* 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.

    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.

   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.

  * ./Makefile: the vlc rule depends on modules_builtin.h.
  * ./include/modules_inner.h: removed useless code.

    rebuild anything to Makefile.config, so that editing it will not cause
    a complete rebuild.

* Updated documentation.

    display. To duplicate 12 times, use `--filter clone:12'.

* Objective-C files are now .m
* Fixed a major bug in the spu decoder
* Disabled auto-hiding of mouse cursor since it doesn't work when browsing
  menus ; instead, click in the video window

    * include/common.h and input_ext-plugins.h, src/misc/modules_plugin.h : export input_ClockGetTS for plugins.
    * plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_audio.c : a demux for mpeg audio stream (file, web radio ...)
    * Makefile configure.in : to compile it

- New creator ID : VLC#
- Borders in fullscreen mode are now black and the movie is centered
  (jlj P0\/\/3r)
- A/V sync should be much more precise

* Added a mpeg_ts_dvbpsi module tha uses libdvbpsi to decode PSIs. It is
  used by default if the lib is found. It shares much code with mpeg_ts

    upcoming work.

  * ./src/misc/modules_plugins.h: implemented a dlerror()-like wrapper
    for the Win32 API.

* Fixed --memcpy switch
* Changed CFLAGS_VLC to vlc_CFLAGS (last-minute changes are great ideas :p)
* New README file for MacOS X.

  * ./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/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...

  * ./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.

  * ./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.

  * ./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.

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

* updated the "package-win32" rule
* all txt files are now converted to dos format (CRLF)

  * ./plugins/aa: aalib output plugin courtesy of Sigmund Augdal.
  * ./configure.in: fixed a few bashisms.
  * ./src/misc/configuration.c: fixed build under Solaris.
  * ./TODO: updated todo list.

  * ./Makefile: fixed OS X vlc.app compilation dependencies.
  * ./configure.in: fixed the endianness check under Solaris.

  * ./src/input/input.c: strings are now initialized to "" instead of NULL.

  * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c: we now properly support the subtitle
    palette information we get from the DVD. Subtitles rox !
  * ./src/video_output/vout_subpictures.c: removed all DVD-specific routines
    and put them into spu_decoder.c.

for BT ;
* --6 and --4 options to force IPv6 or IPv4 (FIXME: it should be -6 and
-4 but I don't know how to do it with the new configuration module) ;
* Channel manager now uses a socket from the network plug-in and is more
portable (and probably broken, too :) ;
* input_ReadPS and input_ReadTS are now in mpeg_system.c to be more
easily reused by plug-ins other than mpeg_ps and mpeg_ts.

That's all for tonight.

* added network to the list of the plugins directories in Makefile
* small bugfixes

- Major rewrite of the buffer core functions
- Modularity of access plugins (file, udp, http)
- Modularity of network stack (ipv4, soon ipv6)
- Autodetection of the type of stream

And a new killing feature : HTTP streams are now seekable.

Please note that dvd, dvdread and vcd plug-ins are broken and thus disabled.

  * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_menu.c: fixed a compile issue on IA64.
  * ./plugins/fx/scope.c: new toy plugin, an audio scope module.

    Each time I fix a bug in vlc I feel urge to code something useless. This
    one is very, very rough for the moment, probably buggy, slow, will crash
    your blender and reboot your fridge. Screenshot can be found here:
      http://www.zoy.org/~sam/vlc/vlc-scope.jpeg
    Activate with `--aout scope' (yes, it currently disables the real
    audio output... I'll fix this as well).

  * Fixed a quite old bug in the audio output which made the sound stutter
    when wrapping around the audio output fifo.
  * Lots of simplifications in the audio output, got rid of b_stereo.

This is the first part of the new configuration architecture for vlc.
Two other parts will follow soon:
- config file implementation
- gtk configuration interface.

This part won't change much for end-users as these changes are mostly
internal, you will however notice that the command line interface has
changed. It will maybe be less user-friendly as I almost removed the
short options but it shouldn't a big problem when the config file is
implemented.

What as changed is that it is really easy now to add configuration
options to vlc. Plugins can also implement configuration options. All
you have to do is to declare a MODULE_CONFIG section in your plugin.
If you want to know more about this look at configuration.h and for some
example: main.c, dsp.c or xvideo.c

It would be nice if every developper could now start using configuration
options in there plugins and also enhance old plugins.

That's it, now let's hope I didn't break too many things ;-)

  * ./configure.in: removed a bashism.
  * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: support for systems without shm.h.
  * QNX compilation fixes here and there; the qnx plugin still doesn't work.

  * ./Makefile: the win32 port now uses a more recent version of gtk+.
