changed their movie urls lately so that old versions of cclive don't work
anymore)

* Remove redtube remains from the src tree
0.5.6
-------------
Added --substitute which mimics Perl's s/old/new/(gi) substitution.
It can be used to replace substrings in output filenames.
Example:
% cclive -S "s/old/new/i" URL
% cclive -S "s/[/:-]/_/g" URL
Changed --regexp to accept Perl-like regular expressions, e.g.
% cclive -r "/(\w+)/" URL
% cclive -r "/(\w+)/g" URL
% cclive -r "/([a-e])/gi" URL
Note that this breaks the backward compatibility.
* --regexp now expects /pattern/(gi)
* --find-all is no longer supported (use /g instead)
Added --background which is similar to what clive (2.1.x) once had.
The progress indication while in the background is very simplistic.
Note that --logfile and --logfile-interval options were also added
to support --background.
0.5.2
-------------
New youtube format: fmt34. This was previously referred to as youtube
default format which no longer appears to be the case. Note that the
fmt34 video quality and resolution may vary.
Fixes a few bugs.
Redtube support is broken.

Release 0.5.0
-------------
The dependency of Perl and HTML::Tokenizer module have been replaced with
libiconv and PCRE for significantly lower system footprint. Perl was previously
used for parsing video titles and cleaning them up.
configure no longer supports --enable-sigwinch. The support is now compiled
into the program automatically if signal.h is found and defines SIGWINCH.
tests/ have been rewritten in C++.
Other notable changes:
Removed options:
--title
- obsoleted by --filename-format since 0.4.1
--cclass, --no-cclass
- obsoleted by --regexp and --find-all (below)
New options:
-r, --regexp
- Defines the regular expression that can be used to "filter"
video titles before they are used for filenames
-g, --find-all
- Used together with the above to repeat the matching to find
all occurences, similar to Perl's /g option
Example:
cclive -gr "(\w|\s)" URL

SIZE RES Notes
clive 2.2.4 ~13924k ~10388k Perl all the way
cclive 0.4.7 (w/ perl) ~8300k ~6908k Video titles enabled
cclive 0.4.7 (w/o perl) ~5940k ~3224k No video titles
cclive 0.5.0 ~5780k ~3196k Video titles enabled by default
SIZE = total size of the process (text, data, and stack)
RES = current amount of resident memory
Note : Figures are approximates. cclive was built with "-O2 -march=pentium4"
Tested: FreeBSD 7.2, numbers provided by top(1), numbers vary slightly per URL
cclive is a cross-platform command line video extraction tool for
user-uploaded video hosts such as Youtube, Google Video, Dailymotion,
Guba, and Metacafe. It can be chained with 3rd party tools for
subsequent video re-encoding and playing.
It is similar to clive, but has less requirements.
