xine-lib (1.1.14) 2008-06-29
  * DVB changes:
    - Reacquire PIDs whenever a PMT is parsed. (Some channels' PIDs are
      changed on a regular basis.)
    - Recognise more stream formats (as defined in the broadcast PMT).
    - Allow automatic detection of more DVB tuning parameters.
    - Allow the GUI to be disabled.
    - Allow configuration of the location of channels.conf.
  * V4L: allow TV standard selection.
  * Allow input plugins to report MIME type information.
    This is used for demuxer plugin selection immediately before testing the
    filename extension (so it won't work when demuxer selection is done by
    stream content only). [Bug #120]
  * Allow input plugins to ask for a specific demuxer, overriding the normal
    demuxer selection methods. (Most won't need this.)
  * 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.
    (Backported from the 1.2 branch.)
  * Fix MPEG TS audio stream problems introduced in 1.1.13.
  * Add basic aspect ratio detection for Windows Media Video streams.

xine-lib (1.1.13) 2008-06-15
  * Security fixes:
    - Buffer overflow in the NSF demuxer which may allow remote attackers to
      cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code
      via an NSF file with a long title or copyright message. (CVE-2008-1878)
    - For extra safety against possible Integer overflows like the ones found
      in CVE-2008-1482, backport more calloc usage from 1.2 branch.
  * Improved JACK output plugin.
  * Added MIME types and .mpp for musepack.
  * Fixed display of some MJPEG streams (YUVJ420P).
  * Deprecate xine_xmalloc() function, see src/xine-utils/utils.c for more
    information about the reason.
  * Provide a useful implementation of xine_register_log_cb().

xine-lib (1.1.12) 2008-04-14
  * Security fixes:
    - Insufficient boundary check in speex audio decoder. (CVE-2008-1686)
  * Fixed and improved the PulseAudio driver.
  * Fixed a regression in 1.1.11.1 which broke Quicktime container handling.
  * And another, this time in the Matroska demuxer.
  * Added a tool to assist with generating front ends' desktop files. It
    lists MIME types & filename extensions known to the installed xine-lib.
  * Various Real codec improvements, including:
    - RV20 no longer causes segfaults (observed on amd64);
    - Cook is now handled by ffmpeg.
  * Added a video output plugin intended for passing raw data to the front end.

xine-lib (1.1.11.1) 2008-03-30
  * Security fixes:
    - Integer overflows in FLV, Qt, Real, WC3Movie, Matroska and FILM
      demuxers, allowing remote attackers to trigger heap overflows and
      possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2008-1482)
  * Added a few more memory allocation checks to the above demuxers.
  * WAV file playback fix: don't assume that the first chunk is "fmt ".
  * Don't try to play partial 24-bit AIFF frames (decoder would lose data).
  * Fixed AIFF comment chunk handling and sample rate reading.
  * LPCM fixes: input over-reading, conversion of 24-bit samples.

xine-lib (1.1.11) 2008-03-19
  * Security fixes:
    - Array Indexing Vulnerability in sdpplin_parse(). (CVE-2008-0073)
  * Reworked the plugin directory naming so that external plugins don't have
    to be rebuilt for every release. We now use a naming scheme based on the
    API/ABI versioning, checking older directories - with this release, the
    plugin directory name is 1.20, and if this gets bumped to 1.21 in a
    future release, 1.20 will still be available for external plugins.
    (Any directories not 1.* won't be looked in.)
  * Made the version parsing much more reliable; it wasn't properly coping
    with four-part version numbers. This affects any program whose build
    scripts use xine-lib's automake macros.
  * Fixed an off-by-one in the FLAC security fix patch. This breakage was
    causing failure to play some files.
  * Support 16-bit big-endian DTS audio.
  * Improved frame snapshot API. (ABI extension.)
  * Re-add support for # (stream parameter separator) in raw filenames,
    without the bugs found in the original implementation.
    (This is a convenience feature for users only. Front ends which rely on
    it for functions like subtitle file detection must instead use file://
    MRLs; if they don't, we consider them to be buggy.)
  * Fixed long delay when closing stream on dual core systems [Bug #33]
  * DVD playback improvement: don't trust the file sizes.
  * Build fixes for use with recent ffmpeg.

xine-lib (1.1.10.1) 2008-02-07
  * Security fixes:
    - Array index vulnerability which may allow remote attackers to execute
      arbitrary code via a crafted FLAC tag, causing a stack buffer overflow.
      (CVE-2008-0486)
    - Buffer overflow in the Matroska demuxer (demuxers/demux_matroska.c)
      which may allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash)
      or possibly execute arbitrary code via a Matroska file with invalid
      frame sizes. (CVE-2008-1161)
  * Fix a RealPlayer codec detection bug.
  * Improve detection of MP3 streams with ID3v2 tags. Don't trust the tag
    size.

xine-lib (1.1.10) 2008-01-26
  * Security fixes:
    - Buffer overflow which allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary
      code or crash the client program via a crafted ASF header. 
      (CVE-2008-1110, related to CVE-2006-1664)
  * Update Ogg and Annodex mimetypes and extensions.
  * Change the default v4l device paths to /dev/video0 and /dev/radio0.
  * Fix support for subtitles with schemes (e.g. http://), partly broken
    since 1.1.8.
  * Unescape the filename in "#save:". This allows filenames to contain ';'
    etc. without ambiguity, e.g. "#save:foo%3B1.ts" -> "foo;1.ts", but front
    end authors should be careful with xine-lib older than 1.1.10.
  * Backported xine-config & libxine.pc from 1.2.
    Consequently, xine-config now requires pkg-config.
  * Don't discard audio samples forever. Fixed streaming playback.
  * Fix a possible crash on channel change in the DVB plugin.
  * Flash video demuxer improvements and bug fixes.
  * Make the V4L ALSA audio input device configurable. (This needs more work.)

xine-lib (1.1.9.1) 2008-01-11
  * Security fixes:
    - Buffer overflow which allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary
      code via a crafted SDP Abstract attribute.
      (CVE-2008-0225, a.k.a. CVE-2008-0238)
      (Fix ported from mplayer changeset 22821)
  * Fix a read-past-end bug in xine-lib's internal strtok_r replacement.
    (Only affects systems without strtok_r.) [Bug #19]
  * Fix a bug which causes video playback display errors on PPC/Darwin.

xine-lib (1.1.9) 2008-01-06
  * Fix dvd://.../title[.chapter] handling (somewhat broken in 1.1.8).
  * Fix switching DVB subtitles channels.
  * DVB sub: switch to dyn mem alloc and allow multiple CLUTs per page.
  * Check if DVB sub PTS is reliable and show sub immediately if it's not.
  * Fix incorrect H.264 detection on successive MPEG1/2 B frames.
  * Add UI option to configure FFmpeg's video decoder thread count.
  * Improve syncing of audio and video in the presence of bad frames.
  * Improve handling of invalid or unknown frame sizes.
  * Fixed handling of streamed Flash videos (broken in 1.1.5).
  * Fixed division by zero in sputext decoder
  * Build fix for when using Linux 2.6.23 headers. [Bug SF 1820958]
  * Implemented decoding of XML character entities with codes >= 256.
    This requires conversion to UTF-8 of entities with codes >= 128.
  * Handle initial Unicde BOMs in XML; convert other UTF encodings to UTF-8.
  * Fixed ATSC support. [Bug SF 1749508]
  * Fixed a possible DVB plugin crash when switching channels.
  * Fixed a crash closing the frontend. [Bug #7]
  * Fixed deadlock on ao_close while paused.
  * Nicer wakeup behaviour, using select instead of nanosleep (800 -> 100
    wakeups/s).
  * Fixed ALSA close function to not discard all data that had been written
    but not played yet.
  * Fixed a race condition between ao_loop and ao_close to not lose the last
    buffer.
  * DXR3 encoding with external ffmpeg should be fixed now.
    (This was broken by ffmpeg revision 9283).
  * Enabled the WMV VC1 & VMware Screen (ffmpeg) codecs.
  * Fixed a crash that happened when a video output was closed
  * Made the Real demuxer recognise simple lists of http references.
  * Require correct URL encoding of '#'s which aren't separators.
  * Don't decode %nn in raw filenames. [Bug SF 1784272]
  * Always enable a52dec capabilities for external a52dec, this makes it
    possible to use the DJB accelerated FFT when using the external a52dec
    liba52 library. [Bug #9]
  * Fixed an input_pvr issue with 'set input' for ivtv versions 0.10.6+
  * demux_aiff: only check for chunk's size being lesser than 100 when
    reading the COMM_TAG. [Bug #6]
  * Avoid potential mislinkage at install time if a system-wide libxine.so
    is present but is *not* pointing at libxine.so.1.
  * Update French translation, thanks to Christophe Giraud. [Bug #15]
  * Detect corrupted or broken seek tables in CBR MP3 files. [Bug #3]
  * Fixed an issue in input_pvr with setting the frequency of the tuner for
    ivtv versions 0.10.6+
  * Add Turkish translation by Serdar Soytetir and Server Acim.
  * Workaround for subtitle rendering when using variable-length character
    encodings other than UTF-8. (There is probably still some breakage here.)

xine-lib (1.1.8) 2007-08-27
  * Send a channel-changed event to the frontend when receiving the SYNC
    string from last.fm streaming server.
  * Disable mediaLib support by default (the licenses probably disallow the
    distribution of xine binaries built against mediaLib, and on non-VIS
    capable boxes it's probably worse than our own code).
  * Rename endianness-reading macros so that they don't collide with Solaris
    system macros. BE_/LE_ are now _X_BE_ and _X_LE_.
  * Add an extra function to allow front ends to rename their old,
    badly-named configuration items.
  * Various build fixes and cleanups for Solaris, plugin dependencies etc.
  * Fix some memory leaks in the Vorbis decoder and video overlays.
  * Fix a problem with the goom plugin which could cause it to stop working.
  * Clean up "%" unescaping in MRLs; correctly handle "%" in DVD and VCD MRLs.
  * Fix a crash with "dvb:/".
  * DVB subtitle fixes: deadlock prevention, thread leakage, spec compliance.
  * Allow the DVB input plugin to timeout if it is receiving no signal.
  * Fix an audio resampling problem which was causing regular clicking.
  * Fix build with recent glibc and a debugging #define. [Bug SF 1773769]
  * Fix handling of multiple MPEG TS audio streams & subtitle languages.
  * Add colouring for bold & italic in text subtitles.
  * Simple scaling of subtitles to fit the frame width (intended to cope
    with common DVB resolutions such as 544x576).
  * Various small video frame-handling bug fixes.
  * Add options to control bob deinterlacing in the XxMC video output plugin.

xine-lib (1.1.7) 2007-06-07
  * Support libdca (new name for libdts) by shuffling around the dts.h file.
  * Add support for MDHD version 1 atom in demux_qt. [Bug SF 1679398]
  * Handle single-quoted attribute values in XML.
  * Fix default paths for RealPlayer libraries (broken in 1.1.5).
    [Bug SF 1707526]
  * Fix proxy usage when the hostnames cannot be resolved. Thanks to Jeff
    Mitchell for reporting and testing the fix.
  * Avoid zero-sized frames when demuxing MPEG PES.
  * Improved MPEG2 detection and optimised processing.
  * Extract AFD information (commonly used in UK DVB-T) from the MPEG stream.
  * Ensure that the ffmpeg video image size is properly initialised.
  * Allow XxMC to switch back to software decoding; don't deinterlace if it's
    not needed for any given frame.
  * Document "dvba:" MRLs (ATSC with full tuning info).
  * Fix VCD playback (broken since 1.1.4).
  * Fix demuxing of FLAC files with ID3v2 tags.
  * Use the integer versions of Speex decoding functions, this avoids an
    iteration over the decoded frames to transform them to integers, and
    also avoids an improper saturation.
  * Prioritize the musepack demuxer over mpgaudio, as sometimes the latter can
    misfire and report a good file as unplayable.
  * Fix an mmap problem with huge files on 32-bit systems.
  * Improved MPEG PES stream handling: specifically, misdetection of data
    streams as PES streams.
  * Handle unplugged ALSA device (fixes crashes) and if the frontend does not
    handle the event continue playback to the none output.
  * Disable aRTs output plugin by default, it's deprecated and will be removed
    in 1.2 series.
  * Fix a colour format conversion crash in the fb video output driver.

xine-lib (1.1.6) 2007-04-17
  * Split the DirectFB plugin into X11 and non-X versions.
  * Improve the Mac OS X video output plugin. Thanks to Matt Messier.
  * Fixed the XcbXv plugin - an empty plugin would be built if "old" Xv
    isn't detected.
  * Reworked the channels.conf file handling in the DVB plugin. Previously,
    with junk content, the plugin could potentially consume lots of memory
    (possibly causing a local DoS). Also, a few small memory leaks have been
    eliminated.
  * Fixed a CDDA-related crash and a DVD-related hang, both caused by the
    same change in 1.1.5.

xine-lib (1.1.5) 2007-04-10
  * Security fixes:
    - Fix heap overflow in DMO and DirectShow loaders.
      Thanks to Kees Cook for reporting.
      (CVE-2007-1246 & CVE-2007-1387) [Bug SF 1676925]
  * Improved PulseAudio plugin, now only one connection per instance is opened
    and the mainloop is threaded to reduce latency during playback.
  * Added XCB-based output plugins (Xv and XShm), to use in software using
    XCB to talk with the server rather than libX11 (like new Kaffeine).
    The plugins are contributed by Christoph Pfister with the help of
    Vincent Torri, Jamey Sharp and Christophe Thommeret.
  * Fix race condition in alsa audio out driver.
  * Fixed a crash in the eq2 plugin. [Bug SF 1644312]
  * Fixed content type detection for AAC (seekable) streams with ID3v2
    tags prefixed clobbering the preview buffer, by skipping over the tag.
  * Parse ID3v2 tags on AAC and FLAC files, as well as mp3 files.
  * Priority of the AAC encoder is now lower than anything else, so
    it's not going to crash xine down if you try to run an mp3 stream
    on FAAD2.
  * Relicense the xine-lib XML parser under the GNU LGPL, for use in other
    projects.
  * Improvement in portability to Solaris and NetBSD, thanks to Albert Lee and
    Sergey Svishchev respectively.
  * Spanish translation updated by Carlos E. Robinson M.
  * Don't leave libstk support to be detected automagically; also made it
    disabled by default as upstream is dead and a different libstk is found
    on Debian.
  * Improvement in portability to FreeBSD, merged some patches (with changes)
    from the ports.
  * Cleaned up Real binary codecs support, adding support for FreeBSD (still
    to be completely cleaned up though), and to 64-bit platforms. Also add
    two new configure option, one to enable or disable building of Real binary
    support altogether and one to choose the path where to look for the codecs
    by default (it can, and probably should) be different from the Win32
    codecs path.
  * Avoid a possible floating-point exception when starting stream playback.
  * Now xine can play correctly media on HTTP servers reporting status codes
    but no status message.
  * Wave files with 24-bit integer PCM streams now should play correctly
    (downplayed to 16-bit).
  * Added centre-cutout (4:3 in 16:9) to the expand plugin.
    Patch by Reinhard Nissl.
  * Fix support of block devices for AC3 and DTS demuxers. Thanks to Matthias
    Kretz for the original patch.
  * Portability fixes for Mac OS X, in particular Mac OS X on the new Intel
    Macs. Thanks to Martin Aumueller, Emanuele Giaquinta and Matt Messier.
  * Fix amp muting when level is still at 100. Patch by Reinhard Nissl.
  * Create at least a 1×1 shared image when the first frame is skipped (and
    thus reported as 0×0), to avoid disabling shared memory for all others.
    Patch by Reinhard Nissl.
  * Send an event when the amp level is modified. Patch by Reinhard Nissl.
  * Add support for H.264 video stream in PES packets. Patch by Reinhard Nissl.
  * Support multiple audio PID in MPEG TS. Patch by Julian Scheel.
  * Improvement in portability to OpenBSD, thanks to Pascal S. de Kloe.

xine-lib (1.1.4) 2007-01-28
  * Mark string-type configuration items according to whether they're plain
    strings or names of files, device nodes or directories. This information
    is available to front ends (via .num_value) so that they can present
    file/dir-open dialogue boxes if they so choose.
    Subtitle font selection is split up due to this.
  * Applied the patch to fix text relocation, provided by PaX Team for Gentoo
    and previously applied by other distributions as well. Fixes the non-PIC
    code being generated. Note: patch reverted for tomsmocomp (segfault).
  * Fix race condition in audio_out by using a recursive mutex; patch by
    Reinhard Nissl. [Bug SF 1551911]
  * Allow building with Sun CC by fixing the lprintf variadic macro; patch by
    Taso N. Devetzis. [Bug SF 1614406]
  * Fix disposing of image buffers in video_out_xv when SHM get disabled by
    exhaustion of memory; patch by Matthias Drochner. [Bug SF 1620339]
  * Fix invalid memory access in Real Media ASM parser; reported by Roland
    Kay. [Bug SF 1603503]
  * Fix program termination due to invalid Real Media SDP; reported by Roland
    Kay. [Bug SF 1602663]
  * Fix invalid memory access in Real Media SDP with tailored stream; reported
    by Roland Kay. [Bug SF 1602631]
  * Don't check for libpostproc version and assume that if libavcodec is found
    correctly, libpostproc is of the same version, too. Reported by Ville
    Skyttä. [Bug SF 1617344]
  * Fix Shorten demuxer: the whole "ajkg" signature has to be found, not only
    one character of it. [Bug SF 1601134]
  * Implement at least a partial content-based detection of ModPlug-decoded
    module files, using the magic numbers from GNU file. This allows to open
    module files based on content rather than on their extension only.
    [Bug SF 1445746]
  * Make the libFLAC-based decoder and demuxer for FLAC files work with recent
    FLAC release 1.1.3.
  * Replace --enable-flac configure option with --with-libflac, as the FLAC
    support is always built-in through the audio demuxer plugin and the FFmpeg
    decoder plugin, the option only controls the extra FLAC plugin that uses
    libFLAC both for demuxing and decoding.
  * Implement a True Audio files demuxer. [Bug SF 1586381]
  * Allow decoding of MusePack SV 7.x files (7.1 files at least play fine).
  * Fix demuxing of uncompressed VobSub subtitles in Matroska files
  * ffmpeg update to 51.29.0
  * Workaround ffmpeg buggy codecs that don't release their DR1 frames.
    [Bugs SF 1599975, SF 1601299, SF 1319154]
  * Fix several segfaults and freezing problem with H264 streams that use a lot
    of reference frames (eg. 15) [Bugs SF 1603305, SF 1576588, SF 1267713]
  * Fix mpeg4 artifacts introduced in cvs (not present in 1.1.3)
    [Bug SF 1625911]
  * Initial support to enable/disable ffmpeg codecs. Codecs may be disabled in
    groups by --disable-ffmpeg-uncommon-codecs/--disable-ffmpeg-popular-codecs
    Think of "uncommon" codecs what people would never want to play with their
    PDAs (they will save memory by removing them).
    Note: currently both uncommon/popular codecs are _build_ but disabled.
    that is, build system still need some improvements to really save memory.
  * Fix possible division by zero when pausing (video_out.c).
  * Allow disabling build of musepack decoder through a ./configure parameter
    (--disable-musepack).
  * Allow using external libmpcdec for MusePack decoding rather than the
    internal copy of an old libmusepack, through a ./configure parameter
    (--with-external-libmpcdec).
  * Add support for WavPack files, with both a demuxer and a decoder using
    WavPack library. As an alternative, FFmpeg's audio decoder can be used
    to decode WavPack files.
  * Don't crash when caching a file opened through Samba plugin, thanks to
    Timothy Redaelli from Gentoo.
  * Fix audio/video sync problem with NTSC DVDs (introduced in 1.1.2).
    [Bugs SF 1544349, SF 1589644]

    support Darwin OS better.
  * Replace custom ALSA check with pkg-config check, and make sure 0.9.0 is
    the requried version.
  * When the compiler supports it, enable hidden visibility for all the
    plugins to export only the plugin info entry (and eventual needed
    special functions), to replace the min-symtab option that wasn't working.
  * Add "m4b" to the list of supported file extensions for the Qt demuxer, to
    allow playing (unprotected) audiobooks in AAC format.
  * Remove --disable-fpic hack, prefer using --without-pic instead.
  * Add new output plugin: PulseAudio (based on PolypAudio plugin), that uses
    0.9 API (PulseAudio is PolypAudio renamed).
  * Remove PolypAudio plugin, latest version supported 0.7 API that is no more
    supported by upstream, and it's replaced by PulseAudio.

    to non-blocking sockets on the last address found for an host, and allowing
    users to provide a connection timeout. [Bug SF 1550844]
  * Return the correct error message to frontends when a file is inaccessible or
    the network connection is broken. [Bug SF 1550763]
  * Support libcaca 0.99, thanks to cjacker huang.
  * Fix crash on video-only WMV streams. [Bug SF 1564598]
  * Report audio stream on Shorten files (required for Amarok to play them).
  * Optionally use fontconfig to look up fonts to use for OSD. [Bug SF 1551042]
  * Prefer FreeType2 rendered fonts to bitmap fonts.
  * Stone age platforms update
  * Enabled TrueSpeech codec
  * New X11 visual type: xine-lib may now use frontend's mutex/lock mechanism
    instead of XLockDisplay/XUnlockDisplay.
  * Allow playing of OggFlac files. [Bug SF 1590690]
  * Allow playing FLAC files with an ID3 tag at the start.
  * Fix some crashes caused by MP3 files (and possibly others) being
    misdetected as AAC.
