+ 2004.04.28, Wednesday :: MPlayer 1.0pre4 released
+ </a>
+ <br>
+</font>
+<font class="header">
+ posted by the release team<br>
+</font>
+<font class="text">
+ <br>
+ A long time has passed without a release and really a lot has
+ happened. Between the KiSS affair and the farewell of some developers
+ one might almost get the impression that not much development has been
+ taking place. Indeed there have been many internal changes. Alex
+ Beregszaszi (who has been the maintainer since 0.90rc3) is now
+ supported by a team of maintainers, making this the first real team
+ release of MPlayer. To reflect that we are also presenting the site in
+ a new design. If you thought about helping us out in building the
+ fastest and most flexible video player, now would be the perfect moment
+ to join our team, just come and join us on our
+ <a href="info.html#mailing_lists">mailing lists</a> and
+ <a href="info.html#irc">IRC</a> channels. We can use not only coders but
+ also documenters and people that want to help us out with the many details
+ that have to be taken care of to make such a big project a success. But if
+ you thought MPlayer development was stalled, just have a look at the huge
+ changelog.
+ <br>
+ <br>
+ We fixed a remotely exploitable security vulnerability in the Real
+ RTSP code.
+ <!-- , please read our advisory for details. Many thanks go to the
+ xine team for cooperating so well with us in the audit of this shared
+ code. -->
+ We also found a buffer overflow in the Matroska demuxer and in
+ the CDDB code, so we strongly urge you to upgrade.
+ <br>
+ <br>
+ Apart from that there are so many changes it gets hard to pick out the
+ highlights.
+ <br>
+ <br>
+ As usual the documentation has been improved and extended and our many
+ ports have been improved. The BSDs are getting closer and closer to
+ the Linux version, Mac OS X and PowerPC users will enjoy as
+ much as a 100% speed improvement through many AltiVec optimizations
+ and a native Quartz (Mac OS X) output driver. The Windows version of
+ MPlayer is shaping up to be an equal contender to the Unix versions,
+ grab and spread it.
+ <br>
+ <br>
+ If you had problems with streaming in the past this may be the release
+ for you. We fixed tons of bugs and added support for SMIL playlist to
+ Real streaming and now support Nullsoft Streaming Video (NSV)
+ <br>
+ <br>
+ With (experimental) AVI OpenDML read and write support we have knocked
+ a longstanding item from the wishlist. Now is the time to play and
+ create huge AVI files.
+ <br>
+ <br>
+ Our video filter system has been extended by no less than seven
+ filters and is thus more flexible than ever.
+ <br>
+ <br>
+ If you are an oldschool text mode addict and like ASCII art output you
+ can now enjoy it in full color with the caca output driver.
+ <br>
+ <br>
+ On the codec front we now support XviD 1.0, VP5 and VP6 and the
+ existing codecs have been improved and optimized. Accordingly the
+ codec package has been extended by a few DLLs, don't forget to grab a
+ new one.
+ <br>
+ <br>
+ As usual we would be nothing without FFmpeg and the many native codecs
+ they provide. FLAC among others has joined their long list of
+ supported codecs and the rest has seen notable speed and quality
+ improvements.
+ <br>
+ <br>
+ Enjoy...
