 * modules/access/ftp.c : an ftp access, buggy but it begins to work.
The main issue is about password confidentiality so you must know
what you are doing :((

  effect should give you the feeling that you stands in a real room with
  a complete 5.1 speaker set when using only a headphone, providing a
  more realistic sound experience. It should also be more comfortable
  and less tiring when listening to music for long periods of time.It
  works with any source format from mono to 5.1.

  -> please try it and feel free to give me some feedback. Some
     improvements are already planned (adding echo, more configuration
     options, ...).

NB: whereas the filter itself is in a (very first) stable version, the
    way it is integrated to the filter chain is only a _temporary_ hack
    since it's the audio ouput core (input.c actually) which is directly
    responsible for it. Integrating it in a more suitable way will
    probably require some work on the way the filters are selected as
    well as on the configuration level, but I'm working on it :)

 * AUTHORS/MAINTAINERS: added Stephan Assmus, Arnaud Schauly & myself

  interface, in order to improve its clarity (the dialog box is now even
  a bit smaller) and to get closer to Windows standards.
  (second part of the job, and hopefully the last for now, begun with
  Ipkiss a few days ago by using CheckListBoxes)

  Still need some work to get the interface compatible with Windows XP
  skins.

* modules/codec/spudec/*: modified the spu decoder to handle text subtitles.
   Only one format of text subtitles is supported right now but we should be able
   to expand this by modifying modules/codec/spudec/text.c.
   Most of this work comes from by Andrew Flintham ( thanks a bunch Andrew :).

* share/font-eutopiabold36.rle: new font for the text subtitler, courtesy of
   Andrew Flintham.

* AUTHORS: added Andrew Flintham to the authors file.

* modules/demux/ogg.c: modified the ogg demuxer to handle subtitles.

* modules/codec/ffmpeg/*: modified the ffmpeg decoder to always keep the last decoded
   frame linked.

* ALL: New ogg demux and vorbis codec modules for preliminary support of
   ogg/vorbis streams.

    unnoticeable apart from the extra dependency on autoconf, automake and
    gettextize. See the new HACKING file for some information, especially if
    you don't run Linux.

    The current strategy is to have the configure script generate a nice
    automake Makefile from Makefile.am, and then clobber it with our good
    old dirty Makefile. Muahaha :-)

* Fixed a bug in float32tos16, where gcc over-optimized a little and
  caused problems on some platforms (eg. solaris).

    learn how to alpha sort.

* ./doc/vlc-howto.sgml : Fixed typos ;
* ./include/vlc_common.h : Greatly simplified ntoh*, and U??_AT macros are
  now alignment-safe ;
* ./STATUS : New file indicating who's working on what. Please keep it
  up-to-date ;
* ./MAINTAINERS : New file indicating who has knowledge on which parts.

  * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c: endianness fix for subtitles colour.
  * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c: little hack for preventing blank alpha
    palette.
  * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c: subtitle transparency support.

   Patches imported from v0_4_1_branch.

* Mac OS X icons and fixes, courtesy of Benjamin Mironer <bmironer@noos.fr>.

* filters were using memalign but freeing p_data instead of p_data_orig.
* updated MSVC++ project.
* small corrections to the LONGTEXT descriptions in main.c.

* Added a mpeg_ts_dvbpsi module tha uses libdvbpsi to decode PSIs. It is
  used by default if the lib is found. It shares much code with mpeg_ts

  * ./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.

  This should fix the problem that occured when reading a file directly
  extracted from a satellite card.
* UDP access plugin uses input_SetProgram.

  * ./AUTHORS: added people locations, just for fun.
  * ./configure.in: disabled SSE plugins when using mingw32.
  * ./src/misc/configuration.c: disabled the AltiVec warning message on the
    PowerPC platform because it was misleading.

  * ./AUTHORS: added myself :)
  * ./plugins/win32/mainframe.cpp: disabled the "hide interface" menu
    item, not yet implemented.
  * ./plugins/win32/about.dfm: replaced the outdated author list with a
    "VideoLAN Team" entry.

  * ALL: removed libdvdcss from the vlc tree.
  * ALL: removed libdvdread from the vlc tree.
  * ./acconfig.h: removed this file.
  * ./plugins/dvd/dummy_dvdcss.c: merged this file into dvd.c.
  * ./AUTHORS: moved a few gentlemen to the libdvdcss AUTHORS file.

  * ./po/ja.po: added Japanese translation from Fumio Nakayama
    <endymion@ca2.so-net.ne.jp>.
  * ./plugins/gtk/gtk_callbacks.c: fixed disc ejection code.
  * ./ChangeLog: how about a nice cup of 870 lines of ChangeLog for the 0.3.0
    release?

  * ./plugins/aa: aalib output plugin courtesy of Sigmund Augdal.
  * ./configure.in: fixed a few bashisms.
  * ./src/misc/configuration.c: fixed build under Solaris.
  * ./TODO: updated todo list.

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.
