 20 
 21  
 22 3.87 => 3.88
 23 ============

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

 49 
 50 
 51 3.83 => 3.84
 52 ============

 55 
 56 
 57 3.83 => 3.84

 61    while being at it.
 62  * Multimedia keyboard support.
 63  * commented alsa-mixer plugin (segfaults for me).
 64 
 65 
 66 3.82 => 3.83
 67 ============
 68 
 69  * compile fixes.
 70  * propwatch updates.
 71  * added config option to disable _NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN support.
 72  * added config option to move the OSD (Alex Ibrado <alex@ibrado.com>).
 73  * minor radio tweaks (DAVID BALAZIC <david.balazic@uni-mb.si>).
 74 
 75 
 76 3.81 => 3.82
 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

 92  * even more compile fixes.
 93  * fixed some core dumps (freqtab changes init bugs in fbtv + ttv).
 94  * new config option for webcam (times=, much like once).
 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
113    using this.
114 
115 
116 3.77 => 3.78
117 ============
118 
119  * build fixes.
120  * new v4l2 module fixes.
121 
122 
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>).
306  * ssh support for webcam.
307 
308 
309 3.65 => 3.66
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.

346  * fixed a segfault in fbtv.
347 
348 
349 3.62 => 3.63
350 ============
351 
352  * tried to reduce the channel switch delay a bit.
353  * motv: italian translations (Mij <mij@fastwebnet.it>).
354  * wrote README.translate
355  * wrote some code to control xawtv/motv/fbtv via alsa midi.
356  * moved lirc code to xt.c, added lirc support to motv.
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.

376    scanner (Gunther Mayer <Gunther.Mayer@t-online.de>).
377  * added frequency table for argentina
378    ("KciNicK M. M." <kcinick@ciudad.com.ar>).
379  * MIT-SHM support is no longer a compile time option.
380  * Fixed MIT-SHM bug in xv.c

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).

419    also added a switch to set the sample rate and fixed some minor
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>).

451  * updated / reorganized the manual pages.
452  * wrote a manual page for motv.
453  * lots of motv improvements.
454  * streamer also accepts hh:mm:ss for -t now (W. Michael Petullo).
455  * added color space conversion functions for yuv 420 planar
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.

486  * s|/dev/video|/dev/video0|, also moved stuff to a single file.
487  * ttv fixes, made ttv use the conversion functions.
488 
489 
490 3.51 => 3.52
491 ============
492 
493  * Added ttv -- a aalib based tv viewer.
494  * wrote some docs for libng.
495  * optimized the tracking code for the window clipping.
496  * more motif code / fixes.
497  * added support for planar yuv (grabdisplay via Xvideo).
498  * bytesex fixes for showriff.
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

518  * minor fix in subtitles script.
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

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.
