"libdvdcss is a simple library designed for accessing DVDs like a
block device"
Don't install libnullplugin.so into the "active plugins" directory
(lib/${MOZILLA}/plugins). This is a pointless plugin, and only serves
to annoy you every time you access a page that wants an unavailable
plugin. At least mozilla's default behaviour (without this plugin)
gives you the option to tell it "please shut up, I *KNOW* I don't have a
flash plugin, so stop nagging me".

Major user noticable items this release include:
- Compilation that encounters syntax errors is more robust.
- An assertion failure involving placeholder_type was solved.
- Many other minor bugs have been fixed; including a number of
segfaults and regressions present in 1.17.
Items of interest to developers and open source hackers include:
- Completely revamped error reporting system from Elliott Hughes
which simplifies the task of adding a new error message.
Also note that in 1.18 we have removed the copy of the GPL that was
improperly packaged with versions 1.15 through 1.7 due to a mis-
configuration of automake in the Jikes source tree. While the GPL license
was erroniously included with the sources for those three version, no
source file referenced it, and all source files, help texts and user
messages continued to reference the proper IBM license, which was also
bundled.
