This release contains dozen of fixes for various problems reported by
users, including ones related to DVD/VOB subtitles disappearing, mms://
streaming, and fullscreen switching under Metacity and KDE 3.1. libaf, the
new audio filter layer, has been introduced. It does automatic formating,
and samplerate and channel number conversion for less featureful
soundcards. The new option -autosync should help with buggy soundcard
drivers. Audio/video codec and output driver selection has been reworked.
The code cleanup has continued, and memleaks are starting to be
eliminated.
Local changes:
- Restore the dependency to win32codecs which was lost 4 month ago (Hi Rene)
- Depends on audio/realplayer if MPLAYER_USE_REALMEDIA is set to YES
- Add a patch which was commited after the release to fix crashes while
muting the sound.

layer that are evidently not available with the Sun audio interface
it resembles, to better sync audio with video. The native "sun"
driver (the current default) should now work at least as well as
the "oss" driver (once the default, but now disabled) used to.
NetBSD pkgsrc changes:
- Move the depencencies out of Makefile.common so that mplayer-share
doesn't depends on unnecessary packages
- Add nas support to mplayer and gmplayer (from Frederick Bruckman)
- Add mad support (from Frederick Bruckman)
- Add libungif support
- Use the x11 buildlink file
- Disable ossaudio support, because the sun audio support works better
- Don't use the Buildlink's ${CFLAGS}, which would turn off all the
processor-specific optimizations (from Frederick Bruckman)

NetBSD-1.5.*, so pull in the build-time dependency on binutils and gcc
conditionally on the version reported by ${AS}. For that case, set
${GCC_EXEC_PREFIX} in the build environment, and pass in an "--as="
argument to "configure", to make absolutely sure the new "gas" gets used.
available). Not tested with the recent gcc and binutils changes.
Only one local patchfile is now needed, which fix a -Wl,-R problem
and reenables the auto detect support for libmpdvdkit on NetBSD.
Where libmpdvdkit is now disabled, due to the css code in that source.
The MPlayer code use libdvdread so it still can read DVDs.
The css code is also the reason why we have to use NO_SRC_ON_FTP.
List of changes, without being complete.
Changes in 0.90pre2:
- hwac3 fixes (try AFMT_AC3 first), bigendian fixes for PCM audio
- 2-pass encoding with libavcodec (-lavcopts vpass=x), B frames support
- faster .ogg seeking (use -forceidx for slow but accurate one)
- audio-only with gui fixed
- -rootwin fixed for x11,xv,xmga,xvidix
- aspect ratio fix for ffmpeg12
- mpeg-es detection fixed
- runtime cpudetect disabled by default
- support for many new win32 codecs, including mss1, tm20, ucod, truespeech
- divx audio dll sig11 with glibc 2.1.(2|3) fixed
- includes libmpdvdkit - patched kit of dvd libraries (enabled for linux+freebsd)
- manpages updated
- 'f' (fullscreen switch) fixed for some WMs, still has problems
- various freebsd and openbsd portability patches
- options -xy,-zoom,-flip usable with mencoder too, -xy keeps aspect
- -vop lavc, using new fast best libavcodec for realtime mpeg1 transcoding
- fixed gtk gui crash with --disable-mencoder
- no more black vobsub subtitles :)
Changes in 0.90pre1:
- 100% GPL - yeah, so what?
- runtime CPU detection code - any x86 MPlayer binary can run on "any"
other x86 CPU
- video filter layer - with numerous plugins (crop, expand, etc, see
the documentation)
- ability to view or encode DVD/vobsub and/or text subtitles into the
output AVI
- prelimenary dvdnav support (experimental)
- Direct Rendering - can't be used with libavcodec yet, sorry
- ability to display subtitles under the image, on black bands
- FFmpeg (included) now supports decoding MPEG4v2 (MP42) and DivX 5.0
files too
- greatly enhanced MPEG4 encoder - in libavcodec. It's not always as good
as DivX4, but is twice as fast - so it's very useful on realtime encoding.
And generally also.
- audio-only (wav/mp3/wma/ogg) file playback (console only)
- playing/encoding audio from separate wav/mp3 file
- support for more fileformats, including the new and very popular .ogg
- multiple files playback from console, including various playlist formats
