* ./include/common.h: BeOS compile fixes.
  * ./plugins/beos/vout_beos.cpp: fixed BeOS video output.

  * ./include/threads.h: support for the State Threads Library, a userland
    threads library (http://state-threads.sourceforge.net/). Useless to most
    people, but can be handy to debug stuff. Activate with `--enable-st'.

  * ./BUGS: added a list of known bugs. Please add your findings!
  * ./MODULES: added a short description of each module. Maybe we should
    add more details to make this file really useful.
  * ./doc/bugreport-howto.txt: wishful thinking...
  * ./Makefile: added a workaround for the fact that .c files don't depend
    on <videolan/vlc.h>.
  * ./plugins/memcpy/memcpy.c: all memcpy modules are now built from the same
    single file.
  * ./src/interface/main.c: added the --nommx, --no3dnow, --nommxext, --nosse
    and --noaltivec options to vlc.
  * ./configure.in: removed the --disable-mmx option, now useless because
    of the vlc --no* options.
  * ./src/interface/main.c: fixed a crash caused by the memcpy module
    being released too early.
  * ./include/video.h: more vout4 changes, including margin support, more
    FOURCC formats recognized, transparent support of identical or almost
    identical FOURCC formats.
  * ./include/video_output.h: added a vout_Render function to video output
    modules which is to be executed before vout_Display.
  * ./include/common.h: this header is back.
  * ./plugins/chroma/i420_rgb.c: planar YUV 4:2:0 to packed RGB conversion
    functions, mostly taken from vout3's yuv functions, but heavily modified
    to use FAST_MEMCPY and to handle image dimensions which are not multiples
    of 16. Not all functions have been written yet, though.
  * ./plugins/chroma/i420_yuy2.c: planar YUV 4:2:0 to packed YUV conversion
    functions, various targets such as 4:2:2 YUYV, YVYU, UYVY, or 2:1:1 YUYV,
    with accelerated MMX versions.
  * ./plugins/chroma/i422_yuy2.c: same as i420_yuy2.c but takes planar YUV
    4:2:2 pictures in input. With accelerated MMX versions as well. This plugin
    makes it possible to display 4:2:2 files on most video cards without the
    quality loss of 4:2:0 downsampling.
  * ./plugins/filter/*: thanks to the vout_Render function, all filters now
    output their data perfectly in sync.
  * ./plugins/dvdread/Makefile: fix to prevent unnecessary target rebuilds.
  * ./plugins/sdl/vout_sdl.c: support for YV12, UYVY, YUY2 and YVYU overlays.
  * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: support for I420, YV12, YUY2 and Y211 overlays.

Some heavy changes today:
  * 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.

  * Buffer choice optimizations - vout4 should eat even less CPU now.
  * Minor warning fix for Hurd.

other plug-ins.

     It' wouldn't compile on OSX without this.

  *) Removed the mutex the vout and intf thread (were supposed to use)
     for syncronizing acces to the p_vout->p_sys structure.
     The p_vout->change_lock mutex is used for syncronization now. (and
     should make synronization work)

now be included *before* threads.h ;
* Changed all files to include intf_msg.h before threads.h ; while I was
at it, I update the copyright notices ;
* Removed the obsolete darwin plug-in.

 * Big clean-up to allow compiling every module as plugins.
 * Added bytes_swap.h to provide ntoh() and htol() on Win32. With this
     change we don't have to link winsock2 with every plugin anymore. This
     should also give us a slight speed increase.
 * Added #define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN in threads.h to speed-up compilation
     on Win32.
 * Modified ac_downmix_3dn and sse so they compile with the latest gcc for
     Win32.

(PS: the dvdread plugin doesn't compile yet on Win32)

In other words, file playback in 0.2.91 does not work. For de-
scheduling threads use a 0ms sleep instead of 1ms, as it was
causing problems under WinXP. I hope this does not introduce
problems under previous windows versions. I noticed it was
originally 0ms, but later changed to 1ms...

  * Added support in ./configure for the cprof profiler.
  * Activated -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D__USE_UNIX98 on all platforms, fixes
    issues under Solaris and QNX.
  * Additional checks for SSE-specific (non-MMXEXT) instructions, as
    reported in <20010817114220.A23480@slartibartfast.angrypacket.com>.

  * GNU/Hurd configuration and compilation fixes.

* Fixed a segfault in PSEnd in input_ps.c
* The video decoder thread is now also reniced to a lower priority on
  Win32 (as in the linux version). This slightly increases the responsiveness of vlc.

 * dvdcss_readv optimisations for Win32. We now send only one read command
   to the DVD drive for the whole iovec.
 * Fixed _win32_dvdcss_aread to work around the WinASPI32 64kb transfer
   size restriction.
 * New and theoretically better Win32 pthread implementation which fixes a
   problem I was having when changing title on a DVD (netlist related).
   vlc_cond_multicast may or may not work.
 * Fixed the "quit" event handling in directx/vout_events.c.
 * dvd_ifo.c now takes into account error messages from UDFFindFile.
 * Temporarily disabled aout_Probe() in aout_SDL (this function
   is creating an awful lot of problems - libSDL bug ).

* Fixed a bug in the video decoder initialization :-p ;
* Added --smp option and several hooks in src/input/input_ext-intf.c ;
* Grayscale mode now turns off chroma IDCT.

  * Added gprof profiling support with --enable-profiling.

    It works at last! configure with --enable-profiling, build, run
 vlc (you may want to add --noaudio, it currently segfaults with sound
 here) and launch "gprof vlc" when finished.

    To make gprof work with multithreaded programs, one needs to set the
 internal ITIMER_PROF timer for each new thread launched. I did this
 through a wrapper in vlc_thread_create (see include/threads.h).

  * DirectX enhancements by Gildas Bazin, such as software rendering.
  * Merged dvdcss_init and dvdcss_open into dvdcss_open, and dvdcss_close
    and dvdcss_end into dvdcss_close. libdvdcss API now has 7 functions.
  * Another failed attempt at profiling vlc under Linux: ported the
    threads API to GNU Pth. Activate with --enable-pth. It doesn't seem to
    spawn new threads for me, maybe someone will have better luck.
  * Makefile optimizations.
  * Automatic build of libdvdcss if not found.

  * 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 ?)

  * Header cleaning: filled all empty authors fields, added CVS $Id stuff.
  * Fixes to aout_darwin.c by Colin Delacroix <colin@zoy.org>.
  * Fixes to configure.in, Makefile.in and main.c (Altivec detection)
    by Eugenio Jarosiewicz <ej0@cise.ufl.edu>.
  * Added Colin and Eugenio to the AUTHORS file.

   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.

- Order : if a then b are initialized, release b then a ;
- Typos ;
- Cosmetic changes.

- Added vlc_mutex_destroy and vlc_cond_destroy function, for pthreads.
- Used them before quitting, every lock and cond is destroyed
- Checked the return value of malloc and realloc in input_programs
- Cosmetic changes

TODO: add vlc_*_destroy for beos and C_thread

 . this is a coding style patch which removes all "foo(bar){" constructions
   and most of the tabulations.
 . also, fixed a bug in the default subtitle track.
 . and made a few error messages more explicit, ie. changed "error: %s" to
   "foo error: couldn't initialize bar (%s)"

- the vlc does not exhaust system resources anymore (it was creating a new
  mutex each picture so after a while there was no more mutex available in
  the entire system);
- the sound has been corrected and now it works perfectly;
- the window has now the right size (there was and additional line before).

The (BeOS) threads have also been improved especially with the cond vars
(but it is no more compliant with the pthread cond vars).

VideoLAN for BeOS now rocks and is ready for its first binary release.

bit stream, la macro pour la conversion de BIGENDIAN vers LITTLEENDIAN ne
fonctionnant (toujours) pas.

La version BeOS pose encore de gros probl�mes:
- des plantages al�atoires lorsqu'on utilise le son,
- des performances tr�s en dessous de celles d'anciennes version du vlc,
- une synchro son qui ne fonctionne pas correctement,
- au bout d'un certain temps d'utilisation, toutes les ressources syst�mes
  sont consomm�es et le syst�me lui-m�me devient instable (merci d'�viter
  les commentaires sur la stabilit� de BeOS)

licences. Et puis �a peut arriver � tout le monde :)

En cadeau bonux un nouvel input_file qui permet de lire les vob. Il
faur rajouter la ligne suivante dans vlc.init:
spawn-input method=10 filename=braindead

 - r�indentation de quelques bouts de code
 - les plugins vont �tre cherch�s en priorit� dans . puis ./plugins
  puis dans le r�pertoire habituel
 - d�but de communication entre le thread gnome et l'input
 - l'interface gnome ne segfaulte plus en sortant
 - le menu "Exit" fonctionne

10 avril:
 - fen�tre Gnome au lieu de fen�tre Gtk
  *** ATTENTION *** l'interface Gnome n'est vraiment qu'un d�but, soyez
   gentils de ne pas faire de bug report si un bouton ne fonctionne pas.
 - popup "About"

11 avril:
 - fen�tre playlist (rien dedans encore)
 - masquage du pointeur souris
 - popup menu dans la fen�tre vout
 - hide/show des fen�tres playlist
 - les boutons "Exit" fonctionnent quel que soit le menu

12 avril:
 - d�but du cassage des channels
 - d�but des menus g�n�r�s en runtime

13 avril:
 - ajout du target "snapshot" dans le makefile

14 avril:
 - d�codage de tous les sous-titres connus

 . include/config.h devient include/config.h.in et config.h sera
  g�n�r� par ./configure. Le but est d'�viter les options -DFOO de gcc
 . suppression d'un 'Resources' qui trainait encore dans config.h

 . plus de #ifdef SYS_* dans threads.h, on utilise defs.h
 . re-test des scripts de tibob :)

r�organiser les headers pour que ce soient les headers les plus proches
du syst�me qui se retrouvent en premier (threads.h devrait toujours �tre
le premier des headers non syst�mes). J'ai du aussi rajouter un type
plugin_id_t et par la m�me occasion inclure plugins.h dans la plupart
des fichiers. Voici en vrac les modifs les plus importantes que j'ai op�r�:

o L�g�re r�organisation pour les raisons �voqu�es ci-dessus (certaines
  macros comme MIN et MAX peuvent �tre d�j� d�finies par le syst�me et
  interf�rer avec celles d�finies dans common.h ou autre)

o Dans intf_msg j'ai du remplacer les vasprintf par des vsprintf
  dans le cas o� ARCH=BEOS.

o la commande hostname du Makefile n'�tait pas compatible et je
  l'ai donc enlev�, en avons-nous besoin ? Auquel cas il suffit de
  rajouter un ifeq.

o J'ai aussi remplac�  les bzero et bcopy par memset et memmove.

o plugin.c, mtime.c et threads.h et quelques fichiers de l'input
  ont �t� adapt�s � BeOS � grand coup de #ifdef SYS_*.

TODO:

o Ecrire intf_beos.cpp, vout_beos.cpp et aout_beos.cpp

Je suis sous linux et je viens de tester le client qui marche tr�s
bien, mais il est n�anmoins possible que j'ai introduit quelques
probl�mes de compilations pour certains modules, si c'est le cas
pr�venez moi.

le flood, c'est la derni�re fois.

  . apr�s le demoronifier, le GPLifier: il y a les ent�tes de la GPL dans
   chaque fichier ; votre mission, si vous l'acceptez, est de mettre votre
   nom dans chaque fichier qui est votre oeuvre ou auquel vous avez
   particip�, pour qu'on sache qui a fait quoi. Pas de fausse modestie,
   c'est plus pour des raisons pratiques que pour la gloire.

  . rajout de -lthreads pour que �a linke sous Hurd

  . rajout de quelques #include pour que �a compile sous FreeBSD
   (d'ailleurs �a compile mais �a ne linke pas, je ne sais pas comment
   linker avec la libpthread sur la machine de Dae)

  . quelques #ifdef SYS_BSD �� et l�.

 . rajout de #ifdef SYS_LINUX autour du code concernant les interfaces
 . suppression de quelques #include <sys/soundcard.h> qui trainaient encore
 . option PPRO dans le Makefile (si vous avez des erreurs
    'Illegal instruction', �a venait probablement de l�)
 . rajout de quelques commentaires pour expliquer en quoi certains #include
    sont n�cessaires, aux endroits o� je ne comprenais pas, et suppression
    de #include qui semblaient inutiles.

   . 11 moronic long lines destroyed
   . 1282 trailing spaces eradicated
   . 4 ugly macros fixed
   . 5 innocent a_bit_long lines shortened

   . 5987 tabulations transform�es en espaces
   . 153 '??' transform�s en 'XXX??' ou 'FIXME??'
    (ptyx, j'esp�re que ce compromis te convient)

   . commentaires en // corrig�s en /* */
    (je parle bien des commentaires, pas des morceaux de code
     mis en // comme les printf de debug par exemple)

Au passage :

   . version du vlc modifi�e en 0.1.99 (la release sera la 0.2.0)
   . suppression de video_x11.h
   . correction d'un warning dans intf_ctrl.c

 . *3dfx* devient *glide*
 . suppression de tabulations dans quelques fichiers
 . suppression des 2 warnings dans sam_synchro
 . video_* devient vout_* quand ce sont des m�thodes de vout
 . tentative de correction de la d�tection de MMX pour BeOS
 . nouvelle option vlc_vout_method (faute de mieux pour le moment)
 . modification du Makefile pour supporter plusieurs VIDEO_*

dor�navant on peut compiler plusieurs output diff�rents dans le
client. la pr�f�rence se fait dans l'ordre x11, fb, ggi, glide...

si on le compile avec x11 et fb, par d�faut il se lancera en X.
pour le lancer en framebuffer :
./vlc vlc_vout_method=fb

(il faut que je proprifie un peu le choix de l'output, et que je
facilite l'ajout d'un nouveau vout_*)

 D�sol� pour le flood. Les en-t�tes de fonctions ne font plus 81
caract�res, et il n'y a plus d'espaces inutiles, Tous les trailing
spaces ont disparu, j'ai essay� de v�rifier que �a ne p�tait rien,
mais j'ai pu oublier un truc con. J'accepte tous types de ch�timents
� base d'orties fra�ches.

 D�sol� d'avoir aussi modifi� les fichiers de ceux qui formataient
bien proprement leurs en-t�tes � 80 et pas 79 sans emb�ter personne,
mais j'ai d� choisir entre les deux.

 Dor�navant ce serait bien de formater les en-t�tes et les commentaires
justifi�s � droite � 79 colonnes, ou au pire � 80.

 . 1343 moronic long lines destroyed
 . 12893 trailing spaces eradicated
 . 115 ugly macros fixed
 . 959 innocent a_bit_long lines shortened
 But hey, 40054 lines were OK !
