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.

override. (Presently only affects video smoothing in the default
renderer).
* Made NPAPI plugin quiet, except on plugin-specific errors (to
reduce .xsession-errors pollution).

getNamespaceForPrefix(), namespaceURI, localName, prefix. Handling
of attributes corrected.
* New GUI for KDE4 / Qt4 with SWF properties and Gnash preferences
dialog boxes.

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.

o toString() method of objects called correctly, String.split
implementation fixed.
o XMLSocket onData method implemented properly, other methods fixed.

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

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.
4.5.2
translation updates, performance and stability improvements and other
bugfixes.
4.5.0
new versions of the Plasma Workspaces, the KDE Applications and the KDE
Development Platform in version 4.5.0. While focus within this release
cycle lay on stability, the overall polish and performance gain is well
noticable. Features such as the reworked notification area, Marble's map
routing and support for WebKit in Konqueror round up this release.
Kdenlive is a free open-source video editor which supports DV,
AVCHD and HDV editing. Kdenlive relies on several other open source
projects, such as FFmpeg, the MLT video framework and Frei0r effects.

The Video Decode and Presentation API for Unix (VDPAU) provides a complete
solution for decoding, post-processing, compositing, and displaying
compressed or uncompressed video streams. These video streams may be
combined (composited) with bitmap content, to implement OSDs and other
application user interfaces.
This VDPAU API allows video programs to offload portions of the video
decoding process and video post-processing to the GPU video-hardware.
to trigger/signal a rebuild for the transition 5.10.1 -> 5.12.1.
The list of packages is computed by finding all packages which end
up having either of PERL5_USE_PACKLIST, BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.perl,
or PERL5_PACKLIST defined in their make setup (tested via
"make show-vars VARNAMES=..."), minus the packages updated after
the perl package update.
sno@ was right after all, obache@ kindly asked and he@ led the
way. Thanks!
- workaround name conflict with system header <arm/bswap.h> in libavutils
by subst.mk replacement
- explicitly disable armv5te, armv6, and armv6t2 options that are enabled
by autodetect code in configure but cause illegal instruction errors
on StrongARM and XScale machines
Tested on NetBSD/hpcarm (WS011SH) and NetBSD/shark (Funai's DNARD) 5.99.38.
changes:
-bugfixes
-support WebM container format
-support Xv gamma adjustment
-handle some more formats and Ogg tags
many pkgsrc patches were integrated upstream
changes:
-amrnbenc: give element a rank (SECONDARY) so it's autoplugged

-x264enc: fix up codec_data / avcC header construction some more
-x264enc: Put pixel-aspect-ratio from input into the src pad caps
pkgsrc note: patch-ab was added to work around an API incompatibility
to pkgsrc's old libx264, can be removed if libx264 gets updated (which
is currently not possible due to pkgsrc's even older ffmpeg)
I've tested gst-x264enc only with a simple testcase (videotestsrc!x264enc)
and it seems to work so far.
