* Fix static linking with pkg-config file (Alan H).
The FFmpeg Project proudly presents FFmpeg 2.4 "Fresnel", just 2 months
after the release of 2.3. Since this wasn't a long time ago, the Changelog
is a bit short this time.
The most important thing in this release is the major version bump of the
libraries. This means that this release is neither ABI-compatible nor
fully API-compatible. But on the other hand it is aligned with the Libav
11 release series, and will as a result probably end up being maintained for
a long time.
Important API changes since 2.3:
• The new field mime_type was added to AVProbeData, which can
cause crashes, if it is not initialized.
• Some deprecated functions were removed.
• The avfilter_graph_parse function was made compatible with Libav.
• The Matroska demuxer now outputs verbatim ASS packets.
Please refer to the doc/APIchanges file for more information.
libavformat
• Icecast protocol.
• API for live metadata updates through event flags.
• UTF-16 support in text subtitles formats.
• The ASS muxer now reorders the Dialogue events properly.
• support for H.261 RTP payload format (RFC 4587)
• HEVC/H.265 RTP payload format (draft v6) depacketizer
libavfilter
• Ported lenscorrection filter from frei0r filter.
• Large optimizations in dctdnoiz to make it usable.
• Added codecview filter to visualize information exported by some codecs.
• Added silenceremove filter.
libavutil
• Added clip() function in eval.
Behaviour changes
• dctdnoiz filter now uses a block size of 8x8 instead of 16x16 by default
• -vismv option is deprecated in favor of the codecview filter
• libmodplug is now detected through pkg-config
• HTML documentation generation through texi2html is deprecated in
favor of makeinfo/texi2any
• ICY metadata are now requested by default with the HTTP protocol
Release 0.26.5

* 736017 : Sequence number is not monotonic after PAUSE command
--[ Redis 2.8.17 ] Release date: 19 Sep 2014
# UPGRADE URGENCY: HIGH for Redis Sentinel.
LOW for Redis Server (unmodified compared to 2.8.16).
* [FIX] Resolved a memory leak in the hiredis library causing a memory leak
in Redis Sentinel when a monitored instance or another Sentinel is
unavailable. Every reconnection attempt will leak a small amount of
memory, but in the long run the process can reach a considerable size.
--[ Redis 2.8.16 ] Release date: 16 Sep 2014
# UPGRADE URGENCY: HIGH for Redis if you are using 2.8.15 + AOF.
LOW for Sentinel.
* [FIX] The ability to load truncated AOF files introduced with Redis 2.8.15
contains a bug fixed in this release: after loading the file was not
truncated to the last valid command, so the new commands are appended
after a non well formed command. This means that:
1) The first AOF rewrite triggered by the server will automatically
fix the problem.
2) However, if the server is restarted before the rewrite, Redis may
not be able to load the file and you need to manually fix it.
In order to fix a corrupted file you should start the redis-check-aof
utility WITHOUT the --fix option, just to check the offset where the
corruption is found. Around the offset reported by the check utility
you'll find, inside your AOF file, a command which is not complete
according to the Redis protocol. Just remove this incomplete command
leafing the file unaltered before and after the offending command,
and restart the server.
IMPORTANT #1: Redis 2.8.15 is the only stable version of Redis with
this bug so probably no actual real-world problem happened since the
problem is automatically fixed at the first automatic AOF rewrite.
IMPORTANT #2: Before upgrading to Redis 2.8.16, if you are using Redis
2.8.15 with AOF enabled, make sure to trigger a manual AOF rewrite
using the BGREWRITEAOF command.
* [FIX] SAVE is no longer propagated to AOF / slaves.
--[ Redis 2.8.15 ] Release date: 12 Sep 2014
# UPGRADE URGENCY: LOW for Redis, HIGH for Sentinel.
* [FIX] Sentinel critical bug fixed: the absolute majority was computed in a
wrong way because of a programming error. Now the implementation does
what the specification says and the majority to authorize a failover
(that should not be confused with the ODOWN quorum) is the majority of
*all* the Sentinels ever seen for a given master, regardless of their
current state.
* [FIX] GETRANGE test no longer fails for 32 bit builds (Matt Stancliff).
* [FIX] Limit SCAN latency when the hash table is in an odd state (very few
populted buckets because rehashing is in progress). (Xiaost and
Salvatore Sanfilippo)
* [NEW] Redis is now able to load truncated AOF files without requiring a
redis-check-aof utility run. The default now is to load truncated
(but apparently not corrupted) AOFs, you can change this in redis.conf.
(Salvatore Sanfilippo).
* [NEW] Sentinel: ability to announce itself with an arbitrary IP/port to work
in the context of natted networks. However this is probably still
not enough since there is no equivalent mechanism for slaves listed
in the master INFO output. (Dara Kong and Salvatore Sanfilippo)
--[ Redis 2.8.14 ] Release date: 1 Sep 2014
# UPGRADE URGENCY: HIGH for Lua scripting users, the server could crash because
of a bug introduced in Redis 2.8.10, otherwise LOW.
LOW for Redis Sentinel.
* [FIX] Don't prevent use of shared integers if maxmemory policy is non-LRU.
(Salvatore Sanfilippo)
* [FIX] Fail SYNC if background save child aborted due to a signal.
(Yossi Gottlieb)
* [FIX] Different small redis-cli fixes. (Dov Murik, Charsyam, cubicdaiya,
Kashif Rasul, Jan-Erik Rediger, Matt Stancliff)
* [FIX] AIX compilation fixes. (Siah Lyimo)
* [FIX] A number of other smaller issues.
* [FIX] Improved SIGINT handling (Matt Stancliff, Salvatore Sanfilippo)
* [FIX] Use unsigned types in SDS header to raise limit to 4GB.
(Matt Stancliff, Salvatore Sanfilippo)
* [FIX] Handle signed/unsigned comparisons with more care around the code.
(Salvatore Sanfilippo)
* [FIX] Colorized test output fixed to don't change the background color.
(Mariano Pérez Rodríguez)
* [FIX] More Sentinel IPv6 fixes. (Eiichi Sato)
* [FIX] Deny CLIENT command in scripts. (Matt Stancliff)
* [FIX] Allow datasets with more than 2 billion of keys, initial work.
* [FIX] Fix a Lua scripting crash by storing the length of the static
argv when first allocated. (Paddy Byers)
* [NEW] Pub/Sub PING. (Salvatore Sanfilippo)
* [NEW] Much faster ZUNIONSTORE. (Kyle Hubert, Salvatore Sanfilippo)
* [NEW] Faster ll2string() implementation. (Salvatore Sanfilippo)
* [NEW] **WARNING, minor API change**: PUBSUB NUMSUB: return type modified
to integer. (Matt Stancliff)
* [NEW] redis-benchmark support for AUTH. (CharSyam)

CHANGES IN V1.0.59
- cupsfilters.drv: Added PPD file for a Generic IPP Everywhere
Printer, generating PWG Raster output.
- gstoraster, pdftoraster, imagetoraster: Allow PWG Raster
output with print queues using a PPD file, using the new
"PWGRaster" PPD attribute.
- pdftoraster: Removed "cm_disabled" flag in selectConvFunc()
- libcupsfilters: Allowed color management to continue while
invalid input
- rastertopdf: Streamlined PDF conversion code
- rastertopdf: Invert all CUPS_CSPACE_K documents by default

avoid a segfault caused by it (Bug #1227).
2.6.3
-----------
- fix issue575: xunit-xml was reporting collection errors as failures
instead of errors, thanks Oleg Sinyavskiy.
- fix issue582: fix setuptools example, thanks Laszlo Papp and Ronny
Pfannschmidt.
- Fix infinite recursion bug when pickling capture.EncodedFile, thanks
Uwe Schmitt.
- fix issue589: fix bad interaction with numpy and others when showing
exceptions. Check for precise "maximum recursion depth exceed" exception
instead of presuming any RuntimeError is that one (implemented in py
dep). Thanks Charles Cloud for analysing the issue.
- fix conftest related fixture visibility issue: when running with a
CWD outside a test package pytest would get fixture discovery wrong.
Thanks to Wolfgang Schnerring for figuring out a reproducable example.
- Introduce pytest_enter_pdb hook (needed e.g. by pytest_timeout to cancel the
timeout when interactively entering pdb). Thanks Wolfgang Schnerring.
- check xfail/skip also with non-python function test items. Thanks
Floris Bruynooghe.

6.0.2
-----
* Issue #262: Fixed regression in pip install due to egg-info directories
being omitted. Re-opens Issue #118.
-----
6.0.1
-----
* Issue #259: Fixed regression with namespace package handling on ``single
version, externally managed`` installs.
---
6.0

* Issue #100: When building a distribution, Setuptools will no longer match
default files using platform-dependent case sensitivity, but rather will
only match the files if their case matches exactly. As a result, on Windows
and other case-insensitive file systems, files with names such as
'readme.txt' or 'README.TXT' will be omitted from the distribution and a
warning will be issued indicating that 'README.txt' was not found. Other
filenames affected are:
- README.rst
- README
- setup.cfg
- setup.py (or the script name)
- test/test*.py
Any users producing distributions with filenames that match those above
case-insensitively, but not case-sensitively, should rename those files in
their repository for better portability.
* Pull Request #72: When using ``single_version_externally_managed``, the
exclusion list now includes Python 3.2 ``__pycache__`` entries.
* Pull Request #76 and Pull Request #78: lines in top_level.txt are now
ordered deterministically.
* Issue #118: The egg-info directory is now no longer included in the list
of outputs.
* Issue #258: Setuptools now patches distutils msvc9compiler to
recognize the specially-packaged compiler package for easy extension module
support on Python 2.6, 2.7, and 3.2.
---
5.8
---
* Issue #237: ``pkg_resources`` now uses explicit detection of Python 2 vs.
Python 3, supporting environments where builtins have been patched to make
Python 3 look more like Python 2.
