* Win32 network support by Boris Dor�s <babal@via.ecp.fr>.

  * Applied old FreeBSD patch for dvd input by German Tischler.
  * Found what was causing the slowdowns: a namespace collision. Put all
    plugins into builtins again.

  * Win2000 DVD input by Jon Lech Johansen <jon-vl@nanocrew.net>.

  * Speed optimization in the handling of the unusual ephemer DVD subtitles.
  * Little optimization to bozo's UnalignedShowBits fix.
  * Race fix in the packet cache by Jon Lech Johansen <jon-vl@nanocrew.net>.

  * Fixed a few warnings with gcc 3.0.
  * aout and vout are now allocated in banks, making it possible to have
    several of them at the same time.
  * configure now checks for MMX and MMX EXT support in the assembler.
  * Removed all MMX code from the main program and moved it to the
    existing idct modules (Closes: Debian bug #96036).

    Don't forget to make distclean before building vlc again.

  * Mandatory step for video output IV and the audio output quality
    fix: the output threads are now spawned when a decoder needs one,
    so it can decide the audio frequency or the video window size. Still
    under heavy construction, so don't get too excited at finding bugs
    in it yet.

    Note: this change broke the XVideo module, so I made its score much
    lower than before. I suspect xvideo.so had a bug before which only
    appears now. Other video output plugins may be broken as well, but
    again this might be due to old existing bugs showing their ugly head.

  * Fixed a few buffer overflows in the Gnome interface.
  * The module bank is now a global variable. The video output bank and
    the audio output bank might follow (when they exist).
  * Coding style and organization fixes to the spdif decoder.
  * autoconf and Makefile changes by Arnaud Gomes-do-Vale
    <arnaud@carrosse.frmug.org>.

  * Coding style fixes here and there.
  * Miscellaneous QNX compile fixes.
  * Beginning of the mingw32 port by Gildas Bazin <gbazin@netcourrier.com>.
  * Added Marcari and Gildas to the AUTHORS file.

  (I commited the mingw32 port because it doesn't add any new code outside
   the #ifdefs, but we won't tell a word about it for the moment. We don't
   really need windows users whining about bugs, do we ?)

  * Fixed the continuous 'seeking position' bug in network mode.
  * rc interface plugin for vlc control through /dev/stdin courtesy
    of Peter Surda <shurdeek@panorama.sth.ac.at>.
  * Support for `ts://foo:42' style input source:
     vlc ts://vls.via.ecp.fr:1234
     vlc ts://vls.via.ecp.fr
     vlc ts:vls
     vlc ts:vls:4321
    As a side effect, the Gnome and Gtk "network input" buttons work.

  * X11 fullscreen mode, courtesy of David Kennedy <dkennedy@tinytoad.com>

  * Beginning of the built-in modules support.

   A few words about the changes:

  - heavy Makefile butchery has taken place, each plugin now has its own
    Makefile. I know recursive make blablah harmful, but it was just so
    much easier to do this way.

  - Makefile.in has disappeared, we now generate Makefile.opts with
    the overall configuration options, and Makefile.modules which is
    specific to module compilation.

  - After ./configure has been run you may want to modify Makefile.opts
    to check which modules will be compiled built-in or as plugins.

  - Some modules cannot be compiled built-in right now because proper
    linkage doesn't work yet. We don't really care since they're the
    interface or video output modules. The most important stuff works
    (iDCT, motion, YUV, input).

  - It's perfectly valid to compile a module both as built-in and as a
    plugin. vlc will only load the built-in one, but I'll add an option
    to ignore built-in modules for testing purposes.

  - We *should* see a performance increase here. I didn't have much time
    to test it, but if anyone can confirm and perhaps give a rough
    estimate of how much we gain...

  * BeOS icon and MIME resources courtesy of Wade Majors <guru@startrek.com>.
  * Updated icons.
  * Removed redefinition of NULL in src/audio_decoder/adec_layer?.c.
  * Created darwin_specific.c to store the program path at boot time.
    (XXX: check that it didn't break the OS X port)
  * Fixed a warning in netutils.c.

  * XVideo plugin courtesy of Shane Harper <shanegh@optusnet.com.au>
  * Makefile.in and configure.in fixes by Nilmoni Deb <ndeb@ece.cmu.edu>

  * Added Colin and Eugenio to the AUTHORS file.

   * SDL fixes and enhancements by Shane Harper <shanegh@optusnet.com.au>

   Shane, I removed the static variables from your code because static
   is not thread-safe, and one can imagine having several video output
   windows launched at the same time. Also, I made your feature work
   in windowed mode as well, because people kept asking how to hide the
   mouse pointer.

   Also, if you want to work on the XVideo extension, you are welcome ;
   most of us are quite busy at the moment. Damien Lucas <nitrox@via.ecp.fr>
   had offered to work on it, but he seems to be a bit lost, so you may
   want to take over his job.

   As for the "zoom" feature, I suggest you wait until version 4 of the
   video output is done, it'll be easier to do then.

Regards,

  * Everything in place for the 0.2.63 release.

  * Got rid of the CONTRIBUTORS list, and switched AUTHORS to a
    linux-kernel like author list.
  * Updated TODO list.
  * Fixed a segfault in the BeOS interface when --noaudio was specified.
  * Title and Chapter selection in the Gnome and Gtk+ interfaces.

   Commited BeOS changes by Richard Shepherd and Tony Castley.

   include/video_output.h
    * Added boolean_t b_YCbr to vout_thread_s structure to flag YUV-YCbCr
      decoding needed instead of YUV-RGB
    * Will be removed later when video_output.c rewritten

   src/video_output.c
    * vout_CreateThread() initialises b_YCbr to zero

   plugins/beos/*
    * New BeOS video plugin that supports hardware overlays and new
      MediaPlayer compatible interface

   plugins/*
    * Added YUV-YCbCr transforms

  * Forgot to fix the vlc.spec.
  * Added Bozo to the author list.

  * 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.

 * The pure Gnome part of the Gnome interface has been rewritten from
   scratch, and the .glade file included as well. You can edit it by
   installing glade-gnome and doing `glade plugins/gnome/intf_gnome.glade',
   or directly by hand if you grok XML.
 * Files can now be loaded into vlc using the `Open' buttons. But for the
   moment you still have to launch vlc with at least one file, because it
   quits when the end of the playlist is reached.
 * Idle screen was disabled because it eats a lot of CPU and is mostly
   useless for the moment. And it gets activated when pause lasts for too
   long.

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

  * removed float operations in the video decoder, and all emms asm functions
  * borrowed linuxvideo's MMX motion compensation
  * fixed an undefined symbol in the MMX YUV plugin

Meuuh & Sam.

  oubli� certains, alors si vous avez un nom, rajoutez-le. de m�me, s'il
  y a un gros con que j'ai mis par erreur dans la liste et qui n'a jamais
  rien fait pour le projet, n'h�sitez pas � le supprimer sournoisement.
 - fichier AUTHORS avec la liste des gens ayant boss� sur le client. j'ai
  mis toutes les personnes ayant fait au moins un commit, ainsi que Henri
  parce que je sais qu'il bosse sur l'audio, et HPReg, Steve et Oli parce
  qu'ils ont boss� dessus aussi. Par contre ici aussi j'ai fort probable-
  ment oubli� des gens. Corrigez !
 - r�pertoire debian/ qui servira � cr�er des packages
 - rajout d'une entr�e pour faire `make install' (pas encore parfait)
