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.

* We now make sure the aout plugin buffers always contain between
AOUT_BUFFER_DURATION/2 and AOUT_BUFFER_DURATION*3/2 worth of audio.
This should solve the audio buffer underruns.

* fix for the bug in input when filename contains a '@' character.

* simplified the win32 specific changes to the input parser. ( I think
we can safely assume that no access plugin name will have a length of
one character)

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

* forgot to add the declaration of server_port in main.c
* char pointers obtained by config_GetPszVariable need to be freed

I'd better used dvd_title or so but INPUT_TITLE_VAR is also used in
gtk_open.c and I can't find a neat way to prevent this, so I leave this
option in main.c.

*Adaptation to new configuration scheme for dvd, dvdread and spdif

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 ;-)

   * Got rid of TRACE and intf_DbgMsg which were seldom used anyway.
   * All intf_*Msg functions now write to stderr.
   * Implemented a message queue interface plugins can subscribe to.
   * Wrote the logger interface plugin. Usage:
      vlc -I logger:filename.log
   * Lots of fixes in the SPU renderer.

  * ALL: got rid of *_Probe functions because most of them were duplicates
    of the real _Init or _Create functions. That's 1000 lines of code gained.
  * ./src/misc/modules.c: we try not to keep the global lock in module_Need,
    which should speed up output spawning.
  * ./plugins/dummy/input_dummy.c: fixed vlc:quit command.
  * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_playlist.c: compilation fix.
  * ./plugins/macosx/*: preliminary fixes for the vout4 port.

   Notes on the *_Probe eradication:
  o I probably broke the DirectX video output, because of the "must init and
    run in the same thread" issue. I'll fix this ASAP.
  o Subtitles are broken (or at least, pretty ugly) in RGB mode.
  o The input plugins still have *_Probe functions. This will disappear when
    meuuh is finished with the access plugins.
  o The decoder plugins still have *_Probe functions. This is probably not
    going to change, it looks OK to me.

  * Grmbl. Forgot to commit those Win32 fixes last time, and they were
    stuck on VTHR. Sorry xav, this probably explains why I couldn't
    find the commit log :-)

  * ./plugins/beos/*: BeOS fixes from Rudolf Cornelissen.
  * ./src/interface/main.c: --desync now really accepts a value in ms.
  * ./plugins/vcd/input_vcd.c: fixed a crash when not opening a VCD.
  * ./src/video_output/vout_subpictures.c: fixed subtitles under BeOS and
    other architectures which don't support overlay.

* Just renamed the liba52_adec plugin into a52 to comply with the naming
convention used by the other plugins.

* New AC3 decoder plugin using liba52 from Aaron Holtzman and
    Michel Lespinasse.
    This plugin isn't used by default, you have to specify:
    --ac3_adec liba52

  * ./plugins/win32: skeleton for the win32 interface Ipkiss is developing.
  * ./config.guess ./config.sub: latest GNU versions.
  * ./configure.in: when possible, xvideo is compiled as a plugin.
  * ./vlc.spec: fixed a few minor inaccuracies.
  * ./debian/control: vlc-gui is no longer depended on, but rather recommended.
  * ./src/interface/main.c: --spumargin flag; use this to force displaying
    subtitles at the bottom of the screen instead of putting them in the
    middle, for instance: `--spumargin 5'.

* major rewrite of the directx video plugin to adapt it to the new vout4
    architecture. This plugin has also been through a major clean-up
    and it is now much more robust and optimized.

* Fixed a few problems with the win32 build.

* Replaced the "overlay" command line option with "nooverlay". The
    former was confusing and useless because overlays were used by
    default anyway.

  * ./src/interface/intf_eject.c: BSD/OS port by Steven M. Schultz.

  * ./plugins/mga/mga.c: removed the mgammx module and put the code in
    the chroma_i420_ymga module instead. This introduces a slight
    performance issue as we now need to memcpy() the Y plane, but I have
    some vout4 enhancements on their way which make this point moot.
  * ./debian/changelog: imported official Debian changelog.
  * ./debian/control: activated the vlc-mad and vlc-arts packages; package
    builds should now work again.
  * ./plugins/dvd/dvd.c: solved a symbol resolution issue when vlc was
    compiled without libdvdcss which overflowed the return stack.
  * ./plugins/ggi/ggi.c: ported the GGI plugin to vout4.
  * ./plugins/glide/glide.c: ported the Glide plugin to vout4 (untested).
  * ./src/input/input.c: prepared everything for multi-input mode; since
    no interface is yet prepared to handle this, I changed them so that
    they just use the first available input for now. This may break other
    things, but I promise I'll eventually repair everything :-)

  * ./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.

  * CPU detection under BeOS.
  * Fixed XVideo port selection.
  * New stupid plugin: "--filter wall" for split-image playback :-)
     (will evolve into a real image wall plugin when I have time)

  * Filter plugins. Not very polished (please don't look at how the dates are
    calculated!), but worth a try. Use the following flags:
     "--filter invert" for inverse video
     "--filter bob" for BOB deinterlacing
  * Fixed a potential segfault if the subtitle stream was encountered
    before the video stream.
  * Misc vout4 fixes.

  * Fixed Win32 port.
  * Fixed unnecessary target remake (recursive make is harmful !).

  * Additional fixes for OSes with no gettext (thanks to ej0).
  * Fixed a potential BeOS linking issue.
  * Fixed a minor bug in input.c.

  * (very old) russian translation courtesy of Valek Filippov <frob@df.ru>.
  * Fixed a charset issue in the french translation.

  * Removed unused code (intf_channels.c, keystrokes.h).
  * Put common_win32.h back into common.h -- it wasn't that big and we
    should not multiply header files.
  * Added gettext support by Thomas Graf <reeler@reeler.org>, may be
    broken on other platforms but we'll only see it when I'm finished
    with vout 4 :-)
  * Fixed a segfault on exit when no fast_memcpy module was found.

  * COMPLETE CVS BREAKAGE !! The MAIN branch is going to be a playground
    for my nevrotic and destructive pulsions during the next few hours!

  * If you want to test vlc, please use the v0_2_92_branch branch.

  * Stuff currently working:
     - direct to YUV buffer decoding
     - non-ugly subtitle blending
     - XVideo and SDL video output

  * Stuff currently utterly broken:
     - aspect ratio
     - software rendering (ie, all other video output plugins)

  * Additional misc changes:
     - Renamed spu_dec to spudec and mad_adec to mad to stay coherent with
       other plugins. Also, renamed mpeg to mpeg_system.
     - Added jobi to the AUTHORS file.
     - Factored code common to vout_x11.c and vout_xvideo.c.

  * Fixed a total breakage of decoder plugins introduced by fast_memcpy.
  * Got rid of #include "main.h", included it in common.h instead ; got
    rid of #include "config.h" in most files as well.

* Updated documentation ;
* New --desync option, to delay the video (in case of lip desynchronization) ;
this is bad, but we have no other option for the moment ;
* Clicking in vout now pauses the stream, patch courtesy of Peter Surda.

  * Borrowed MPlayer's fast memcpy() routines. Best is autodetected, choose
    "--memcpy <whatever>" to choose one from c, mmx, mmxext or 3dn.
    Please test! Especially Athlon users.
  * Added versioned build-dep to libasound2-dev (Closes Debian bug #121057).
  * Updated Gtk/GNOME interfaces to use "udpstream" instead of "ts".
  * Unrolled ChangeLog.

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.

SUPPORTED :
ts:toto:1234/meuh
--server toto --broadcast meuh --port 1234

The only supported syntax is :
udp[stream]:[//][serveraddr:[serverport]][@[bindaddr][:bindport]]
example : udpstream:toto@meuh:toto

In most cases, simply passing "udpstream:" should work, since it enables
unicast and broadcast reception on port 1234 from any server. Other
options are only used for fine tuning and multicast.

TODO :
* The GTK interface is broken (glade knowledge wanted !)
* Test this on all supported platforms (and fix them :)
[this won't work with current channel servers - fix needed]

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...

  * Fixed the vlcs communication issue by initializing WinSock at
    startup (thanks Meuuh for the tip).

  * Made everything ready for a vlc-0.2.91 / libdvdcss-1.0.0 release.
  * Updated ChangeLog and ChangeLog.libdvdcss.
  * Increased vlcs response message length.
  * Removed the i_flags argument to dvdcss_open. Everything is done through
    environment variables now.
