* We now do pthread detection for FreeBSD like the XMMS guys do. It
    works even better.

  * FreeBSD pthread fixes.

  * AC3 IMDCT and downmix functions are now in plugins, --imdct and
    --downmix options added.

  * 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.

  * FreeBSD CSS decryption support.

  * 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>.

Updated files for 0.2.73 release

  * Fixed a nonsense in configure.in preventing to build sdl.so.
  * Removed a few stupid debug instructions in aout_s16.c that should
    have never been commited. Sorry about that.

  * Don't use the #@%&$! autoconf-suggested CFLAGS.

  * 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 ?)

--enable-debug still exists, but only activates -g and additional
safety checks.

I hope I didn't break anything :))

  * 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.

  * Updated the TODO list.
  * Fixed benny's latest C++ism.
  * Fonts not found are no longer fatal to the video output.

  * Added prototypes for the Elementary Stream input module for Alexis.
     it's compiled by default, to activate it: "vlc --input es <file.mpeg>"

  * Fixed build process when no plugins or no builtins were chosen.
  * Makefile changes to get around MacOS X's brain-damaged gcc.
  * FreeBSD configure and Makefile patches, courtesy of Espen
    Skoglund <esk@ira.uka.de>.

  * Fixed a typo in configure.in

  * Merged Makefile.common and Makefile.modules.in into Makefile.modules
  * Updated version number and ChangeLog to 0.2.72
  * Additional plugin Makefile cleaning, probably the last.

  * All Debian packages are now lintian-clean.
  * Fixed XVideo plugin linking.

  * Updated TODO list with Henri's Apr 6th post.
  * Built-in modules support almost finished.

    Now you can compile any module within vlc, even the Gnome, Qt, SDL
  and GGI modules at the same time, resulting in an awful extra fat
  vlc binary with gazillons of library dependecies.

    The only exception is that the Gnome and Gtk+ modules can't be
  compiled together into vlc. But you can have one compiled built-in
  and the other as a plugin.

    Another consequence is that libdl should no longer be needed under
  MacOS X. I'll check this as soon as possible.

  * 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...

  * Updated version number to 0.2.71 (release today).

  * Merged 6 months of CVS logs to the ChangeLog file.
    The vlc changelog can now be viewed here:
       http://www.videolan.org/vlc/changelog.html

  * Fixed a lintian error in debian/rules.
  * XVideo resize patch by Shane Harper <shanegh@optusnet.com.au>.

  * Fixed icons location and Debian desktop menus.

  * Fixed the whitespace/tab issues in the Makefile.
  * Corrected an awful typo in the version name, I hope Lieutenant Commander
    Arkady Grigorovich Ourumov will never set up us the bomb for that.
  * Removed deprecated stuff from config.h.
  * Disabled message queue by default.
  * A few other changes in the CSS code, the BeOS issues should be fixed.
  * Fixed a memory leak in gtk_callbacks.c (thanks to Dae).

interface (courtesy of Eugenio Jarosiewicz & Colin Delacroix) ;
* Bumped up version number to 0.2.70.

  * added the GNU getopt library, which gets compiled in when getopt_long
    isn't available on the desired platform.
  * replaced the `--warning' flag with the standard cumulative `-v' flag.
    `-v' is like `--warning 3', and `-vvvv' is like `--warning 0'
    (`--warning' is still valid for those used to it)
  * cleaning in configure.in and Makefile.in, the Solaris port now
    builds and runs properly.

  * XVideo plugin courtesy of Shane Harper <shanegh@optusnet.com.au>
  * Makefile.in and configure.in fixes by Nilmoni Deb <ndeb@ece.cmu.edu>
  * A few syntax fixes in the plain X11 plugin

  * 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.

  * vlc core compiles under QNX RTOS. Now if anyone feels like tidying
  it and writing output and interface plugins...

  * Function prototypes for the forthcoming Darwin and MacOS X port.
  * Gtk+ interface: fixed a precision issue in the scale.
  * Qt interface: somebody pop up us the menu!!

* Changed files so that the MacOS X port compiles & runs [MacOS X port] ;
* If SDL/GTK/DSP is not available, don't compile the associated module.

  * Bug fixes and enhancements in the Gtk+/Gnome interfaces.

   o the slider should behave correctly and stop jumping here and
     there (this bug is _not_ related to Stef's similar bug)
   o added an "open network" menu (useless since the input doesn't
     handle it properly yet)
   o tried to reorganize gnome_callbacks.c and gtk_callbacks.c
   o stream date is now displayed instead of percentage
   o renamed gnome_sys.h to intf_gnome.h, and gtk_sys.h to intf_gtk.h

  * Changed documentation and package creation files.

   o added versioned conflicts/replaces to vlc-gtk (Closes Debian bug #88796)
   o removed useless or outdated documentation from doc/*
   o moved vlc.1 manpage from debian/vlc.1 to doc/vlc.1

  * Added basic Qt interface.

   o working features: slide bar, open file, toolbar, popup menu
   o added "qvlc" alias, equivalent to "vlc -I qt"
   o known issues : no "open disc" or "open network" menus yet
                    the IntfWindow class is never cleaned on destruction
                    the popup menu always pop at the middle of the screen

  * Misc fixes/updates.

   o renamed netutils.h functions from input_* to network_*
   o renamed *plst* files and functions to *playlist* (it was stupid
     from me to name them "plst")
   o made a few input error messages more meaningful
   o added -I, -A and -V short flags, corresponding to --intf, --audio
     and --video

    I got a lot of conflicts on this commit, lart me if I forgot a
  file or made old bugs reappear.

###code is dirty###
Please clean it for me :P
(or at least, tell me how to clean it)

. Slightly modified playlist base interface
  (Added a function to jump directly to an item, used for double clicking)

. Added manymanycallbacks
. Added the playlist dialog
. Added Dnd support for intf_window and the clist1
  . support URI and plain file(s)/folder(s)
. Added "show/hide main window" menuitem in intf_popup
. Added bugs :P

Enjoy and please bug report.

  * 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.

  * Added debian/* files to help generating CSS-enabled non-US packages,
    and changed plugins/dvd/* to reflect this change.
  * Added .xpm icons (fixes lintian warnings).
  * --help output and manpage are now in sync (Closes Debian bug #87478).
  * Fixed Build-dpends entry in debian/control (Closes Debian bug #83707).

  * Changed debian/control to fix Debian bug #83707
  * Added a --disable-css configure option
  * Moved some code here and there in the DVD plugin to make it easier
    for me to build the Debian CSS-free packages.

  (note: empty CVS mails mean that a new directory has been created,
   don't forget to use the -p option if you cvs update)

  * Added a plain Gtk+ port of the Gnome interface, for the gnome-impaired
    people. Gtk+ is now compiled by default, while Gnome isn't (you will
    have to add --enable-gnome when running configure)
  * Replaced -lcurses with -lncurses in configure.in.
