* plugins/a52_system/Makefile, plugins/a52_system/a52_system.c: a52 input
    module.
  * plugins/ac3_spdif/ac3_spdif.c: added a little mwait to avoid a flood from
    the a52 input module.

Note: the new module aims at reading ac3 streams but it works only with the
ac3_spdif "decoder" since it is the only one which dates each frame contrary
to the others which can't avoid a flood from the input module.

  * ./plugins/motion/motionmmx.c: MMX motion optimizations courtesy of
    Vladimir Chernyshov <greengrass@writeme.com>.

  * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c: we now use FIND_ANYWHERE to find a vout.
(ported from v0_4_1_branch)
  * ./plugins/dvdread/dvdread.c: disabled the dvdread plugin because it
    currently sucks.
  * ./src/misc/configuration.c, ./src/interface/main.c: we now accept --nofoo
    and --no-foo as negations for --foo. Also, the --help output is nicer.
  * ./plugins/qnx/vout_qnx.c: QNX compilation fix.

* ./include/vlc_common.h: got rid of i_thread in VLC_COMMON_MEMBERS.

* ./include/os_specific.h: changed prototype of system_*() to use vlc_t
instead of vlc_object_t.

  * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_es.c, ./plugins/satellite/input_satellite.c,
    ./plugins/dvdread/input_dvdread.c: updated outdated variable names.
(ported from 0_4_1_branch)
  * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c: fixed a margin bug in the SPU renderer
    which caused subtitles to appear slanted in odd width windows.

* ./include/vlc_threads.h: re-merged vlc_threads.h and threads_funcs.h.

  * ./src/playlist/playlist.c, src/input/input.c: added safety checks to
    prevent crashes on next file.
(ported from 0_4_1_branch)
  * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_display.c, ./plugins/win32/mainframe.cpp: we deactivate
    popup menus when no stream is being played, even in network mode.
  * ./src/input/mpeg_system.c: removed unnecessarily verbose message.

* ./plugins/a52/a52.c: compilation fix. Following C99 we have to include
<stdint.h> but Solaris doesn't have it so we include <inttypes.h> when
it isn't found.

    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.

* fixed a bug in the chapter handling ;
* more keystrokes ;

  * ./bootstrap.sh, ./src/libvlc.h, ./po/*: fixed bootstrap.sh so that it does
    not include CVS Id lines in automatically created files.

    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.

  * ./include/main.h: replaced p_sys with explicit variables because it's
    really much simpler this way. Gildas, will you ever forgive me ? :-)

    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.

and improvements and corrections in videoout.

* Fixed the height of the output video, was one to big.

  brain-dead developer :p

Win32 interface:
 * The "Eject" button is enabled only after we played a dvd or vcd.
 * The toolbar is now flat and less cubist.
 * Got rid of the ugly slider with some winXP skins.
 * Added a config option to limit the number of messages in the log
   window (default is set to 500).

* ./plugins/mpeg_vdec/vpar_headers.c: don't try to deference a null
pointer (fix from sam).

  (Gildas you forgot the default value for gnome-toolbartext, I assume
   it was 1 ;)

  Now it is ultra-fast !

 * intf_eject.c : added ejection code for Win32. Please test it under
                  Win95/98/Me, I just can't install a winme
                  in my work office :).
 * plugins/win32/* : enabled the "Eject" button (thanks Ipkiss)
 * src/misc/netutils.c : just changed my mail :P

* changed ADD_BOOL and ADD_BOOL_WITH_SHORT config macros to accept a
default value as an argument.
* modified the command line parsing to accept --foo and --no-foo when a
"foo" boolean config option is defined.
* modified the help menu to indicate if the option is enabled or
disabled by default.

    a new picture for a while, it redisplays the last displayed one. This will
    be useful for DVD menus, but also solves the "picture becomes black when
    vlc is paused" issue.

* ./plugins/dummy/dummy.c: added a CATEGORY_HINT to the config.
* ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: small change to the ToggleFullscreen routine
to avoid a flickering during the switch.
