We have some more tricks for you up our sleeves +for upcoming versions of MPlayer: experimental +<a href="http://dcxx.fw.hu/">DVDnav</a> (DVD menus) support +and an experimental graphical user interface for our Windows port. +Please join in the testing effort so that these features don't remain +experimental ;-). +</p> + +<h3>MPlayer 1.0pre8: <i>"NeuTeam strikes back"</i></h3> + + +<h4>Security:</h4> + +<ul> + <li>support for compilation with non-executable stack</li> + <li>fix the major issues caught by Coverity's static analysis runs</li> +</ul> + +<h4>Documentation:</h4> + +<ul> + <li>environment variables documentation started</li> + <li>interactive control fully documented</li> + <li>improved encoding guide</li> + <li>new technical encoding guide in DOCS/tech/encoding-guide.txt which is to be merged into the existing guide</li> + <li>encoding tips for x264 and XviD</li> + <li>how to set up MEncoder for x264 support</li> + <li>new advanced audio usage guide with surround sound instructions</li> + <li>Hungarian XML documentation translation finished</li> + <li>Czech documentation translation finished</li> + <li>French MPlayer documentation synced</li> + <li>German man page synced</li> + <li>Hungarian man page synced</li> + <li>Italian man page synced</li> + <li>Chinese console messages synced</li> + <li>misc improvements all over the place</li> + <li>AIX port documentation added</li> + <li>all XviD options documented</li> + <li>CONFIGURATION FILES section added to the man page</li> + <li>Doxygen comments added to configuration parser and OpenGL video out driver</li> +</ul> + +<h4> Drivers:</h4> + +<ul> + <li>JACK audio output rewritten without bio2jack</li> + <li>OpenAL audio output - unfinished, can only do mono output</li> + <li>OpenGL video output modules support -geometry and -wid options</li> + <li>for -vo gl manyfmts is now default (since it is a lot faster), use -vo gl:nomanyfmts if it does not work for you</li> + <li>streaming textures for -vo gl, much faster if supported (use -dr)</li> + <li>hardware YUV to RGB conversion for -vo gl and -vo gl2, see yuv suboption</li> + <li>support for custom fragment programs for -vo gl (see TOOLS/*.fp)</li> + <li>support for bicubic hardware scaling in -vo gl, see lscale suboption</li> + <li>use libvbe from vesautils as VESA video driver</li> + <li>several fixes for the GGI video output driver</li> + <li>fall back on next video output driver if vo_3dfx failed to initialize</li> + <li>improved XvMC library detection (disabled by default)</li> + <li>DPI (Print-Resolution) and Pixel-Aspect support in vo_jpeg</li> + <li>ALSA audio output: several small fixes and improvements</li> + <li>removed experimental mmap suboption from the ALSA driver</li> + <li>YUY2 and back end scaling for S3 Virge chips on fbdev (-vo s3fb)</li> +</ul> + +<h4>Decoders:</h4> + +<ul> + <li>Indeo2 (RT21) support via lavc</li> + <li>Fraps video decoder via binary DLL</li> + <li>support for 8-bit PNGs with palette</li> + <li>support for dmb1 MJPEG files with ffmjpeg</li> + <li>support for musepack audio (WARNING: when seeking you might get ear- and speaker-breaking noises).
