* 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>.

  * 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 ?)

  * Code cleanup: removed a few tabulations.
  * Fixed inline asm routines to remove all read/write operands.
  * Added <string.h> to most files to prevent warnings under FreeBSD.
  * Added "break;" after "default:" in case switches to prevent
    warnings when compiling with GCC 3.0pre.

* Added a fps display when toggling 'i' ;
* Fixed a bug in the video parser where one picture buffer was not
released at quit time ;
* Broke the mux_rate calculation, but hey guys ! it was already broken and
nobody noticed it.

* Changed video decoder's error messages into warnings.

  Beginning of Interface II
 ---------------------------

 * Plugins have completely disappeared, we now only use the new module API.
 * All intf and vout modules are now independant. So far, only the Gnome
   intf module and the SDL vout module have been ported. configure.in has
   been modified to reflect the changes (x11 and dummy aren't compiled by
   default anymore, while SDL and Gnome are).

  Note that this is _not_ Interface II, it's just a step forward. For
  instance, it lacks the whole message passing scheme.

  Things that should work:

 * Right-clicking on the SDL video output window brings the Gnome menu.
 * Pause, Play, Exit, About work from the menu or from the interface window.
 * The old SDL keys still work.

   Things that are broken or may be broken:

 * Xlib calls are not locked yet, which may lead to "Unexpected async reply"
   errors, and make the vlc segfault.
 * Sound only works for the first file.
 * The SDL vout_sdl.c file is absolutely ugly and kludgey.
 * The vlc immediately quits when no filename is given as an argument. Not
   a real bug, but still annoying.
 * The Gnome menu does not work in fullscreen mode.

   Things that will come soon, maybe tomorrow:

 * Complete navigation buttons (fast forward, slow, etc.).
 * File/Open menu to add files to the playlist.
 * Return of the X11 video output for those of us who do not have SDL.
 * Textmode interface for those of us who do not have Gnome.
 * aout and vout autospawn (maybe).

    The motion compensation routines are now modules as well ; choose your
  implementation with `--motion motion', `--motion motionmmx' or
  `--motion motionmmxext'. Of course, the best implementation is chosen
  if you don't ask for any. There doesn't seem to be any performance hit
  due to the move to shared libs, which is a good thing. Please test
  actively if you have time, though.

    Updated --help result, manpage, INSTALL document, and a few files.

    I moved vdec_motion.h and vpar_blocks.h back to /include because they
  will be needed to build motion compensation modules, but perhaps we don't
  need to export everything which is in these files.

    /src/video_decoder/ now has only one .c file, perhaps it could now be
  merged with video_parser ?

This might break things. Expect a performance increase.

* Removed -fargument-noalias-global which causes problems with as (???).

test it, replace vdec_motion_inner_mmx.c by vdec_motion_inner_mmxext.c.

I'm interested in performance feedback.

* Fixed a bug in the DTS/PTS ordering.
Our pts are _at last_ accurate.

 . the IDCT functions are now located in modules : the classic IDCT,
   our optimized IDCT, and MMX IDCT.
 . cosmetic changes for modules (pf_* instead of p_*)
 . fixes to the BeOS and dummy modules

   WARNING: a new directory has been added, which means you have to
   use `cvs update -dP' to update ; files have been removed , which means
   you either have to run `make distclean' or remove the .deps directory,
   and the configure script has changed, which means you have to run it
   again. Don't complain before having checked this :)

   Note about the IDCT modules: there is no way to choose the one we
   use, but you may remove the module in lib/ to prevent it from being
   loaded. The preference order is : MMX, Optimized, Classic.

- Added vlc_mutex_destroy and vlc_cond_destroy function, for pthreads.
- Used them before quitting, every lock and cond is destroyed
- Checked the return value of malloc and realloc in input_programs
- Cosmetic changes

TODO: add vlc_*_destroy for beos and C_thread

* --enable-sdl and some others are now --with-sdl[=name] to supply an
optional library name ;
* deleted all unnecessary #include <sys/uio.h> ;
* /usr/include is now searched when looking for libraries and headers.

It seems to compile and run on BSD. Under Linux Sam's latest commit makes
vlc crash on startup, so I can't really tell, but hey it compiles.

* Fixed a bug in vpar_headers.c synchro handling introduced before ;
* Enhanced synchro's handling of dates and frame structure changes.

 . no need to add "\n" at the end of intf_*Msg() messages anymore.

* Temporarily removed b&w kludge.

All decoders should now exit cleanly (if it's not the case, it should be
referenced as a bug).

* Fixed a bug in the parser when trashing an already parsed frame
* Simplified (and enhanced) vpar_synchro for B pictures
* Lowered the synchro DELTA

pictures, if you notice anything please ring my bell.

--Meuuh (live from Julie)

  * removed float operations in the video decoder, and all emms asm functions
  * borrowed linuxvideo's MMX motion compensation
  * fixed an undefined symbol in the MMX YUV plugin

Meuuh & Sam.

 . suppression de Makefile
 . rajout de include/defs.h.in qui g�n�re include/defs.h

 pour g�n�rer le Makefile et defs.h il faut lancer ./configure

 pour ceux qui voudraient toucher � configure.in, "include/defs.h.in" est
g�n�r� par la commande autoheader, et "configure" est g�n�r� par autoconf

r�organiser les headers pour que ce soient les headers les plus proches
du syst�me qui se retrouvent en premier (threads.h devrait toujours �tre
le premier des headers non syst�mes). J'ai du aussi rajouter un type
plugin_id_t et par la m�me occasion inclure plugins.h dans la plupart
des fichiers. Voici en vrac les modifs les plus importantes que j'ai op�r�:

o L�g�re r�organisation pour les raisons �voqu�es ci-dessus (certaines
  macros comme MIN et MAX peuvent �tre d�j� d�finies par le syst�me et
  interf�rer avec celles d�finies dans common.h ou autre)

o Dans intf_msg j'ai du remplacer les vasprintf par des vsprintf
  dans le cas o� ARCH=BEOS.

o la commande hostname du Makefile n'�tait pas compatible et je
  l'ai donc enlev�, en avons-nous besoin ? Auquel cas il suffit de
  rajouter un ifeq.

o J'ai aussi remplac�  les bzero et bcopy par memset et memmove.

o plugin.c, mtime.c et threads.h et quelques fichiers de l'input
  ont �t� adapt�s � BeOS � grand coup de #ifdef SYS_*.

TODO:

o Ecrire intf_beos.cpp, vout_beos.cpp et aout_beos.cpp

Je suis sous linux et je viens de tester le client qui marche tr�s
bien, mais il est n�anmoins possible que j'ai introduit quelques
probl�mes de compilations pour certains modules, si c'est le cas
pr�venez moi.

le flood, c'est la derni�re fois.

  . apr�s le demoronifier, le GPLifier: il y a les ent�tes de la GPL dans
   chaque fichier ; votre mission, si vous l'acceptez, est de mettre votre
   nom dans chaque fichier qui est votre oeuvre ou auquel vous avez
   particip�, pour qu'on sache qui a fait quoi. Pas de fausse modestie,
   c'est plus pour des raisons pratiques que pour la gloire.

  . rajout de -lthreads pour que �a linke sous Hurd

  . rajout de quelques #include pour que �a compile sous FreeBSD
   (d'ailleurs �a compile mais �a ne linke pas, je ne sais pas comment
   linker avec la libpthread sur la machine de Dae)

  . quelques #ifdef SYS_BSD �� et l�.

   . 11 moronic long lines destroyed
   . 1282 trailing spaces eradicated
   . 4 ugly macros fixed
   . 5 innocent a_bit_long lines shortened

   . 5987 tabulations transform�es en espaces
   . 153 '??' transform�s en 'XXX??' ou 'FIXME??'
    (ptyx, j'esp�re que ce compromis te convient)

   . commentaires en // corrig�s en /* */
    (je parle bien des commentaires, pas des morceaux de code
     mis en // comme les printf de debug par exemple)

Au passage :

   . version du vlc modifi�e en 0.1.99 (la release sera la 0.2.0)
   . suppression de video_x11.h
   . correction d'un warning dans intf_ctrl.c

d'erreur qui sont affich�s sur stderr vous donnerons une bonne id�e du nombres
d'occasions de planter qui se pr�sentent au client.

J'ai aussi remis le flag DEBUG � 1 et commenter omit-frame-pointer pour que
tout le monde puisse avoir la chance de participer � la chasse aux segfaults
avec son gdb. Les bugs report sont le bienvenu (surtout si c pour l'audio ;).

pas trop mal marcher sur ma machine mais qui j'en suis s�r ne marchera pas du
tout sur la votre.

A noter qu'il existe maintenant 3 synchros que l'on peut choisir en changeant
le define dans vpar_synchro.h (POLUX_SYNCHRO, SAM_SYNCHRO, MEUUH_SYNCHRO)

 . *3dfx* devient *glide*
 . suppression de tabulations dans quelques fichiers
 . suppression des 2 warnings dans sam_synchro
 . video_* devient vout_* quand ce sont des m�thodes de vout
 . tentative de correction de la d�tection de MMX pour BeOS
 . nouvelle option vlc_vout_method (faute de mieux pour le moment)
 . modification du Makefile pour supporter plusieurs VIDEO_*

dor�navant on peut compiler plusieurs output diff�rents dans le
client. la pr�f�rence se fait dans l'ordre x11, fb, ggi, glide...

si on le compile avec x11 et fb, par d�faut il se lancera en X.
pour le lancer en framebuffer :
./vlc vlc_vout_method=fb

(il faut que je proprifie un peu le choix de l'output, et que je
facilite l'ajout d'un nouveau vout_*)

 D�sol� pour le flood. Les en-t�tes de fonctions ne font plus 81
caract�res, et il n'y a plus d'espaces inutiles, Tous les trailing
spaces ont disparu, j'ai essay� de v�rifier que �a ne p�tait rien,
mais j'ai pu oublier un truc con. J'accepte tous types de ch�timents
� base d'orties fra�ches.

 D�sol� d'avoir aussi modifi� les fichiers de ceux qui formataient
bien proprement leurs en-t�tes � 80 et pas 79 sans emb�ter personne,
mais j'ai d� choisir entre les deux.

 Dor�navant ce serait bien de formater les en-t�tes et les commentaires
justifi�s � droite � 79 colonnes, ou au pire � 80.

 . 1343 moronic long lines destroyed
 . 12893 trailing spaces eradicated
 . 115 ugly macros fixed
 . 959 innocent a_bit_long lines shortened
 But hey, 40054 lines were OK !
