This move was authorized by the developers, either:
- by e-mail,

It is possible, that some minor piece of code was badly tracked, for
some reasons (SVN, mainly) or that some small developers did not answer.
However, as an "œuvre collective", defined as in "CPI 113-2 alinéa 3",
and seeing "Cour. Cass. 17 Mai 1978", and seeing that the editor and
the very vast majority of developers have agreed (> 99.99% of the code,
> 99% of developers), we are fine here.
Unfortunately, the C standard requires an 'unsigned char' value or EOF.
So we cannot blindly pass a 'char' value, which may be signed depending
on the architecture.
Missing some cases that I could not test.
Also ffmpeg/chroma.c is locked, so I can but leave it broken.
Fix is for the remaining modules is obvious and the issue is easy to detect.
* ./modules/misc/testsuite/*: moved the null module into three test modules
that are only built when --enable-testsuite is activated. This directory
can be a good place for compilation tests or performance benchmarks.
gtk_main() in its own thread, and does nothing on subsequent calls. This
ensures that gtk_main is only running once.
* ./modules/gui/familiar/*, modules/gui/gtk/*: the familiar, gtk and gnome
modules are now fully reentrant thanks to their use of the gtk_main module.
* ./src/libvlc.c: implemented vlc_set(), a wrapper for config_Put* available
to external programs.
* ./src/libvlc.c: removed vlc_stop() and vlc_end(), everything is now done
by vlc_destroy().
* ./modules/control/rc/rc.c: implemented a few new functions. For instance,
run "vlc -I rc" and then type "intf gtk" or "intf gnome". You can even
launch several of them. "segfault" works, too.
waveout, directx, qnx, beos, win32, macosx, and the AltiVec modules.
* ALL: removed mention of AC3 in favour of A52.
* ./configure.in, ./Makefile*: modules can now be built deeper than 1
directory. As a consequence, the build is even slower (but I'm fixing
this) and make clean doesn't work anymore.
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.
now be included *before* threads.h ;
* Changed all files to include intf_msg.h before threads.h ; while I was
at it, I update the copyright notices ;
* Removed the obsolete darwin plug-in.
duplication
. YUV transformations now use the new module API ; now only the vout
and interface still depend on the old plugin API
. changed TestMMX to TestCPU because we will be able to test for other
specific extensions (3DNow, SSE) for the forthcoming IDCT we'll
borrow to mpeg2dec (as usual :P)
. don't show "hiding module" messages anymore except in debug mode
. swapped C IDCT and Classic IDCT scores since the classic one seems
to be faster ; anyway you should use the MMX one
. fixed a Makefile bug under BeOS
. tried to fix the cpuid code so that it compiles under BeOS (Polux, can
you test it when you have time ?)
. made the audio_output API a bit simpler.
. got rid of modules_config.h.
. fixed `make install' rule.
. fixed warnings in the MMX YUV compilation.
. probably fixed a bug in the input : pp_foo structures were free()d at
the end, but this was useless since the last call to realloc() is
equivalent to free(), and two consecutive calls to free() aren't a
goo idea.
. we check that the version number match and that we don't already have
a module by that name when loading a new module.
. all public module_* functions now properly lock the module bank.
. the audio_output now uses the new module API ; EsounD and DSP modules
have been ported, which should be enough for Henri to port the ALSA one.
The new plugin API is now much simpler ; it's now just a matter of
calling module_Need( p_main->p_module_bank, MODULE_CAPABILITY_FOO, p_data );
and if successful we get the best module. Capabilities can be ORed, so that
one can ask for a plugin that does VOUT _and_ INTF actions for instance.
It's not complete yet though -- by making it generic I had to do a few
ugly casts here and there, which I am going to fix ASAP. Also, command line
selection of a plugin does not work yet.
The switch to the new plugin API has probably broken the BeOS audio
output ; we can either wait until the whole vlc has switched to the new
plugins, or create a separate beos_sound.so that conforms to the new API.
