24
25 * removed xxl core file from source tree.
26
27
28 3.86 => 3.87

55
56
57 3.83 => 3.84
58 ============
59
60 * fixed a number of gcc 3.3 warnings, also did some other cleanups
61 while being at it.

77 ============
78
79 * compile fixes again ...
80 * v4l-conf fix (Kyosti Malkki <kmalkki@cc.hut.fi>).
81 * wmhook fix (Marcin Krzyzanowski <krzak@hakore.com>).
82 * still a few compile bug left ...
83 * s/recode/iconv/. iconv should (unlike recode) be present on almost
84 every system as it comes with glibc ...
85 * wmhooks fixes.
86 * added -driver command line switcht to xawtv/motv.
87
88
89 3.80 => 3.81
90 ============
91
92 * even more compile fixes.
93 * fixed some core dumps (freqtab changes init bugs in fbtv + ttv).

95
96
97 3.79 => 3.80
98 ============
99
100 * misc small compile fixes and bugfixes.
101
102
103 3.78 => 3.79
104 ============
105
106 * More v4l2 fixes.
107 * Some infrastructure for dumping structs. Used that for
108 completely rewritten debug output of the video4linux plugins.
109 There is also a new utility called "v4l-info" which uses this.
110 * moved frequency tables into config files instead of having them
111 compiled-in
112 * added "group = " tag to channels. motv builds submenus per group

116 3.77 => 3.78
117 ============
118
119 * build fixes.
120 * new v4l2 module fixes.

123 3.76 => 3.77
124 ============
125
126 * fixed broken alevtd
127 * swapped gnome + netwm protocol checks (wmhooks.c), netwm is
128 preferred now.
129 * Added showqt utility (dumps structure of QuickTime files like
130 showriff does for AVI files).
131 * Added vdr control code.
132 * webcam's archive function now creates directories if needed.
133 * fixed spec file.
134 * started adding support for reading/writing raw dv files via libdv.
135 Probably not that useful yet, at least my box is far away from
136 being able to encode dv streams in real time. Even playback drops
137 more than 50% of the frames.
138 * added alsa mixer plugin (Malte Starostik <malte.starostik@t-online.de>).
139 * added plugin for new v4l2 api
140
141
142 3.75 => 3.76
143 ============
144
145 * reorganized screen blitting code (used for grabdisplay), moved that
146 to another file.
147 * Added OpenGL support (for hw-scaled RGB-images through gl-textures).
148 * libng got support for reading movie files. Added libquicktime
149 interface and AVI file parser.
150 * started writing a playback utility (debug/play.c for now ...), should
151 be able to playback all AVI/QuickTime movies recorded by
152 xawtv/streamer. Other QuickTime files should work too as long as the
153 codec is supported by libquicktime.
154 * Added Australian Optus cable TV channels (contributor wishes to remain
155 anonymous).
156 * Added icons (by Pedro Romão <pedro.romao@netvisao.pt>, they are in
157 contrib/)
158 * some A/V sync tweaks for the recording code.
159 * Correction of lens distortion for webcam (Frederic Helin
160 <Frederic.Helin@inrialpes.fr>).
161
162
163 3.74 => 3.75
164 ============
165
166 * fixed fullscreen code.
167 * webcam has a new option (wait=, see manpage).
168 * selection / dnd / cut+paste fixes.
169 * french translation (jose.jorge@cpam-auch.cnamts.fr)
170 * webcam: support multiple ftp connections (idea from "D. Brian
171 Larkins" <brian@sysd.com>).
172 * webcam: config options for text color (based on a patch from
173 Bill Marr <marr@shianet.org>)
174 * lots of VBI changes: dropped libvbi directory, using libzvbi
175 instead (http://zapping.ft.net, version 0.2.1 or newer).
176 * unbundled the fonts, there is another tarball with all the fonts
177 now.
178 * some more Makefile tweaks.
179
180
181 3.73 => 3.74
182 ============
183
184 * rewrote Makefiles. No recursive make any more. Faster now,
185 has sane dependences. Parallelizes (make -j) very good.
186 Really needs GNU make now.
187 * shuffled around source files.
188 * xscreensaver support. xawtv/motv will prevent xscreensaver kick in
189 when in fullscreen mode, and rootv can be used as xscreensaver
190 hack now.
191 * Changed the naming of the Xvideo extention command line switches,
192 hope they are a bit less confusing now.
193 * Changed motv mixer config, moved detection code to the oss sound
194 plugin.
195 * some spanish man pages (Ricardo Villalba <rvm@escomposlinux.org>).
196 * MoTV.ad: move <Key>osf* entries to the bottom of the translation
197 tables.
198 * minor alevtd fix (merge from webfsd).
199
200
201 3.72 => 3.73
202 ============
203
204 * new YUV4MPEG format support (Juan Antonio Zubimendi
205 <andoni@ilex.lpsat.net>).
206 * made grabdisplay check the aspect ratio configuration.
207 * dropped quicktime4linux support, using libquicktime
208 (http://libquicktime.sf.net) instead.
209 * added "fixed" as last fallback to all font sets.
210 * made plugin Makefile delete old, incompatible plugins.
211 * added iso8859-15 led font, for all these foobar@euro
212 locales ...
213
214
215 3.71 => 3.72
216 ============
217
218 * v4l2 fixes.
219 * irish frequency table fix (Dan Lindstrom).
220 * made the snap command write files using "write tmpfile + rename"
221 to allow atomic updates.
222
223
224 3.70 => 3.71
225 ============
226
227 * The idea to drop ~/.lircrc altogether wasn't that great, doesn't
228 work well with multiple apps receiving lirc events... xawtv
229 reads it again if present, but you don't need one. Check
230 README.lirc for the details.
231 * Fixed buffer overflow in "xawtv-remote vtx aaaaaa..."
232
233
234 3.69 => 3.70
235 ============
236
237 * Hacked up configureable input event mapping infrastructure. There
238 is a new [eventmap] section in the config file. Check the xawtvrc
239 man page for details.
240 * Made lirc code use the event mapping. xawtv does not use the
241 ~/.lircrc file config any more, but is configured using the
242 [eventmap] mentioned above. xawtv also has a reasonable default
243 configuration now, so lirc works out-of-the-box.
244 * Made midi input configurable via event mapping.
245 * Made joystick input configurable via event mapping.
246 * Made fbtv's ncurses kbd keys go through event mapping.
247 * added -a switch to scantv.
248 * fixed some bugs in handling TV stations which are specified by
249 frequency instead of channel name.
250 * fixed volume control segfault.
251 * added tooltips for motv (needs OpenMotif 2.2).
252 * color support for bktr driver (Rolandas Naujikas <rolnauj@delfi.lt>).
253
254
255 3.68 => 3.69
256 ============
257
258 * added API versioning to the plugins.
259 * added attributes to struct ng_filter, so you can control filter
260 settings via GUI.
261 * added gamma filter plugin.
262 * updated documentation (libng/OVERVIEW), added some hints for
263 filter plugin programming. Note: motv has a menu to deal with
264 filters, xawtv has no GUI elements yet.
265 * more record tool improvements (level trigger for recording).
266 * removed fixed 0-65535 range for integer attributes, using min and
267 max values instead. This also affects the attributes specified
268 within the config file.
269 * Some improvements for the radio utility.
270 * make v4l-conf run most code as real user, not root. That should
271 improve security and also make v4l-conf not fail on ~/.Xauthority
272 located at root-squash mounted NFS dirs.
273 * hacked up a test app to play with OpenGL textures for video
274 playback. Not built by default. Needs Motif. Check src/gl.c if
275 you wanna have a look.
276
277
278 3.67 => 3.68
279 ============
280
281 * more build/install fixes.
282 * various new switches for the record tool.
283 * fixed channel switching bug, the long delay is gone now ...
284 * xawtv/motv keep track of TV norm and input source per TV
285 station now.
286 * fixed audio mode (mono vs. stereo) handling for v4l2.
287 * increased audio mode check delay to get better results.
288 * replaced rpm specfile
289
290
291 3.66 => 3.67
292 ============
293
294 * NOTE: take this one a bit with care, it isn't tested that much and
295 rushed out (after x-max + newyear holidays) because it has various
296 build fixes. Also various patches from other people are integrated,
297 I don't have anything pending in my inbox now. If I missed / broke
298 something, please resend patches against this version.
299 * more plugin support in libng.
300 * some libng stuff is now implemented as plugin.
301 * build plugins with -fPIC.
302 * fixed FreeBSD build problems (due to new plugins).
303 * fixed bugs in fbdev code.
304 * moved OSS code to libng.
305 * avevtd patches (Gerald Schnabel <etk20835@stud.uni-stuttgart.de>).

310 ============
311
312 * various scantv fixes.
313 * added "show" command for v4lctl, updated man-page.
314 * LFS bug in showriff fixed, now it finally displays large
315 files correctly.
316 * Added experimental image filtering plugin interface, for
317 now only works for the x11 screen in "grabdisplay" mode.
318 * Made it build with both alsa 0.5.x and 0.9.x.
319 * Made it build without X11 installed.
320
321
322 3.64 => 3.65
323 ============
324
325 * fixed FreeBSD build problems.
326 * control *tv via joystick (based on patches from "W. Michael Petullo"
327 <mike@flyn.org>).
328 * fixed fbtv cursor keys to work as documented (and like they work in
329 xawtv).
330 * splitted reading and parsing of the config file to fix some minor
331 initialization order issues.
332 * more alevtd fixes/patches (Alessandro Fausto).
333 * added window clipping fixups (range checks, drop empty clips,
334 try merge clip windows).
335 * removed chromakey color flash on channel switches
336 * added -c option for scantv.
337 * full devfs support for fbtv.
338
339

350 ============
351
352 * tried to reduce the channel switch delay a bit.

357 * "fbtv -M" + v4l2 fixed.
358 * ttv: ignore aspect ratio.
359 * ttv: segfault-at-exit fixed.
360 * added subpage link list to alevtd pages
361 (Alessandro Fausto <fareale@libero.it>).
362 * updated libvbi to alevt 1.6.0 code.
363
364
365 3.61 => 3.62
366 ============
367
368 * fixed italy frequency table (Gianluca <gialluca@tiscalinet.it>).
369 * oss changes to improve audio/video sync with some sound cards.
370 * Fancy DnD icon for motv.
371 * preferences dialog for motv.
372 * fixed segfault when typing '00' on the keypad.
373 * fixed VIDIOCSWIN error handling.

397 * temporarely suspend grabdisplay for attribute changes.
398 * mjpeg-quality config option is gone, jpeg-quality is used
399 everythere now.
400
401
402 3.59 => 3.60
403 ============
404
405 * Added proper cleanup code for DnD. This breaks DnD with KDE apps
406 because they _first_ signal the transfer is finished, _then_ try to
407 read the tmp file which might be already deleted at that point ...
408 * separated primary selection (aka clipboard) and DnD selection data.
409 * fixed segfault with DnD + not capturing devices (i.e. Xvideo).
410
411
412 3.58 => 3.59
413 ============
414
415 * keypad-partial fixes.

420 problems.
421 * Added support for selections (clipboard & dnd) to motv.
422 * Fixed missing "setinput next"
423
424
425 3.57 => 3.58
426 ============
427
428 * Makefile / build process updates. make depend is done automagically
429 now if needed. Parallel builds (make -j) work better. Enabled a few
430 more warnings.
431 * new keypad-partial config option (Pawel Sakowski <pawel@sakowski.eu.org>).
432 * made oss mixer work again for fbtv.
433 * merged some stuff from Kawamata/Hitoshi <kwmt@din.or.jp>'s patches.
434 * finally multithreaded compression for those of you with SMP boxen.
435 * text/plain support for alevtd (Adam Sampson <azz@gnu.org>).
436 * Documentation updates.
437
438
439 3.56 => 3.57
440 ============
441
442 * changed oss mixer control internals

456 (Sunjin Yang <lethean@realtime.ssu.ac.kr>).
457
458
459 3.54 => 3.55
460 ============
461
462 * some fbtv fixes.
463
464
465 3.53 => 3.54
466 ============
467
468 * NOTE: starting with 3.53 "make depend" is REQUIRED to build
469 xawtv.
470 * more motif code / fixes.
471 * moved devices.c to libng, added init function for switching to
472 devfs namespace.
473 * made xawtv/motv more quiet by default, prefixed some messages
474 with "if (debug)".
475 * copyed new fb font rendering from fbi for fbtv.
476 * Made grabdisplay in fbtv work again.
477 * Added german application defaults for motv.
478 * fixed default dsp device.
479 * added v4l2 support to v4l-conf.
480
481
482 3.52 => 3.53
483 ============
484
485 * various build fixes (aa.c / build without Xvideo / FreeBSD).
486 * s|/dev/video|/dev/video0|, also moved stuff to a single file.

499
500
501 3.50 => 3.51
502 ============
503
504 * Major documentation update
505 * Some more motif tweaks. Build it with --enable-motif if you have
506 openmotif installed and want to have a look, comments about the
507 new GUI are welcome. motv is the exectutable (anyone has a idea for
508 a better name ?).
509 * disabled packed pixel yuv for FreeBSD (broken).
510 * added -hwscan option.
511
512
513 3.49 => 3.50
514 ============
515
516 * lot of new motif stuff

519
520
521 3.48 => 3.49
522 ============
523
524 * added archive function to the webcam utility.
525 * config file tags are case insensitive now.
526 * changed webcam to use libng conversions (i.e. it can deal
527 with yuv-only devices now).
528 * raw yuv data support for quicktime (with help from
529 W. Michael Petullo <mike@flyn.org>)
530 * more new motif stuff.
531
532
533 3.47 => 3.48
534 ============
535
536 * added config file entries for record settings.
537 * fixed some minor FreeBSD build problems on.
538 * Managed it to get the locate stuff right for the motif
539 version.
540 * fixed a rate control bug.
541 * fixed a bug in vtx display code.
542 * frequency table for south africa (Hendrik Visage <hvisage@envisage.co.za>)
543
544
545 3.46 => 3.47
546 ============
547
548 * fixed more makefile flaws (which broke rpm -ta).
549 * fixed a bug in color space conversion
550 (FUKUCHI Kentarou <fukuchi@is.titech.ac.jp>)
551 * reactivated chromakeying code. Untested.
552 * Bumped the timeout for VIDIOCSYNC from one to three
553 seconds. Seems some USB-Devices need more time
554 for the first frame.
555 * dropped Xaw3d support altogether.
556 * added back in some 3D effects using the new features of the
557 XFree86 4 Athena widgets.
558
559
560 3.45 => 3.46
561 ============
562
563 * fixed Makefile bug (which caused fonts not being included in the
564 tarball).
565
566
567 3.44 => 3.45
568 ============
569
570 * Xaw3d disabled by default -- it crashes xawtv with i18n turned on.
571
572
573 3.43 => 3.44
574 ============
575
576 * fixed minor bug in grab-v4l.c
577 * rewrote much of the conversion/compression code, made it reentrant.
578 * moved the conversion/compression code to a thread.
579 * rewrote the grabdisplay code.
580 * The -xvideo and -device switches implicitly turn on/off the Xvideo
581 extention.
582 * The vtx command (see xawtv-remote man-page) can parse ANSI color
583 sequences too.
584 * new shell script to display subtitles.
585 * update for cc (Adam <adam@cfar.umd.edu>). Moved the utility
586 out of the contrib, renamed it to ntsc-cc (to avoid name clashes
587 with the C compiler) and included it into the Makefile tree, so
588 it gets compiled and installed by default. Wrote a short man
589 page for it.
590 * some progress on the motif version.
591 * fixed a bug in webcam (Kelsey Hudson <khudson@rohan.sdsu.edu>).
592
593
594 3.42 => 3.43
595 ============
596
597 * webcam update (tmp file fix, allow to give a config file as
598 argument)
599 * turned off the *&%($ debugging code in grab-v4l.c
600 * some bugfixes in sound recording code.
601 * made the motif version compile again (still very incomplete
602 and not built by default).
603
604
605 3.41 => 3.42
606 ============
607
608 * Added color space conversion functions for 4:2:2 yuv (packed) to rgb.
609 * Added color space conversion functions for 4:2:2 yuv (planar) to rgb.
610 * minor cleanups in the conversion functions.
611 * some fixes from Kawamata/Hitoshi <kwmt@din.or.jp>.
612
613
614 3.40 => 3.41
615 ============
616
617 * changed xawtv's internal time representation.
618 * rewrote rate control again. xawtv can puts frames twice into
619 the queue now, recording @ 25fps without frame drops is no
620 problem any more.
621 * made video stream recording optional. streamer can record
622 video only, video/audio and audio only (xawtv GUI not updated
623 yet). This implies that for avi and quicktime streams specifing
624 a video format isn't optional any more. If no video format is
625 given, streamer will not pick one for you, but will record audio
626 only.
627 * reorganized sound recording code a bit, added byteswapping support.
628 * MIT SHM failures with XvImages are catched now (=> hw scaling on
629 a remote display should work -- untested)
630 * gracefully fallback to "normal" rgb ximages if hw scaling with
631 Xvideo failes because the v4l driver can't capture packed yuv.
632 * 0.05 MHz steps for the radio app (Nils Kassube <kassube@gmx.net>).
633 * fixed one more segfault.
634 * updated README.recording
635
636
637 3.39 => 3.40 [the segfault bugfix release]
638 ==========================================
639
640 * 3 lines fix in grab-v4l.c.
641
642
643 3.38 => 3.39
644 ============
645
646 * fixed a bug in color space conversion.
647 * fixed minor initialization bugs in grab-v4l.c + grab-v4l2.c
648 * added attribute reading for BSD.
649 * added a switch to alevtd to set the vbi device.
650
651
652 3.37 => 3.38
653 ============
654
655 * attribute fixes for v4l and v4l2.
656 * implemented boolean attributes.
657 * deleted some obsoleted (by the new attr handling) status
658 variables, fixed various places which used the old ones (with
659 *ahem* intresting side effects).
660
661
662 3.36 => 3.37
663 ============
664
665 * minor fixes and tweaks in the capture code.
666 * added missing libng initialization to fbtv, streamer
667 and v4lctl (Oops...).
668
669
670 3.35 => 3.36
671 ============
672
673 * better fullscreen switching in xinerama.
674 * added the missing config.h include to xvideo.c
675 * moved some code into the new libng directory.
676 * rewrote compression + color space conversion.
677 * Fixed v4lctl segfault.
678 * Fixed a minor bug in v4l code (PAL-M with bttv works again).
679 * updated webcam, uses libng now. It expects TV norm and
680 video source as strings ("PAL" instead of "0", ...) now.
681 Works also on FreeBSD, switches between v4l + v4l2 at runtime
682 not compile time.
683 * made Makefiles portable.
684
685
686 3.34 => 3.35
687 ============
688
689 * fixed segfault in scantv.
690 * don't list "normal" ioctl failures for v4l2 (i.e. the ones which are
691 do *not* indicate some error the user should care about).
692 * rewrote xawtv's attribute handling.
693 * made the -bpp switch work again.
694 * detect xinerama (not used yet).
695
696
697 3.33 => 3.34
698 ============
699
700 * attribute fixes for Xvideo and v4l2.
701 * fbtv bugfixes.
702
703
704 3.32 => 3.33
705 ============
706
707 * lots of fixes: bugs in the new capture code, portability problems.
708 * fixes in the bktr support, can do full framerate now, added yuv
709 capture. Think it works reasonable well now (so I can list BSD
710 as "supported" on the Homepage without getting flamed for it :-)
711
712
713 3.31 => 3.32 [non-public release]
714 =================================
715
716 * fixed a few bugs in the new v4l code, re-added capture using
717 read().
718 * removed videodev.h from the tarball, using the kernel's header
719 file instead. This means xawtv will not build on 2.0.x kernels
720 any more.
721 * made v4l2 support working again, added ioctl tracking for easier
722 debugging. I have no audio yet, althrouth this might be a bttv2
723 problem as bttv2 + v4l interface doesn't work either but bttv
724 0.7.x is fine.
725 * It builds cleanly on FreeBSD, bktr support working again. Sort
726 of. Overlay has some intresting clipping issues, capture works
727 without rate control and 12 fps max. No yuv capture yet.
728
729
730 3.30 => 3.31 [non-public release]
731 =================================
732
733 * Got a few pointers for malloc debuggers (http://www.dmalloc.com,
734 http://freshmeat.net/projects/njamd/,
735 http://www.cbmamiga.demon.co.uk/mpatrol). Thanks to all, I'll
736 have a look next time I need one...
737 * started rewriting the driver interfaces (new attribute handling,
738 switch over to grab-ng.h structs + interfaces). v4l and Xvideo
739 are ported and passed brief testing, v4l2 + bsd are temporarely
740 broken.
741 * some jpeg/mjpeg compression fiddeling.
742
743
744 3.29 => 3.30
745 ============
746
747 * fix build problems.
748
749
750 3.28 => 3.29
751 ============
752
753 * next chunk of the capture core rewrite.
754 * moved audio recording to a thread, this hopefully fixes a few
755 problems (should stop audio overruns, doesn't need select
756 support in the driver any more).
757 * Added a fancy status display which hopefully helps to trouble-shoot
758 syncronisation problems.
759 * major update for README.recording
760 * killed the --enable-efence configure option. Isn't thread safe :-(
761 Anyone knows a free malloc debugger which is?
762 * added autoconf tests for getopt.h / getopt_long
763 * streamer can write raw video data (again).
764
765
766 3.27 => 3.28
767 ============
768
769 * completed v4l ioctl tracking.
770 * bug fixed in quicktime code.
771 * scantv fixes.
772 * fixed bugs in the movie recording code (memory leak,
773 uncatched failures).
774
775
776 3.26 => 3.27
777 ============
778
779 * (hopefully) fixed rpm build problems.
780 * started adding ioctl tracking to the v4l code.
781 * fixed a bug in overlay code (uninitialized video_picture.depth)
782
783
784 3.25 => 3.26
785 ============
786
787 * initialization order bug in volume control fixed (thanks to
788 rolf.siebrecht@t-online.de).
789 * added a few options to scantv, allowing it to be used
790 non-interactive.
791 * added GUI support for the rewritten capture code, recording
792 movies with xawtv works again.
793
794
795 3.24 => 3.25 [non-public release]
796 =================================
797
798 * teached the v4l code to turn off (and back on) overlay when fiddeling
799 with SPICT and SWIN ioctls for read() capture. Mixing overlay and
800 read() capture works now without funny effects.
801 * fixed a bug in grabdisplay error handling (which made xawtv die with
802 "aiee: grab_fps==0" because it forgot to clean up on capture errors).
803 * started a major rewrite of the core capture code. See grab-ng.h
804 Step one:
805 - rewrote the movie output code.
806 - writeavi.c is reentrant now.
807 - Added quicktime support (lousely based on W. Michael Petullo's
808 quicktime patches).
809 - Added support for recording image files with audio in a separate
810 wav file.
811 - xawtv's movie recording is temporarely broken, GUI updates not in
812 place yet. You'll have to use streamer for now, sorry.
813
814
815 3.23 => 3.24
816 ============
817
818 * -xvport does _really_ work now...
819 * Improved the OpenBSD port. Clipping works better now, single frame
820 capture works.
821 * decreased the timeout for hiding the mouse pointer.
822 * fixed onscreen display logic.
823 * removed 320x240 capture size limit for yuv (Xvideo-scaled) grabdisplay
824 mode.
825 * fixed rate control (and killed the anonying but harmless error message
826 in grabdisplay mode).
827 * Added cc.c patches (Adam <adam@cfar.umd.edu>).
828
829
830 3.22 => 3.23
831 ============
832
833 * added -xvport option to set the Xv port.
834 * Killed all the old mouse pointer handling code and the assorted config
835 config options / cmd line switches. Replaced it with a simple timeout
836 logic: If you don't move the mouse for some time xawtv will hide the
837 pointer. Any pointer motion event will show the pointer again.
838 * new xawtv-remote command: showtime.
839
840
841 3.21 => 3.22
842 ============
843
844 * FastText for alevtd (Malcolm Parsons <malcolm@bits.bris.ac.uk>).
845 * xawtv-remote patch (Adam <adam@cfar.umd.edu>)
846 * misc bugfixes
847 * netwm support (Dirk Mueller <dmuell@gmx.net>)
848
849
850 3.20 => 3.21
851 ============
852
853 * specfile fixed (app-defaults are missing).
854 * compile fix for alevtd.
855 * bugfix in v4l2 code.
856 * removed the boring core dump from the source tree.
857
858
859 3.19 => 3.20
860 ============
861
862 * minor man-page updates.
863 * OpenBSD port starts working: xawtv compiles, overlay works.
864 Clipping doesn´t work for some reason (It´s me or the driver?).
865 As FreeBSD uses the same driver it should be easy to make xawtv
866 work there too.
867 * Plenty of autoconf tweaks to make the whole package compile
868 cleanly on BSD.
869 * converted a number of structs to "field: value" style
870 initialization.
871 * Added audio= option to ~/.xawtv
872 * manpage updates.
873
874
875 3.18 => 3.19
876 ============
877
878 * Added libvbi (vbi decoding code from alevt)
879 * Added scantv: does a channel scan, picks up the station id from
880 vbi, writes a xawtv config file.
881 * minor webcam tweaks
882 * Added alevtd - a http server for videotext pages.
883
884
885 3.17 => 3.18
886 ============
887
888 * off-by-one bug in colorspace.c fixed.
889 * Documentation updates
890 * webcam patches from les Niles <lniles@narus.com>
891 * libjpeg dependency changed from optional to required (webcam
892 never worked without libjpeg before, and libjpeg is present
893 on nearly any linux system anyway, so...)
894 * Added triggers to the webcam - compare the current image with the
895 last uploaded one, try to figure if it has changed and upload only
896 if it has...
897
898
899 3.16 => 3.17
900 ============
901
902 * new -w switch for streamer (Santiago Garcia Mantinan <manty@i.am>)
903
904
905 3.15 => 3.16
906 ============
907
908 * The 3.15 tarball had a big binary included by mistake.
909 * Some v4l2 fixes.
910
911
912 3.14 => 3.15
913 ============
914
915 * fixed a bug in the channel editor (did'nt saved the input for
916 new channels)
917 * shuffled around some code -- split Xaw and general Xt/X11 code.
918 * added max size check to v4l2 overlay code.
919 * added (un)mute to rootv
920
921
922 3.13 => 3.14
923 ============
924
925 * Added a "fix-aspect-ratio" option (quick guide: add
926 "radio=4:3" to the [global] section).
927 * fixed a few bugs in the new avi recording code.
928 audio+video should work again.
929 * A fullscreen option in the config file enables the VidMode
930 extention now.
931 * added read()-based capture support to the webcam. Untested.
932
933
934 3.12 => 3.13
935 ============
936
937 * some xvideo finetuning
938 * Added xvideo support to v4lctl
939 * Added rootv utility
940 * Added debian package information
941 * Added small script to pick up channels from videotext (*.de,
942 Kabel1 pages, from Kai Fett, it is in contrib/vtx2xawtv)
943 * webcam: moved ftp code to another source file, made it runtime
944 configurable, wrote a man-page
945 * wrote a manpage for showriff
946
947
948 3.11 => 3.12
949 ============
950
951 * Added the missing -D_REENTRANT to the Makefile
952 * picked up the r@dio.mp3 client from the v4l list, put it
953 into the contrib directory.
954 * avi recording fix (audio+video stream length are identical now).
955 * xawtv-remote protocol supports more than one command now. Commands
956 are separated by a zero-length string, i.e. 'xawtv-remote foo "" bar'
957 * new xawtv-remote command: vtx (interface for subtitles). Check
958 the man-page for details.
959 * webcam fixes.
960
961
962 3.10 => 3.11
963 ============
964
965 * fbtv grabdisplay fix, added G400 (works with G200 code too).
966 * lirc code update (Ilya Konstantinov <future@galanet.net>). You might
967 have to upgrade lirc to compile this version.
968 * fixed the bool ressources. They are /really/ boolean now,
969 i.e. "xawtv.vidmode: true" works now.
970 * fixed a few bugs in the new recording code.
971 * added support for freq= in ~/.xawtv. Untested.
972 * avi writing code fix (broken size for one header field,
973 found by David Gesswein <djg@drs-esg.com>). Now the windows media
974 player accepts xawtv's movies, cool...
975 * Added command line parsing to showriff. Added a option to make it
976 not stop on errors.
977 * Fixed avi initialization code. It forgot to reset some counters,
978 and thats why xawtv wrote broken avi files if you've recorded more
979 than one...
980 * Added new command to xawtv-remote: webcam.
981
982
983 3.09 => 3.10
984 ============
985
986 * fixed pthread compile problems.
987 * first cut of the new recording code is active. It still needs
988 some tweaking, but the basics work. v4l2 is'nt updated yet.
989 audio+video syncronisation should work better. It is also possible
990 to start/stop xawtv's avi-recording with xawtv-remote (see manpage).
991
992
993 3.08 => 3.09
994 ============
995
996 * extended showriff a bit
997 * fixed broken rpm build
998 * started rewriting the capture code. Switching over to threads,
999 hope I get the audio/video syncronisation issues fixed this way.
1000 Right now it is dead code only...
1001
1002
1003 3.07 => 3.08
1004 ============
1005
1006 * reverted the frequency table split for europe. Turned out this
1007 was a bad idea...
1008 * Added options to enable dga/vidmode/... extentions. Vidmode is
1009 off by default now. This is the X Extention used for switching
1010 video modes, i.e. you'll have to start xawtv with "-vm" now to
1011 make it switching the video mode when going to fullscreen mode.
1012 * Added chroma keying support.
1013 * OpenDML support for avi. Now the intresting question: Who can
1014 playback or at least read these files? I don't know how to test
1015 this stuff...
1016 * Documentation updates
1017
1018
1019 3.06 => 3.07
1020 ============
1021
1022 * added troggle-mouse option (turn on/off mouse when swithing to
1023 fullscreen).
1024 * Added "stay on bottom". The "stay-on-top" command does now cycle
1025 between normal, top and bottom.
1026 * Added support for more than two capture buffers to grab-v4l.c
1027
1028
1029 3.06 => 3.07
1030 ============
1031
1032 * As usual, some bugfixes
1033 * values for volume, contrast, color, ... can be specified in
1034 percent too, just add '%' to the number: 50% == 32768
1035 * more led fonts (latin2, koi8). Right now you have to set the
1036 app-defaults by hand to make use of them, need some more elegant
1037 way to switch charsets...
1038 * Added the UHF frequencies to europe-cable. It's used at least in
1039 Switzerland for cable TV.
1040 * some changes in yuv-to-offscreen handling for fbtv due to bttv
1041 changes.
1042
1043
1044 3.05 => 3.06
1045 ============
1046
1047 * Aiee, there was a stale .nfs<longnumber> file in the 3.05 archive...
1048
1049
1050 3.04 => 3.05
1051 ============
1052
1053 * new config options: turn on/off onscreen display, keypad mode,
1054 mjpeg quality. Check the man page for details.
1055 * Added XvPutImage support for grabdisplay mode. You'll need
1056 XFree86 3.9.17 to compile this release with Xv support.
1057 * rearranged the european frequency tables. They are splitted into
1058 broadcast and cable tv now.
1059
1060
1061 3.03 => 3.04
1062 ============
1063
1064 * fbtv font loader fixed. Nice showstopper, I should start the app at
1065 least once next time...
1066 * fbtv: ATI Mach64 backend scaler support works now with my revB iMac.
1067
1068 Note: I still have some changes/minor bug reports in my incoming mailbox.
1069 Next release. I want to get this one out of the door quickly due to the
1070 fbtv problems.
1071
1072
1073 3.02 => 3.03
1074 ============
1075
1076 * broke fbtv font loading.
1077 * forgot writing Changes entries.
1078
1079
1080 3.01 => 3.02
1081 ============
1082
1083 * some finetuning for the keypad stuff.
1084 * G200 backend scaler support in fbtv.
1085
1086
1087 3.0 => 3.01
1088 ===========
1089
1090 * Frequency table renaming was incomplete. The menu was'nt
1091 updated.
1092 * v4l-conf did'nt compile with 2.0.x kernel headers.
1093 * -c switch (select device) was broken.
1094 * added hard coded width limit for capture (buggy kernel bttv :-( )
1095
1096
1097 3.0rc1 => 3.0
1098 =============
1099
1100 * Added station selection by "two-digit" selection. All stations
1101 are numbered in .xawtv order; entering two numbers within 5
1102 seconds are interpreted as station number which should be tuned.
1103 You'll have to use the keypad in xawtv. Should work with lirc too
1104 (using the new "keypad" command).
1105 * global spellfix s/lauch/launch/. Attention, this might affect
1106 your config file too...
1107 * channel editor fixes.
1108 * F5-F12 (bright/color/... adjust by keyboard) is back.
1109
1110
1111 3.0beta9 => 3.0rc1
1112 ==================
1113
1114 * updated v4l2 driver to the new interface.
1115 * some finetuning in the v4l2 driver.
1116 * cleaned up v4l-conf.c
1117 * renamed the frequency tables: removed the TV norm from the name
1118 to avoid confusion.
1119 * the usual set of bugfixes.
1120
1121
1122 3.0beta8 => 3.0beta9
1123 ====================
1124
1125 * webcam: can set input/norm now.
1126 * webcam: new cgi script for continously updated image (netscape
1127 only, uses serverpush).
1128 * the usual set of bugfixes.
1129 * write list index for avi files, mjpeg support (with some code
1130 from Michael Nastvogel <michael.nastvogel-woerz@ipf.de>)
1131 mjpeg is still buggy...
1132 * added new frequency table for france (LOUIS-SIDNEY Rodolphe
1133 <sidney@gcu-geot.insa-lyon.fr>)
1134
1135
1136 3.0beta7 => 3.0beta8
1137 ====================
1138
1139 * add a new switch (-a) to v4l-conf for setting the base address.
1140 This should make bttv configuration more easy if the X-Server
1141 lacks DGA support.
1142 * fixed the Makefiles for building in a subdirectory (i.e handle
1143 "mkdir build; cd build; ../configure && make" correctly). Now
1144 I can switch from ppc to i386 without "make distclean" :-)
1145 * Plenty of fixes for the channel editor. Seems nobody uses it,
1146 it must have been broken for weeks...
1147 * fbtv+xawtv refuse to work when installed suid root now. This is
1148 /not/ needed, only v4l-conf requires root priviliges.
1149 * v4l2: added tuner support, minor fixes.
1150 * added channel 36 for australia, this one was missing for some
1151 reason...
1152
1153
1154 3.0beta6 => 3.0beta7
1155 ====================
1156
1157 * Added autoscroll for the station menu. Xaw3d has some redraw
1158 problems with this. Probably some library bug, it does not
1159 happen with Xaw. Workaround idea anyone?
1160 * Misc bugfixes.
1161 * Documentation updates. To be continued...
1162
1163
1164 3.0beta5 => 3.0beta6
1165 ====================
1166
1167 * minor appdefauls fixes (wheel-mouse was broken).
1168 * config file parser rewritten. config file format is slightly
1169 modified, check the xawtv man page.
1170 * unbundled kradio to avoid the KDE compile hassle.
1171 * fullscreen fixes.
1172 * xawtv-remote supports multiple xawtv instances (querys all
1173 xawtv windows, not just the first one it finds, new switch
1174 '-i' to set the window ID when passing commands to xawtv).
1175
1176
1177 3.0beta4 => 3.0beta5
1178 ====================
1179
1180 * Added support for qcams (capture via read() system call)
1181 * yuv capture support (???, I've already deleted this mail)
1182 * radio fixes (from debian bugtraq)
1183
1184
1185 3.0beta3 => 3.0beta4
1186 ====================
1187
1188 * merged some new code for radio from Juli Merino <jmmv@bigfoot.com>
1189 * wrote a man-page for radio
1190 * added v4l-conf security fixes from Olaf Kirch <okir@lst.de>
1191 * lirc bugfix.
1192 * xawtv can use another than the default visual now. Not bugfree yet.
1193
1194
1195 3.0beta2 => 3.0beta3
1196 ====================
1197
1198 * started updating the documentation.
1199 * reorganized source code tree.
1200 * removed the hardcoded maxsizes from grab-v4l.c
1201 * rewrote the attribute (color/hue/... + audio) handling
1202
1203
1204 3.0beta1 => 3.0beta2
1205 ====================
1206
1207 * ditched getopt(), using the Xt lib / X11 resources instead. This
1208 has the effect that the options work a bit different now.
1209 * added v4lctl utility. This allows to control alot v4l options from
1210 the command line. Obsoletes set-tv.
1211 * set-tv.c and streamer-old.c moved into the new "oldstuff" directory.
1212 * alot of xawtv fixes -- more features are working again.
1213 * fbtv is updated too. It should accept lirc commands now exactly like
1214 xawtv.
1215
1216
1217 2.45 => 3.0beta1
1218 ================
1219
1220 * Lot of internal changes. Separate the control code from the GUI.
1221 Simplifies the the xawtv-remote and lirc support, makes xawtv and
1222 fbtv share more code. Lot of stuff is broken currently...
1223
1224
1225 2.44 => 2.45
1226 ============
1227
1228 * Added a 'back' key which switches back to the last station tuned in.
1229 Mapped to BackSpace. Pressing backspace multiple times zaps
1230 between the last two stations.
1231 * The applications configured with "lauch=..." in ~/.xawtv are listed
1232 in a window now ('L' displays it). Allocation bug in the config file
1233 parser fixed.
1234 * switched back from double to float for X-Resources.
1235
1236
1237 2.43 => 2.44
1238 ============
1239
1240 * fbtv: added -q switch. This turns of status messages + clock, and
1241 fbtv does'nt reserve space for the status line (i.e. you'll can get
1242 true full screen)
1243 * started lirc support (currently some debug code only...)
1244 * changed float to double for X resources (Xaw scrollbars). This
1245 fixes problems on alpha and seems to work fine on intel. Hope I
1246 did'nt broke ppc...
1247 * fixed the radio programs (mute on exit). Untested.
1248 * webcam bugfix (switching to binary mode must be done _after_connecting).
1249
1250
1251 2.42 => 2.43
1252 ============
1253
1254 * Xvideo updates
1255 * some bttv changes to make it more compatible to the kernel
1256 version, added patches from Greg Alexander <galexand@acm.org>.
1257 * removed the "unmute-on-open", Updated the open/close for
1258 radio too. bttv radio should behave like all other radio
1259 drivers do (i.e. you have to open the device only if you
1260 want to change some settings).
1261 * Unbundled the bttv driver, my bttv code is available as
1262 another tar file at the same location (bttv-0.6.3a currently).
1263 * Errors (at least some :-) are reported with a dialog box now,
1264 not only to stderr.
1265 * channel handling is completely rewritten. If you change the frequency
1266 table, all frequencies for the programmed stations are recalculated
1267 now.
1268 * added some missing channels for japan.
1269 * streamer: the -i and -n switches work again.
1270 * xawtv dumped core with nonaudio devices, fixed (Pauline Middelink
1271 <middelin@polyware.nl>)
1272 * updated videodev2.h
1273
1274
1275 2.41 => 2.42
1276 ============
1277
1278 * DON'T PANIC
1279
1280
1281 2.40 => 2.41
1282 ============
1283
1284 * completed avi recording code in xawtv.
1285 * renamed streamer to streamer-old and streamer-new to streamer.
1286 i.e. ther new streamer tool is the default now.
1287 * internal changes (for scanline length != image width)
1288 * added grabdisplay mode to fbtv.
1289 * Added some SR* channels to frequency table "pal-europe-east" (they
1290 are used in Poland). Hmm, maybe I should reorganize the whole
1291 channel setup, it starts getting difficuilt to maintain this the way
1292 it is implemented currently...
1293 * Alpha cleanups (use long for pointers etc.) from
1294 Ralf Uhlig <ralf@uhlig-online.de>
1295 * mklinux support for v4l-conf (Takashi Oe)
1296 * the "-x" option is gone, there are two new ones instead: "--nodga"
1297 to disable DGA and "--novm" to disable VidMode.
1298 * Added the capability to lauch programs from within xawtv.
1299 * removed the "mute-on-close" from the bttv driver.
1300
1301
1302 2.39 => 2.40
1303 ============
1304
1305 * Endian fixes from Takashi Oe (avi recording works now on big
1306 endian boxes).
1307 * xawtv can record avi movies directly. ^S brings you to this
1308 dialog. Please don't complain that you are missing options, this
1309 is on my TODO list. Everything you can set for streamer with
1310 command line options will be available in xawtv too. That stuff
1311 is work-in-progress, take the code as beta quality...
1312 * Bug fixes and internal changes.
1313 * security fixes from marc@suse.de: v4l-conf.c verifies the v4l major,
1314 /tmp symlink fix for vtx.sh.
1315 * msp3400 bug fixes, short programming (insmod option "simple=1")
1316 should work now. With newer msp34xx chip versions you'll should
1317 get stereo for NTSC TV and FM Radio.
1318 * more Xvideo code.
1319
1320
1321 2.38 => 2.39
1322 ============
1323
1324 * added --shift option to xawtv, this can be used to shift the
1325 image if it is outside the xawtv window.
1326 * added time display to fbtv.
1327 * stay-on-top added (works with gnome-compilant WM's)
1328 * patches from Takashi Oe for devices without audio/tuner support.
1329 * Found a new cool rpm feature (this one is new, eh?):
1330 "rpm -ta package.tar.gz" will build nice rpm. No extra spec
1331 file needed any more :-)
1332 * Started Xvideo support.
1333 * A few internal changes.
1334
1335
1336 2.37 => 2.38
1337 ============
1338
1339 * snapshot filename handling has changed: Files are saved with a
1340 timestamp (YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS) and channel in the filename.
1341 * xawtv is ^^^^ y2k compilant :-)
1342 * new config file entry: "jpeg-quality"
1343 * webcam utility updated. It's now working with the v4l2 winnov videum
1344 driver at http://www.BerlinOnline.de/spass/live_kamera/
1345 * good news for *.fr: more msp3400 fixes, NICAM/AM should finally
1346 work now.
1347
1348
1349 2.36 => 2.37
1350 ============
1351
1352 * fixed minor compile problems on 2.0.x.
1353
1354
1355 2.35 => 2.36
1356 ============
1357
1358 * documentation updates, new FAQ for sound trouble.
1359 * streamer fixes (the endian fixes for 2.33 broke streamer)
1360 * driver synced up with bttv 0.6.3
1361 * misc minor bug fixes
1362
1363
1364 2.34 => 2.35
1365 ============
1366
1367 * updated bttv to 0.6.2 and fixed the 2.0.x compile problems.
1368 * msp3400 problems with 2.2.0pre7+ fixed.
1369
1370
1371 2.33 => 2.34
1372 ============
1373
1374 * new NTSC-HRC frequency table, contributed by
1375 Erik Kiledal <ekiledal@home.com>
1376 * 15 bpp was broken _again_. Fixed.
1377 * driver: msp3400 updates. Tried to make nicam mono/stereo switching
1378 work, but no success so far...
1379 * bttv updated to 0.6.1
1380 * DPMS support (turn it off for fullscreen TV), contributed by
1381 Martin Denn <mdenn@schachtel.mz.rhein-main.de>
1382
1383
1384 2.32 => 2.33
1385 ============
1386
1387 * more patches from Takashi Oe (endian fixes, make fbtv work with
1388 DirectColor visual)
1389 * slighly modified audio handling (mono/stereo/bilangual, the driver
1390 returns the valid choices instead of the current state now). This
1391 affects both xawtv and driver and is _not_ backward compatible.
1392 * various minor changes.
1393 * new shell script for browsing videotext pages. requires a
1394 terminal with > 24 lines.
1395
1396
1397 2.31 => 2.32
1398 ============
1399
1400 * bugfix: changed bytesex.h to edian.h in x11.c
1401 * bugfix: overlay did'nt work without DGA.
1402
1403
1404 2.30 => 2.31
1405 ============
1406
1407 * more cleanups, the minor overlay flaws should be fixed.
1408 * coded up v4l2 overlay support -- completely untested.
1409 * minor fbtv fixes.
1410 * started to shuffle around some code from streamer. The
1411 new version has another name (streamer-new) for now. It
1412 can already handle v4l2, but can't be started from the
1413 xawtv's frontend dialog box.
1414 * remote display fixes (should work now if server and client
1415 have different bytesex).
1416 * Long options (thanks to Takashi Oe <toe@unlinfo.unl.edu>).
1417 * "xawtv --help" prints all options.
1418
1419
1420 2.29 => 2.30
1421 ============
1422
1423 * much improved v4l2 support, it should be useable now. Only
1424 grabdisplay is supported so far, overlay-only drivers will not
1425 work (yet).
1426 * Some internal cleanups/rewrites, removed some hardcoded bttv
1427 stuff. Probably introduced a few new bugs...
1428 * pinned down the "segfault-on-exit" bug, credits to Electric Fence.
1429 * added the "webcam" tool (does capture, annotate, jpeg-compress,
1430 ftp-upload)
1431 * added showriff, for those who want to look into *.wav and *.avi
1432 files.
1433 * bttv: msp3400 + tuner compile problems due to 2.1.127 changes
1434 fixed.
1435
1436
1437 2.28 => 2.29
1438 ============
1439
1440 * rpm spec file fixes
1441 * minor msp3400 changes (for miro)
1442 * automatically generated diff's against Ralph's bttv version.
1443 * fixed the broken channel list length define (that
1444 only-79-ntsc-channels bug)
1445 * If there is a configuration problem, xawtv will disable overlay
1446 and continue instead of exiting.
1447 * remote display works. Don't try this unless you have a _real_
1448 fast network or your own home network. Otherwise the network
1449 admin will ask what you are doing within five minutes...
1450 * started frontend dialog for streamer (Ctrl-S). Does already work,
1451 but needs some more options to be really useful.
1452 * started v4l2 support.
1453
1454
1455 2.27 => 2.28
1456 ============
1457
1458 * The 'V' key toggles capture on/off now. If capture is switched
1459 off, xawtv shows a static image.
1460 * Added options to set TV norm and input to streamer. Webcam
1461 cronjobs don't need set-tv any more :-)
1462 * Picked up some patches from video4linux@phunk.org for the bttv
1463 driver. The Miro PCTV pro might work in stereo, SECAM should work
1464 again.
1465 * Added autodetect for the Miro pro (untested).
1466
1467 * RPMified xawtv, thx to Mark Cooke <mpc@star.sr.bham.ac.uk> for the
1468 initial spec file.
1469 No, I'm not going to upload RPM's, neither source nor binaries.
1470 I'll upload the spec file, so you can easily build your own RPM's.
1471
1472 * removed the experimental driver from the package, it will be
1473 available separate.
1474 * precompiled binaries are no longer included.
1475
1476
1477 2.26 => 2.27
1478 ============
1479
1480 * fixed the msp34xx problem with new (bt878) Hauppauge boards.
1481
1482
1483 2.25 => 2.26
1484 ============
1485
1486 * more driver PLL fixes
1487 * added Hauppauge tuner autodetect (using eeprom)
1488 * xawtv saves picture settings in channel switch now.
1489
1490
1491 2.24 => 2.25
1492 ============
1493
1494 * Moved E2-E4 to E1-E3 by mistake in 2.22. Reverted this.
1495 * radio is a nice curses application now.
1496 * The driver should work again for PAL.
1497
1498
1499 2.23 => 2.24
1500 ============
1501
1502 * v4l-conf changes
1503 * bugfixes in config file parser and channel editor.
1504
1505
1506 2.22 => 2.23
1507 ============
1508
1509 * bugfix: SExx channels did not work.
1510 (thanks to Michael Vogt <M.Vogt@ping.de>)
1511 * documentation updates.
1512 * increased the AUDIO_MUTE_DELAY value in bttv.c, this should
1513 reduce the channel-switch noise.
1514 * bttv: added changes from patch-2.1.120
1515
1516
1517 2.21 => 2.22
1518 ============
1519
1520 * up to date with bttv 0.5.15
1521 * fbtv fixes and improvements (console switching works again)
1522 * streamer has a new switch to enable audio recording (off by
1523 default).
1524 * Channels renamed again: S1 .. S20 is SE1 .. SE20 now. This
1525 should be correct now. Reordered them (sorted by frequency
1526 now).
1527 * Channels map for east europe (PAL D/K) added.
1528 * channel editor bugfixes
1529
1530
1531 2.20 => 2.21
1532 ============
1533
1534 * Updated driver to 0.5.14, this one is NOT backward compatible older
1535 versions.
1536 * Updated Simon's i2c code.
1537 * Updated the programs too.
1538 * added avi recording to streamer.
1539
1540
1541 2.19 => 2.20
1542 ============
1543
1544 * Makefile fixes
1545 * Matrox off-by-1024 workaround improved.
1546 * fbtv fixes, moved generic fb stuff to a separate file.
1547 * grab-one is gone, there is streamer now. This one can
1548 do streaming capture (and of cource still grab single
1549 frames as special case). JPEG support added.
1550
1551 2.18 => 2.19
1552 ============
1553
1554 * added man-pages for set-tv and fbtv
1555 * zapped SuSE and installed RH51, the included precompiled binaries
1556 are glibc now.
1557 * Unlocked the channel editor (overwrites the old config file now),
1558 it is in the man-page now and has the hotkey 'E'. Be carefull, it
1559 will kill all comments in the config file!
1560
1561
1562 2.17 => 2.18
1563 ============
1564
1565 * added xawtv-remote ("remote control" for xawtv)
1566 * hopefully completed channel list editor. But still in debugging
1567 mode, it writes the config file to $HOME/.xawtv.out
1568
1569
1570 2.17 => 2.18
1571 ============
1572
1573 * showstopper fixed: xawtv segfaults if there are channels without
1574 hotkeys in your $HOME/.xawtv (thanks to
1575 Enrico Scholz <enrico.scholz@wirtschaft.tu-chemnitz.de>)
1576 * v4l-conf fixed (was broken again for non-DGA Servers line AccelX)
1577
1578
1579 2.16 => 2.17
1580 ============
1581
1582 * started channel list editor (Ctrl-L for now, will be changed
1583 later). Not completed, you can't save your changes yet.
1584 * driver updates
1585 * added session management to kradio. Sort of. The KDE session
1586 management functions have a major design bug, probably this works
1587 with the bug-compatible kwm only :-(
1588 * updates README
1589 * wrote Programming-FAQ
1590 * And probably a few other changes I forgot about...
1591
1592
1593 2.15 => 2.16
1594 ============
1595
1596 * fixed v4l-conf, handles 15bpp now
1597 * configure changes: try "./configure --help", there are some
1598 --enable-foo/--disable-foo options now (default for them is
1599 enabled).
1600 * moved some common code to separate source files.
1601 * a few small driver fixes.
1602 * added the -c switch to grab-one
1603
1604
1605 2.14 => 2.15
1606 ============
1607
1608 * as allways, a few bug-fixes
1609 * added the -c switch to set-tv
1610 * i2c problems with hauppauge cards hopefully fixed now. Check
1611 bttv driver's Makefile, the code disabled by default (we don't
1612 know what happens with other boards...)
1613 * msp3400 uses soundcore instead of sound module (no oss needed
1614 any more, tnx to Thomas Sailer <sailer@ife.ee.ethz.ch>)
1615
1616
1617 2.13 => 2.14
1618 ============
1619
1620 * station scan added (Ctrl-Up)
1621 * onscreen display in fullscreen mode
1622 * misc small enhancements.
1623 * The '-c n' switch is gone, you can start xawtv with the station name
1624 on the command line instead ("xawtv cnn" for example, like it already
1625 works for fbtv and set-tv).
1626 * Added a new '-c' switch, this is the video device now. Added this
1627 one for xawtv and fbtv, changed from '-v' to '-c' for v4l-conf.
1628 * removed vtx subdirectory. The driver is now in the 2.1.x tree. And
1629 for 2.0.x it is useless anyway, it does'nt compile...
1630
1631
1632 2.12 => 2.13
1633 ============
1634
1635 * Fixed Makefile bugs.
1636 * switched to the new device files: s|/dev/bttv|/dev/video|
1637 MAKEDEV in bttv/driver is updated
1638 * Tried to catch that VidMode problem by version check:
1639 #define XXX_VERSION (from xf86vmstr.h) against server's QueryVersion
1640 results. If this still does'nt work: remember, there is the '-x'
1641 switch to workaround this...
1642 * Fast channel scan (Ctrl-Z)
1643
1644
1645 2.11 => 2.12
1646 ============
1647
1648 * added support for 8 bit Servers: Run the Server with StaticGray
1649 visual (-cc 0x27 for XFree) -- and you should get a b/w TV picture.
1650 * fixed a few configure-script and #ifdef bugs
1651 * modified channel maps again -- hope I got the european map is ok now.
1652 there is only one map: pal-europe. This one should work for both
1653 cable and broadcast.
1654 * driver changes (capture code -- the SYNC ioctl takes the frame number
1655 as argument now)
1656
1657
1658 2.10 => 2.11
1659 ============
1660
1661 * bugfix: xawtv used to ignore "fine = ???" in the config file.
1662 * added grab-one, a small tool to grab single, full-sized images.
1663 Use the "-h" option for a short description.
1664 * added channel window (try the 'C' key).
1665 * Added "zap" mode: does channel hopping (tune in every station a
1666 few seconds).
1667 * added fbtv (for framebuffer devices).
1668
1669
1670 2.09 => 2.10
1671 ============
1672
1673 * glibc compile fixes (hopefully, have still libc5...)
1674 * updated driver to bttv-0.5.8
1675 * updated applications according to the grabbing changes in the
1676 bttv driver
1677 * catched a bug in the config parser (was confused by spaces at
1678 end-of-line)
1679
1680
1681 2.08 => 2.09
1682 ============
1683
1684 * 15 bit HiColor works now (fixed bttv driver and v4l-conf)
1685 * renamed some frequency tables to make the names more consistent
1686 you might have to fix the freqtab= setting in $HOME/.xawtv
1687 again...
1688 * Added stereo support to the msp3400 volume mixer.
1689 * Improved non-overlayed displaying (called grabdisplay in xawtv).
1690 Not rock-solid yet, driver is'nt stable enouth wrt grabbing.
1691
1692 BTW: if you get "ioctl VIDIOCMCAPTURE: Try again" on stderr, it
1693 just means that the bttv driver has no signal (i.e. no station
1694 tuned in, wrong TV norm, something like that...).
1695
1696 * the doc subdirectory of the bttv distribution is included now.
1697 * updated the driver to bttv-0.5.7
1698
1699
1700 2.07 => 2.08
1701 ============
1702
1703 * Ha! Found a complete (?) frequency table on the web, using this
1704 one now (and a complete different channel-to-freqency mapping
1705 method).
1706 Expect a few new bugs and tuning problems -- pointers to frequency
1707 lists are welcome. Check channels.h for details.
1708 The names of the freqency mappings have changed, you have to
1709 adopt $HOME/.xawtv
1710
1711 * fixed a bug in the msp3400 module (system hangs on control
1712 thread kill)
1713 * With the 2.1.x modular sound driver, the msp3400 module registers
1714 as mixer device. This allows to control volume, bass and treble with
1715 a mixer application of your choice.
1716 * the config file parser prints more detailed error messages and
1717 does not exit on errors.
1718 * Added a workaround for buggy (wrt static gravity) Window managers,
1719 see manpage (wm-off-by= ...)
1720 * Started non-overlay displaying (try Shift-ESC). Not completed, not
1721 stable yet.
1722 * Changed v4l-conf handling: It is installed suid-root now and called
1723 by xawtv.
1724
1725
1726 2.06 => 2.07
1727 ============
1728
1729 * Two hours after releasing 2.06 I noticed that the driver did'nt
1730 compile with 2.0.33 :-(
1731
1732
1733 2.05 => 2.06
1734 ============
1735
1736 * You can grab both full size and window size now (hold down Ctrl
1737 for window size).
1738 * Merged some of the latest vger CVS changes to bttv-0.5.6 to keep
1739 both versions in sync (at least the ioctl interface). The included
1740 driver version supports currently both the new
1741 VIDIOCMCAPTURE+VIDIOCSYNC and old BTTV_GRAB+BTTV_SYNC. xawtv uses
1742 the new ones.
1743 The minor numbers for vbi have changed (from 32 to 224)
1744 * hacked msp3400 stereo handling, it does permanent monitoring now
1745 and should handle mono/stereo/bilang switches by the TV station
1746 correctly.
1747
1748
1749 2.04 => 2.05
1750 ============
1751
1752 * Started writing a Changes file
1753 * fixed a quite stupid getopt bug
1754 * ditched support for the old-style bttv interface.
1755 * The screen saver is turned off now in fullscreen mode
1756 * xawtv can switch video modes now (for fullscreen mode). There is
1757 a new config file entry for this, check the manpage.
1758 * fixed configure script (check for c++ only if required)
1759
1760 * For the bleeding edge people:
1761
1762 Added some code for the new VIDIOCMCAPTURE and VIDIOCSYNC ioctl's
1763 (new video4linux code in the vger CVS tree) as compile time
1764 option. The configure script should detect the new version and
1765 use the kernel driver then.
1766
1767 The ioctl's are'n really new, the are basically slightly modified
1768 BTTV_GRAB and BTTV_SYNC. Well, this change breaks _again_ grabbing
1769 applications, but now there is a standardized interface for
1770 mmap-based grabbing available.
