Changelog:
Overview of changes in gst123-0.2.0:
* Made --shuffle, --repeat and --random behave identical to ogg123 options.

* Support "none" audio driver which disables audio output.
* Added --full-version option which prints versions of the
libraries used by gst123.
* Support --enable-debug configure option.
* Minor fixes.
work correctly, at least on NetBSD: mkvmerge happens to spin and burn
CPU time without any progress in output file generation, the old
version finishes the same task properly
Improvements since 0.8.8 release are:
* Avoid drawing operations when the window is obscured, including when
Gnash is used as a plugin, starting with Firefox 4.0 (GTK GUI).
* Support SWF with embedded ScreenVideo when using FFMPEG or
gstreamer-ffmpeg >= 0.10.12.
* Fix playback of SWF-embedded ADPCM audio when using Gstreamer.
* Fix playback of SWF-embedded PCM audio when using FFMPEG.
* Fix swapped _framesloaded and _totalframes properties.
* Fixes for several crashes, with better automated testing of the
entire ActionScript API for input sanitization.
* Improved ActionScript performance processing, especially
for interactive applications.
* npapi plugin: fix relative urls resolution in presence of <base> tag
and "base" parameter; improved robustness and compatibility with
chromium browser.
* Improved SWF8 support with BitmapData.draw, BitmapData.loadBitmap,
and other bitmap functions.
* Re-entrant core libraries.
* RTMP remoting support.
* Support for PNG and GIF files in all DefineBitsJpeg tags; support
for DefineBitsJpeg4 tags, and fix display of some GIFs with
multiple records.
* Restore support for mingw32.
* fb-gnash: allow specifying size and offset of rendering "window".
* dump-gnash: improved speed, sync and flexibility.
* JPEG screenshot output.
* Support for linear RGB interpolation mode in gradient fills.
* Clipboard setting (GTK only).
* More flash.geom.Rectangle functions.
* Improved OpenBSD compatibility
Gecko Media Player is a browser plugin that uses GNOME MPlayer to play media in
a browser. It should work with all browsers on Unix-ish systems (Linux, BSD,
Solaris) and use the NS4 API (Mozilla, Firefox, Opera, etc.). Gecko Media
Player is in heavy development, but I wanted to get some code drops out there
so that people can start using and testing it.
pkgsrc change and notes:
* Update PLIST to reflect PKG_OPTION setting.
* With pulseaudio and sdl PKG_OPTION, I couldn't build the package because
of vlc-cache-gen core dump.
* x11 PKG_OPTION could be elminated since the package won't build without it.
Changes between 1.1.7 and 1.1.8:
--------------------------------
Mac OS X Interface:
* New UI graphics by Damien Erambert
Interfaces:
* Oldrc interface is again the default RC interface, on Windows
* Luarc, luahttp and luatelnet fixes
* Qt and Mac OS X fixes
* numerous Skins2 fixes, notably winamp2 skins
Encoder:
* new libschroedinger-based Dirac codec encoder, faster than the current one
Access/Demuxers/Codecs:
* Subtitles auto-detection is back for .txt files
* vod/rtsp server and rtsp input fixes
* mp4 demuxer improvements
* ogg, rstp input, video filters minor fixes

Translations:
* Update for Finnish, Galician, Dutch, Chinese, German, Japanese, Lithuanian,
Slovak, French, Polish, Estonian, Brazillian Portuguese and Hebrew
* New icelandic translation
* build system: Fixed building the Qt version of mkvinfo's GUI (again).
* mmg: bug fix: If the header editor finds 'language' elements with ISO-639-1
codes (e.g. "fra" instead of "fre" for "French") then it will map the code to
the corresponding ISO-639-2 code
* mmg: bug fix: Fixed one of the issues causing mmg to report that it is
configured to use an unsupported version of mkvmerge when the reported
version was actually empty.
* mkvmerge: enhancement: HD-DVD subtitles are recognized as being an
unsupported file format. This makes the error message presented to the user
a bit clearer.
* build: Boost 1.36.0 or newer is required (up from 1.34.0). Also fixed
building with v3 of Boost's filesystem library, e.g. with Boost 1.46.0
Beta 1 or newer.
* mkvpropedit: new feature: Added support for adding, replacing and removing
tags.
* all: Added a translation for the programs into Turkish by ßouЯock.
* build system: Fixed compilation if configure choses the internal versions of
libebml and libmatroska while older versions are still installed in a
location named with "-I..." or "-L..." in CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS/LDFLAGS or with
configure's "--with-extra-includes" and "--with-extra-libs" options.
Version 0.0.26
rawconference: Correctly check if thread is internal
rawstream: Don't start sending before having codecs
rawsession: Only manipulate the valve from the session itlsef
rawsession: Simplify transform bins creation
rawsession: Remove g_debug
rawsession: Unref the right object
rawsession: Only remove sink if it has been added
rtpconference: Correctly check if a thread is internal
rtpstream: Fix reference leak in fs_rtp_stream_set_negotiated_codecs_unlock()
Keep a ref to the fakesink
fsrawconference: Make the construction more consistent
In the construction of a raw session we add a bunch of elements. For all
elements unref them in _constructed if adding them to the bin fails, for
all other failures, leave it to the _dispose function to remove and
unref the elements
Use full prefix, even for private functions
Add a transformation bin the source pipeline
As upstream negotiation in Gstreamer still doesn't actually work, we'll
need to change transform elements around every time the caps are changed
as that will cause a re-negotiation and things will keep working..
Unfortunately managing dynamic pipelines has its own challenges, so add
a tee ! fakesink which will eat all the errors for us...
fsrawconference: Make fsrawstream explicitely ask the session to set the direction
fsrawconference: Cope with fs_raw_session_new returning NULL
0.7.7nb1 to 0.8. There's a note in the libmatroska Changelog about
using macros defined in libebml-0.8.0, so I used that version number in
the dependency, but I tested only against libebml-1.0.0.
Version 0.0.25
nicestreamtrans: Fix off-by-one bug
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34291
Version 0.0.24.1
Version 0.0.24
tests: Rtcp test doesn't make sense in raw
rtp: add default prefs to EXTRA_DIST
tests: Fix another race in tests
nicestream: Skip Nice errors if the component has never been ready
nicestream: Fix small leak
nicestream: Sort ipv4 addresses first
utils: Fix doc string
utils: the keyfile stuff already checks the user dirs
utils: Pass the element directly instead of its factory name
utils: Check default properties/codecs in user data dir too
rtp: Add default-element-properties
utils: Add function to get default element properties
rtp: Add default codec preferences
utils: Add function to get default codec preferences
raw: Don't delete non-generated files
Remove the temporary socket directory after usage
nicetransmitter: Place the local socket in the tmp dir
Don't hardcode /tmp, instead use g_get_tmp_dir to potentialy get it from
the environment, but falling back to /tmp
nicetransmitter: Add documentation for create-local-candidates
nicetransmitter: Add an option for the transmitter to pick the local side
rawconference: This is really meant to be called on the stream.
nicetrans: Only emit local-candidate after gathering
Unfortunately libnice doesn't currently support doing connectivity
checks untill it has finished gathering. If we send a remote peer our
candidates before finishing gathering they can start sending us
connectivity checks before we're ready for them...
So instead sends the local candidates in one batch when gathering is
finished, so we'll be ready for the connectivity checks.
rawconf: Put the whole caps into the encoding_name in codecs
rawconference: Make FsRawStream codec doc visible.
docs: Improve the title
docs: Add docs for the raw plugin
raw: Remove trailing whitespace

cuseless
rawsession: Codec has already been validated
raw: Don't check for stuff in the codecs that is meaningless for raw
rawconference: Add a test with the shm transmitter.
rawconference: Remove stream from session in stream's dispose.
There's a chance that removing the stream when the session has it
weak-reffed can be called from a streaming thread. This can cause
it to crash and/or deadlock. This patch changes the stream to
call the remove_stream function in the session in its dispose
function. The stream already protects itself from being disposed
in a streaming thread and therefore prevents the crash/deadlock.
rawconference: Use local conference variable.
tests: Split the rtpconf extra init into separate callbacks for stream and conf
tests: Split the rawconf extra init into separate callbacks for stream and conf
rawconference: Remove weak_ref when done.

rawconference: blocking_id will always be 0 here.
rawconference: Remove transmitter-pad from the public API.
rawconference: Correctly use g_value_set_boxed instead of _take_boxed.
rawconference: Use macro instead of g_mutex_lock directly.
This patch creates and uses FS_RAW_SESSION_LOCK and _UNLOCK and
FS_RAW_STREAM_LOCK and _UNLOCK to improve the ability to debug
mutexes.
rawconference: Add @author to the files I made.
rawconference: Misc style and error checking fixes to Sjoerd's commits.
When adding streams, sync the element states with the parent element
When removing a stream, make the valve drop packets again
rawconference: Change signature of function to avoid collision.
This patch changes the signature of fs_codec_to_gst_caps to
fs_raw_codec_to_gst_caps to avoid colliding with a function of
the same name in the FsRtpConference plugin.

The program gst123 is designed to be a more flexible command line
player in the spirit of ogg123 and mpg123, based on gstreamer. It
plays all file formats gstreamer understands, so if you have a
music collection which contains different file formats, like flac,
ogg and mp3, you can use gst123 to play all your music and video
files.
It is implemented in C++ and licensed under the GNU LGPL version 2.

VAAPI (Video Acceleration API) enables hardware accelerated video
decode/encode at various entry-points (VLD, IDCT, Motion Compensation etc.)
for the prevailing coding standards today (MPEG-2, MPEG-4 ASP/H.263, MPEG-4
AVC/H.264, and VC-1/VMW3).
Someone who groks linker issues should try to make the asm code
position independent. Until then I suspect we will end up using
--disable-asm everywhere.
with two changes by me:
-disabled symbol versioning - this didn't work correctly for me
-changed PKGVERSION to start with the release date, so that it
sorts correctly against the snapshots we had before

Furthermore, paths for codecs is not adjusted for pkgsrc.
Bump PKGREVISION.
used in gxine build to convert svg into png. There is a replacement
"rsvg-convert" with different cmd line syntax, but it seems to me that
this is all unnecessary -- gxine can display the svg files as well.
So, to keep things simple, fix the PLIST to reflect the status quo
and drop the useless build dependency.

Gnash 0.8.5 released !
Improvements since 0.8.4 release are:
Due to better XML parsing compatibility and a minor fix to NetConnection,
many more video sites work than in the last release. Support for new
codecs keeps YouTube support up to date.
XML parsing, Selection implementation, Sound and MovieClip fixes mean
that many BBC Flash movies (not the BBC iPlayer) now work.
Potlatch support is improved with better remoting compatibility and
XML parsing.
All of the Orisinal morning sunshine games now work due to support for
Mixed SWF Versions runs.
* Support for saving streamed (FLV, H264, MP3 etc) and loaded (JPEG,
SWF, PNG, GIF) media to disk.
* Basic GUI warning messages when media decoding fails (usually
missing codecs).
* Added support for FLV parsing and decoding of H.264 video and
AAC audio.
* Scaled video smoothing implemented in AS and in default renderer
(AGG). YouTube video looks better when Gnash is running with high
quality or better.
* Support for _quality implemented with user-specified
override. (Presently only affects video smoothing in the default
renderer).
* Made NPAPI plugin quiet, except on plugin-specific errors (to
reduce .xsession-errors pollution).
* Implemented LoadVars.toString(), XML.send() and LoadVars.send().
* XML parsing made compatible (less strict), XML.xmlDecl and
XML.docTypeDecl implemented.
* XMLNode methods implemented: getPrefixForNamespace(),
getNamespaceForPrefix(), namespaceURI, localName, prefix. Handling
of attributes corrected.
* New GUI for KDE4 / Qt4 with SWF properties and Gnash preferences
dialog boxes.
* Corrected AS enumeration order.
* Fixed incorrect mouse event on double click (shouldn't exist).
* Implemented MovieClip.getURL(), MovieClip.attachBitmap().
* Implemented POST for send() and getURL() methods.
* Added support for parsing and decoding Speex audio in FLV files
using libspeex.
* __resolve property implemented. Fixes a Flickr Flash badge.
* Video.clear(), Video.width and Video.height implemented.
* Multiple NetStream.play() fixed.
* Fixed support of mixed-version swf runs.
* Fix decoding of RAW and UNCOMPRESSED audio with gstreamer media
handler
* Improve SWF4 compatibility.
* Improve compatibility in setting characters properties.
* NetConnection.isConnected and NetConnection connect events
implemented (fixes various video sites).
* Remoting support generally improved (NetConnection).
* Make initialization object available to MovieClip constructor
(attachMovie, duplicateMovieClip).
* Sound.getBytesLoaded, Sound.getBytesTotal implemented.
* Complete Selection class implemented.

Sixth alpha release of Gnash (0.8.4).
Improvements since 0.8.3 release are:
More visible to users:
* The -d switch won't behave the same as in 0.8.3. This is a
temporary thing, we'll likely bring it back to its original
behaviour for next releases. If you're curious, -d will now
change heart beating rate.
* Support for MIT SHM X extention is disabled by default `cause
it broke (*grin*). We'll get it back on next release. Let us
know if you really notice a performance degradation on the
rendering side please <gnash-dev@gnu.org>.
* Keep Adobe happy with our users and our users happy with us by
changing "Flash player" into "SWF player" everywhere. Adobe
claims "Flash" as a trademark and had asked a Linux distributor
to fix it.
* The popular SWF Twitter badge now renders correctly.
* Fix parsing of urls containing multiple question marks
* Fix support for movies embedding multiple sound streams
* Support for loading PNG and GIF images added.
* Improved rendering of SWF movies because of the less visible
changes listed below.
* Support for writing RGB/RGBA PNG images and JPEG images.
* Works with Potlatch OpenStreetMap editor
* New 'flvdumper' utility for analyzing FLV video files.
* XPI packaging support for Mozilla & Firefox.
Less visible to users:
* Improved SWF version 8 support:
o flash.geom.Point, flash.geom.Rect, flash.geom.Matrix classes
implemented.
o flash.geom.ColorTransform almost fully implemented.
o flash.display.BitmapData partially implemented.

implemented.
o MovieClip.transform implemented, with ability to find and apply

o Playback of VP6F video (SWF version 8 FLV) with Ffmpeg.
* Fixes and implementation of ActionScript 2 classes:
o NetConnection.call() implemented: initial support for flash Remoting
o toString() method of objects called correctly, String.split
implementation fixed.
o XMLSocket onData method implemented properly, other methods fixed.
o Error class implemented.
o XML and LoadVars sendAndLoad() now derive from a common base object
(loadable AS object); fixes the popular SWF Twitter badge.
o addRequestHeaders and contentType implemented for LoadVars and XML.
* VM bugfixes and improvements:
o Heart beating model, allowing for fine-grained interval timers and
threading reduction.
o Frame label fix (case sensitivity).
o Fixes and improvements to Color and cxform.
o SWF matrix made faster and more compatible (golf.swf works now!)
o try/catch/finally ActionScript expression handled more correctly.
o Parse and partially use ScriptLimits tag. Handle stack limit more
correctly.
o Fixed scoping issues for SWF <= 5
o Bitmap characters now support alpha.
* Media handling improvements:
o Pluggable architecture for MediaHandlers (ffmpeg/gst available)
o Media-handler agnostic Sound and NetStream classes
o Numerous bug fixes in ffmpeg and gstreamer media handling
* SWF version 2-specific fixes:
o PlaceObject tag display fixed (also applies to SWFs generated with
some free tools)
o DefineButtonCxform tag implemented).
* Codebase improvements:
o Renamed the 'server' directory to be a more accurate 'libcore'.
Merge 'libgeometry' into 'libbase'
o Keep Adobe happy with our users and our users happy with us by
changing "Flash player" into "SWF player" everywhere (a Linux
distributor received a demand letter).
o Numerous cleanups and changes to improve portability.
Third maintenance release for 0.11.2
Two crash fixes, the youtube generator could generate an information page
that crashed kmplayer and a XML document with trailing XML fragments also
crashed kmplayer.
A revert of the in-place playlist item title renaming in 0.11.2. There was
no easy way to rename a new group for instance.
Second maintenance release for 0.11.2
Support for redesigned youtube with updated konqueror and resolution change
fix in the npp backend, opening a DVD with MPlayer now shows the titles on
the disk again, the pause button didn't pause list items and local file
name encoding fixes.
