* Removed the automatic ./configure launch when running `make all' for
the first time.
Stuff currently more broken than it ought to be:
* The wall filter. Being fixed.
* x11 and sdl plugins for depth != 16bpp.
* Software YUV.
* gvlc, gnome-vlc, kvlc shortcuts. Use --intf instead for the moment.
* Updated config.guess and config.sub from GNU's latest versions (bozo,
you may want to update them in vls as well).
* Added vlc.pot skeleton for translators.
* Put common_win32.h back into common.h -- it wasn't that big and we
should not multiply header files.
* Added gettext support by Thomas Graf <reeler@reeler.org>, may be
broken on other platforms but we'll only see it when I'm finished
with vout 4 :-)
* Fixed a segfault on exit when no fast_memcpy module was found.
