CHANGELOG

Changes between 1.0.5 and 1.1.0:
--------------------------------

Important changes for users:
 * On Linux, known bugs in the ALSA library might prevent audio output.
   Update to alsa-lib v1.0.23-2-g8d80d5f or later, or use the libpulse audio
   output plugin instead of the ALSA one (if you have PulseAudio).

Important changes for packagers:
 * The module cache has moved to ${libdir}/vlc/. The module cache can now be
   generated at install time except if you use staged installation. In the
   later case, you can generate the module cache in your post-inst script
   by invoking 'vlc-cache-gen'. If the module cache is not present and vlc
   can't write in ${libdir}/vlc/, it will result it vlc taking a long time to
   launch each time.
 * Most X11-related plugins now use XCB instead of Xlib. VLC now uses
   - xproto,
   - xcb, xcb-shm, xcb-xv, xcb-randr (from libxcb),
   - xcb-keysyms (from xcb-utils),
   - x11-xcb (from libx11) - only for GLX support.
 * On X11 platforms, a _working_ version of xdg-screensaver is typically
   required to inhibit the screensaver during video playback.

Access:
 * Support for the sftp protocol
 * Support for CDDB servers for Audio-CD on the Windows port
 * New memory input (imem) access and access_demux module to feed VLC from data in memory
 * New avio module to use libavformat capabilities for network streams, like rtmp://
 * Port of the screen module from Xlib to XCB
 * Port of the dc1394 module from libdc1394 to libdc1394 v2.0

Decoders:
 * Support for DxVA2 for H.264 decoding on GPU on Windows Vista and 7
 * Support for VAAPI for H.264 decoding on GPU on GNU/Linux
 * Support for Audio/Video decoders and encoders using OpenMAX IL components for DSP

 * Support PGS subtitles for Blu-Ray
 * Support for HD-DVB subtitles - Display Definition Segment
 * Invmem module improvements
 * Support for Atrac1 audio codec
 * Support for SSE3 and SSE4 capabilities in some codecs
 * Multiple improvements for subtitles styles in .SRT and .SSA
 * Support for native decoding of Windows Media Speech (Voice) audio codec
 * Support for AMR-NB audio codec on the Windows and Mac port
 * Support for Indeo5 video codec

 * Direct rendering is used more often with H.264 in avcodec module
 * Support for MPEG-4 ALS lossless audio codec
 * Support for VP8 codec
 * Support for 7.1 channels in vorbis audio

Demuxers:
 * Many fixes on Matroska support (notably seeking) and support for Webm format

 * Support for embedded subtitles in OpenDML and legacy .avi files

   desktop mode, because it hides the desktop icons, but reacts to mouse clicks.
 * New x11, glx and xv modules based on XCB
 * New deinterlacing modes based on yadif and yadif(x2)
 * New audio/video filter to show audio level on the video output
 * Enhanced AtmoLight filter with hardware support for
     Classic AtmoLight (http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Atmo-plugin)
     Quattro AtmoLight (use just 4 Classic AtmoLights as one)
     MoMoLight (http://www.ambilight4pc.com/momolight/momolight.html)
     Simple serial DMX controller (http://www.ulrichradig.de/ search for DMX)

Extensions:
 * New content extensions framework for lua

Audio filters:
 * Chorus/Flanger audio filter
 * 3F1R to stereo down-mix filter
 * Dolby mixer, parameterized equalizer, trivial mixer, scaletempo, bandlimited

    #transcode{vcodec=h264,venc=x264{profile=baseline,level=1.2},vb=384,width=320,height=176}
 * x264, defaults to crf=23 as x264.exe-does, if bitrate is given,
   uses ABR and if qp-value is set uses CQP
 * libx264-version 0.76 or higher is required
 * x264 has tune/preset parameters supported

Stream output:
 * New smem module, streaming to memory
 * Allow duplicate outputs to be merged, like:
   --sout "#duplicate{dst=transcode{vcodec=mp2v},select=es=0,dst=transcode,select=es=1}:std{...}"

Interfaces:
 * Renamed the legacy rc, telnet and http interfaces to oldrc, oldtelnet
