[MPlayer-dev-eng] Last call for pre8

[Roberto Togni]

Hi all

This is my last attempt at releasing pre8 before Linuxtag.


Changes from previous report:

* old release critical bugs:
- 3gp with amr audio broken: fixed


* new release critical bugs:
- b-frames + lavc in mencoder are reported to be broken


* other stuff (from the old pre8 thread):
- the utf8 stuff: solved, delayed or critical?
- vf_ass: commit or wait?
- the win32 gui? solved or delayed? iirc the author said to wait for
pre9
- anything else?


* Target: weekend


* Open tasks (help needed):
- check and complete changelog, including ffmpeg part (else release as
is), or tell me that it's up to date
- write a nice news entry (else I'll happily provide a nasty one)
- security patch for pre7 (and maybe an advisor?) use the gentoo
patches? forget about it? what about cvs?


Commit safe pending patches now, don't break cvs, and come visiting us
at Linuxtag next wek.


Ciao,
 Roberto
