Hi,

upgrading is mandatory! (too much major bugfixes)
we don't accept pre8 or earlier bugreports any more (did we ever accepted
them? :))

mplayer (0.90)

  pre9:
    Docs:
    * man page rewritten again :)))
    * man page updated to latest options, including lavc options
    * Chinese docs translation added
    * Hungarian translation is (was? :)) up-to-date again
    
    Cleanup:
    * divx4_vbr.c is now really GPL - with the permission of the DivX.com
guys!
    * cyuv decoder restructuring, now supports planar YUV formats, too
    * removed obsolete variables, like has_audio, has_video, allow_dshow,
fifo
    * help_mp-XX.h files moved to help/ subdirectory, removed obsolete
entries
    * the obsolete 0x1ff eof hack removed from mpeg-es demuxer and decoders
    * stheaders.h cleanup, removed unneeded wine includes from mplayer core
    * tons of compiler warning fixes, including some 10l ones
    * mga/xmga vo shared code, vesa and svga drivers cleanup
    * major vo drivers are now -fixed-vo compliant: x11, xv, xvidix, xmga,
gl2
    * cleanup of libmpdemux option handling - now it's mplayer-independent
again
    * removed fork() from LIRC input module
    * libfame removed from main tree/release - libavcodec is faster, better
etc.

    * various NAS ao fixes
    * libvo: optional stride support for packed YUV / RGB formats
    * mencoder: set keyframe flag on audio packets, fixes Windows seeking
problems
    * loader: fixed 2 10l bugs, ATI VCR2 DLL now working. using new style CS
code.
    * demux_avi: always use block counter, even if dwSampleSize!=0, fixes
some files
    * SPU decoder (DVD/VOB subs): fixed 2 major bugs causing lost subtitles
    * various memory leak fixes (valgrind rulez :)
    * fixed RealAudio SIPR(O) codec (the wrapper didn't find the dspr.so.6)
    * mms:// audio (radio) streaming fixed
    * DVB: -vop lavc=bitrate is working again

    * audio/video codec selection (-ac/-afm) rewritten, now uses codec/fm
list
    * get_delay() smoothing (-autosync) - should help buggy sound drivers
    * smb:// URL support (disabled by default, ./configure part not yet
done!)
