xine-lib (1.2.2) 2012-06-09

   * Fix musepack decoder compilation if libmpcdec headers aren't available.

   * Configure tests for xinerama & VideoCD support now soft-fail properly.

   * The DVB plugin is working again.

   * OpenGL OSD fix.

   * YUV conversion MMX/SSE optimisations.

   * YUV420 H.264 is playable now; YUVJ444P is correctly handled.

   * Support FLAC in Matroska; support BMP.

   * Various build fixes for Windows.

 xine-lib (1.2.1) 2012-02-04

   * The "I'm at Tyneside LUG" release.

   * Enable PulseAudio, JACK and VDPAU on the Hurd.

   * Rewrite of VDPAU OSD handling.

   * sndio plugin is now buildable.

   * Various bug fixes.

 xine-lib (1.2.0) 2012-01-01

   * Add support for VDR.

   * Add support for VDPAU.

   * xine-config is deprecated in favour of pkg-config libxine.

     Use "pkgconfig --variable=foo libxine" where you previously used

     "xine-config --foo".

   * Reorder and modify public structures to reduce the holes caused by padding

     especially on 64-bit architectures.

   * Remove the buttons array from video_overlay, as the feature linked to that

     was never implemented. This change reduces by 10MB the memory usage of

     xine-lib during playback (1/3 of the memory used while playing an mp3).

   * Update libmpcdec (formerly libmusepack) to version 1.2.6 (newer than the

     previous Subversion snapshot) and contextually move it to

     contrib/libmpcdec to separate from xine's own code.

   * Save plugins' cache in the defined cache home directory as per XDG Base

     Directory Specification.

   * Use XDG-defined cache home directory for cddb cache.

   * Use XDG-defined cache home directory for win32codecs fake registry.

   * Use XDG-defined data directories to look up fonts files both while using

     FreeType2 and the standard bitmap fonts for OSD.

   * Replace internal libdts 0.0.2 with libdca 0.0.5, and contextually move it

     to contrib/libdca to separate from xine's own code.

   * Add another message code to allow for auth prompts. Previously, it was

     not possible to distinguish between '401 Authentication Required' and

     '403 Forbidden'.

   * Merge the demuxer and the decoder for NSF files in a combined plugin.

   * Move modplug demuxing to its own plugin. This way, binary distributions

     can make it optional as it requires quite a bit of CPU time during

     initialisation, even for audio files that nothing have to do with modplug.

   * Collapse the Ogg demuxer, and the Theora, Vorbis and Speex decoders in the

     same 'xiph' plugin.

   * Remove aRTs output plugin; ALSA's DMix can allow both xine and aRTs to

     access the audio device at the same time for Linux, and if other

     operating systems lack a proper software mixing facility you can

     consider alternative daemons. Note: aRTs will not be present in KDE 4.

   * Convert the FAQ and the Hacker's Guide from DocBook SGML to DocBook 4.4

     XML, and the figures from fig files to SVG files.

   * The XML parser no longer ignores <?...?> elements.

     Such elements are handled as if they were after the XML content for

     compatibility reasons, though they must appear before it.

   * The XML parser handles CDATA elements.

   * Text handling within XML is improved.

   * DVB subtitles' opacity is now controllable.

   * Extend DVB subtitling capabilities. (Still bitmap-only.)

   * The internal copies of libcdio and libvcd are no longer present,

     you need to use an installed copy of them if you want VCD support.

   * Replace get_* functions for literals with direct string access.

   * Use default dispose() functions when they just need to call free() in

     various plugins.

   * Rename METHOD_BY_EXTENSION to METHOD_BY_MRL as it also checks prefixes

     for specific input protocols.

   * Check for supported extensions before opening the plugin and remove

     redundant core from plugins.

   * Use libavutil-provided implementations for CRC, SHA1 and BASE64 algorithms,

     this makes use of libavutil even outside the FFmpeg decoding plugin,

     but avoid duplication of algorithms between different plugins.

   * Use av_mallocz() when xine_xmalloc_aligned() wouldn't be needed.

   * FFmpeg is now required as an external dependency; if you want to build

     xine-lib from source, please download a copy of FFmpeg from their SVN

     server.

   * Remove SyncFB video output plugin, the kernel module needed is no more

     active and thus it's no more usable. If you were using SyncFB somehow,

     please use DirectFB or VIDIX instead.

   * The Xv and XxMC video output plugins now support Xv port selection via

     two methods: port number and port type (currently "any", "overlay" and

     "textured video"). Port number takes precedence; the plugins will fall

     back on another port of the same type (if a type was specified) then on

     whatever they can find.

     XvMC does not support port selection at present.

   * Report more video output capabilities via (port)->get_capabilities():

     colour controls, zooming, colour keying.

 xine-lib (1.1.21) 2012-06-09

 xine-lib (1.1.19) 2010-07-25

   * Handle odd widths properly (for ffmpeg-decoded video).

   * Make buildable with current (external) libdvdnav & libdvdread.

   * Fix V4L2 check.

   * Add support for Ogg tag 'DISCNUMBER' and ID3 tag 'TPOS'.

   * Add support for EAC3.

   * Recognise video/mp2t and video/mp2p.

   * TTA fixes.

   * Add support for Xv gamma adjustment.

   * Recognise ScreamTracker 2 & 3 files.

   * Fix playback of the first file handled by the modplug demuxer.

   * Refuse to build with known-broken libmodplug (0.8.8).

     http://bugs.debian.org/588465

   * Fix a potential freeing of unallocated memory.

     [Rafael Dominguez-Vega, MWR InfoSecurity]

 xine-lib (1.1.18.1) 2010-03-06

   * Oops. compat.c (for DXR3 support) was omitted.

   * Fix up V4L/V4L2 compilation. Some non-Linux have V4L2 but not V4L.

   * Fix a size check (wrong variable, causing int/ptr comparison) in rmff.c.

   * Fix build with the old, outdated and deprecated internal ffmpeg.

 xine-lib (1.1.18) 2010-02-23

   * Initial parsing of Xing header LAME extension.

   * Fixes for gapless playback.

   * Added padding delay to the first and last frames (MPEG audio).

   * Fixed buggy discontinuity handling when playing short streams and using

     the gapless switch. The current time should not be used here.

   * Added audio padding handling. (New buffer flag for this.)

   * Fix seeking in large raw DV files.

   * Ported to new libmpcdec API (retaining build compat. with the old API).

   * Cope with CDDB return code 211 (multiple entries).

   * Allow reading of non-block-sized chunks from audio CDs.

   * Add a user agent & protocol hack ("qthttp://...") to allow direct

     viewing of Apple film trailers.

   * Fixed int-to-float conversion in the JACK output plugin.

   * Handle VC1 extradata requirement (should fix playback).

 xine-lib (1.1.16.3) 2009-04-03

   * Security fixes:

     - Fix another possible int overflow in the 4XM demuxer.

       (ref. TKADV2009-004, CVE-2009-0698)

     - Fix an integer overflow in the Quicktime demuxer.

       (TKADV2009-005, CVE-2009-1274)

   * Enable libmpeg2new (if configured with --enable-libmpeg2new).

     This is not yet production code; the old mpeg2 decoder remains the default.

   * Add support for OpenBSD.

   * Fix a build failure on *BSD due to some rather useful GNUisms.

   * Protect audio loop so it cannot write to a paused device (fix

     pause/resume freeze with pulseaudio).

   * Fix build with libavutil >= 50.0.0.

   * Fix segfaults when playing VCDs.

   * Fix calculation of frame duration for ffmpeg-decoded formats.

   * Don't assume that ID3v2 tags with no content mean "end of ID3 data".

 xine-lib (1.1.16.2) 2009-02-10

   * Build fixes related to ImageMagick 6.4 & later.

   * Fix an error in Matroska PTS calculation.

   * Some front ends hang due to the hang fixes in 1.1.16. Fix this by

     removing a break statement.

   * Fix broken size checks in various input plugins (ref. CVE-2008-5239).

   * More malloc checking (ref. CVE-2008-5240).

 xine-lib (1.1.16) 2009-01-07

   * Security fixes:

     - Heap overflow in Quicktime atom parsing.                 (CVE-2008-5234)

     - Multiple buffer overflows.                               (CVE-2008-5236)

     - Multiple integer overflows.                              (CVE-2008-5237)

     - Unchecked or incompletely-checked read function results. (CVE-2008-5239)

     - Unchecked malloc using untrusted values.  (CVE-2008-5240, CVE-2008-5242)

     - Integer underflow in qt compressed atom handling.        (CVE-2008-5241)

     - Buffer indexing using untrusted or unchecked values.     (CVE-2008-5243)

     - Integer overflows in the ffmpeg audio decoder and the CDDA server.

     - Heap buffer overflow in the ffmpeg video decoder.

     - Avoid segfault on invalid track type in Matroska files.

     - Avoid underflow (compressed atoms) in the Qt demuxer.

   * Fix reported compilation failures (with C++ programs).

   * Fix CDDB access in 64-bit builds.

   * Fix seeking FLV clips that don't specify the movie length in the headers.

   * Support H.264 and AAC streams within FLV.

   * Fix timing issues (broken audio) on mingw.

   * Add ID3 tag TDRC to replace/complement the deprecated tag TYER.

   * Add a new meta-tag, "Composer", and use it in the FLAC demuxer.

   * Correct AAC channel ordering for multi-channel audio, at least for FLAC

     when using ALSA or PulseAudio. (Needs a proper fix.)

   * Add position-based seeking independent from seekpoints.

   * Fix some XCB Xv attribute configuration breakage.

   * Add a configuration option for Xv bicubic filtering, implemented in

     xf86-video-ati 6.9.1.

   * Recognise Xv "blitter" adaptors for port selection purposes.

     NOTE: you will need to remove ~/.xine/catalog.cache when upgrading from

           xine-lib 1.1.15 or older if you wish to use this extra option.

   * Fix MMS media requests where the URI contains %-encoded characters.

   * Fix two hangs related to stopping playback of broken audio streams where

     no audio data is sent to the output thread.

   * Fix WAV demuxer to send the last frames when they don't fit perfectly into

     the buffer

 xine-lib (1.1.15) 2008-08-14

   * Security fixes:

     - Fix crashes with various corrupted media files, including Ogg.

       (CVE-2008-3231)

       This includes a libfaad update from the 1.2 branch.

     - Delay V4L video frame preallocation until we know how large they'll be.

       (CVE-2008-5245)

     - Fix an exploitable ID3 heap buffer overflow.

       (CVE-2008-5234, vector 2)

     - Check for possible buffer overflow attempts in the Real demuxer.

       (CVE-2008-5235)

     - Use size_t for data length variables where there may be int overflows.

     - Add some checks for memory allocation failures.

       (CVE-2008-5233)

     - Fix crashes with MP3 files with metadata consisting only of separators.

       (CVE-2008-5248)

   * Use external ffmpeg and libfaad by default.

   * V4L: Don't segfault if asked for an input that doesn't exist.

   * Recognise AMR audio (normally found in 3GP files).

   * Recognise Snow video.

   * Xv deinterlacing didn't take the size of the deinterlaced image into

     account; on some chipsets, this would cause image corruption, while on

     others, there would be no problem.

   * V4L: only try and set the tuner if we're going to use it. Setting the tuner

     when using baseband video (CVBS, S-Video) breaks the input.

 xine-lib (1.1.14) 2008-06-29

   * DVB changes:

     - Reacquire PIDs whenever a PMT is parsed. (Some channels' PIDs are

       changed on a regular basis.)

     - Recognise more stream formats (as defined in the broadcast PMT).

     - Allow automatic detection of more DVB tuning parameters.

     - Allow the GUI to be disabled.

     - Allow configuration of the location of channels.conf.

   * V4L: allow TV standard selection.

   * Allow input plugins to report MIME type information.

     This is used for demuxer plugin selection immediately before testing the

     filename extension (so it won't work when demuxer selection is done by

     stream content only). [Bug #120]

   * Allow input plugins to ask for a specific demuxer, overriding the normal

     demuxer selection methods. (Most won't need this.)

   * The Xv and XxMC video output plugins now support Xv port selection via

     two methods: port number and port type (currently "any", "overlay" and

     "textured video"). Port number takes precedence; the plugins will fall

     back on another port of the same type (if a type was specified) then on

     whatever they can find.

     XvMC does not support port selection at present.

     (Backported from the 1.2 branch.)

   * Fix MPEG TS audio stream problems introduced in 1.1.13.

   * Add basic aspect ratio detection for Windows Media Video streams.

 xine-lib (1.1.13) 2008-06-15

   * Security fixes:

     - Buffer overflow in the NSF demuxer which may allow remote attackers to

       cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code

       via an NSF file with a long title or copyright message. (CVE-2008-1878)

     - For extra safety against possible Integer overflows like the ones found

       in CVE-2008-1482, backport more calloc usage from 1.2 branch.

   * Improved JACK output plugin.

   * Added MIME types and .mpp for musepack.

   * Fixed display of some MJPEG streams (YUVJ420P).

   * Deprecate xine_xmalloc() function, see src/xine-utils/utils.c for more

     information about the reason.

   * Provide a useful implementation of xine_register_log_cb().

 xine-lib (1.1.12) 2008-04-14

   * Security fixes:

     - Insufficient boundary check in speex audio decoder. (CVE-2008-1686)

   * Fixed and improved the PulseAudio driver.

   * Fixed a regression in 1.1.11.1 which broke Quicktime container handling.

   * And another, this time in the Matroska demuxer.

   * Added a tool to assist with generating front ends' desktop files. It

     lists MIME types & filename extensions known to the installed xine-lib.

   * Various Real codec improvements, including:

     - RV20 no longer causes segfaults (observed on amd64);

     - Cook is now handled by ffmpeg.

   * Added a video output plugin intended for passing raw data to the front end.

 xine-lib (1.1.11.1) 2008-03-30

   * Security fixes:

     - Integer overflows in FLV, Qt, Real, WC3Movie, Matroska and FILM

       demuxers, allowing remote attackers to trigger heap overflows and

       possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2008-1482)

   * Added a few more memory allocation checks to the above demuxers.

   * WAV file playback fix: don't assume that the first chunk is "fmt ".

   * Don't try to play partial 24-bit AIFF frames (decoder would lose data).

   * Fixed AIFF comment chunk handling and sample rate reading.

   * LPCM fixes: input over-reading, conversion of 24-bit samples.

 xine-lib (1.1.11) 2008-03-19

   * Security fixes:

     - Array Indexing Vulnerability in sdpplin_parse(). (CVE-2008-0073)

   * Reworked the plugin directory naming so that external plugins don't have

     to be rebuilt for every release. We now use a naming scheme based on the

     API/ABI versioning, checking older directories - with this release, the

     plugin directory name is 1.20, and if this gets bumped to 1.21 in a

     future release, 1.20 will still be available for external plugins.

     (Any directories not 1.* won't be looked in.)

   * Made the version parsing much more reliable; it wasn't properly coping

     with four-part version numbers. This affects any program whose build

     scripts use xine-lib's automake macros.

   * Fixed an off-by-one in the FLAC security fix patch. This breakage was

     causing failure to play some files.

   * Support 16-bit big-endian DTS audio.

   * Improved frame snapshot API. (ABI extension.)

   * Re-add support for # (stream parameter separator) in raw filenames,

     without the bugs found in the original implementation.

     (This is a convenience feature for users only. Front ends which rely on

     it for functions like subtitle file detection must instead use file://

     MRLs; if they don't, we consider them to be buggy.)

   * Fixed long delay when closing stream on dual core systems [Bug #33]

   * DVD playback improvement: don't trust the file sizes.

   * Build fixes for use with recent ffmpeg.

 xine-lib (1.1.10.1) 2008-02-07

   * Security fixes:

     - Array index vulnerability which may allow remote attackers to execute

       arbitrary code via a crafted FLAC tag, causing a stack buffer overflow.

       (CVE-2008-0486)

     - Buffer overflow in the Matroska demuxer (demuxers/demux_matroska.c)

       which may allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash)

       or possibly execute arbitrary code via a Matroska file with invalid

       frame sizes. (CVE-2008-1161)

   * Fix a RealPlayer codec detection bug.

   * Improve detection of MP3 streams with ID3v2 tags. Don't trust the tag

     size.

 xine-lib (1.1.10) 2008-01-26

   * Security fixes:

     - Buffer overflow which allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary

       code or crash the client program via a crafted ASF header.

       (CVE-2008-1110, related to CVE-2006-1664)

   * Update Ogg and Annodex mimetypes and extensions.

   * Change the default v4l device paths to /dev/video0 and /dev/radio0.

   * Fix support for subtitles with schemes (e.g. http://), partly broken

     since 1.1.8.

   * Unescape the filename in "#save:". This allows filenames to contain ';'

     etc. without ambiguity, e.g. "#save:foo%3B1.ts" -> "foo;1.ts", but front

     end authors should be careful with xine-lib older than 1.1.10.

   * Backported xine-config & libxine.pc from 1.2.

     Consequently, xine-config now requires pkg-config.

   * Don't discard audio samples forever. Fixed streaming playback.

   * Fix a possible crash on channel change in the DVB plugin.

   * Flash video demuxer improvements and bug fixes.

   * Make the V4L ALSA audio input device configurable. (This needs more work.)

 xine-lib (1.1.9.1) 2008-01-11

   * Security fixes:

     - Buffer overflow which allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary

       code via a crafted SDP Abstract attribute.

       (CVE-2008-0225, a.k.a. CVE-2008-0238)

       (Fix ported from mplayer changeset 22821)

   * Fix a read-past-end bug in xine-lib's internal strtok_r replacement.

     (Only affects systems without strtok_r.) [Bug #19]

   * Fix a bug which causes video playback display errors on PPC/Darwin.

 xine-lib (1.1.9) 2008-01-06

   * Fix dvd://.../title[.chapter] handling (somewhat broken in 1.1.8).

   * Fix switching DVB subtitles channels.

   * DVB sub: switch to dyn mem alloc and allow multiple CLUTs per page.

   * Check if DVB sub PTS is reliable and show sub immediately if it's not.

   * Fix incorrect H.264 detection on successive MPEG1/2 B frames.

   * Add UI option to configure FFmpeg's video decoder thread count.

   * Improve syncing of audio and video in the presence of bad frames.

   * Improve handling of invalid or unknown frame sizes.

   * Fixed handling of streamed Flash videos (broken in 1.1.5).

   * Fixed division by zero in sputext decoder

   * Build fix for when using Linux 2.6.23 headers. [Bug SF 1820958]

   * Implemented decoding of XML character entities with codes >= 256.

     This requires conversion to UTF-8 of entities with codes >= 128.

   * Handle initial Unicde BOMs in XML; convert other UTF encodings to UTF-8.

   * Fixed ATSC support. [Bug SF 1749508]

   * Fixed a possible DVB plugin crash when switching channels.

   * Fixed a crash closing the frontend. [Bug #7]

   * Fixed deadlock on ao_close while paused.

   * Nicer wakeup behaviour, using select instead of nanosleep (800 -> 100

     wakeups/s).

   * Fixed ALSA close function to not discard all data that had been written

     but not played yet.

   * Fixed a race condition between ao_loop and ao_close to not lose the last

   * Always enable a52dec capabilities for external a52dec, this makes it

     possible to use the DJB accelerated FFT when using the external a52dec

     liba52 library. [Bug #9]

   * Fixed an input_pvr issue with 'set input' for ivtv versions 0.10.6+

   * demux_aiff: only check for chunk's size being lesser than 100 when

     reading the COMM_TAG. [Bug #6]

   * Avoid potential mislinkage at install time if a system-wide libxine.so

     is present but is *not* pointing at libxine.so.1.

   * Update French translation, thanks to Christophe Giraud. [Bug #15]

   * Detect corrupted or broken seek tables in CBR MP3 files. [Bug #3]

   * Fixed an issue in input_pvr with setting the frequency of the tuner for

     ivtv versions 0.10.6+

   * Add Turkish translation by Serdar Soytetir and Server Acim.

   * Workaround for subtitle rendering when using variable-length character

     encodings other than UTF-8. (There is probably still some breakage here.)

 xine-lib (1.1.8) 2007-08-27

   * Send a channel-changed event to the frontend when receiving the SYNC

     string from last.fm streaming server.

   * Disable mediaLib support by default (the licenses probably disallow the

     distribution of xine binaries built against mediaLib, and on non-VIS

     capable boxes it's probably worse than our own code).

   * Rename endianness-reading macros so that they don't collide with Solaris

     system macros. BE_/LE_ are now _X_BE_ and _X_LE_.

   * Add an extra function to allow front ends to rename their old,

     badly-named configuration items.

   * Various build fixes and cleanups for Solaris, plugin dependencies etc.

   * Fix some memory leaks in the Vorbis decoder and video overlays.

   * Fix a problem with the goom plugin which could cause it to stop working.

   * Clean up "%" unescaping in MRLs; correctly handle "%" in DVD and VCD MRLs.

   * Fix a crash with "dvb:/".

   * DVB subtitle fixes: deadlock prevention, thread leakage, spec compliance.

   * Allow the DVB input plugin to timeout if it is receiving no signal.

   * Fix an audio resampling problem which was causing regular clicking.

   * Fix build with recent glibc and a debugging #define. [Bug SF 1773769]

   * Fix handling of multiple MPEG TS audio streams & subtitle languages.

   * Add colouring for bold & italic in text subtitles.

   * Simple scaling of subtitles to fit the frame width (intended to cope

     with common DVB resolutions such as 544x576).

   * Various small video frame-handling bug fixes.

   * Add options to control bob deinterlacing in the XxMC video output plugin.

 xine-lib (1.1.7) 2007-06-07

     Mitchell for reporting and testing the fix.

   * Avoid zero-sized frames when demuxing MPEG PES.

   * Improved MPEG2 detection and optimised processing.

   * Extract AFD information (commonly used in UK DVB-T) from the MPEG stream.

   * Ensure that the ffmpeg video image size is properly initialised.

   * Allow XxMC to switch back to software decoding; don't deinterlace if it's

     not needed for any given frame.

   * Document "dvba:" MRLs (ATSC with full tuning info).

   * Fix VCD playback (broken since 1.1.4).

   * Fix demuxing of FLAC files with ID3v2 tags.

   * Use the integer versions of Speex decoding functions, this avoids an

     iteration over the decoded frames to transform them to integers, and

     also avoids an improper saturation.

   * Prioritize the musepack demuxer over mpgaudio, as sometimes the latter can

     misfire and report a good file as unplayable.

   * Fix an mmap problem with huge files on 32-bit systems.

   * Improved MPEG PES stream handling: specifically, misdetection of data

     streams as PES streams.

   * Handle unplugged ALSA device (fixes crashes) and if the frontend does not

     handle the event continue playback to the none output.

   * Disable aRTs output plugin by default, it's deprecated and will be removed

     in 1.2 series.

   * Fix a colour format conversion crash in the fb video output driver.

 xine-lib (1.1.6) 2007-04-17

   * Split the DirectFB plugin into X11 and non-X versions.

   * Improve the Mac OS X video output plugin. Thanks to Matt Messier.

   * Fixed the XcbXv plugin - an empty plugin would be built if "old" Xv

     isn't detected.

   * Reworked the channels.conf file handling in the DVB plugin. Previously,

     with junk content, the plugin could potentially consume lots of memory

     (possibly causing a local DoS). Also, a few small memory leaks have been

     eliminated.

   * Fixed a CDDA-related crash and a DVD-related hang, both caused by the

     same change in 1.1.5.

 xine-lib (1.1.5) 2007-04-10

   * Security fixes:

     - Fix heap overflow in DMO and DirectShow loaders.

       Thanks to Kees Cook for reporting.

       (CVE-2007-1246 & CVE-2007-1387) [Bug SF 1676925]

   * Improved PulseAudio plugin, now only one connection per instance is opened

     and the mainloop is threaded to reduce latency during playback.

   * Added XCB-based output plugins (Xv and XShm), to use in software using

     XCB to talk with the server rather than libX11 (like new Kaffeine).

     The plugins are contributed by Christoph Pfister with the help of

     Vincent Torri, Jamey Sharp and Christophe Thommeret.

   * Fix race condition in alsa audio out driver.

   * Fixed a crash in the eq2 plugin. [Bug SF 1644312]

   * Fixed content type detection for AAC (seekable) streams with ID3v2

     tags prefixed clobbering the preview buffer, by skipping over the tag.

   * Parse ID3v2 tags on AAC and FLAC files, as well as mp3 files.

   * Priority of the AAC encoder is now lower than anything else, so

     it's not going to crash xine down if you try to run an mp3 stream

     on FAAD2.

   * Relicense the xine-lib XML parser under the GNU LGPL, for use in other

     projects.

   * Improvement in portability to Solaris and NetBSD, thanks to Albert Lee and

     Sergey Svishchev respectively.

   * Spanish translation updated by Carlos E. Robinson M.

   * Don't leave libstk support to be detected automagically; also made it

     disabled by default as upstream is dead and a different libstk is found

     on Debian.

   * Improvement in portability to FreeBSD, merged some patches (with changes)

     from the ports.

   * Cleaned up Real binary codecs support, adding support for FreeBSD (still

     to be completely cleaned up though), and to 64-bit platforms. Also add

     two new configure option, one to enable or disable building of Real binary

     support altogether and one to choose the path where to look for the codecs

     by default (it can, and probably should) be different from the Win32

     codecs path.

   * Avoid a possible floating-point exception when starting stream playback.

   * Now xine can play correctly media on HTTP servers reporting status codes

     but no status message.

   * Wave files with 24-bit integer PCM streams now should play correctly

     (downplayed to 16-bit).

   * Added centre-cutout (4:3 in 16:9) to the expand plugin.

     Patch by Reinhard Nissl.

   * Fix support of block devices for AC3 and DTS demuxers. Thanks to Matthias

     Kretz for the original patch.

   * Portability fixes for Mac OS X, in particular Mac OS X on the new Intel

     Macs. Thanks to Martin Aumueller, Emanuele Giaquinta and Matt Messier.

   * Fix amp muting when level is still at 100. Patch by Reinhard Nissl.

   * Create at least a 1×1 shared image when the first frame is skipped (and

     thus reported as 0×0), to avoid disabling shared memory for all others.

     Patch by Reinhard Nissl.

   * Send an event when the amp level is modified. Patch by Reinhard Nissl.

   * Add support for H.264 video stream in PES packets. Patch by Reinhard Nissl.

   * Support multiple audio PID in MPEG TS. Patch by Julian Scheel.

   * Improvement in portability to OpenBSD, thanks to Pascal S. de Kloe.

 xine-lib (1.1.4) 2007-01-28

   * Mark string-type configuration items according to whether they're plain

     strings or names of files, device nodes or directories. This information

     is available to front ends (via .num_value) so that they can present

     file/dir-open dialogue boxes if they so choose.

     Subtitle font selection is split up due to this.

   * Applied the patch to fix text relocation, provided by PaX Team for Gentoo

     and previously applied by other distributions as well. Fixes the non-PIC

     code being generated. Note: patch reverted for tomsmocomp (segfault).

   * Fix race condition in audio_out by using a recursive mutex; patch by

     Reinhard Nissl. [Bug SF 1551911]

   * Allow building with Sun CC by fixing the lprintf variadic macro; patch by

     Taso N. Devetzis. [Bug SF 1614406]

   * Fix disposing of image buffers in video_out_xv when SHM get disabled by

     exhaustion of memory; patch by Matthias Drochner. [Bug SF 1620339]

     by Roland Kay. [Bug SF 1602631]

   * Don't check for libpostproc version and assume that if libavcodec is found

     correctly, libpostproc is of the same version, too. Reported by Ville

     Skyttä. [Bug SF 1617344]

   * Fix Shorten demuxer: the whole "ajkg" signature has to be found, not only

     one character of it. [Bug SF 1601134]

   * Implement at least a partial content-based detection of ModPlug-decoded

     module files, using the magic numbers from GNU file. This allows to open

     module files based on content rather than on their extension only.

     [Bug SF 1445746]

   * Make the libFLAC-based decoder and demuxer for FLAC files work with recent

     FLAC release 1.1.3.

   * Replace --enable-flac configure option with --with-libflac, as the FLAC

     support is always built-in through the audio demuxer plugin and the FFmpeg

     decoder plugin, the option only controls the extra FLAC plugin that uses

     libFLAC both for demuxing and decoding.

   * Implement a True Audio files demuxer. [Bug SF 1586381]

   * Fix several segfaults and freezing problem with H264 streams that use a lot

     of reference frames (eg. 15) [Bugs SF 1603305, SF 1576588, SF 1267713]

   * Fix mpeg4 artifacts introduced in cvs (not present in 1.1.3)

     [Bug SF 1625911]

   * Initial support to enable/disable ffmpeg codecs. Codecs may be disabled in

     groups by --disable-ffmpeg-uncommon-codecs/--disable-ffmpeg-popular-codecs

     Think of "uncommon" codecs what people would never want to play with their

     PDAs (they will save memory by removing them).

     Note: currently both uncommon/popular codecs are _build_ but disabled.

     that is, build system still need some improvements to really save memory.

   * Fix possible division by zero when pausing (video_out.c).

   * Allow disabling build of musepack decoder through a ./configure parameter

     (--disable-musepack).

   * Allow using external libmpcdec for MusePack decoding rather than the

     internal copy of an old libmusepack, through a ./configure parameter

     (--with-external-libmpcdec).

   * Add support for WavPack files, with both a demuxer and a decoder using

     WavPack library. As an alternative, FFmpeg's audio decoder can be used

     to decode WavPack files.

   * Don't crash when caching a file opened through Samba plugin, thanks to

     Timothy Redaelli from Gentoo.

   * Fix audio/video sync problem with NTSC DVDs (introduced in 1.1.2).

   * Replace custom ALSA check with pkg-config check, and make sure 0.9.0 is

     the requried version.

   * When the compiler supports it, enable hidden visibility for all the

     plugins to export only the plugin info entry (and eventual needed

     special functions), to replace the min-symtab option that wasn't working.

   * Add "m4b" to the list of supported file extensions for the Qt demuxer, to

     allow playing (unprotected) audiobooks in AAC format.

   * Reduce the dead time when trying to connect to dead hosts, by falling back

     to non-blocking sockets on the last address found for an host, and allowing

     users to provide a connection timeout. [Bug SF 1550844]

   * Return the correct error message to frontends when a file is inaccessible or

     the network connection is broken. [Bug SF 1550763]

   * Support libcaca 0.99, thanks to cjacker huang.

   * Fix crash on video-only WMV streams. [Bug SF 1564598]
