2010-06-22 05:31:15 Gianfranco Costamagna description Binary package hint: vlc According to videolan.org a new vlc version is available. please update it as soon as possible 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 * Improvements on the FLAC format (7.1 channels and 88.2/176.4/192 kHz support) * 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 .aob files from DVD-Audio (MLP and LPCM) (Full disc support is NOT present yet) * Support for ADPCM in .flv streams * Support for TwinVQ (.vqf) and AMV (.amv) files * Various EGP improvements * Support for embedded subtitles in OpenDML and legacy .avi files * Metadata and cover art improvements Video Output: * Rewrite of the video output core and most video outputs * Added desktop mode to the Direct3D output module.
