This change reduces by 10MB the memory usage of + xine-lib during playback (1/3 of the memory used while playing an mp3). + * Update libmpcdec (formerly libmusepack) to version 1.2.6 (newer than the + previous Subversion snapshot) and contextually move it to + contrib/libmpcdec to separate from xine's own code. + * Save plugins' cache in the defined cache home directory as per XDG Base + Directory Specification. + * Use XDG-defined cache home directory for cddb cache. + * Use XDG-defined cache home directory for win32codecs fake registry. + * Use XDG-defined data directories to look up fonts files both while using + FreeType2 and the standard bitmap fonts for OSD. + * Replace internal libdts 0.0.2 with libdca 0.0.5, and contextually move it + to contrib/libdca to separate from xine's own code. + * Add another message code to allow for auth prompts. Previously, it was + not possible to distinguish between '401 Authentication Required' and + '403 Forbidden'. + * Merge the demuxer and the decoder for NSF files in a combined plugin. + * Move modplug demuxing to its own plugin. This way, binary distributions + can make it optional as it requires quite a bit of CPU time during + initialisation, even for audio files that nothing have to do with modplug. + * Collapse the Ogg demuxer, and the Theora, Vorbis and Speex decoders in the + same 'xiph' plugin. + * Remove aRTs output plugin; ALSA's DMix can allow both xine and aRTs to + access the audio device at the same time for Linux, and if other + operating systems lack a proper software mixing facility you can + consider alternative daemons. Note: aRTs will not be present in KDE 4. + * Convert the FAQ and the Hacker's Guide from DocBook SGML to DocBook 4.4 + XML, and the figures from fig files to SVG files. + * The XML parser no longer ignores <?...?> elements. + Such elements are handled as if they were after the XML content for + compatibility reasons, though they must appear before it. + * The XML parser handles CDATA elements. + * Text handling within XML is improved. + * DVB subtitles' opacity is now controllable. + * The internal copies of libcdio and libvcd are no longer present, + you need to use an installed copy of them if you want VCD support. + * Replace get_* functions for literals with direct string access. + * Use default dispose() functions when they just need to call free() in + various plugins. + * Rename METHOD_BY_EXTENSION to METHOD_BY_MRL as it also checks prefixes + for specific input protocols. + * Check for supported extensions before opening the plugin and remove + redundant core from plugins. + * Use libavutil-provided implementations for CRC, SHA1 and BASE64 algorithms, + this makes use of libavutil even outside the FFmpeg decoding plugin, + but avoid duplication of algorithms between different plugins. + * Use av_mallocz() when xine_xmalloc_aligned() wouldn't be needed. + * FFmpeg is now required as an external dependency; if you want to build + xine-lib from source, please download a copy of FFmpeg from their SVN + server. + * Remove SyncFB video output plugin, the kernel module needed is no more + active and thus it's no more usable. If you were using SyncFB somehow, + please use DirectFB or VIDIX instead. + * The Xv and XxMC video output plugins now support Xv port selection via + two methods: port number and port type (currently "any", "overlay" and + "textured video"). Port number takes precedence; the plugins will fall + back on another port of the same type (if a type was specified) then on + whatever they can find. + XvMC does not support port selection at present. + * Report more video output capabilities via (port)->get_capabilities(): + colour controls, zooming, colour keying. + xine-lib (1.1.17) 2009-??-?? * Build fixes related to ImageMagick 6.4 & later. * Fix an error in Matroska PTS calculation. |
