*Initiliaze p_access_module & p_demux_modules to NULL when input thread
in created.

*dvd and dvdread support for input III.

Dvdread is known to segfault at title change. I'm working on this.

- 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.

  * ./src/input/input.c: BeOS network support (no idea if it works when you
    don't have BONE, though).

Multicast now works under Win32, but this is a _bad_ kludge.

It still segfaults 4 secondes after the first frame, but, at least, I
can see two or three frames from MI2 :-)

  * ./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'.

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.

* mad PTS should finally be accurate
* Some configure changes.

The gnome/gtk interface should no longer user p_input->stream before it
has been initialized.

to have it initialized when we call it in the interface.

  * ./src/input/input.c: fixed a few segfaults caused by the dummy plugin.
  * ./plugins/mpeg_adec/mpeg_adec.c: fixed a segfault due to misuse of
    DecoderError.
  * ./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: replaced XFlush with XSync. This must be the
    fourth time someone has to commit this, so I added a reminder :-)

  * ./include/modules_inner.h: replaced _X with __VLC_SYMBOL because _X was
    already a system macro under MacOS X.
  * ./plugins/dummy/dummy.c: fixed vlc:loop, vlc:quit, etc. entries.
  * ./plugins/glide/glide.c: activated double buffering.
  * ./plugins/mga/xmga.c: started writing an xmga plugin; doesn't work yet.
  * ./src/input/input.c: fixed the input memory leak, and the insane thread
    spawning we got with vlc:loop.
  * ./src/misc/intf_eject.c: disc ejection routine courtesy of Julien Blache,
    currently Linux-only.

  * ./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 :-)

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.

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

  them do nothing)

All inputs should now have a pf_setprogram function. A default one is
provided in input_programs.c.

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.

Libdvdread files are in extras/libdvdread. They have not been changed from
those of libdvdread 0.9.2. The changes are in the subdirectory videolan.
They basically consist of a new function in the API that does a readv()
instead fo a read().

The library is statically linked with libdvdcss from extras/libdvdcss, and
the whole is statically linked with the plugin dvdread. Dvdread can only be
compiled as a builtin module for the time being, I think (which means I
haven't tried to compile it as a plugin).

Basically, input_dvdread.c is a copy and paste from input_dvd.c with a few
changes to use libdvdread calls. It is still in very alpha stage, but it
should offer the same features as the current DVD input.

It can be called with either the syntax: "dvdread:/dev/dvd"
or "--input dvdread /dev/dvd". The command line switches (-t, -T, -c, -u)
should work too.

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]

confirmation that I didn't break the Win32 port, please.

  * Fixed MacOS X 10.1 network input, thanks to Mathias Kretschmer
    <mathias@research.att.com>.

  * Fixed a crash when using `--input dvd /dev/dvd' instead of `dvd:/dev/dvd'

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

  * Automatic handling of the Channel Server's response in network mode.

* Win32 network fix.

  * Fixed some win32 compile issues.
  * Don't use long long, use u64/s64 (int_types.h).

  * Modified the pf_close kludge in input.c so that we don't segfault when
    pf_init fails.

The Linux specific stuff is located in linux_cdrom_tools files.
For the time being, it only has title (tracks). Chapters will come if I
ever can read .vcd files.
I've modified Gnome and GTK+, not the others.
I've noticed a big bug, it segfaults at the end of a title. I will
have a look on this tomorrow.
Please be indulgent, it's my first peace of code ;-)

BUT this is UGLY ! We HAVE to find a way to make multicast function
under Win32.

BTW, it does now definitely read TS Streams, locally or from the network.

  * Fixed an error in the ts://server[:port][/broadcast] input parsing.
