* ./doc/release-howto.txt: updated documentation.
  * ./vlc.spec: added missing plugin filenames to the build process.

  * ./plugins/win32/mainframe.dfm: swapped two mixed up tooltips.
  * ./Makefile: fixed make dist and make distclean.
  * ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c: compilation fix.
  * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_callbacks.c: fixed ejection code.
  * ./plugins/text/ncurses.c: fixed compilation of the ncurses plugin.
  * ./vlc.spec: updated specfile.

  * ./Makefile, ./configure.in: misc BeOS build fixes.

  * ./plugins/macosx/vout_macosx.c: memalign -> vlc_memalign

  * ./plugins/win32/win32.cpp: fixed `--intf intfwin' which wasn't working.
  * ./Makefile: we don't include the Gtk+ and SDL DLLs in the win32 package
    anymore, the package is now 700k instead of 4MB.
  * ./configure.in, ./Makefile, ./Makefile.opts.in: replaced LIB_FOO with
    foo_LDFLAGS and CFLAGS_BAR with bar_CFLAGS for faster builds, and moved a
    lot of stuff from Makefile.opts.in back to configure.in.
  * ./install-win32: updated script for NSIS 1.96.

   I hope this doesn't break too many other architectures...

  * ./configure.in: added --enable-intfwin to enable the win32 interface and
    --with-bcbuilder to tell make where to find Borland C++ Builder.

  * ./plugins/win32/intfwin.bpr: we now build intfwin.so at the right place.
  * ./plugins/win32/Makefile: intfwin.so can be built using commandline.
  * ./configure.in, ./include/threads.h, ./include/common.h: a custom defs.h
    file isn't needed for the intfwin plugin anymore.
  * ./INSTALL.win32: updated compilation instructions for the intfwin plugin.

* introduced a memalign wrapper that will align the memory manually if
  memalign doesn't exist.

  void *vlc_memalign( size_t align, size_t size, void **pp_orig )
  where the return value is the aligned pointer and *pp_orig is the pointer
  that has to be freed afterwards.

  the arithmetic I'm doing on the pointer to align it is not portable to
  64bits architectures. If someone knows how to something portable, please
  tell me ( and no I don't want to do if(sizeof(void *) == blabla) ).

  Other little problem, I was planning to use posix_memalign by default in
  the wrapper implementation but it doesn't work (someone can tell me what
  I'm doing wrong ?)

* re-enabled the sse plugins on win32 as we don't have anymore alignment
  issues.

* fixed typo in vout_directx.c

* Disabled memcpyaltivec since it's buggy

* asm memcpyaltivec for Linux/PPC

  * ./AUTHORS: added myself :)
  * ./plugins/win32/mainframe.cpp: disabled the "hide interface" menu
    item, not yet implemented.
  * ./plugins/win32/about.dfm: replaced the outdated author list with a
    "VideoLAN Team" entry.

  * ./plugins/gtk/gtk.glade, plugins/gtk/gnome.glade, ./plugins/kde/kde.cpp:
    replaced the outdated author list with a "VideoLAN Team" entry.
  * ./debian/rules, ./debian/control: deactivated the vlc-kde package because
    it does not work, and removed the vlc-a52 package because liba52 is
    statically linked into vlc.
  * ./debian/control: added more helpful package descriptions.
  * ALL: changed version to 0.3.0. Yeah, it's coming.
  * ./Makefile: fixed make dist.

  * ./src/video_output/video_output.c: fixed a vout4 image starvation bug.
  * ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c: we look for libdvdcss.so.2 as well as -.so.1.
  * ./configure.in: BSD/OS fixes thanks to Steven M. Schultz.
  * ./Makefile: renamed the `snapshot' rule to `dist'.
  * ./Makefile: removed the `snapshot-nocss' rule which isn't needed anymore.

  * ./src/interface/intf_eject.c: Fixed a MacOS X bug.

* HTTP files now find the EOF (though HTTP input is still broken)

  * ./Makefile.modules: modules now depend on Makefile.opts.
  * ./configure.in: added (hopefully) explicit messages on how to get
    libdvdcss and link vlc with it.
  * ./plugins/dvdread/input_dvdread.c: removed inclusion of dvd_udf.h.

 * ./plugins/win32/*: Added management for secondary config dialogs

  * ./plugins/ogg/*: added preliminary files for an Ogg/Vorbis decoder a
    contributor is currently working on.

  * ALL: removed libdvdcss from the vlc tree.
  * ALL: removed libdvdread from the vlc tree.
  * ./acconfig.h: removed this file.
  * ./plugins/dvd/dummy_dvdcss.c: merged this file into dvd.c.
  * ./AUTHORS: moved a few gentlemen to the libdvdcss AUTHORS file.

* fixed ./plugins/gtk/gtk_callbacks.c to use the "dvd_device" config option
  instead of the now inexistant DVD_DEVICE macro.

  * ./po/ja.po: added Japanese translation from Fumio Nakayama
    <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?

* New pthread implementation for WinNT/2K/XP. This implementation shouldn't
  be subject to race conditions as it is using SignalObjectAndWait() from the
  Win32 API.
  As this should be somehow slower than the old method (still used on Win9x),
  you can specify that you want to use the old method with the "fast_pthread"
  config option.

* Added a new p_main_sys global variable. This variable is a pointer to an
  OS specific structure which is defined in *_specific.h. This structure can
  be filled by the already existing System_Init() function and is a nice
  way to avoid too many #ifdefs.

* Got rid of the DVD_DEVICE macro. We now use the dvd_device config option.
  ( this creates a small memory leak as we don't free the string obtained
    from config_GetPszVariable, but I think we can live with it for now )

* the SSE plugins are disable on the mingw32 build as they don't work.
  ( because memalign is not implemented on win32, and malloc only aligns
    on an 8 bytes boundary )

* fixed small mistake in INSTALL.win32

 * ./include/config.h: fixed config directory name for windows
 * ./plugins/win32: the network dialog now respects the preferences settings

* Use ImageBuffer instead of ScreenBuffer in OS X video output (should be
faster)

* ./src/interface/main.c: check that channels have been created before
  the call to network_ChannelJoin

 * ./plugins/win32:
        - fixed a few bugs in the preferences
        - better auto-resizing of the main window
        - the disc dialog now respects the preferences settings

 * ./src/misc/configuration.c: small compilation fix

OS standard.

  * ./configure.in: BeOS, liba52 and chroma plugin compilation fixes.
  * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_access.c: removed a warning.
  * ./src/misc/configuration.c: Solaris fixes by Meuuh.
  * ./FAQ: removed outdated stuff.

* Fixed yet another bug related to the event thread creation
* Removed a few debug messages

* Fixes for the Win32_msvc build

* Microsof Visual Studio C++ 6 project files.
  This is usefull mainly for debugging as the hardware accelerated plugins
    can't be compiled with msvc.

I won't be maintaining this msvc project as I don't have MSVC myself, but
maybe this will encourage people to try to develop for vlc (or maybe just
discourage them ;-)

* Win32 compilation fixes when downmixsse and downmix3dn are declared as
    plugins.
* Fixed the waiting on the event thread creation in the directx plugin.
