I will now try to generate defconfig by bootstrap...

   It can finally decode properly all the samples I have.

  - some libcddb bugs found. Sent them upstream too.

* src/misc/httpd.c: use sockaddr_storage instead of sockaddr_in
         (so I may have a chance of storing a sockaddr_in6 one day)

  new method in which aclocal args first get stored in a variable.

* modules/gui/skins2/win32/win32_factory.cpp: implement minimize() on win32 (I need to access the window manager object from here, don't know if this is safe).

  - The VLCApplication is now launched at the vlc.c level instead of at the module level. Allows VLC to be a more valid Mac application, also removes the vout intf dependancy (use ncurses to disp. video :).
    This wasn't done at the libvlc level, because a mozilla plugin would no longer be able to function properly.
  - Some functionality of the macosx vout may not work without the OS X GUI, and not all of this is checked yet.
  - There is a symlink in VLC.app/Contents/Mac called clivlc that will force it back to a fullblown cli app when you want, so it can still be run by a user who isn't logged in via GUI.
  - there are some autorelease leaks which need to be tackled.
  - moved a lot of the VLCApplication func. to the VLCMain class.
  - VLCMain is a +sharedInstance now.
  - the complete OS X interface is still badly broken because of the many API changes lately. any volunteers?

Examples:
VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC [-I macosx]
launches VLC as before (requires you to be logged in via GUI)

VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC -I ncurses
launch vlc with a ncurses intf and display video on your mac
(requires you to be logged in via GUI)

VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/clivlc -I telnet -d
launch vlm remotely trough ssh in daemon mode, on a GUI'less server for instance, and stream your vids

Now how is that for combining GUI and cli in one application on the mac?!!? :)
jlj? I finally understand now how the OS X interface works !

* Fixed bootstrap to use pkg.m4 from contrib system
* Patches to make libcddb and vcdimager work
  (stupid bugs !, how do they compile with this on other system?)

   + When dealing with slow direct buffers, use a temporary picture to overlay subtitles (avoids slow reads during alpha-blending).
* modules/video_output/directx/directx.c: signal slow picture buffers.

fourcc YUVA to be used in subpicture rendering

shuffeling a playlist with 1 entry

   + start daemon mode before modules are loaded.
   + dummy interface is the default interface when in daemon mode.

   This plugin allows using DMO filters to decode some media types (eg. WMV3).

  this is also broken for encoding, but i'm not sure how to fix this.

  - always use the dummy interface as the primary interface
    in daemon mode.
  - always launch the logger interface as a secondary interface.
    (perhaps later let vlc log to /var/log if it has the rights? in append mode?)
  - any other interfaces should be launched with --extraintf
  - we should add a pid file option for daemon mode?

 twice after a "goto" or a "skip" command.
 I don't know if it is the proper fix, but at least the playlist is
 useable now ;)

* NEWS: let's keep it up to date, will mean less searching trough mailboxes in august.
