* on Win32 the config file is now stored under the "Application Data" folder
  belonging to the user. (this works if at least IE4 is installed, otherwise
  the old method is used to get the config directory)

  * ALL: renamed PLUGINS to __PLUGINS__ to avoid conflicts with libraries
    defining it. Grmbl.
  * ./src/input/input_ext-plugins.c: cosmetic change.

* ./plugins/avi a light  avi demux
* ./plugins/ffmpeg a video decoder for divx v3 and opendivx

 * plugins/win32/preferences.cpp: fixed a compilation bug

    upcoming work.

* DirectX video output plugin now uses triple buffering for YUV overlay. This
  improves the video quality a lot (no tearing) without affecting performance.
  (I knew double buffering sucked but I just discovered why triple buffering
   is better: you don't have to wait for the vsync to flip the buffers).

* Fixed the DirectX video output for non-overlay modes. It was only working
  in RGB16 before.

* Fixed the mouse autohidding feature in the DirectX plugin
 (at least partially).

* Fixed the spu decoder to take the pitch of the destination picture into
  account when rendering the subtitles (Implemented only for the YUV modes).

    to avoid retrieving the spu palette from a network stream as if it was
    a DVD.

  * 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.

    transformations. They're now PIC-friendly as well.

  * Some changes to the control layout.

    verbose messages.
  * ./po/en_GB.po: British translation.

* Fixed the warning_level handling: "-v" and "--warning" are now working as
  they should and they also are cumulative (using -vv --warning=3 you end up
  with i_warning_level=5)

  * ./src/misc/configuration.c: support for short options. -V, -A, -I
    are back, and we also have -4 and -6 for IPv4/IPv6.

* 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.

  * ./po/de.po: updated german translation. Many thanks to Thomas Graf.

  . Url & mailing-lists corrections

* 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.

  * ./vlc.spec: fixed build dependencies.
  * ./configure.in: when -lintl is available, we now also link plugins with it.

  * ./include/threads.h: fixed a segfault under Solaris, thanks to Meuuh.
  * ./plugins/spudec/spu_decoder.c: RGB 24bpp and 32bpp support.

  * ./configure.in: switched version to 0.3.1.
  * ./vlc.spec: imported Mandrakesoft's latest enhancements.
  * ./ChangeLog: updated ChangeLog.

  * ./configure.in, ./plugins/network/ipv6.c: support for the GNU glibc
    extension gethostbyname2(), thanks to Thomas Graf.

picture in the screen, and make the remaining space black instead of
white, PLEASE drop me a mail !

  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.

* MacOS X interface shouldn't take as much CPU as it used to ;
* Fixed a bug in Altivec-enabled MC (thanks walken) ;
* Fixed a case of segfault in Altivec-enabled memcpy.

inspired by Gildas Bazin.

* added options to configure antenna (sat_lnb_lof1, sat_lnb_lof2,
  sat_lnb_slof and sat_diseqc). They only appear if satellite input
  is compiled.

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

failure case, symbol rate limits in gnome interface were wrong)

* added FEC choice in command line, gtk and gnome interfaces. Command
line is now
satellite:<frequency(Hz)>,<polarization(0=V,1=H)>,<fec(1=1/2,2=2/3...)>,
<symbol rate(kbyte/s)>

  * ./src/misc/modules_plugins.h: implemented a dlerror()-like wrapper
    for the Win32 API.

* fixed another bug in PS demux : the first program added was at the
same time declared as the current program and as a new program, which
made the ES be selected two times.

* fixed a bug in input_SetProgram, that made the ps file input
launch without video. Sorry about this.
