+ Well it's been a while, and we're back in business with a (guess
+ what) new prerelease. Now with Windows Media Player skin support.
+ Ok just joking. But the ChangeLog is still fucking long, actually
+ just thinking about inserting it and writing all those HTML
+ tags feels tiresome.<br>
+ <br>
+ I'd like to emphasize our newest reverse engineered codec: RealVideo
+ 2.0 (RV20), with B frames support! Time to move on to RV30.. ;)<br>
+ <br>
+ SiS video card users are going to be very pleased with the new
+ <i>sis_vid</i> Vidix driver! Check out the documentation! Oh, and
+ by the way: the <i>nvidia_vid</i> driver also got hell a lot of
+ bugfixing, doublebuffer support for Geforce2, etc etc...<br>
+ <br>
+ No doubt many ppl will celebrate one of the new MEncoder features:
+ the ability to encode the output audio stream with <b>libavcodec</b>!<br>
+ <br>
+ Don't hold your breath for even another moment, ChangeLog falls upon
+ thee from the heavens:<br>
