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.

* Objective-C files are now .m
* Fixed a major bug in the spu decoder
* Disabled auto-hiding of mouse cursor since it doesn't work when browsing
  menus ; instead, click in the video window

  * ./plugins/win32/win32.cpp: fixed `--intf intfwin' which wasn't working.
  * ./Makefile: we don't include the Gtk+ and SDL DLLs in the win32 package
    anymore, the package is now 700k instead of 4MB.
  * ./configure.in, ./Makefile, ./Makefile.opts.in: replaced LIB_FOO with
    foo_LDFLAGS and CFLAGS_BAR with bar_CFLAGS for faster builds, and moved a
    lot of stuff from Makefile.opts.in back to configure.in.
  * ./install-win32: updated script for NSIS 1.96.

   I hope this doesn't break too many other architectures...

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.

  * Fixed an issue in Makefile.dep causing to rebuild unnecessary files
    in the gtk/gnome and x11/xvideo plugins.
  * Fixed CFLAGS_XVIDEO.

  * Updated version number to 0.2.82.
  * Updated ChangeLog.
  * Fixed a typo in Makefile.dep.

  * Got Makefile to launch ./configure almost properly. $(MAKECMDGOALS) rules !
  * Various debian scripts fixes.
  * Added -lmsvcrt40 to the win32 flags for proper execution under Wine.
  * Fixed broken soname setting under Solaris (and OS X, sort of).
  * Made the illegal instruction report more explicit.
  * BSD/OS 4.3beta1 fixes by Steven M. Schultz <sms@TO.GD-ES.COM>.

  * Various little fixes
   - BeOS interface compilation fix by Rene Gollent.
   - DirectX plugin compilation fix by Gildas Bazin.
   - removed %ebx spill in the iMDCT plugins.

  * Added .cvsignore files in the plugins directories.
  * Additional Makefile cleaning for built-in modules.
  * Fixed Makefile for Solaris target.

  * Beginning of the built-in modules support.

   A few words about the changes:

  - heavy Makefile butchery has taken place, each plugin now has its own
    Makefile. I know recursive make blablah harmful, but it was just so
    much easier to do this way.

  - Makefile.in has disappeared, we now generate Makefile.opts with
    the overall configuration options, and Makefile.modules which is
    specific to module compilation.

  - After ./configure has been run you may want to modify Makefile.opts
    to check which modules will be compiled built-in or as plugins.

  - Some modules cannot be compiled built-in right now because proper
    linkage doesn't work yet. We don't really care since they're the
    interface or video output modules. The most important stuff works
    (iDCT, motion, YUV, input).

  - It's perfectly valid to compile a module both as built-in and as a
    plugin. vlc will only load the built-in one, but I'll add an option
    to ignore built-in modules for testing purposes.

  - We *should* see a performance increase here. I didn't have much time
    to test it, but if anyone can confirm and perhaps give a rough
    estimate of how much we gain...

   The BeOS port seems to work again.

   I used this command to play an unencrypted DVD, but maybe there is a
   better solution: ./vlc dvd:/dev/disk/ide/atapi/1/master/0/raw

   Current problems: gcc doesn't like MMX-EXT instructions, and refuses
   to have register %ebx being used in the main application. Grr.

   ,-- don't trust the CVS bot, it's Sam speaking here :)

 * Should have fixed the dependency generater for some plugins.

Voil� le changelog appoximatif :

 . fichier INSTALL plus clair
 . vir� quelques warnings
 . *PATH sont maintenant d�finis dans config.h
 . quelques fautes d'orthographe

 - suppression d'encore quelques #include inutiles.
 - la gestion des plugins est maintenant encapsul�e dans misc/plugin.c
  un peu comme les threads, pour faciliter le portage.
 - l�ger remaniement de l'output pour --help et --version
 - les p_ts_packet sont cast�s en (void *) pour �viter un warning sous
  certaines architectures.
 - ajout de la GPL dans un fichier COPYING
 - fichier README avec rien dedans pour le moment, � part la liste de
  toutes les personnes ayant particip� au projet. J'en ai *forc�ment*
  oubli� certains, alors si vous avez un nom, rajoutez-le. de m�me, s'il
  y a un gros con que j'ai mis par erreur dans la liste et qui n'a jamais
  rien fait pour le projet, n'h�sitez pas � le supprimer sournoisement.
 - fichier AUTHORS avec la liste des gens ayant boss� sur le client. j'ai
  mis toutes les personnes ayant fait au moins un commit, ainsi que Henri
  parce que je sais qu'il bosse sur l'audio, et HPReg, Steve et Oli parce
  qu'ils ont boss� dessus aussi. Par contre ici aussi j'ai fort probable-
  ment oubli� des gens. Corrigez !
