about 2000 lines of code.

    I could not test everything on every architecture, so please report
    any module breakage (especially on BeOS, OSX and QNX).

  * ./src/libvlc.c, ./include/vlc/vlc.h: created reentrant versions of the
    libvlc API.
  * ./src/vlc.c: vlc uses the non-reentrant libvlc functions.
  * ./mozilla/vlcplugin.c: the mozilla plugin uses the reentrant functions.
  * ./debian/*: created packages for libvlc0-dev.

    for p_intf->b_die to know when they are supposed to terminate p_intf. This
    will allow to spawn interface plugins on the fly.

    comment on usability.

    of vlc from crashing when trying to open a recent module.

    an emtpy playlist.

* ./include/configuration.h: renamed MODULE_CONFIG_* macros into
CONFIG_*.
* ./include/configuration.h, ./plugins/gtk/gtk_preferences.c,
./plugins/filter/transform.c, ./plugins/filter/distort.c,
./plugins/filter/deinterlace.c: added an ADD_STRING_FROM_LIST()
configuration macro.
* ./include/modules.h, ./include/video_output.h,
./src/video_output/video_output.c, ./plugins/filters/*: added a
VOUT_FILTER capability. Having a clear distinction between VOUTs and
VOUT_FILTERs allows us to get rid of ugly hacks. The filters are also
stackable now (use --filter=foo:bar:foo etc..).
* ./include/configuration.h, ./src/libvlc.h, ./src/libvlc.c: clean-up +
added an ADD_USAGE_HINT() configuration macro.

  * ./plugins/text/rc.c: fixed the "a" command.

  * ./src/playlist/playlist.c: fixed an off-by-one loop error.

    and vlc:quit work again.
  * ./src/playlist/playlist.c: when a new target is added, for instance through     the "File" menu, it is automatically played.

  * ./src/misc/objects.c: we do not hang on attempt to destroy an object with
    a non-zero reference count, but we still complain.
  * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_control.c, plugins/gtk/gtk_playlist.c: most controls such
    as play, pause, stop, next, fast etc. work again.
  * ./plugins/gtk/gnome_*: got rid of lots of useless wrappers which were a
    workaround for a bug in Glade. Instead, bootstrap.sh does the Glade fixes.
  * ./plugins/ffmpeg/ffmpeg.c: if there is already a video output with the
    appropriate properties, we use it.

  * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_callbacks.c: fixed a segfault when switching to
    fullscreen from the popup menu.
(from v0_4_1_branch)
  * ./plugins/gtk/gnome_callbacks.c: fixed a crash when activating preferences
    from the popup menu.
  * ./plugins/gtk/gnome.glade: added lines this #@%$! Glade had munched, fixes
    a segfault in the Gnome popup menu when toggling the interface.

  * ./src/interface/interface.c: interfaces are no longer attached only to
    p_vlc.
  * ./src/libvlc.c, ./src/misc/modules.c, ./src/playlist/playlist.c,
    ./src/input/input.c: improvements in the playlist handling (not quite that
    yet though).
(ported from v0_4_1_branch)
  * ./configure.in, ./plugins/mpeg_system/mpeg_ts.c: fixed libdvbpsi handling.
  * ./src/misc/configuration.c: fixed the --nofoo option handling.
  * ./src/interface/main.c: fixed two compilation warnings under Solaris.

  * ./src/playlist/playlist.c, src/input/input.c: added safety checks to
    prevent crashes on next file.
(ported from 0_4_1_branch)
  * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_display.c, ./plugins/win32/mainframe.cpp: we deactivate
    popup menus when no stream is being played, even in network mode.
  * ./src/input/mpeg_system.c: removed unnecessarily verbose message.

    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.

  (Gildas you forgot the default value for gnome-toolbartext, I assume
   it was 1 ;)

* changed ADD_BOOL and ADD_BOOL_WITH_SHORT config macros to accept a
default value as an argument.
* modified the command line parsing to accept --foo and --no-foo when a
"foo" boolean config option is defined.
* modified the help menu to indicate if the option is enabled or
disabled by default.

* ./plugins/text/logger.c: on win32 the logger interface shows up a dos
  command box.
* ./plugins/gtk/gnome.c: fixed uninitialized variable. (from Sam)
* ./plugins/gtk/gtk_playlist.c: simplified GtkRebuildCList(). (from Sam)

  * ./src/input/input_dec.c: removed useless code.
  * ./src/input/input.c, ./plugins/gtk/gtk.c: fixed access to uninitialized
    variables.
  * ./plugins/dvd/dvd_demux.c: fixed the pf_demux return value.

* fixed a segfault I introduced lately in gtk_preferences.

    * plugins/gtk/*: gtk and gnome interfaces now uses frequency and
                     symbol rates default values

    and mipspro doesn't know about __inline__).

* modified the directx video plugin to try to create an YUV surface before
   falling back to an RGB surface when it's not possible to use overlays.
   Some graphic cards can do the YUV->RGB conversion in hardware during the
   blitting stage.
* in the directx video plugin, we now request that the RGB surface be created
   in video memory. The reasoning behind this is that usually surfaces in
   video memory benefit from more hardware acceleration (like for instance
   hw rescaling, hw blitting, etc...)
* added two options to the directx video plugin to disable the above features.
   (mainly because my video driver is buggy and doesn't handle them well).

* small cosmetic changes to the generation of the config file.

* fix for config_GetHomeDir() on win32. SHGetFolderPath() is located in
   shfolder.dll not shell32.dll.
* fix for the gtk preferences dialog box. To be sure that an int or float value
   is actually changed we call gtk_spin_button_update() in the
   GtkInt/FloatChanged() event handler.

 * Fixed my previous commit

 * New Network dialog box for Gtk and Gnome interfaces

* The Apply button in the preferences menu is grayed out unless there's a
  change to apply.
* GtkConfigApply() now clears the list of config changes before returning.

    autoshrink when toolbar text isn't displayed

    callbacks for the hide tooltips and toolbar text options

    GNOME interface toolbar

  * ALL: removed underscores from option names and made a few options more
    self-explanatory, for instance --input_channel becomes --audio-channel;
    run vlc -H to see what has changed.
  * ALL: replaced many occurences of "plugin" with the word "module".
  * ./src/interface/main.c: moved all satellite-specific configuration options
    to the satellite plugin.
  * ./po/*: updated translations.

* added config_GetFloatVariable() and config_PutFloatVariable() to the config
  module.
* added a --zoom <float> config option.
* added a call to RestoreCPUState() in InitIDCT() in idct_sparse.h so that the
  FPU is still available after a call to InitIDCT().
* deactivate stream buffering when logging to a file.

  * ./po/fr.po: completed the french translation.
  * ./plugins/gtk/gtk.glade, ./plugins/gtk/gnome.glade: synchronized a few
    strings between the Gtk+ and GNOME modules to avoid duplicate translations.

* the last category from the config options wasn't displayed.

  * ALL: internationalized all configuration strings.
  * ./src/interface/main.c: we now set LC_CTYPE to get the right charset.
  * ./src/misc/configuration.c: lots of simplifications in the code.
  * ./po/vlc/pot: updated translations.

  (switch i {case 1: i=1;break; case 2: i=2: ...
  I'd better got to bed ;)
