+[b]Version 0.6.8[/b]:
+
+(2009-07-14)
+ * Check for new channels first in ~/.mplayer/channels.conf.ter. Use
+ channels.conf if channels.conf.ter is not found.
+ * Removed the "Jump..." item from the tv and radio menus. The actions
+ are still available.
+ * (Playlist) Fix: don't try to a load pls file if the file doesn't exist.
+ Prevents QSettings to create subdirectories pointing to that file.
+ * Updated the texts of the OSD options.
+
+(2009-07-13)
+ * Moved the option "Visualize motion vectors" from menu Options to menu
+ Video.
+
+(2009-07-12)
+ * Fixed error "302 - Moved temporarily" when connecting to opensubtitles.org.
+
+(2009-07-09)
+ * Added the new option "Jump" to the TV and radio menus. It displays a dialog
+ which allows the user to enter the number of the channel to open.
+
+(2009-07-07)
+ * Applied patch numbered_recent_files.diff by greenest
+ (greenest at users.sourceforge.net). It adds numbers in front of the recent
+ files, and a key accelerator.
+
+(2009-07-06)
+ * Save the last TV channel, which will be used when "dvb://" or "tv://" is
+ opened.
+
+(2009-07-05)
+ * (Linux) vdpau doesn't allow to use any video filter (mplayer would crash)
+ so now smplayer will clear the filter list if vdpau is used.
+ * New option for smplayer.ini (section [playlist]): automatically_play_next.
+ If set to false the playlist won't play the next item when the current one
+ finishes.
+
+(2009-07-04)
+ * The settings of TV channels are saved on ~/.config/smplayer/smplayer_tv.ini.
+
+(2009-07-02)
+ * Added a new section in the preferences dialog: TV and radio.
+
+(2009-06-30)
+ * Apply patch play_action_disabled_while_playing.diff by Francesco Cosoleto.
+ (cosoleto at users.sourceforge.net). It disables the play action while
+ playing.
+ * (Fix) Now the command line option -sub passes the subtitle file to another
+ running instance.
+
+(2009-06-29)
+ * Added actions to select the previous and next tv channels, and also for
+ previous and next radio. Assigned by default to the keys L and H (for TV)
+ and Shift+L and Shift+H for radio.
+
+(2009-06-28)
+ * Changing chapters works again with mplayer > svn r29407 (0-based).
+ For DVDs, it only works if cache = 0.
+ * Added two options for smplayer.ini (section [tv]):
+ check_channels_conf_on_startup and initial_tv_deinterlace.
+
+(2009-06-27)
+ * The tv and radio submenus can be added to the toolbars (tv_menu and
+ radio_menu).
+
+(2009-06-25)
+ * New menus Open->TV and Open->Radio. The items for those menus are taken from
+ ~/.mplayer/channels.conf. The services with video and audio pid are added
+ to the TV menu, those with audio pid are added to the radio menu. The
+ rest are discarded. The file channels.conf is rescanned on every startup
+ and will add new channels to the menus.
+ Note: the file channels.conf is not read at all on Windows (mplayer lacks
+ dvb support on Windows).
+ * The list of channels can be edited.
+
+(2009-06-23)
+ * Initial support for TV (dvb:// and tv://):
+ - You can open dvb channels through commandline (smplayer
+ dvb://CHANNEL_NAME). It may also work with tv:// but it's untested.
+ - There's an option under Preferences->Performance to set the cache for TV.
+ - The view info and properties dialog recognizes dvb:// and tv:// and
+ display a TV icon for them.
+
+(2009-06-21)
+ * Added the new menu Program under the Browse menu. It allows to change
+ the program track for ts files. Known issue: when a program changes, the
+ video and audio track will probably change too but the video and audio menus
+ doesn't show that change.
+ * The OSD is not shown until 3 seconds after the video started to play. This
+ avoid a lot of messages being printed on the OSD at startup.
+
+(2009-06-12)
+ * Applied (with a few changes) the patch wheelfunctionpatch4.txt by
+ Stivo (helifan at users.sourceforge.net).
+ It adds the possibility to change the function of the mouse wheel with
+ a mouse click.
+
+(2009-06-02)
+ * (Windows) smplayer should recognize now Windows 7, if using Qt 4.5.1
+ (untested).
+ * (Windows, portable version) The default screenshot directory is
+ ./screenshots, and the default additional option for mplayer is
+ -nofontconfig. This way it's not necessary to supply a customized
+ smplayer.ini in the portable package.
+ * Recognize the multithreaded mplayer build from kovensky (checks for
+ 'MPlayer GIT*'). It assumes it's version 1.0rc3.
+
+(2009-05-24)
+ * Bugfix: now the color tags from the mplayer output are really removed
+ (linux only).
+
+(2009-05-21)
+ * Two new options for the command line have been added: -pos and -size. Both
+ options expect two arguments. -pos specifies the coordinates (x, y) where
+ the main window will be displayed, -size specifies the size (width, height).
+ If any of the values is invalid, the option will be silently ignored.
+
+(2009-05-18)
+ * New option in the subtitle menu: "subtitle visibility". If the option
+ is checked (default) subtitles are visible, otherwise the subtitles won't
+ appear in the screen. This is a global option.
+ * In the subtitle initialization function, try to find the external subtitle
+ using its filename, and not assuming that it's always the last one.
+ It should make the -sub command line option to work as expected.
+
+(2009-05-11)
+ * Added the Estonian translation, by olav mägi <olav.magi@hotmail.com>
+ * The option "Audio/video auto synchronization" has been moved from
+ Preferences -> Performance to Preferences -> General -> Audio.
+ * Added the new option "A-V sync correction" in Preferences -> General ->
+ Audio (for the mplayer option -mc).
+
+(2009-05-05)
+ * New option for smplayer.ini: row_spacing (in the [playlist] section). It
+ specifies the spacing between rows in the playlist. If the value is -1
+ the row height is not changed.
+
+(2009-05-04)
+ * Added an option in Preferences -> Advanced -> Logs to make the mplayer logs
+ more verbose (passes -v to mplayer).
+
+(2009-05-01)
+ * Applied patch coreavc.patch by Shurygin Egor <qdiesel@users.sourceforge.net>
+ It adds a checkbox in performance settings to switch coreavc usage.
+ When checked passes to mplayer "-vc coreavc," unless vdpau video driver is
+ used and any other video codec has been set explicitly.
+
+(2009-04-30)
+ * Bugfix: hide the mouse cursor when it's over the black borders.
+
+(2009-04-29)
+ * (Windows) New options for smplayer.ini: turn_screensaver_off (false by
+ default) and avoid_screensaver (true by default). The option
+ disable_screensaver won't be used on windows anymore.
+ turn_screensaver_off disables the screensaver from the control panel,
+ while avoid_screensaver prevents the screensaver to appear when windows
+ requests for it in an event.
+ * Added checkboxes in preferences->general->video to allow to configure
+ the avoid_screensaver and turn_screensaver_off options.
+
+(2009-04-24)
+ * Deleted the option "Change volume just before playing" (Preferences ->
+ General -> Audio). That option had sense when a patch was required for the
+ -volume option, but not now.
+ Now it will just use -volume if using mplayer >= SVN r27872.
+ * Deleted the option "Change volume on every file" (Preferences ->
+ General -> Audio). It did more or less the same now it does the "Global
+ volume" option.
+ * Deleted the "Default volume" slider in (Preferences -> General -> Audio).
+ With time it lost its original meaning. It's still possible to configure
+ the default volume in smplayer.ini.
+
+(2009-04-23)
+ * Started to implement the possibility to customize the options for the
+ audio/video filters passed to mplayer (in the section [filter_options]
+ in smplayer.ini).
+ Currently 3 filters can be customized: noise, volnorm and deblock.
+ BTW, the volnorm filter has changed its default value from 2 to 1.
+
+(2009-04-20)
+ * (Experimental) Added the new option "Global volume" (Preferences -> General
+ -> Audio). If the option is checked, the volume and mute are global
+ options. If not checked, the volume and mute options are independent for
+ each file.
+ Known issues: the default value is 50, it doesn't honor the "default volume"
+ setting. On the other hand, the option "change volume before playing" is
+ honored even if that option is shown disabled when the "global volume" is
+ checked.
+
+(2009-04-18)
+ * Added the Vietnamese translation, by Lê Xuân Thảo <thaolx@gmail.com>.
+ * Display the current playback speed in the status bar when it changes.
+ * Added support for the mplayer tags DVDNAV_TITLE_IS_MENU and
+ DVDNAV_TITLE_IS_MOVIE added in mplayer svn r29156.
+ It just simply stops sending the set_mouse_pos slave command if not in a
+ dvd menu.
+
+(2009-04-16)
+ * (Bugfix) Don't stop the file if already stopped when closing smplayer
+ to prevent that the current position would reset to 0.
+
+(2009-04-15)
+ * Added two aspect ratios: 3:2 and 14:10.
+ * The next_aspect action changes the aspect ratio in the right order.
+
+(2009-04-07)
+ * Added an option in preferences to turn on/off the screenshot feature.
+ So no need now to clear the screenshot path to disable it.
+
+(2009-04-06)
+ * Pass to mplayer "-vc ffh264vdpau,ffmpeg12vdpau,ffwmv3vdpau,ffvc1vdpau," if
+ using vdpau as video driver and not other video codec has been set.
+ (Untested)
+
+(2009-04-02)
+ * Now the mouse cursor is hidden only when playing.
+
+(2009-04-01)
+ * (Fix) The preferences dialog sets the default video driver to "direct3d,"
+ if using Windows Vista.
+
+(2009-03-26)
+ * Added ogv to the list of extensions (for video).
+
+(2009-03-25)
+ * (Linux) Using -input nodefault-bindings:conf=/dev/null to disable the
+ mplayer keys if using mplayer >= SVN r29058.
+
+(2009-03-23)
+ * (Experimental) Now some of the submenus can be added to the toolbars
+ (actions names: speed_menu, videotrack_menu, screen_menu, videosize_menu,
+ panscan_menu, aspect_menu, deinterlace_menu, videofilter_menu, rotate_menu,
+ ontop_menu, audiotrack_menu, audiofilter_menu, audiochannels_menu,
+ stereomode_menu, subtitlestrack_menu, titles_menu, chapters_menu,
+ angles_menu, osd_menu).
+
+(2009-03-22)
+ * Added an icon for the next_aspect action. Contributed by TT
+ (http://smplayer.berlios.de/forums/viewtopic.php?id=1104).
+
+(2009-03-20)
+ * The subtitle and audio delay actions keep now the file paused. They also
+ display the current value in the status bar.
+
+(2009-03-19)
+ * Added some icons for: Help -> Tips, Video -> Preview, Video -> Start/stop
+ taking screenshots, Subtitles -> Find subtitles on opensubtitles.org and
+ updated the Qt logo (taken from the Qt sources).
+
+(2009-03-18)
+ * (Videopreview) Ctrl+H toggles displaying the info about the video.
+ * Don't use "set_property switch_video" when using the nsv demuxer. It makes
+ mplayer stop displaying the video after a few seconds.
+ * Added a new option: Video -> Start/stop taking screenshots (of each frame)
+ assigned by default to "Shift+D" (the icon for this action: screenshots.png)
+ When this option is selected, a screenshot will be taken (and saved in
+ png format to the screenshot folder) for each frame. Select the option
+ again to stop taking screenshots.
+
+(2009-03-16)
+ * (Windows) Now by default the combos in Preferences -> Drives will show all
+ drives, not only CD/DVD devices, as it has been reported that checking
+ for those devices can be slow if there are network drives. Now there's
+ a button "Scan for CD/DVD devices" to force the detection of CD/DVD devices.
+
+(2009-03-12)
+ * Deleted the obsolete translations from smplayer_gl.ts (caused lrelease
+ to fail with Qt 4.5.0).
+
+(2009-03-11)
+ * Fixed some build problems that could make the installation fail, trying to
+ recompile everything again with qt3 because QMAKE can be undefined during
+ make install.
+
+
+[b]Version 0.6.7[/b]:
+
+(2009-03-06)
+ * The media type icons (type_audio.png, type_dvd.png, type_url.png,
+ type_video.png, type_cdda.png, type_unknown.png and type_vcd.png) which
+ appear in the info window can now be overridden by the icon themes.
+
+(2009-03-05)
+ * (Playlist) Try to figure out if a file is local (when the file is added
+ to the playlist) not using QFile::exists, as it seems it can be slow
+ with remote files. It might fix bug #2586395, although I can't test.
+
+(2009-02-19)
+ * Using software volume by default.
+
+(2009-02-17)
+ * Using multiple ini files to store the file settings by default now.
+
+(2009-02-15)
+ * Added preliminary support for the upcoming mplayer 1.0rc3.
+
+(2009-02-09)
+ * (ASS subtitles) The outline and shadow options now accept values with
+ decimals.
+
+(2009-02-04)
+ * Now the default value for the "correct pts" option is auto.
+
+(2009-01-31)
+ * (Videopreview) Added a new option to remember the last folder used for
+ saving the preview image. If not checked, it will suggest the same
+ folder of the video to save the image.
+ * New action toggle_stay_on_top, which toggles between "stay on top always"
+ and "stay on top never". If "stay on top while playing" is enabled, this
+ action does nothing.
+
+(2009-01-29)
+ * Added two options (in the audio and subtitle menus) to allow the user to
+ enter the audio and subtitle delay (in milliseconds).
+
+(2009-01-28)
+ * Added names for the rest of dvdnav actions.
+ * The dvdnav_mouse action is assigned to the left mouse button by default.
+ * Added all dvdnav actions to the list of actions that can be selected with
+ the mouse buttons.
+
+(2009-01-27)
+ * Fix: now spaces in arguments for mplayer (in Preferences->Advanced and
+ Options->View info and properties) are respected if they are between
+ quotes. Now for instance this will work as expected:
+ -heartbeat-cmd "gnome-screensaver-command -p &"
+ * Fix: the playlist is not allowed to be docked in fullscreen mode.
+
+(2009-01-26)
+ * (Playlist) When a file is added to the playlist, if it was already in
+ the list, it's moved to the end of the list.
+
+(2009-01-24)
+ * (Videopreview) Add jpg to the "extract frame as" combobox only if the
+ jpg format is available for reading.
+ * The direct3d video output is now the default for Windows Vista (untested).
+
+(2009-01-18)
+ * The dvdnav actions are now only enabled when playing a dvd (using dvdnav).
+
+(2009-01-17)
+ * Now the mplayer process is not restarted when loading an external subtitle
+ file (using the sub_load slave command), except for idx/sub subtitles.
+
+(2009-01-15)
+ * (Windows) Now the screensaver is allowed to turn on if the file is
+ paused or it's an audio file.
+ * The "it's a playlist" option in the Open URL dialog is automatically
+ checked if the url ends with ".ram", ".asx" or ".m3u" (and unchecked if
+ it ends with another extension).
+
+(2009-01-14)
+ * New option for the config file: user_forced_ass_style under the
+ [subtitles] section. If the value is not an empty string, it will be
+ passed to mplayer for the -ass-force-style option, overriding the string
+ generated automatically by smplayer.
+ * Added a "Customize" button in the SSA/ASS section in preferences to
+ allow the user to customize the SSA/ASS style which will be passed to
+ mplayer with the -ass-force-style option.
+
+(2009-01-12)
+ * (Fix) When opening an iso file, start to play from the dvd menu instead
+ of title 1.
+ * Added a new option to select the shadow color for ass subtitles.
+
+(2009-01-11)
+ * Now it's possible to play a dvd with menus from command line
+ (smplayer dvdnav://) or by selecting "dvdnav://" from the recents menu.
+ It'll even work if the option "Enable DVD menus" is not checked.
+ * Now the highlighted option in the DVD menu changes when the mouse is
+ moved.
+
+(2009-01-10)
+ * Fixed the initialization of the Angles menu when using dvdnav.
+ * Added to the Browse menu the options 'DVD menu' and 'DVD previous menu'.
+
+(2009-01-09)
+ * Now the length of the title is updated when playing a dvd using dvdnav.
+
+(2009-01-08)
+ * (Linux) Added the option "Enable DVD menus" in Preferences->Drives. If
+ this option is checked, when you select "DVD from drive" or "DVD from
+ folder" under the Open menu, the DVD will be played using dvdnav (including
+ menus).
+ Note: this is experimental, there are still a lot of things to be fixed.
+ Use at own your own risk.
+
+(2009-01-05)
+ * Added an option in Preferences->Subtitles to apply the ass style defined by
+ the user to ass subtitles (overriding the style defined in the ass file).
+
+(2009-01-04)
+ * Now the dvd names follow the same scheme as mplayer:
+ dvd://title/device (where device can also be a folder or iso file).
+ Internally it tries to avoid the use of the string "dvd:" so it could
+ be easy to add support for dvdnav:
+
+(2008-12-31)
+ * Now the correct pts option can have a value of "auto". In this case
+ neither -correct-pts nor -nocorrect-pts are passed to mplayer, the demuxer
+ will decide. Should fix bug #2479566.
+ * The proxy settings have been moved to a config dialog inside the find
+ subtitles window.
+
+
+[b]Version 0.6.6[/b]:
+
+(2008-12-28)
+ * (Linux) Now the options in the dvd menus can be selected with the mouse.
+ To do so, select "Activate option in DVD menus" for the left mouse button
+ in Preferences -> Keyboard and mouse.
+ * Implemented a different way to select the initial audio track (or restore
+ the old one after a restart).
+ * (Experimental) New code to show/hide the mouse cursor in the video window.
+
+(2008-12-27)
+ * (Linux) Added some actions to control the dvdnav buttons.
+
+(2008-12-26)
+ * The language filter in the find subtitles dialog is now saved to the ini
+ file.
+ * New option for smplayer.ini: include_lang_on_filename (section
+ [findsubtitles]). If set to true (the default) the language code is
+ appended to the subtitle filename (e.g. video.avi => video_es.srt).
+ Otherwise the language code is not appended (video.avi => video.srt).
+
+(2008-12-24)
+ * Implemented a different way to select the initial subtitle track (or restore
+ the old one after a restart). Still needs some testing.
+
+(2008-12-23)
+ * Now smplayer tries to update the subtitle tracks if they change during
+ playback. This makes subtitles work if using dvdnav, and seems to fix
+ a problem when selecting the initial track
+ (see http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2422574&group_id=185512&atid=913573)
+ This is the kind of changes that can break something or produce an
+ unexpected behaviour...
+
+(2008-12-20)
+ * Applied with a few changes the patch customStyleAction.patch by
+ matt <matt@endboss.org>. It adds a few more functions for the widgetactions,
+ like to set a custom style.
+ * Added a new gui (mpcgui, a media player classic clone) developed by
+ Matthias Petri <matt@endboss.org>
+
+(2008-12-19)
+ * Applied (with a few changes) a patch by matt <matt@endboss.org>.
+ This patch adds 3 modes for the stay on top option: always, never and
+ while playing.
+
+(2008-12-12)
+ * Added a new option Video->Preview. This option creates a preview
+ (thumbnails) of the selected video. There are options to choose the
+ number of columns, rows, maximum width of the generated image...
+ Finally the preview can be saved (as jpg or png).
+ Note: the video preview is not finished yet.
+
+(2008-12-07)
+ * (Experimental) Increased the resolution of the seekbar. Previously
+ a step of the seekbar (in a 90 minute movie) was equal to 54 seconds.
+ Now it's equal to 5.4 seconds. As there's usually an I-frame about 10
+ seconds (and mplayer always jumps to an I-frame) I think that's enough.
+
+(2008-12-06)
+ * Bug #2399200: the downloaded subtitle filename was wrong if the video
+ filename contained a dot in the name (example: video.hdtv.avi created a
+ video_es.srt file instead of video.hdtv_es.avi). This is now fixed.
+
+(2008-12-03)
+ * Now the logs in the mplayer/smplayer log windows update in realtime.
+ * The "MPlayer language" tab in the Advanced section in preferences has
+ been removed. It's not necessary anymore, although if you've got a
+ mplayer which prints the output texts in a non-english language you'll need
+ at least MPlayer SVN r28066.
+ * Added two new options: "Auto zoom for 16:9" and "Auto zoom for 2.35:1".
+ Those options zoom the image assuming the aspect ratio of the video image
+ is the one specified in the option, even if that's not the actual aspect
+ ratio. Useful for videos which include black borders (letterbox) in the
+ image, where the normal "Auto zoom" option will fail.
+
+(2008-11-30)
+ * New option for smplayer.ini: actions_to_run ([advanced] section).
+ Specifies a list of actions (separated by spaces) which will be run every
+ time a file is loaded. For instance "actions_to_run=auto_zoom compact true"
+ will run the auto_zoom action and set the gui to compact mode. If the
+ commandline option -actions is used too, the actions from commandline
+ will be added to the end of the list.
+ There's a limitation: the actions will be run only when a file is opened
+ and not when the mplayer process is restarted (e.g. you select an option in
+ the menus which requires to restart mplayer, like a video or audio filter).
+ Note that allowing to run the actions after a restart of mplayer could
+ lead to infinite recursion if any of the actions in the list needs to
+ restart mplayer.
+ * Added a field in Preferences->Advanced to enter the list of actions to
+ be run every time a file is opened.
+
+(2008-11-27)
+ * Added an option in Preferences->General to change the method to store
+ the file settings.
+ * (Experimental) Added the new option Video->Pan&scan->Auto zoom. It
+ calculates the zoom factor so you can't see any black borders.
+
+(2008-11-26)
+ * Implemented a new (and optional) method to save the file settings.
+ This method uses an ini file per each played file (instead of using only
+ one big ini file for all of them).
+
+ The files are saved under the subdirectory "file_settings" in the config
+ directory (usually $HOME/.config/smplayer/). As filename it uses a hash,
+ and it's stored on a subdirectory starting with the first letter of the
+ filename.
+
+ For example:
+ $HOME/.config/smplayer/file_settings/d/dd017f9d6706a75f.ini
+ $HOME/.config/smplayer/file_settings/9/95e963e59826699d.ini
+
+ * Added a new option for smplayer.ini: file_settings_method.
+ This option allows to select the method to be used for the file settings.
+ Possible values: normal and hash.
+
+ normal = uses one file (smplayer_files.ini) to store the file settings of
+ all played files. This is cleaner as you only have one file for all files'
+ settings but it could be slow if there are info for many many files in it.
+
+ hash = uses one ini file per each played file. This could be much faster if
+ you have info for many files, but you'll end up with many ini files and
+ subdirectories.
+
+(2008-11-24)
+ * Added a new option in Preferences->Video: add black borders on fullscreen.
+ If this option is enabled, black borders will be added to the image in
+ fullscreen mode. This allows subtitles to be displayed on the black borders.
+
+(2008-11-23)
+ * Added a history to the open URL dialog. Based on a patch by Francesco
+ Cosoleto.
+ Not finished yet. Missing options to clear the history or set the maximum
+ number of items.
+ * Added a new option for smplayer.ini: urls\max_items (section [history]).
+ It specifies the maximum number of items for the open URL history.
+ By default, 10. Set it to 0 to disable the history.
+
+(2008-11-20)
+ * The "Recents" code has been reorganized. Also the list of recent files
+ is now saved in a different place in smplayer.ini, in section [history].
+
+(2008-11-19)
+ * When using SSA/ASS, use the same font for OSD. Otherwise the OSD
+ might not be visible.
+
+(2008-11-18)
+ * Added the possibility to select the type of proxy to be used: Http or
+ Socks5. (More info: http://doc.trolltech.com/4.3/qnetworkproxy.html)
+
+(2008-11-17)
+ * Added a new option in Preferences->Subtitle: Freetype support. Disabling
+ that option could make smplayer work with a mplayer compiled without
+ freetype support. But subtitles may not work at all!
+
+(2008-11-16)
+ * The mini gui can now also remember the position and size of the window.
+ * (Linux) Now all devices which match with dvd*, cdrom*, cdrw*, sr*
+ and cdrecorder* are added to the comboboxes in Preferences->Drives.
+
+(2008-11-15)
+ * Added a new action to select the next aspect ratio. Assigned by default to
+ key "A". Unfortunately this change breaks compatibility and the aspect
+ ratio setting for all your played videos will be lost.
+ * Display the text for the statusbar in the OSD if in fullscreen mode (and
+ not paused).
+ * Added a new option for smplayer.ini: initial_stereo_mode. It sets the
+ stereo mode which will be used as default.
+ Possible values: 0 (stereo), 1 (left) and 2 (right).
+
+(2008-11-14)
+ * Added the new section Advanced->Proxy in preferences to configure the
+ proxy.
+
+(2008-11-13)
+ * Added some options in smplayer.ini (section [proxy]) to configure a proxy
+ for internet connections. Untested.
+
+
+[b]Version 0.6.5.1[/b]:
+
+(2008-11-12)
+ * Don't pass to mplayer the option -no-correct-pts or -nocorrect-pts if
+ the mplayer version is still unknown. Prevents mplayer to fail on the first
+ run, complaining about an unknown -no-correct-pts if using a recent version
+ of mplayer (r26842 or above).
+
+
+[b]Version 0.6.5[/b]:
+
+(2008-11-11)
+ * (Linux) Now smplayer tries to follow the XDG Base Directory Specification
+ (http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html)
+ for the config files. So now smplayer will save its config files under
+ the directory $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/smplayer or $HOME/.config/smplayer if
+ $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not defined.
+ If you want to keep your preferences, copy the files in $HOME/.smplayer to
+ $HOME/.config/smplayer
+
+(2008-11-07)
+ * Added a new option "Floating control" in Preferences->Interface. It allows
+ to configure the floating control (width, margin...).
+
+(2008-11-06)
+ * (Experimental) Added the possibility to select the adaptor for xv. Requires
+ at least MPlayer SVN r26762 (from 2008-05-13).
+
+(2008-11-05)
+ * Added support for another patch:
+ http://smplayer.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/smplayer/mplayer-builds/patches/id_exit.diff
+ This patch allows the playlist to work properly even if the output messages
+ of mplayer are not in English.
+ * New option for smplayer.ini: bypass_window_manager (section
+ [floating_control]). If set to true (the default), the floating control
+ widget will bypass the window manager (seems necessary for some window
+ managers). You can try to set it to false if you have problems with the
+ floating control.
+
+(2008-11-04)
+ * On startup the previous position of the main (default) window is checked
+ if it's valid for the current screen. If it's not, then the window is
+ moved to 0x0.
+ * The same for the playlist (if it's not docked).
+
+(2008-11-01)
+ * Cleanup and reorganization of the config path code.
+ The commandline option -ini-path has been removed and replaced with
+ -config-path, which specifies the directory where smplayer will store
+ its data (not only smplayer.ini).
+ * Now to know if a file has no video, instead of looking for the line
+ "Video: no video" (it's not reliable as it's a string that can be translated),
+ it will check the video codec, if it's empty, there's no video.
+
+(2008-10-30)
+ * The reorganization of the subtitles section in preferences is finished.
+ * The mplayer devs have added the -volume option in svn r27872, so now the
+ hack to try to detect a patched mplayer have been removed. Now smplayer
+ will simply use the -volume option if mplayer is r27872 or newer.
+
+(2008-10-28)
+ * The subtitles for srt, sub... formats when using the SSA/ASS library,
+ can now be more customized. It's possible to select the font, size,
+ colors, bold, italic, outline, shadow...
+ Not finished yet.
+
+(2008-10-27)
+ * Added the new option "Correct pts" in Preferences->Advanced. Disabled by
+ default because it causes some problems with mkv files.
+ * The dialog to jump to a specified time allows now to enter the seconds
+ too.
+
+
+[b]Version 0.6.4[/b]:
+
+(2008-10-22)
+ * (Linux) Now smplayer will pop up a warning if the mplayer version is old.
+ This popup will appear only once, although there'll be a reminder in the
+ status line.
+ A mplayer is considered old if it's older than svn r25158 (that includes
+ 1.0rc2)
+
+(2008-10-21)
+ * Now if the SSA/ASS lib is enabled and a file named styles.ass exists in the
+ smplayer config directory ($HOME/.smplayer/ or the application directory if
+ compiled with PORTABLE_APP) smplayer will load it (mplayer option
+ -ass-styles). In this case the color for subtitles and styles configured
+ in Preferences->Subtitles WON'T be used.
+ In the future smplayer will create that file automatically and the
+ preferences dialog will allow to configure all (or at least the most
+ important) styles.
+
+(2008-10-20)
+ * Bugfix: the show equalizer option didn't work when assigned to any of
+ the mouse buttons. (Reason: the action name was changed some time ago
+ from "equalizer" to "video_equalizer)
+ * Added "Show audio equalizer" to the mouse buttons' combos too.
+
+(2008-10-19)
+ * (Experimental) Added the possibility to change the video track.
+ Only tested with this sample video: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=3GAGZCTP
+
+(2008-10-16)
+ * Moved the comboboxes for the video & audio drivers to the Video and Audio
+ tabs.
+ * Added a new section in the preferences dialog: Playlist.
+
+(2008-10-15)
+ * Added the possibility to add consecutive files (video_01.avi,
+ video_02.avi..) to the playlist. This feature is controlled by the option
+ add_to_playlist_consecutive_files (under the [gui] section).
+ * Now the available tracks in DVDs, CDs and VCDs won't be automatically added
+ to the playlist if the option gui/auto_add_to_playlist is false. Should fix
+ bug #2049998.
+
+(2008-10-14)
+ * Logout is not cancelled by smplayer. Fixes bug #2155555.
+ * Now the options in preferences display a tooltip with a help message.
+ * Revised and corrected some of the help messages in preferences.
+ * Added 1:1 to the aspect ratio menu.
+
+(2008-10-10)
+ * Added a work-around for Traditional Chinese. The names of the arrow keys
+ were deleted from the shortcuts if using Qt 4.3.
+
+(2008-10-09)
+ * Now the video keeps paused when changing brightness, contrast, hue,
+ saturation and gamma.
+ * Now the dialog to find subtitles can also download the subtitles (the
+ zip file) and extract the subtitle file. This is exactly how it works:
+ when you click on the download button, the zip file is downloaded to a
+ temporary file. If the zip file contains only one subtitle, it's extracted,
+ trying to use the same name of the video. So if the video is named movie.avi
+ and you downloaded a French subtitle, the subtitle is saved as movie_fr.srt.
+ If there are more than one subtitle in the zip file, a dialog will appear
+ so the user can choose the subtitle(s) to extract. In that case, and in
+ order not to make things more complicated, the subtitles are just saved
+ with their original names.
+
+(2008-10-06)
+ * (Windows) Added a tool (dxlist) which can list the dsound audio devices
+ and the ddraw display devices. Read the README.txt inside the dxlist
+ subdirectory for more info and how to compile it.
+ * (Windows) Now it's possible to choose the audio device to be used with
+ dsound. It requires dxlist.exe to be installed in the same folder as
+ smplayer.exe. This is experimental.
+
+(2008-10-05)
+ * Added a new option for smplayer.ini: display_in_compact_mode (under section
+ [floating_control]). If true the floating control will appear too in
+ compact mode. Note: it may not look very well in this mode...
+
+(2008-10-04)
+ * (Linux) Now it's possible to choose the audio device to be used with alsa.
+ It requires the application "aplay" to be installed.
+
+(2008-10-03)
+ * Added an option in Preferences->General->Video to set the default zoom.
+
+(2008-10-02)
+ * Applied (with some changes) the patch to add support for enca, by
+ Stanislav Maslovski <s_i_m@users.sourceforge.net>.
+ This adds a new option in Preferences->Subtitles, which can make mplayer
+ to try to autodetect the encoding for subtitles. This requires a mplayer
+ compiled with enca support.
+
+(2008-09-29)
+ * Now the chapters on DVD should work again.
+ * Reorganization in some data structures.
+ * Added another experimental new code to resize the main window.
+
+(2008-09-28)
+ * Added an (experimental) generic code to manage chapters, instead of two
+ separate codes for mkv and DVDs. Seems to work well with mkv but it's
+ still untested on DVDs.
+
+(2008-09-27)
+ * Added basic support for the tag ID_CHAPTERS, added in mplayer svn r27667.
+ This makes things easier to know the number of chapters in a video.
+ Don't know if it could cause a conflict with DVD chapters. Some code
+ has still to be revised and modified.
+ * Bugfix: if using "directx," the -colorkey option wasn't passed to mplayer
+ (thus the video was black). Now this should be fixed.
+
+(2008-09-26)
+ * Added support for the new "pausing_keep_force" slave mode command prefix
+ (added in mplayer r27665).
+ This prefix really keeps the file paused after processing a slave command.
+ So now if you, for example, mute the audio when the video is paused it
+ won't advance one frame after it. It also keeps the video paused when you
+ take a screenshot (although you won't see the confirmation message until
+ playback resumes).
+ There's also an option for smplayer.ini, use_pausing_keep_force. You can
+ set to false if you find any trouble or prefer the old behaviour.
+
+(2008-09-25)
+ * Added the Galician translation, by Miguel Branco <mgl.branco@gmail.com>.
+
+
+[b]Version 0.6.3[/b]:
+
+(2008-09-24)
+ * Added a new shortcut set (sda.keys) taken from
+ http://speeddemosarchive.com/forum/index.php/topic,7774.0.html, which you
+ can load in the shortcut editor in preferences.
+
+(2008-09-23)
+ * Added two icons for the mirror and flip actions (mirror.png and flip.png)
+ taken from the Gimp.
+ * Added a new option for smplayer.ini: default_size (section [gui]). It
+ specifies the default size of the main window. Previously it was hardcoded
+ (580x440).
+
+(2008-09-22)
+ * Now the subtitles can be mirrored, flipped or rotated along with the image.
+ The way to enable it is not obvious though. You need to enable the option
+ "Include subtitles on screenshots" (Preferences->Subtitles).
+ * (Linux) Tries to set "/dev/dvd" and "/dev/cdrom" (if they exist) as default
+ values for the dvd and cdrom devices.
+
+(2008-09-21)
+ * Added the new option Video->Mirror image. This option mirrors the image
+ on the Y axis.
+
+(2008-09-20)
+ * The comboboxes to select the video and audio driver in Preferences->
+ General have changed. Now they are not editable, and only show some
+ of the available drivers (png, jpeg... and so on are not shown). There's
+ also an "User defined" option. If selected, a line edit will appear where
+ the user can type the driver to use (possibly with additional options).
+ * The code in preferences.h/preferences.cpp has been reorganized, and
+ now the preferences are saved in several sections in smplayer.ini.
+ That means most of your settings will be lost and you'll have to reconfigure
+ smplayer again (I even recommend to delete smplayer.ini, otherwise there'll
+ be a mix of the old settings with the new ones).
+
+(2008-09-19)
+ * It seems crashes still happen in the code to select subtitle tracks.
+ The bug hasn't been located yet (the crash is difficult to reproduce)
+ but I have added a new check in a lower level, in the function
+ SubTracks::itemAt(). Now it checks if the requested item is in range. If
+ it's not valid it will print a warning and return an empty subtitle.
+
+(2008-09-17)
+ * Added an icon for the Play/Pause action. (This breaks all icon themes...)
+ * Added a new option for smplayer.ini: gui_minimum_width. The width of the
+ main window won't be smaller than the value of that option.
+ If gui_minimum_width is set to 0 (the default) then the minimum width
+ will be the size hint of the window.
+
+(2008-09-16)
+ * (Windows) Added a new option in Preferences->General that allows the user
+ to select which screen will display the video when using directx as video
+ driver. This option is visible only when directx is selected.
+ * (Windows) Added also a submenu Screen under the Video menu for an easier
+ selection of the screen.
+
+(2008-09-14)
+ * Check in Core::changeSubtitle() that the selected subtitle is in a valid
+ range. This should avoid crashes.
+
+(2008-09-13)
+ * Added the Kurdish translation, by Si_murg56 <simurg56@gmail.com>
+
+(2008-09-12)
+ * Added a new option in Preferences->General->Video: "Draw video using slices"
+ (-slices / -noslices in mplayer). Enabled by default.
+ * Bugfix: the items in the combobox for the mouse right click action weren't
+ retranslated properly.
+
+(2008-09-09)
+ * For some unknown reason sometimes the playlist is not shown. I think this
+ is because it's outside of the screen. Now smplayer checks if the playlist
+ is actually outside of the screen, and in that case it's moved to pos 0x0.
+
+(2008-09-08)
+ * Moved the option "Create index if needed" from the section Performance to
+ Advanced.
+ * Added an icon for the audio equalizer action.
+
+(2008-09-06)
+ * Added a new option in Preferences->Performance: Threads for decoding.
+ Sets the number of threads to use for decoding (for MPEG-1/2 and H.264 only).
+ It could be useful for multicore processors.
+ * Bugfix: the volume may be changed on startup even if the option "Change
+ volume on every file" was off.
+
+(2008-09-04)
+ * Don't change the window size if the panel is already the requested size.
+ Seems to fix a problem when using Compiz.
+
+(2008-09-01)
+ * The option "Repaint background of the video window" (in Preferences->
+ Advanced) is now enabled by default in linux. It seems with newer versions
+ of Qt it works well with it. If you have problems with the video window
+ going blank, just disable the option.
+ * The single instance option is now disabled by default on Windows, as some
+ people reported smplayer didn't start with it.
+ * 2nd try to make "gl:yuv=2:force-pbo:ati-hack" the default vo on Windows
+ Vista.
+
+(2008-08-28)
+ * Set the frame counter to 0 when starting to play a file. Fixes bug
+ #2080802.
+ * Added in Preferences->Advanced an option to select the preferred network
+ connection, IPv4 or IPv6. (IPv4 is the default)
+
+(2008-08-26)
+ * Added a new option for smplayer.ini: report_mplayer_crashes. If set to
+ false, smplayer won't display the error dialog when mplayer crashes or
+ fails to start.
+
+(2008-08-25)
+ * Added the Arabic translation, by Muhammad Nour Hajj Omar
+ <arabianheart@live.com>
+ * Added some options in menu Play->Speed to increase/decrease the
+ speed by 1% and 4%.
+ * Bugfix: the gamma was not remembered. Fixes bug #2073257.
+ * Moved the log's section in Preferences->Advanced to a new tab.
+
+(2008-08-24)
+ * Fix: some of the actions passed to -actions may not work as expected
+ because they might be executed when the video is not playing yet.
+ This should now be fixed, as if a file is passed on command line, the
+ actions are not run until the video has started to play. (If there's no
+ file on command line the actions are run immediately)
+
+(2008-08-21)
+ * Added a new option in Preferences->General->Audio: "Enable the audio
+ equalizer". If this option is checked, the mplayer equalizer filter will
+ be used and the menu option Audio->Equalizer will be enabled.
+
+(2008-08-20)
+ * Moved the eq2 filter before the screenshot filter, otherwise the
+ screenshots are not affected by the settings in the video equalizer.
+ Obviously this requires the software equalizer (eq2) to be enabled.
+ This should fix bug #2062425.
+ * Added a new section in the config file: [floating_control] with 3
+ options: animated, width and margin. The options "animated" and "width"
+ were previously available as floating_control_animated and
+ floating_control_width in the [default_gui] and [mini_gui] sections.
+ The option "margin" is new, and sets the number of pixels that the
+ floating control will be away from the border of the screen (by default, 0).
+
+(2008-08-19)
+ * Added two new functions for the mouse buttons: increase volume and
+ decrease volume. Closes feature request #2055061.
+
+(2008-08-18)
+ * Renamed Video->Aspect ratio->None to Video->Aspect ratio->Disabled and
+ Video->Aspect ratio->Autodetect to Video->Aspect ratio->Auto.
+
+(2008-08-17)
+ * Added a new (experimental) option: Video->Aspect ratio->None. When this
+ option is selected the video will be stretched to fill all the available
+ space, not keeping the aspect ratio.
+ Note: this option does NOT work properly if using x11 as video driver.
+
+(2008-08-16)
+ * Added m2ts to the list of extensions for video.
+
+
+[b]Version 0.6.2[/b]:
+
+(2008-08-13)
+ * (Linux) The SSA/ASS library is enabled by default.
+
+(2008-08-12)
+ * Added the document Configuring_the_toolbars.txt.
+ * Added the new option Tips in the Help menu. It just opens a web browser
+ to http://smplayer.wiki.sourceforge.net/Tips.
+
+(2008-08-11)
+ * Bugfix: the volume slider appeared in the mini gui even if it had been
+ removed from the config file.
+
+(2008-08-09)
+ * As it seems many people don't understand (and even send bug reports without
+ reading the online help) the new meaning of the font scale options in
+ Preferences->Subtitles, those two options have been hidden.
+ (They can be made visible again changing the value of the new config
+ option show_font_scale_options_in_preferences).
+
+(2008-08-07)
+ * Added a time display to the floating control in the minigui.
+ * The playlist and the volume slider don't send mouse events to their
+ parents. Should fix bugs #1993291 and #2020003.
+ * Avoid to resize the main window to the default size (400x300) when
+ playing an audio file.
+
+(2008-08-06)
+ * The find subtitles dialog is now a top level window, instead of a dialog.
+ * Play the last item in the playlist if the "play previous" button is
+ pressed and the current item is the first one. Fixes bug #2040473.
+ * Added "play next" and "play previous" to the Play menu.
+
+(2008-08-03)
+ * A little reorganization in the General section in preferences and other
+ minor changes in other sections.
+
+(2008-07-28)
+ * Now the default cache for local files is 2000 KB, and for audio CDs and VCDs
+ is 1000 KB.
+
+(2008-07-26)
+ * Added an option in Preferences->Performance to set the cache for VCDs.
+
+(2008-07-25)
+ * Added an option in Preferences->Performance to set the cache for
+ audio CDs.
+
+(2008-07-22)
+ * (Windows) Added to the file associations section the playlist
+ extensions.
+
+(2008-07-17)
+ * Try to use alsa as default audio driver in linux.
+
+(2008-07-16)
+ * Fix: remember the last directory used when adding files to the
+ playlist. Fixes bug #2019139.
+
+(2008-07-13)
+ * Another fix for Qt 4.4. Dragging files to the playlist didn't work.
+ * Added the Slovenian translation, by Janez Troha <janez.troha@gmail.com>.
+ * Fix: mplayer crashed when trying to play audio files if the option to
+ run mplayer in its own window was enabled. Now I hope this is fixed.
+
+(2008-07-12)
+ * Added a new option for command line: -sub. It specifies a subtitle file
+ to be loaded for the first video. It requires at least a file to play
+ in the command line, otherwise the option will be ignored.
+ * Added a new option "Play files from start" in the playlist preferences.
+ If enabled (the default) files in the playlist will begin to play from
+ the beginning, otherwise they'll play from the position they were last
+ time you played them.
+
+(2008-07-09)
+ * Now the initialization of the audio track should work ok again, even if
+ the option "Fast audio track switching" is set to "No".
+
+(2008-07-08)
+ * Added a context menu in the find subtitles dialog, with two options:
+ "download" and "copy link to clipboard".
+
+(2008-07-05)
+ * Some changes in the single instance options. Now the single instance is
+ enabled by default. There's also the possibility to let the application
+ to choose automatically the port to be used, which is also the default
+ option.
+
+(2008-07-03)
+ * Temporary fix for the problem created yesterday: now when a file starts to
+ play, the audio track will be changed using the mplayer slave command even
+ if the option "Fast audio track switching" is set to "No". This makes that
+ the selection of the initial audio track works ok with avi and mkv files
+ for example, but it won't work yet with ogm for instance.
+ * The floating control in the default gui saves/restores its actions to
+ the config file, so now it can be customized by the user.
+ * The seeking mini buttons come back. Now by default, the default gui
+ will show only two seeking buttons. Keeping them pressed for a moment
+ will pop up the rest of the buttons. You may need to delete the
+ [default_gui] section in the config file (or at least the options which
+ start with "actions\...") to see them. If you don't like these buttons
+ you can delete them from the config file and add the old ones.
+
+(2008-07-02)
+ * The SSA/ASS library is NOT enabled by default. It seems there are memory
+ leaks in libass...
+ * Fixed a crash which may happen if the option "Fast audio track switching"
+ was set to "No". As a side effect, now if that option is set to "No" the
+ preferred audio language (set in the preferences), won't be selected on
+ startup, the file will just start to play with the default audio track.
+
+(2008-07-01)
+ * The minimum size of the video window is now 1x1 instead of 0x0. Fixes a
+ crash that may happen under certain circumstances.
+
+(2008-06-26)
+ * Now everything in the audio equalizer should work. The "apply" button
+ restarts the file and passes the equalizer settings using the "equalizer"
+ filter in mplayer, so it allows to use the dialog with non-patched mplayer.
+ The "set as default values" just saves the current settings in the config
+ file and they will be used when playing new files.
+
+(2008-06-25)
+ * Added an audio equalizer. Not finished yet!
+ In order to work you need to patch mplayer with this patch:
+ http://smplayer.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/*checkout*/smplayer/mplayer-builds/patches/patcheq.diff
+ Otherwise it won't do anything (lie, if you restart the file the values in
+ the equalizer will take effect)
+ Missing or not working things: the "set as default values" button doesn't
+ work, an "apply" button is missing (this button will set the values
+ restarting mplayer, so it will work with a normal non-patched mplayer).
+
+(2008-06-24)
+ * Removed the action dock_playlist. It was causing a lot of troubles, even
+ crashes.
+ * New option for the config file: hide_video_window_on_audio_files. If
+ true (the default) the video window will be hidden when playing audio
+ files. Otherwise the video window won't be hidden and it will show the
+ smplayer logo instead.
+ It's not recommended to set this option to false in linux.
+
+(2008-06-21)
+ * Created a huge list of languages (with the ISO 639-1 codes) and make
+ the "find subtitles" dialog to use it.
+ * The Qt version is saved along with the toolbars state. This should avoid
+ problems when upgrading Qt, as the toolbars info won't be used if the
+ Qt version doesn't match.
+ * Added new action: dock_playlist.
+
+(2008-06-19)
+ * Some fixes in the find subtitles dialog:
+ - the dialog is retranslated
+ - the table is sorted (sometimes, still doesn't work well, at least with
+ Qt 4.2)
+ - it won't download the subtitle info again if the filenane didn't changed
+ * The floating control will be hidden if the mouse is not over the widget
+ within 5 seconds.
+
+(2008-06-18)
+ * The option "Subtitles->Find subtitles on the web" now displays a dialog
+ which retrieves the info about the available subtitles from
+ opensubtitles.org. To download a subtitle just double click on it or
+ click the "Download" button.
+ Known issues: the table is not sorted after adding new data.
+ To filter a language you have to type the ISO 639-1 code in the language
+ box. So to display only the Spanish subtitles you have to type "es", for
+ German "de" and so on. In the future there'll be a combobox to select
+ the language.
+
+(2008-06-13)
+ * Now the SSA/ASS library is enabled by default.
+ * gl:yuv=2:force-pbo:ati-hack will be the default under Windows Vista
+ (untested).
+
+(2008-06-12)
+ * Updated the Hungarian translation, by CyberDragon <cyberdragon777@gmail.com>
+
+(2008-06-11)
+ * Now the default value for option change_equalizer_on_startup is true
+ (users which run the previous svn revision will have to make the change
+ manually) but the brightness, contrast... won't be changed on startup
+ if the value is 0.
+ * Also be sure that the equalizer dialog is updated just after a file begins
+ to play.
+ * Check that the values for brightness, contrast, saturation. hue and gamma
+ have actually changed before updating them.
+ * Renamed change_equalizer_on_startup to change_video_equalizer_on_startup.
+
+(2008-06-10)
+ * Renamed the config option "dont_use_eq_options" to
+ "change_equalizer_on_startup" and set it to false as default because
+ it seems some people are having problems with high brightness and contrast.
+
+(2008-06-09)
+ * Added the opensubtitles patch by Kamil Dziobek <turbos11@gmail.com> (with
+ some modifications). This adds an option in the subtitles menu which
+ allows you to download subtitles for the file you're playing, and another
+ one to upload subtitles.
+
+(2008-06-07)
+ * Manually removed "<pixmapfunction>qPixmapFromMimeSource</pixmapfunction>"
+ from several *.ui files because otherwise the files generated by uic
+ would depend on Q3Support.
+
+(2008-06-05)
+ * Now if we've got info about the size and aspect ratio (the file has been
+ played before) the main window will be resized before starting to play
+ the file.
+
+(2008-06-04)
+ * When entering in fullscreen, the playlist is hidden only if it's in the
+ same screen as the main window. (Untested!)
+
+(2008-06-03)
+ * Added the possibility to compile smplayer in Windows without the
+ file associations code, so it doesn't write anything in the
+ registry (important for a portable app). Just comment the line
+ DEFINES += USE_ASSOCIATIONS in smplayer.pro.
+ * Another fix for Qt 4.4. The language toolbar wasn't restored
+ properly.
+ * More work to make smplayer a better portable application (although most of
+ the following work on linux, it's intended for windows). If PORTABLE_APP
+ is defined (it can be done with 'qmake DEFINES+=PORTABLE_APP') then:
+ - it will use by default the application directory for the ini files
+ - it won't try to create the smplayer home directory or the screenshot
+ directory ($HOME/.smplayer and $HOME/.smplayer/screenshots)
+ - by default the path for the screenshots is empty
+ - under windows the associations code won't be compiled, so smplayer won't
+ write anything in the windows registry.
+
+(2008-06-02)
+ * Now the controlbar and floating control in the minigui can be
+ configured too.
+ * Some minor (and internal) changes:
+ - the playlist doesn't save its size as that is already done by
+ QMainWindow::saveState()
+ - sizes and positions are saved to the config file as QSize's and
+ QPoint's
+
+(2008-06-01)
+ * (Bugfix) The "modify shortcut" dialog was under the other windows if
+ the option Video -> Stay on top was enabled.
+ * Started to write the code to make the toolbars configurable:
+ - the list of actions in a widget can be saved to the config file
+ - a widget can be populated with the actions read from the config file
+ - as a test the toolbar1, controlwidget and controlwidget_mini in
+ defaultgui are saved to the config and loaded on startup
+
+(2008-05-30)
+ * The maximum port for the single instance is 65535, instead of 99999.
+ * Added a new option in guiconfig.h, USE_MINIMUMSIZE. If set to 1
+ the main window will not be smaller than the control widget size hint.
+
+
+[b]Version 0.6.1[/b]:
+
+(2008-05-26)
+ * The command line option -mini has been renamed to -minigui (-mini still
+ works)
+ * Added a new command line option -defaultgui, which selects the default
+ gui.
+ * Added an option in Preferences->Interface to select the preferred GUI.
+ This option is not applied immediately, you need to close smplayer and
+ open it again.
+ Note: the command line options -minigui and -defaultgui have preference
+ over this option.
+
+(2008-05-25)
+ * Some internal changes: baseguiplus saves some variables to the config
+ file so it can exit from compact mode properly even if made between
+ different sessions. Also the code to resize the main window when
+ entering/exiting compact mode has been moved from defaultgui to
+ baseguiplus. BTW, compact mode is broken if the playlist is embedded
+ in the main window.
+ * Maybe the compact mode with the playlist embedded in the main window
+ is fixed now.
+
+(2008-05-24)
+ * Added "gl:yuv=2:force-pbo:ati-hack" to the list of video drivers. This
+ seems to be very fast. Requires mplayer svn r26853 (from 2008-05-22).
+ * Now the video driver by default on Windows Vista is gl, instead of
+ directx. (Untested)
+
+(2008-05-22)
+ * Fix: changing the demuxer should not lose the audio or subtitles (but
+ the selected tracks after restart may be different).
+
+(2008-05-19)
+ * Fix: zoom didn't work well with directx.
+ * Added the Catalan translation, by Roger Calvó <rcalvoi@yahoo.com>.
+
+(2008-05-17)
+ * Now the maximum port for the single instance is 99999 instead of 10000.
+
+(2008-05-15)
+ * Now the "latest_dir" is updated too when opening a file from command line.
+ Also the "latest_dir" now defaults to the home directory instead of the
+ smplayer working directory.
+ * Now when switching to compact mode, the main window is resized instead of
+ leaving black borders where the widgets were placed. This resize will only
+ be done if the autoresize option is set to "whenever it's needed".
+
+
+[b]Version 0.6.0[/b]:
+
+(2008-05-12)
+ * Improved the file smplayer.spec and added the script create_rpm.sh, both
+ contributed by iSage.
+
+(2008-05-08)
+ * Added m2t to the list of extensions for video.
+
+(2008-05-05)
+ * The option Play->Repeat is now always enabled, so it can be activated
+ before playing anything.
+
+(2008-05-03)
+ * Now, when browsing the recents menu, the statusbar shows the full path of
+ the selected item.
+
+(2008-04-30)
+ * Now the video equalizer displays the values of each control.
+
+(2008-04-28)
+ * Hopefully fixed the problem of the ghost playlist, visible for a moment
+ on startup.
+ * Updated the Portuguese (pt_PT) translation, made by Sérgio Marques
+ <contatica@netcabo.pt>
+ * (Linux) Added the file smplayer_enqueue.desktop which allows to add
+ the selected files in the file browser to the playlist.
+
+(2008-04-27)
+ * Now the time (and volume) sliders should work better.
+
+(2008-04-26)
+ * Now the default filter for Open->File is "multimedia", it shows video,
+ audio and playlist files.
+ * Added an option in the playlist's preferences to save a copy of the
+ contents of the playlist to the config file.
+ * (Bugfix) Don't allow to enter in compact mode when in fullscreen.
+ Fixes bug #1951297.
+
+(2008-04-25)
+ * Added a new widget (a line edit + a button) which allows the user to
+ select a file or directory. The preferences dialog now uses this widget.
+
+(2008-04-23)
+ * Fix loading idx/sub subtitles. The filename was incorrectly passed to
+ mplayer if it contained several dots.
+
+(2008-04-22)
+ * Now smplayer can detect if mplayer has been patched with the
+ startupvol patch. Autodetection will only succeed if mplayer has been
+ patched with this 2nd version of the patch:
+ http://smplayer.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/*checkout*/smplayer/mplayer-builds/patches/startupvol-2.diff
+ * Now the option "Change volume just before playing" in
+ Preferences->General->Audio can be set to "Auto".
+
+(2008-04-20)
+ * Added a preferences dialog for the playlist.
+
+(2008-04-19)
+ * Don't get info about the files added automatically by the GUI to the
+ playlist (usually it's the file to play, so it's a waste of time).
+ * Added possibility to add directories recursively to the playlist. Right
+ now it's necessary to edit smplayer.ini and set recursive_add_directory to
+ true (inside [playlist] section). Soon there'll be an option for this
+ in the GUI.
+
+(2008-04-18)
+ * (Windows) Applied a patch by "hackykid" to fix a link error when compiling with
+ Visual Studio.
+ http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1924296&group_id=185512&atid=913575
+
+(2008-04-17)
+ * Updated the Italian and Polish translations.
+ * (Bugfix) If the option to start videos in fullscreen is activated, now
+ fullscreen mode will be entered only when the video is opened, and not for
+ instance when you unpause the video.
+ * (Windows) Added the exit fullscreen and close actions to the floating
+ control widget, so their key shortcuts can work in the floating control.
+
+(2008-04-16)
+ * Now the mouse right button can be configured. By default it will
+ show the context menu. The context menu can also be assigned to another
+ button (or key).
+ * Added the open directory action to the systray menu. Fixes bug #1943895.
+
+
+[b]Version 0.6.0rc4[/b]:
+
+(2008-04-13)
+ * Added the action next_osd to the list of actions available for mouse
+ buttons.
+
+(2008-04-12)
+ * Now the possibility to get info (length, name) about the files added to
+ the playlist can be disabled. It's not in the preferences dialog as usual
+ but in the playlist itself, as an option in the "add" menu.
+ * Added the rewind and forward actions to the list of actions available for
+ mouse buttons.
+
+(2008-04-11)
+ * Added support for the mouse XButton1 and XButton2. This is untested as
+ my mouse doesn't have those buttons.
+
+(2008-04-10)
+ * Added in Preferences->General->Video an option to select the default
+ deinterlacer. It will be used for new videos opened.
+
+(2008-04-07)
+ * Now when a file is added to the playlist, it will get some info about it.
+ This allows to display the length and name (if available) in the list.
+ Very useful for mp3 and similar.
+
+(2008-04-06)
+ * If a file with the same name of the file to play but with extension
+ .edl (or .EDL) exists then smplayer will load it automatically (this can
+ be disabled by setting use_edl_files in smplayer.ini to false).
+ An edl file allows to skip or mute parts of the video.
+ Info about edl files: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/edl.html
+
+(2008-04-02)
+ * (Bugfix) When using the command line options -send-action or -actions, some
+ actions like aspect_4:3 didn't work.
+
+(2008-04-01)
+ * Don't check if the items in the recent's menu are local files, as it can
+ take a long time if they are not.
+ * Compiled with MINI_ARROW_BUTTONS = 0 by default (so reverting changes in
+ r1038-r1039).
+
+(2008-03-29)
+ * Fix: DVDs started to play at chapter #2 if using mplayer 1.0rc2 or older.
+ * Now the default gui will only show two arrow buttons for seeking
+ (rewind 10 secs and forward 10 secs) but if you keep those buttons
+ pressed for a moment a popup menu will show with the rest of the buttons.
+
+
+[b]Version 0.6.0rc3[/b]:
+
+(2008-03-21)
+ * Try to use xv (or directx in windows) if the video driver is not set.
+ * Added Play->Jump to, which will show a dialog where you can enter the
+ position (time) to jump.
+
+(2008-03-20)
+ * Fix: selection of chapters should work again with newer versions of mplayer.
+ * Removed the option "Fast seek to chapters in dvds" in
+ Preferences->Performance. Now it will use the fast method if not using
+ a cache, and the slow one otherwise (the latter won't even work in newer
+ versions of mplayer, so it's recommended not to use a cache for dvds).
+ * Added rm and swf to the list of extensions.
+
+(2008-03-17)
+ * Added new menu Video->Rotate, with options to rotate the image.
+ * Show the language -if available- along with the name in the audio menu
+ (it may work too in the title menu).
+
+(2008-03-14)
+ * Now a dialog appears too if mplayer fails to start or crashes.
+ * Add the scale filter if using the soft equalizer and gl/gl2, to avoid
+ mplayer to complain.
+ * The subtitle actions are enabled now if the close caption option is checked.
+
+(2008-03-13)
+ * Added a new dialog to report the mplayer errors.
+
+(2008-03-11)
+ * Displays a warning dialog if mplayer exits with an exit code
+ different to 0.
+
+(2008-03-10)
+ * (Internal change) Use -monitorpixelaspect instead of -monitoraspect.
+
+(2008-03-08)
+ * Use -colorkey for directx only.
+
+(2008-03-06)
+ * Added more help for the subtitle, interface and advanced sections in
+ preferences.
+
+(2008-03-05)
+ * Ignore action restore/hide if system tray icon is not visible. Fixes
+ bug #1908229.
+ * Added option in config.h to disable the use of the colorkey.
+
+(2008-03-03)
+ * Now the shortcut editor should recognize some of the multimedia keys.
+ * (By user request) Added an action to reset the video equalizer.
+ * Remove starting and ending whitespaces in mp3 tags. Patch by
+ Tanguy Krotoff <tkrotoff@gmail.com>
+
+(2008-03-02)
+ * Bugfix: the keys PgDown and PgUp were incorrectly identified as PageDown
+ and PageUp by shortcutgetter.
+
+(2008-03-01)
+ * Try to keep fullscreen mode if running mplayer in its own window when
+ opening a new file.
+ * Added flac to the list of audio extensions. Patch by
+ Tanguy Krotoff <tkrotoff@gmail.com>
+ * Now changing the application stylesheet can be disabled setting
+ ALLOW_CHANGE_STYLESHEET to 0 in config.h
+
+(2008-02-29)
+ * Added the Macedonian translation by Marko Doda <mark0d0da@gmail.com>
+ * Added the Basque translation by Piarres Beobide <pi@beobide.net>
+
+(2008-02-26)
+ * Add the hue filter if the software equalizer is enabled. This allows to
+ change the hue in the video equalizer.
+ * Allow the software equalizer to be used with gl/gl2. Note: it won't work
+ with gl or gl2 but it will work with gl:yuv=3 and gl2:yuv=3.
+
+(2008-02-25)
+ * Bugfix: mark the right current item in the playlist if deleted an item
+ above it. Patch by corentin1234.
+
+(2008-02-23)
+ * Added two new options in the Subtitles menu: "Enable closed caption" and
+ "Forced subtitles only". These two options are global because they are
+ intended for DVDs. None of these two options have been tested!
+
+(2008-02-17)
+ * On startup smplayer will create a lock file (smplayer_init.lock in the
+ config directory) which will be removed once smplayer has been initialized.
+ If another instance finds that file it will wait until the file is deleted
+ (or 10 seconds have passed).
+ The reason for this is to give the first instance some time to proper
+ initialize in case several instances were launched at the same time (Windows
+ does it if you select to "Enqueue in smplayer" multiple files).
+
+(2008-02-16)
+ * New experimental code. New class "SMPlayer" which initializes the global
+ objects and can parse the arguments. There's also a new main (main2.cpp).
+ It's possible this could have broken something!
+
+
+[b]Version 0.6.0rc2[/b]:
+
+(2008-02-11)
+ * Added gl:yuv=3 and gl2:yuv=3 to the list of video drivers.
+
+(2008-02-09)
+ * (Windows) Screensaver: set the timeout for lowpower, poweroff and
+ screensaver before playing, and restore on stop.
+
+(2008-02-08)
+ * (Windows) Bugfix: don't try to convert to 8.3 short names files that
+ don't exist.
+
+(2008-02-07)
+ * The script create_deb should compile and create the package much faster.
+ * Bugfix: if the mplayer binary configured in preferences is just "mplayer"
+ and there's a directory or file named mplayer in the smplayer working
+ directory, smplayer would try to call that file. Now it won't call it
+ if it's a regular file or directory, but WARNING if it's a binary it
+ still will call it (this is because it tries to convert the path in an
+ absolute path).
+ * Some fixes so smplayer can work ok with a relative mplayer path.
+
+(2008-02-06)
+ * Now selection of chapters in mkv files should work properly again if
+ using mplayer >= r25391.
+
+(2008-02-05)
+ * (Windows) Bugfix: the buttons to select the font color in
+ Preferences->Subtitles->SSA/ASS didn't show the color.
+ * Removed Yurkovsky Andrey from the list of translators, as requested
+ by himself.
+
+(2008-02-04)
+ * The option Play->Repeat should work better now. Also if using mplayer
+ >= r23747 toggling the option won't require to restart mplayer (uses
+ the loop slave command instead).
+
+(2008-02-03)
+ * Try to remember if the window was maximized after exiting from fullscreen.
+ * Added workaround for the problem of subtitles which don't disappear when
+ using the "Add black borders" filter.
+
+
+[b]Version 0.6.0rc1[/b]:
+
+(2008-01-30)
+ * Added the Korean translation, by Heesu Yoon <imsu30@gmail.com>
+
+(2008-01-29)
+ * If a version is not recognized, assume it's an old version instead of new.
+ This way at least the file will play.
+ * Now smplayer should recognize the mplayer version from ubuntu packages
+ (MPlayer 2:1.0~rc1-0ubuntu13.1 (C) 2000-2006 MPlayer Team).
+ * Changed some defaults in preferences: framedrop will be enabled, and
+ subtitles on screenshots disabled.
+
+(2008-01-28)
+ * Now the user can tell smplayer what version of mplayer is using, with the
+ config option mplayer_forced_version. Anyway in the future there'll be
+ a dialog to configure this.
+ * Renamed mplayer_forced_version to mplayer_user_supplied_version. That
+ version will be used only if smplayer can't parse the mplayer version from
+ the mplayer output.
+ * Now if the mplayer version can't be parsed a dialog will pop up asking the
+ user for the mplayer version.
+
+(2008-01-26)
+ * Now it's possible to zoom out on the video image.
+ * Cosmetic change: now the mouse icon in Preferences->Interface->Seeking
+ has the same size as the icons above.
+ * Moved to old-txt some outdated txt files.
+ * Updated Release_notes.txt, with the changes since version 0.5.62.
+ * Now under Windows, the main window will never start hidden even if the
+ system tray icon is shown. This should fix bug #1851817.
+ On linux the behavior didn't change, as this is the way other applications
+ work.
+
+(2008-01-25)
+ * Updated the FAQ.
+ * If changing the size of the normal (no -ass) subtitles requires to
+ restart mplayer (because using an old version or configured this way)
+ the size will increase or decrease in steps of 1, instead of 0.2, to
+ make the resize faster.
+ * Added an option in Preferences->Subtitles to set the default font scale
+ for SSA/ASS subtitles. This has required to redesigned the section.
+
+(2008-01-24)
+ * Using now the sub_scale slave command for -ass subtitles. This allows to
+ change the font size on runtime. Requires MPlayer r25843.
+ * Now the font scale is stored in two independent variables, one if not
+ using libass and another if using it. This is because the same value
+ produces very different font sizes. A value of 7 can display subtitles
+ with a normal size if not using libass, but if libass is enabled the
+ font will be huge.
+ Important: the Scale option in Preferences->Subtitles, which sets the
+ initial font scale for new videos, will now be only used if libass is
+ disabled.
+ It has been added a similar option for libass, but currently it can only
+ be changed by editing smplayer.ini (initial_sub_scale_ass, default value 1).
+
+(2008-01-22)
+ * Now the delay to update the video while dragging the time slider can
+ be configured in smplayer.ini, option time_slider_drag_delay. The
+ value by default is 100 (milliseconds).
+ * The scale field in Preferences->Subtitles now accepts doubles.
+ Fixes bug #1876114.
+
+(2008-01-21)
+ * Added some new icons to the default theme taken from nuvoX
+ (http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/nuvoX?content=38467)
+
+(2008-01-18)
+ * "Help->Command line options" now shows an html text, so it looks better.
+
+(2008-01-17)
+ * Added "Help->Command line options", which shows a text with help about
+ the available command line options. It displays the same as smplayer -h
+ but it will useful for Windows users, as smplayer -h doesn't work for
+ them.
+
+(2008-01-16)
+ * Now "Stay on top" is made properly, not cleaning the other flags.
+ * The Makefile installs the files in docs/ru
+ * Fixed a bug: Help->FAQ displayed the FAQ in the locale language and not
+ in the language set in smplayer.
+ * Now all the gpl.html in docs/ should be in UTF-8.
+ * Converted docs/es/gpl.html and docs/de/gpl.html to UTF-8.
+ * Added docs/ru/gpl.html.
+
+(2008-01-15)
+ * Now the colorkey is passed properly to mplayer.
+ * Added a new option: Options->Visualize motion vectors (-lavdopts vismv=7).
+
+(2008-01-14)
+ * Added gl:yuv=3:lscale=1 in the video output combo in preferences.
+
+(2008-01-10)
+ * Added an icon in the Instances tab so it doesn't look so empty
+ (instance1.png and instance2.png).
+ * Moved the seeking options in the Interface section to another tab.
+
+(2008-01-09)
+ * Added the possibility to update the position of video while
+ dragging the time slider (instead of updating it only when the
+ slider has been released). Currently it's only possible to
+ enable this option by changing the option update_while_seeking in
+ smplayer.ini. There'll be an option in preferences soon.
+ * Added an option in Preferences->Interface to configure that option.
+
+(2008-01-08)
+ * Added an icon for Help->FAQ (faq.png).
+ * Added an icon for Help->About Qt. The icon has been taken from the Qt
+ sources (qmessagebox.cpp). This icon can't be changed by any icon theme
+ (I don't think Trolltech would like it).
+
+(2008-01-06)
+ * The subtitles size will increase or decrease in steps of 1 instead of
+ 0.2 if using SSA/ASS lib (it requires restart mplayer, which is slower).
+
+(2008-01-04)
+ * Fixed a crash which may happen if trying to select a subtitle but
+ the subtitle list was empty.
+
+(2008-01-03)
+ * Now the GPL in English is in html too. From now on, all documents
+ that smplayer have to load should be in html. This is because the
+ debian packager compress all txt files, and so smplayer won't able
+ to find them.
+ * The file FAQ.txt has been moved to docs/en and converted to html.
+ * New option Help->FAQ, which will display the FAQ in your web browser.
+
+(2008-01-02)
+ * Added a function to get the path of a translatable document. The
+ translatable documents should be (in the sources) in the docs subdir.
+ * Now the GPL file is loaded from that path.
+ * Added the Spanish and German translation of the GPL v2.
+
+(2007-12-31)
+ * Now the QTextBrowsers really should have the same background color as the
+ near widgets.
+ * Now the about dialog can show the version number of mplayer.
+ * The about dialog displays the GPL in the license tab. Temporary the file
+ with the GPL text is embedded in the smplayer executable. In the future it
+ will be read from documentation directory.
+
+(2007-12-30)
+ * Replaced the QLabels and QTextEdits in the about dialog with QTextBrowsers,
+ and changed the background colors.
+
+(2007-12-29)
+ * Split the section "Video and audio" in Preferences->General into 2 sections.
+ * Added 3 icons in the about dialog (contributors.png, translators.png and
+ license.png), taken from Crystal Clear.
+ * (By user request) Added "normal speed" to the list of actions available for
+ mouse buttons.
+
+(2007-12-27)
+ * Added a new option in Preferences->General->Video and audio: change volume
+ just before playing. This should fix the problem of the loud volume on
+ startup. It sets the volume using the commandline option -volume, but
+ WARNING: mplayer doesn't have such option, you need a patched mplayer!
+
+(2007-12-26)
+ * New about dialog, with some tabs.
+
+(2007-12-24)
+ * (Windows) Preferences->Drives shows only cdrom devices.
+
+(2007-12-22)
+ * (Windows) Now idx/sub subtitles should work also when using short names.
+ So I think this stuff is finished.
+ * Added the Finnish translation, sent by peeaivo <peeaivo@gmail.com>
+ * For the option to skip the loop filter on HD videos: now a video is
+ considered HD if its height (not width!) is equal or greater than
+ the value specified in the HD_height option in smplayer.ini (720 by default).
+ * Updated the help for the loop filter option in Preferences->Performance.
+
+(2007-12-21)
+ * (Windows) Now the short names are used too for subtitle files (except
+ idx/sub) and external audio files.
+ * Added a manpage for smplayer, created by Matvey Kozhev <sikon@lucidfox.org>
+ * (By user request) The skip loop filter in Preferences->Performance has
+ changed. Now it's called "loop filter" and the possible values are:
+ "Enabled", "Skip (always)" and "Skip only on HD videos". If the last option
+ is selected, the loop filter will be skipped if the codec for the video is
+ "ffh264" and the width of the video is 1024 or greater (this value is
+ subject to change, possibly in the future it could be configured by the
+ user).
+ * Support for colored console output is disabled under Windows. I don't
+ know any build compiled with that option.
+
+(2007-12-20)
+ * (Windows) Added a new option for the config file: use_short_pathnames.
+ If set to true, smplayer will pass to mplayer the short filename(8+3)
+ to mplayer. This allows to play files which contains characters outside
+ the local codepage (mplayer bug). Currently this only works with the file
+ to play, not with subtitles filenames or other filenames that smplayer
+ might pass to mplayer.
+ To test: I don't know if this would break compatibility with Win98.
+ * (Windows) Added an option in Preferences->Advanced to enable easily the
+ option mentioned above.
+ * Added patch by profoX to add support for the mplayer output when compiled
+ with -enable-color-console.
+
+(2007-12-18)
+ * Moved the letterbox option to the filters submenu and renamed to
+ "Add black borders".
+ * Added the new option Video->Filters->Software scaling. Makes mplayer to
+ scale the video up to the width of your screen. This is slow, you'll need
+ a really fast computer.
+
+(2007-12-17)
+ * Updated the Russian translation, and added regular expressions
+ (Advanced->MPlayer language) for Russian, sent by wiselord1983@gmail.com
+ * Added patch by Florin Braghis <florin@libertv.ro> to support Win 98.
+ Modified a little bit by me to allow it to compile under linux (for testing).
+ * Added a new option: Video->Letterbox. It adds a black border around the
+ video, according to the aspect ratio of the monitor.
+ * Simplified the aspect ratio menu. The options "4:3 Letterbox",
+ "16:9 Letterbox", "4:3 Panscan", "4:3 to 16:9" have been deleted. The first
+ two are not necessary anymore because of the new Video->Letterbox option,
+ and the last two I think they are not necessary because smplayer can
+ simulate pan&scan since some time ago. Anyway they could be added again
+ if someone really needs them.
+
+(2007-12-14)
+ * Now smplayer stores the version number of mplayer in the config file and
+ can use it to know if that version provides some feature (like the
+ scaletempo filter) before running it. This makes possible to add
+ "autodetection" too for options that should be passed on command line.
+ * Now the option "High speed playback without altering pitch" (scaletempo) on
+ Preferences->General has 3 possible values: auto, yes and no. Auto
+ (the default) will use the scaletempo filter only if the mplayer you're
+ using has that filter. "Yes" or "no" will force to use it or not, no matter
+ of the mplayer version number.
+
+(2007-12-13)
+ * (Windows) Added patch by Florin Braghis <florin@libertv.ro> to improve the
+ file associations code.
+ See http://smplayer.sourceforge.net/forums/viewtopic.php?pid=470#p470
+ * (By user request) Added the possibility to configure any of the mouse
+ buttons to show the equalizer.
+ * (Windows) Some clean up in the file associations code. Also made some
+ changes to allow to compile in linux (for testing, file associations
+ of course won't work, but I can see the dialog, translations and so on).
+
+(2007-12-10)
+ * (Internal change) Added mplayerversion.h and mplayerversion.cpp which
+ parses the mplayer version from the output of mplayer. Inforeader can also
+ get the mplayer version.
+ * Now the size of OSD/subtitle text increases/decreases in steps of 0.20.
+
+(2007-12-08)
+ * Added a new option for the config file: use_volume_option. If set to
+ true, smplayer will set the initial volume using the command line option
+ -volume in mplayer, so that should avoid that the volume is too loud on
+ startup. But... mplayer doesn't have a -volume option yet, you have to
+ patch it:
+ http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-users/2007-December/070500.html
+
+(2007-12-05)
+ * (By user request) Added a new option for the config file:
+ auto_add_to_playlist. If true, new opened files are added automatically to
+ the playlist (this is the default). Otherwise the playlist won't be
+ modified unless it's strictly necessary (play a dvd, vcd, audiocd, or
+ several files are opened at the same time).
+
+(2007-12-04)
+ * When a file has stopped, the screensaver won't be allowed to run until
+ an additional minute has passed, so it there are more files in the
+ playlist they have time to start. A minute should be enough even for
+ internet streams.
+
+(2007-11-29)
+ * Now the cache setting is independent for each type of media. That means
+ that you can disable cache for local files (faster startup) while keeping
+ a cache for internet streams.
+ The following options for the config file have been added: cache_for_files,
+ cache_for_streams, cache_for_dvds, cache_for_audiocds and cache_for_vcds
+ (the last two untested).
+ The section Performance in the preferences dialog has been changed too,
+ adding options for cache for files, cache for streams and cache for dvds.
+ Note: it's not recommended to set a cache for DVDs, seeking might not work
+ properly.
+
+(2007-11-28)
+ * Added a new experimental code to disable the screensaver (and monitor
+ turning off) on Windows.
+ * Deleted the old (ancient) code for subtitle management.
+
+(2007-11-27)
+ * If mplayer is compiled with gui support, it seems pause may not work
+ properly. I think this is fixed now, by changing the PAUSE command in
+ input.conf. Should fix bug #1839110.
+ * Now the option Open->VCD is enabled under Windows.
+
+(2007-11-25)
+ * A very important changed has been added in this revision. SMPlayer is
+ the first mplayer frontend in the world (I guess) which uses the new
+ slave commands sub_vob, sub_demux and sub_file (added a few hours ago in the
+ mplayer svn). These commands, at last, allow to accurately select the
+ subtitle track. Now you can mix without problems subtitles from different
+ sources: embedded subtitles (like in mkv or mp4 or dvds) and external
+ subtitles (srt, sub, idx/sub...), and now subtitle selection in mp4 files
+ should work again (fixes bug #1806153).
+ This possibility requires mplayer svn r25158 or above.
+ The following option for the config file has been added:
+ use_new_sub_commands. The possible values are: 0 (false), 1 (true),
+ -1 (autodetect). The default value is -1. Autodetection will use the new
+ commands or the old command according to the mplayer version.
+
+(2007-11-24)
+ * Added Polish texts for the comboboxes in Preferences->Advanced->MPlayer
+ language, sent by jarek.
+
+(2007-11-21)
+ * Added support for playlists in format pls. Now smplayer can open and
+ save pls files (only local files).
+ Not much sure if QSettings produce a file readable by other applications
+ (tested with xmms and it seems it works ok).
+
+(2007-11-20)
+ * (Internal change) Added a new list in extensions: multimedia, which
+ includes both video and audio extensions.
+ * Now "Add directory" in playlist only adds video and audio files (not
+ subtitles files, images or any other stuff you may have there).
+
+(2007-11-19)
+ * Added patch by redxii, which provide a new icon for file associations
+ under Windows.
+
+
+[b]Version 0.5.62[/b]:
+
+(2007-11-16)
+ * Added a new option in Preferences->General->Audio that allows to change
+ the playback speed without altering the pitch (requires at least
+ MPlayer dev-SVN-r24924).
+ * Released version 0.5.62. Why not?
+
+(2007-11-15)
+ * Fixed a bug in the new code in defaultgui: if you close the program in
+ compact mode, then later when quiting compact mode the toolbars don't
+ appear.
+ * (Internal change) Now lists for video, audio, subtitles and playlists
+ extensions are defined in extensions.h/extensions.cpp.
+ * Added the audio types to the associations section in preferences.
+
+(2007-11-13)
+ * Simplified the code of defaultgui, using the actions provided by
+ the toolbars instead of creating new ones, and removing some old
+ code.
+
+(2007-11-12)
+ * (Fix) Now changing the volume when the file is paused really keeps
+ pause. This is done by not changing the volume immediately but
+ scheduling the volume change just after the file plays again.
+ * The position and size calculations of the floating widget is now made
+ in the floatingwidget code instead of the gui code.
+ * Now the floating control shows with an animation! (It can be disabled in
+ the config file).
+ * (By user request) Added a new function for the mouse wheel: change playback
+ speed.
+
+(2007-11-10)
+ * (Experimental) New floating control (it looks like the old one) by using the
+ new floatingwidget. This time it has an embedded toolbar, so actions are
+ added to it (can't actions be added directly to widgets?). Previously every
+ button and widget had to be created individually (making connections and
+ so on), duplicating code. Now it's a lot easier.
+ * Started to write the "mini gui". This is an optional gui, with very few
+ buttons: it doesn't have a toolbar, and the control bar only have a
+ play/pause, stop and mute buttons, and the time slider. It also provides
+ a floating control with less buttons.
+ To enable it: smplayer -mini
+ This gui is in fact intended to be an example on how to create alternative
+ gui's for smplayer.
+
+(2007-11-09)
+ * Added options in Preferences->Advanced to save automatically the mplayer
+ log every time a new file is played. Intended for external applications.
+ Most of the code developed by iSage.
+
+(2007-11-07)
+ * More work on the new code for time and volume sliders.
+
+(2007-11-06)
+ * (Experimental internal change) Created a wrapper for the time and volume
+ slider using QWidgetAction. Until now whenever a time or volume slider were
+ needed (there are 3 time sliders and 3 volume sliders) each widget had to
+ be created, set its properties, make connections... individually = a lot
+ of duplicated code. Now only one object has to be created (one for the time
+ slider, another one for the volume slider) and then it can be inserted in
+ any widget that accepts QAction's, as many times as necessary.
+ Less code and easier.
+
+(2007-11-05)
+ * Removed option H.264->Skip frames, as it affects non H.264 videos too.
+ The option in the config file is still available.
+ * Added again the "Fast audio track switching" in Preferences->Performance,
+ with a combo to select the 3 possible values: Auto, Yes and No.
+ There's included help for this option, so I won't explain here.
+ * (By user request) Added a new option for the mouse wheel combo in
+ Preferences->Keyboard & mouse: "No function". If selected the mouse
+ wheel will do nothing.
+
+(2007-11-03)
+ * Adapted the code for patch select_sub_by_source_property2.diff.
+
+(2007-11-02)
+ * Added the Greek translation sent by my80s <wamy80s@gmail.com>.
+
+(2007-11-01)
+ * Fixed a bug which prevented to select the first (or preferred) subtitle
+ when playing a new video.
+ * Now mplayerprocess can identify the mplayer version (or svn revision).
+ * Added autodetection possibility for changing the font size of subtitles.
+ Now the values for the config option "change_sub_scale_requires_restart"
+ are different: -1 means autodetect, 0 = false, 1 = true (by default -1).
+ Autodetect will check the mplayer version to know if it's recent enough
+ to have the slave command "sub_scale". But autodetect can fail with very
+ old versions of mplayer (< 1.0rc1).
+ * Renamed "change_sub_scale_requires_restart" to
+ "change_sub_scale_should_restart" to force everyone to use the new default
+ value.
+ * Added autodetection possibility for changing audio track.
+ * The config option "audio_change_requires_restart" has been renamed to
+ "audio_change_should_restart". It also accepts three values (-1, 0 and 1)
+ being -1 autodetection. The default option is -1, which means that
+ the mplayer version will be checked to know if changing audio track
+ needs to restart the mplayer process or not.
+ * The option "Fast audio track switching" in Preferences->Advanced has been
+ disabled until a new one (a combobox) which supports the 3 values is added.
+
+(2007-10-31)
+ * Added code to test the slave command "select_sub" (see
+ http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-dev-eng/2007-October/054651.html)
+ The code is disabled by default. To activate it set USE_SELECT_SUB to 1 in
+ config.h.
+
+(2007-10-30)
+ * Changed the layout of some sections in preferences to make them smaller.
+
+(2007-10-29)
+ * (Experimental) Enable or disable some actions according to the current state.
+ For example, the audio actions should be disabled if the file has no audio
+ track.
+ * (Fix) The time slider goes to 0 if the user press stop twice.
+
+(2007-10-26)
+ * (Internal change) Renamed font_textscale in preferences to initial_sub_scale.
+ * Assigned the new actions to change font size to the keys Shift+R (Size-) and
+ Shift+T (Size+).
+ * (Experimental) Now it's possible to dock the playlist on the left and right
+ sides of the main window.
+
+(2007-10-25)
+ * Now the -nostop-xscreensaver option is passed to mplayer if the screensaver
+ is not to be disabled.
+ * Added two new options for the subtitle menu: Size+ and Size-. They change
+ the subtitle size. This also changes the meaning of the Scale setting in
+ Preferences->Subtitles, it specifies now the default subtitle size for
+ new videos.
+ These new options use the new mplayer slave command sub_scale, so changing
+ the size won't require to restart mplayer. Unfortunately this doesn't work
+ with the SSA/ASS lib, in this case mplayer will be restarted.
+ If you use an old version of mplayer which doesn't have the sub_scale
+ slave command, you need to set to "true" the following option in the
+ config file: change_sub_scale_requires_restart
+
+(2007-10-22)
+ * Reorganized the layout of Preferences->Subtitles.
+ * Preferences->Keyboard and mouse: the list of available actions for mouse
+ buttons has been reduced. Only the most useful for mouse buttons are there.
+ * Now the middle click button is also configurable. The default action is
+ mute.
+ * Now the default icon theme is Nuvola.
+ * Added two new options in Preferences->Performance for H.264 videos:
+ Skip loop filter (the famous "-lavdopts skiploopfilter=all") and
+ Skip frames.
+ This may allow "slow" computers (like mine) to play H.264 HD videos,
+ although these options may produce a high quality loss. I prefer to scale
+ down a little bit the image (1024x576 or 768x432).
+
+(2007-10-21)
+ * Now the aspect ratio settings should work when using the mplayer own window.
+ Note: the option "Autodetect" may not work correctly in this case.
+
+(2007-10-19)
+ * Updated the Polish translation.
+ * Improved layout of section "Preferred audio & subtitles" in
+ Preferences->General.
+
+(2007-10-18)
+ * (Internal change) Don't use the pref object in mplayerwindow.
+ * Now the first track number for initial_subtitle_track and
+ initial_audio_track (in config) is 1, instead of 0, to make it more natural.
+ * Added in Preferences->General options to choose the initial audio &
+ subtitle tracks.
+
+(2007-10-17)
+ * Added a 2nd patch by LoRd_MuldeR for winfileassoc.cpp.
+ * Added a work-around for a problem which prevents to use the arrow keys
+ for shortcuts when using Simplified-Chinese.
+
+(2007-10-15)
+ * Added clean_windows.bat, which deletes the compilation files.
+ * Now the settings for played files will be saved in an independent file:
+ ~/.smplayer/smplayer_files.ini (or under the directory set in -ini-path).
+
+(2007-10-14)
+ * Added patch by LoRd_MuldeR for prefassociations.cpp and winfileassoc.cpp to
+ make the file associations code compatible with SetFileAssoc.exe. It also
+ adds an "Enqueue in SMPlayer" for the context menu. Not tested yet.
+ * Disable compact mode when the video window is hidden (playing an audio
+ file or using the mplayer window). I think this fixes bug #1812952.
+ * New option for the config file: allow_video_movement. If true the video
+ can be moved (Alt+cursors) even if not using zoom.
+
+(2007-10-13)
+ * Updated the Ukrainian translation.
+
+(2007-10-10)
+ * Updated the Slovak translation.
+
+
+[b]Version 0.5.61[/b]:
+
+(2007-10-08)
+ * Updated the Polish translation.
+ * Added new icon (pref_associations.png).
+ * Not compiling prefassociations and winfileassoc in linux, as they won't be
+ used, to save some bytes and some secs of compilation.
+ * Added *.ape to the list of audio files.
+
+(2007-10-07)
+ * (Windows) Added a new section in Preferences to associate file types with
+ SMPlayer. Patch by Florin Braghis (florin@libertv.ro).
+
+(2007-10-06)
+ * Updated the Polish translation.
+ * Added two new options for the configuration file, in section [defaults]:
+ initial_audio_track and initial_subtitle_track. When a new file is played
+ the values of these options will be used to select the audio and subtitle
+ tracks. The first track is 0 (not 1). If the value is wrong, the first
+ track will be used. The default value for both options is 0.
+ Note: the "Preferred audio and subtitles" in Preferences->General will have
+ preference over these options.
+ * Added "Arabic (CP1256)" to the list of encodings for subtitles.
+
+(2007-10-05)
+ * Now the icon for Windows (smplayer.ico) is bigger (48x48).
+ * Updated the Chinese (zh_CN) translation.
+ * Commented code to use an intermediate program for mplayer, 'cos it doesn't
+ work at all.
+ * Added new option for command line: -no-close-at-end, which is the opposite
+ of -close-at-end.
+ * Added two new options for command line: -fullscreen and -no-fullscreen.
+ -fullscreen will play the video in fullscreen mode, while -no-fullscreen
+ will play it in window mode. For simplification these options just modify
+ the option "Start videos in fullscreen" in Preferences->General->Video and
+ audio.
+
+(2007-10-04)
+ * Added some code to use an intermediate program for mplayer, when using
+ Windows 98 and ME. Not tested yet. (Written in linux)
+
+(2007-10-02)
+ * Ported to Qt 4 the old code to handle subtitles. It seems we may need it.
+
+(2007-10-01)
+ * Added a work-around to try to fix a problem in windows. When using gl/gl2,
+ minimize the window, when restored the video is black. The only fix I
+ found until now is to restart mplayer.
+ * Try to keep the video paused when changing volume. It doesn't work well
+ because of limitations of mplayer.
+ * Small fix: don't use the screenshot filter if the screenshot directory
+ entered by the user is not a real directory.
+
+(2007-09-30)
+ * Updated the German translation.
+ * Added USE_MULTIPLE_SHORTCUTS in config.h to enable or disable the new
+ code for multiple shortcuts (enabled by default).
+ * Deleted the actions inc_volume2 and dec_volume2 as now they are not
+ necessary. Their shortcuts are now in increase_volume and decrease_volume.
+ * Activated again the new resize code.
+
+(2007-09-28)
+ * Now actions can have multiple shortcuts. That means that you can assign
+ several keys for the same action. To do this, in the "modify shortcut"
+ dialog in the actions editor, disable the "Capture" button and then
+ enter the keys names separated by commas. For example: "Space, A" (will
+ activate the action when pressed Space or A), "F, Ctrl+F, W" (will
+ activate the action when pressed F or Ctrl+F or W).
+ Note 1: the menus (and tooltips) will only show the first shortcut.
+ Note 2: the actions editor won't be able to detect conflicts when entered
+ shortcuts this way. In case of a conflict (the same key assigned to
+ several actions) the key won't work.
+
+(2007-09-27)
+ * Updated the Polish translation.
+
+(2007-09-26)
+ * Updated the Polish translation.
+ * Now if a smplayer.ini is found on the application directory, it will be
+ used to read and save the configuration (unless -ini-path is used).
+ * Now -ini-path requires a directory. -ini-path alone will fail and report
+ an error.
+
+(2007-09-25)
+ * Updated the Hungarian translation.
+ * Bugfix: Drag&drop didn't work with *.part files, as the extension
+ matched with a subtitle extension (*.rt), so it was tried to be loaded
+ as a subtitle.
+ * Added help messages for all options in Preferences->General.
+ * Updated the Dutch and Polish translations.
+ * Added help messages for all options in Preferences->Performance.
+ * Added help messages for all options in Preferences->Keyboard and mouse.
+ * Updated the Spanish translation.
+
+(2007-09-23)
+ * Updated the Romanian translation.
+ * Added *.ra to the list of audio files. This fixes bug #1799930.
+ * Translated into Spanish the help texts I took from the mplayer manpage
+ (in fact I've just took the translations from the Spanish translation of
+ the manpage)
+
+(2007-09-20)
+ * Updated the Ukrainian translation.
+ * Added new option for command line: -add-to-playlist. If another instance
+ of smplayer is found, the specified files will be added to that instance's
+ playlist (nothing more will be done). If no other instance is found,
+ this option won't do anything, the specified files will be opened as usual
+ in a new instance.
+ * Removed the option Audio->Channels->Default, as the mplayer default
+ is stereo.
+
+(2007-09-19)
+ * Fix: Don't try to connect in main.cpp to another running instance if
+ the single instance is disabled! That also means that the command line
+ option -send-action won't work in that case.
+
+
+[b]Version 0.5.60[/b]:
+ * Updated the Japanese and French translations.
+
+(2007-09-19)
+ * Updated the German translation.
+ * (Windows) Maybe a fix to avoid the video to pause when entering in
+ fullscreen and the option "Pause when minimized" is enabled. Not tested
+ yet.
+
+(2007-09-18)
+ * The playlist will be floating as default.
+ * (By user request) Added the option "Pause when minimized" in Preferences->
+ General. If checked, the current file will be paused when the main window
+ is hidden. When the main window is visible again play will resume.
+ Currently it has two problems: if the file was already paused before
+ hiding, smplayer won't remember it so when the main window is made visible
+ the file will be played. And this setting also affects audio files, which
+ maybe is not appropriate.
+ * Updated the Polish translation.
+
+(2007-09-16)
+ * Replaced the QAction's activated() signal with triggered(). Now smplayer
+ runs without warnings in kubuntu with Qt 4.3. And I think now the port to
+ Qt 4 has really finished.
+ Anyway this is a delicated change, a small mistake and something could stop
+ working.
+ * Updated the Hungarian translation.
+
+(2007-09-15)
+ * The script create_deb.sh changes the debian changelog so the SVN revision
+ number is added to the generated *.deb file.
+ * Added new option "Channels by default" in Preferences->General->Audio.
+ * BTW, now the initial_* options in preferences are stored in its own
+ section "[default]" in the config file.
+
+(2007-09-14)
+ * Added a small program (getrev) to extract the SVN revision number. Intended
+ for Windows, where the script get_svn_revision.sh doesn't work.
+ * Compiling as default the old code to resize the main window, as it has been
+ reported that the new one doesn't work on some systems.
+
+(2007-09-13)
+ * Updated the Ukrainian, German and Japanese translations.
+ * Now version.cpp returns the svn revision number.
+
+[b]Version 0.5.59[/b]
+ * Updated the Ukrainian translation.
+ * Bugfix: when passing only one file through command line, the file wasn't
+ added to the playlist.
+ * Added support for right to left languages. The arrow icons are reversed.
+ Has the play icon to be reversed too? I've done, but I'm not sure.
+ Unfortunately the jump-where-clicked feature in time (and volume) slider
+ doesn't work well with RTL layout, so it's disabled in that case.
+ If you want to take a look, run "smplayer -reverse".
+ * By user request, added the total time in the floating control.
+
+[b]Version 0.5.58[/b]
+ * Updated the Polish, Ukrainian and German translations.
+ * I hope the problems in Windows with the new code to resize the main
+ window are fixed now.
+ * If the user selects the option to never resize the main window, the
+ main window won't be resized when the playlist is docked/undocked.
+ * The playlist is enabled again in fullscreen mode, although it will only
+ appear floating.
+ * Added dvr-ms to the list of extensions that the open dialog will show
+ for videos.
+ * Added an option in Preferences->Interface to change the default font of
+ the application.
+
+[b]Version 0.5.57[/b]
+ * Fixes in the window resize code. Now resizes should be much smoother.
+ Only if you do something that alter the size of the window, like moving
+ a toolbar or docking the playlist, could produce some flickering if
+ you later change the video size using any of the options in the menu
+ Video->Size. It also has to fix the problem that the window gets a very
+ small that happens in Windows (although I couldn't test it).
+ Of course this is in linux using Qt 4.2.3. Will it work on Windows with
+ Qt 4.3.1?
+ * Added the action "Toggle double size" in Video->Size.
+
+[b]Version 0.5.56[/b]
+ * Updated the French translation.
+ * Fixed regular expression in core.cpp to identify the DVD drive letter.
+ * Rewrite the code to automatically resize the main window.
+ * More fixes in the code to embed the playlist in the main window.
+ Now exiting fullscreen works ok, the playlist is restored where it was
+ before. There are still some minor issues.
+ In my computer (linux, Qt 4.2.3) it works quite well, so I enable again
+ the code by default. But... will it work on Windows and Qt 4.3.1?
+
+[b]Version 0.5.55[/b]
+ * Updated the Japanese, Polish, Ukrainian, German, Romanian and Dutch
+ translations.
+ * The trailing "/" in dvd device paths will be removed again, but not
+ if used with drive letters (E:/ for instance). It seems that sometimes
+ it's necessary to enter the drive that way in order to play a DVD.
+ * Fixed all deprecated warnings. Now smplayer can be compiled without
+ QT3_SUPPORT defined. Still using deprecated signals (for instance
+ for QActions) but I've got no warnings about them so it'll be
+ difficult to fix unless I compile Qt with no Qt3 support at all
+ (I guess).
+
+[b]Version 0.5.54[/b]
+ * Updated the German, Ukrainian and Romanian translations.
+ * Disabled again the playlist in main window as it has serious problems with
+ Qt 4.3.1 (at least in Windows).
+ * The trailing "/" in dvd device paths won't be removed. It seems that
+ sometimes it's necessary. But be carefully, Windows users, when playing a
+ dvd from a folder in the hard disc the path shouldn't end in "/", that
+ would make mplayer to fail.
+ * (By user request) Added "Video->Flip image" which flips the image
+ upside-down. This option will affect the current video only, it's not
+ a global option.
+ * Now you can move the toolbars wherever you want.
+ * Added the option "Create index if needed" in Preferences->Performance.
+ The option will pass -idx to mplayer. From mplayer manpage:
+ "Rebuilds index of files if no index was found, allowing seeking.
+ Useful with broken/incomplete downloads, or badly created files."
+
+[b]Version 0.5.53[/b]
+ * Some fixes in the code to add the file to play in the playlist.
+ * Some more improvements on the playlist embedded in the main window:
+ now the main window resizes when the playlist is docked/undocked.
+ It also remembers its state on startup.
+ For first time this code will be compiled as default so other people could
+ test it. Anyway there's two known issues: the main window doesn't resize
+ properly when playing an audio file (no video window) and the playlist
+ is undocked (maybe another Qt 4.2.3 bug?). And to avoid some problems when
+ exiting from fullscreen, the playlist is made floatable when entering in
+ fullscreen mode.
+ How to use it? The playlist will appear by default docked in the bottom area.
+ You can move it to the top area if you want, or make it floatable
+ by dragging it outside the window. You can dock it again by dragging the
+ playlist to the bottom or top areas of the main window (there's also
+ a button in the title bar for this).
+ * Added a help message about the option "It's a playlist" in Open->URL.
+
+[b]Version 0.5.52[/b]
+ * Updated the Russian translation.
+ * Fix in the open URL dialog: the text should be selected now.
+ * Fix for Qt 4.3.1 under Windows: after playing an audio file the video window
+ didn't show when playing a video.
+ * Experimental: add file to be opened in the playlist (deleting the whole
+ playlist first). This prevents that when a file finishes, an item from an
+ old playlist starts to play.
+ * Added a context menu for when clicking on a toolbar.
+
+[b]Version 0.5.51[/b]
+ * Updated the Chinese (zh_CN), French, Romanian, German, Ukrainian and
+ Polish translations.
+ * By mistake, the new option "close when finish" was enabled by default.
+ Now that option will be disabled by default.
+ * (Windows) When using Qt 4.3, inforeader fails, it can't read the output
+ of mplayer. That means there won't be info about the codecs, demuxers,
+ output drivers... I don't know why that happens, but disabling redirection
+ of the mplayer output to a temporary file makes it to work again.
+ I also realized that QProcess in Qt 4.3 works much better, so it's not
+ necessary to send the mplayer output to a temporary file. So now if
+ compiled with Qt 4.3 it won't use temporary files, fixing the problem with
+ inforeader. Still there's a problem, if compiled with Qt 4.2.3 but using
+ the Qt 4.3 dll's, the problem will still be present. Unless...
+ * Now inforeader uses QProcess (not myprocess), so now it shouldn't be
+ affected by the problem metioned before.
+ * It doesn't try to create the app home directory ($HOME/.smplayer) if
+ -ini-path is used.
+
+[b]Version 0.5.50[/b]
+ * Updated the German, Ukrainian and Japanese translations.
+ * I hope, fixed a problem with the playlist actions not showing (or
+ appearing duplicated) in the actions editor. Now it works ok with Qt 4.2.3
+ but I won't be sure the problem is really fixed until I test it with Qt 4.3.
+ * Added the option Subtitles->Use SSA/ASS library, to make easy to enable
+ or disable the use of the ass lib without having to open the
+ preferences dialog.
+ * Added new option in Preferences->General: Close when finished. If checked,
+ the main window will be closed when the current file/playlist finishes.
+ Now the command line option -close-at-end just will enable that option.
+ * Added shortcuts in the Preferences->Subtitles dialog.
+
+[b]Version 0.5.49[/b]
+ * Updated the Polish and Ukrainian translations.
+ * Fixed warnings about using deprecated setBackgroundColor.
+ * Renamed command line option -action to -send-action. This option will
+ try to send the specified action to another running instance of smplayer,
+ after that it will quit.
+ * Added a new option for command line: -actions. As opposite to -send-action,
+ this option will run the actions in the same instance. There could be
+ several actions, separated by spaces (and enclosed in quotes). Examples:
+ [i]smplayer video.avi -actions fullscreen[/i] (the file video.avi will be
+ loaded, and just after that fullscreen mode will be toggled).
+ [i]smplayer video.avi -actions "extrastereo_filter on_top"[/i] (will load
+ the video, and then the extrastereo filter and the stay on top options
+ will be toggled.
+ "Toggled" means: if the option was previosly enabled now it will disabled
+ and vice versa. If you want to be sure that an option will be on or off
+ you can pass "true" or "false" as parameter:
+ [i]smplayer video.avi -actions "on_top true"[/i] (the option Video->Stay on
+ top will be checked, no matter the previous state).
+ [i]smplayer -actions "show_language_toolbar false"[/i] (will hide the
+ language toolbar)
+ Some actions are not checkable, like open_vcd, double_speed... In that case
+ you shouldn't use "true" or "false". But if you do it will be ignored.
+ If you make a mistake and enter an action that doesn't exists, you'll get
+ a warning (in the logs or in console) and it'll be ignored.
+
+[b]Version 0.5.48[/b]
+ * Updated the Russian and Japanese translations.
+ * Now smplayer will also look for icon themes in $HOME/.smplayer/themes.
+ In the case a theme is both in the user directory and the system directory
+ (usually /usr/share/smplayer/themes) it will look first in the user
+ directory. If the icon is not there then it will look in the system
+ directory.
+ * Under linux the buttons for color selection (Preferences->Subtitles) now
+ look better.
+
+[b]Version 0.5.47[/b]
+ * Updated the Russian, German, French and Romanian translations.
+ * Now the helping messages (for -help) are formated automatically by a
+ function, making easy to translate these messages. I apologize for
+ yesterday's madness. As compensation I have adapted myself the translations
+ I received today.
+ There's nothing more new in this version, but I release it so other
+ translators don't go crazy.
+
+[b]Version 0.5.46[/b]
+ * Added the option -playlist for command line. This option should be
+ prepended in front of a filename (URL or whatever). This option will make
+ mplayer to treat the file as a playlist. This option has nothing to do
+ with smplayer's playlist! In fact smplayer won't have any control over
+ the playlist at all. For smplayer it will just be like a single file.
+ * Added the option -help for command line. It will show a helping message.
+ BTW, the translators will have a challenge, as keeping the formating
+ is not easy. (Take a look at the Spanish translation).
+ * Added the option -close-at-end command line. The main window will be
+ closed when the file/playlist finishes.
+
+[b]Version 0.5.45[/b]
+ * Updated the Ukrainian and German translations.
+ * The playlist check in the open URL dialog works. If checked the option
+ -playlist will be added to the mplayer command line. (Internally some text
+ will be appended to the URL, so smplayer can recognize it. This may seem
+ ugly (and it is) but allows to add the URL to a playlist or to the recent
+ files menu, and it will still work).
+ * Added an icon to the open URL dialog (url_big.png).
+ * Added two options for the config file: [i]enable_audiocd_on_windows[/i] and
+ [i]enable_vcd_on_windows[/i]. It seems that mplayer on Windows doesn't have
+ support for VCDs and Audio CDs (at least not the build supplied with
+ smplayer). Setting these options to "true" will enable the entries in the
+ open menu.
+
+[b]Version 0.5.44[/b]
+ * Updated the Polish, German and French translations.
+ * When trying to stop a video, the mplayer process will be killed if it
+ doesn't finish within 3 seconds.
+ * New dialog to enter a URL (the playlist check doesn't work yet).
+ * Don't load actions from playlist to the actions' editor as it seems
+ they are already there from the main window (in Qt 4.3 they appear twice).
+
+[b]Version 0.5.43[/b]
+ * Updated the Italian translation.
+ * Small fix for Windows in the fullscreen code.
+ * Removed the "&" characters in the description of the actions in the
+ actions' editor.
+ * Using less deprecated functions.
+
+[b]Version 0.5.42[/b]
+ * Serious bug: a lot of actions were missing in the actions' editor. Fixed.
+ * More improvements with the playlist embedded in the main window: now it
+ should be properly hidden/shown when toggling compact and fullscreen mode,
+ and when clicking on the systray icon. Also the playlist button in toolbar
+ (and menu) should be updated when the playlist is closed by clicking
+ on its close button. But you'll see that now the main window is not
+ resized when the playlist is shown or hidden. I left this problem for the
+ end (it's not trivial). Anyway you can press CTRL-1 to force a resize.
+ This code is not compiled by default yet. If you want to see it,
+ change the value of DOCK_PLAYLIST to 1 in config.h before compiling.
+
+[b]Version 0.5.41[/b]
+ * Updated the Ukrainian and Russian translations.
+ * Fixed the problem with the Video->Size menu. All options will work now
+ no matter of the previous selection.
+ * Some changes in Install.txt, just to mark some obsolete sections and
+ make clear that it can only be compiled with Qt >= 4.2.
+
+[b]Version 0.5.40[/b]
+ * Ported to Qt 4. Easy to say but it took almost 2 months, and it's not
+ completely finished yet (still using some deprecated functions).
+
+ Some other changes since version 0.5.21 (for details read the Porting_log):
+
+ * Now the option "Don't repaint the video background" is checked by default
+ in linux.
+ * Created the file create_deb.sh, specially for Ubunty users. If you run it,
+ it would create a deb package.
+ * Added a bat file (compile_windows.bat) to make easier the compilation in
+ windows.
+ * New button in the preferences dialog: Help. It will display some help
+ about the options in the current section.
+ * Now the configuration file will be in $HOME/.smplayer/smplayer.ini and
+ $HOME/.smplayer/screenshots will be used as the default directory to
+ save the screenshots.
+ * Bug fix: now the info about the demuxer, audio and video codec are updated
+ after a restart of the mplayer process.
+ * Fix: now reading the info about video, audio drivers, codecs and demuxers
+ is done in a language independent way (it looks for tags like
+ "ID_VIDEO_OUTPUTS" instead of English text).
+ * Now changing a key shortcut in the actions' editor is much easier. Now you
+ double click or press enter on a shortcut (you can do it in any column)
+ and a dialog will appear to ask you for the new shortcut. In this dialog
+ you press the key or combination of keys that you want to assign to the
+ shortcut. If you want to delete, just click on the Clear button.
+ Note: this has been done by using some code from Edyuk
+ (http://www.edyuk.org)
+ * By user request: added a new option in Preferences->Interface:
+ Change volume on every file. If checked SMPlayer will remember the
+ volume of every file, and will be restored when played again. For new
+ files the default volume will be used. That was the normal behavior until
+ now. The new thing is if you uncheck it. In this case SMPlayer will never
+ change the volume when a file is loaded. Problem: on startup SMPlayer
+ won't know the current volume value, the volume slider will be wrong.
+ * New option for command line that I think it could be very useful: -action
+ This option passes the specified action to an already running instance.
+ For instance, you're watching a video in smplayer, then you type:
+ [i]smplayer -action pause[/i] and the video will be paused.
+ [i]smplayer -action fullscreen[/i] will toggle the video to fullscreen.
+ This will allow to control smplayer with a remote control.
+ You can see a list of all available actions in "Preferences->Keyboard and
+ mouse". Under the "Name" column in the shortcut editor you've got all
+ action's names.
+ When using -action all other parameters (except ini-path) are ignored.
+ So it you want to open a movie and enter in fullscreen, this is NOT valid:
+ [i]smplayer movie.avi -action fullscreen[/i]
+ But you can do it in two steps:
+ [i]smplayer movie.avi[/i]
+ [i]smplayer -action fullscreen[/i]
+ The exit code will be 0 if the -action option is successful and -1
+ if there's an error.
+ * In Windows, along with the screensaver, the monitor power off will be
+ disabled too.
+ * (By user request) Added a new option in Preferences->Interface:
+ "Remember position and size" (of the main window). Checked by default.
+ * (By user request) Added two new optins in Preferences->General->Video & audio:
+ "Direct rendering" and "Double buffering".
+ * Changed the behavior of "Use postprocessing" and "Volume normalization"
+ in Preferences->General. Previously if you check "Use postprocessing" for
+ instance, then all videos will use postprocessing, no matter of the
+ setting in Video->Filter->Postprocessing. Now this specifies the
+ default setting for new videos. If checked, all new videos you open
+ will have the option Video->Filter->Postprocessing enabled but you
+ [b]can[/b] disable it if you want. Previously this wasn't possible.
+ I think this behavior is more consistent.
+ * Almost all options in menus can have a shortcut.
+ * Now the maximum value for volume is 100 instead of 99.
+ * Recent files menu: now if the list is empty the submenu won't appear.
+ You can also set the max. number of items in the list to 0 in
+ Preferences->Interface.
+ * Compilation time has been reduced.
+
+[b]Version 0.5.21[/b]
+ * Updated the Brazilian Portuguese translation.
+ * Moved the video and audio sections in Preferences->General to a new
+ tab, and moved also the font section in Subtitles to another tab, to
+ try to make the preferences dialog smaller.
+
+[b]Version 0.5.20[/b]
+ * Updated the German, Ukrainian, Portuguese and Romanian translations.
+ * Now it will exit from compact mode before playing an audio file. Otherwise
+ the GUI would not have any menus or buttons at all.
+ * Temporary fix: in playlist, the latest_dir won't be changed when adding
+ multiple files, to avoid that wrong paths with dvd:, vcd:... could be
+ used.
+
+[b]Version 0.5.19[/b]
+ * Updated the German and Polish translations.
+ * (Windows) The priority of the SMPlayer process is changed accordingly
+ to the priority of MPlayer (SMPlayer will try to run with higher priority).
+ Note: not much tested.
+ * As a lot of people have complained, I changed "Brazilian Portuguese" and
+ "Portuguese from Portugal" to "Portuguese - Brazil" and
+ "Portuguese - Portugal".
+
+[b]Version 0.5.18[/b]
+ * Updated the Russian translation.
+ * Added support for audio CDs (only tested with one disc) so please
+ test yourself and report problems. Test also if VCD and DVD still work
+ properly.
+ Note: I don't know if this option will work on Windows, I never
+ could play an audio CD with the Windows version of MPlayer.
+
+[b]Version 0.5.17[/b]
+ * Updated the Brazilian Portuguese, Slovak, Ukrainian, German and
+ Portuguese from Portugal translations.
+ * Now QCoreApplication::arguments () will be used to read the arguments from
+ command line if Qt > 4.1. On NT-based Windows this should allow the program
+ to get the right characters if the filename contains characters from other
+ alphabets.
+
+[b]Version 0.5.16[/b]
+ * Updated the Ukrainian and Polish translations.
+ * Added two new translations: Romanian and Portuguese from Portugal.
+
+[b]Version 0.5.15[/b]
+ * Updated the Russian, Italian, Swedish, German, Ukrainian, Polish and
+ Simplified-Chinese translations.
+ * (By user request) Added an option in Preferences->General to enable the
+ postprocessing filter for all videos.
+
+[b]Version 0.5.14[/b]
+ * Updated the Swedish, Ukrainian and Polish translations.
+ * I think for volume normalization it's best to have a global option, so
+ I added a volume normalization option in Preferences->General. If checked
+ the volnorm filter will be used for all files.
+ * Added an option in Preferences->General to set the maximum amplification
+ level for softvol. By default 110. Valid range 10-10000.
+
+[b]Version 0.5.13[/b]
+ * Updated the Ukrainian, German and Polish translations.
+ * (By user request) Now the mouse wheel can be configured to zoom the video
+ (Preferences->Keyboard and mouse->Mouse).
+ Note: compatibility couldn't be kept, if you have previosly changed the
+ behavior of the mouse wheel you'll need to change it again.
+ * Now the options in the menu Video->Size will always be executed even if the
+ option is already selected. Useful if you resized the window. Also added
+ shortcuts for Size->100% and Size->200% (Ctrl+1 and Ctrl+2) and I'm very
+ sorry but these shortcuts can't be changed (and these shortcuts will only
+ work if the menu is visible).
+ * (By user request) Added the option Audio->Filters->Volume normalization.
+ Note: this option only affects the current file, if you want the filter
+ to be used for all files add "volnorm" to the audio filters field in
+ Preferences->Advanced.
+ * (By user request) Clicking in the system tray icon with the mouse middle
+ button pauses/unpauses the file.
+ * Now tooltips for QActions are explicitly created, to try to work around
+ a bug in Qt 4.3.
+
+[b]Version 0.5.12[/b]
+ * Updated the Swedish, German and Ukrainian translations (although changes
+ I've just made could have broken them...)
+ * Reorganized a little bit the preferences dialog, by using several tab
+ widgets. This prevents that sections grow to much.
+ * Better explained the "MPlayer language" section (I hope) and added
+ regular expressions for Spanish, Italian, German and French in the
+ comboboxes, taken from the MPlayer translation files (completely
+ untested!).
+
+[b]Version 0.5.11[/b]
+ * Updated the Ukrainian and German translations.
+ * Shortcuts for previous and next items in playlist didn't work in main
+ window. Fixed.
+ * Added an option in Preferences->Subtitles to use the new -subfont option
+ in MPlayer. In the future SMPlayer will try to autodetect when this option
+ is needed.
+ * Added in Preferences a new section: MPlayer language, where the user can
+ change some of the texts that SMPlayer looks for. Intended in case that
+ MPlayer displays its messages in another language. (Unfortunately MPlayer
+ can't change language at runtime).
+
+[b]Version 0.5.10[/b]
+ * Moved the denoise submenu inside the video filter menu.
+ * (By user request) Added the option "AC3/DTS pass-through S/PDIF" in
+ Preferences->General. It will simply add "-afm hwac3" to the command line.
+ * Renamed "Yadif (mode 0)" to "Yadif (normal)", and "Yadif (mode 1)" to
+ "Yadif (double framerate)".
+
+[b]Version 0.5.9[/b]
+ * Updated the Swedish, German, Ukrainian and Polish translations.
+ * The application was probably getting the wrong screen resolution if
+ a virtual desktop was enabled. I hope this is fixed now.
+
+[b]Version 0.5.8[/b]
+ * Updated the Italian, Simplified-Chinese and Swedish translations.
+ * Added two new options in the Video->Deinterlace menu: kerndeint and
+ yadif (mode 1). The latter option should give a much more fluid motion than
+ the normal yadif option, but you need a really fast computer, as this
+ option uses a lot of CPU.
+ Some videos require to change the field dominance to work properly, so an
+ option for this will be added in the future. Meanwhile you can pass the
+ option -field-dominance to mplayer if you need it.
+
+[b]Version 0.5.7[/b]
+ * Added *.ac3 to the list of audio filters in the open dialogs.
+ * On startup, if the previous height of the window is less than 200, then
+ the window is resized to the default size.
+ * Updated the Polish and German translations.
+ * Updated the instructions to make a deb package in Install.txt.
+
+[b]Version 0.5.6[/b]
+ * Updated the German and Ukrainian translations.
+ * Changed the buttons in the floating control from QPushButtons to
+ QToolButtons.
+ * Added an option in Preferences to enable or disable the cache.
+ (Cache could be disabled by setting it to 0, but this is clearer).
+ The cache is [b]disabled[/b] by default, as it seems this option
+ causes some trouble with some video formats. As a side effect now
+ videos start to play faster.
+
+[b]Version 0.5.5[/b]
+ * Added in the audio menu an option to load an external audio file (and
+ another one to unload it). This allows to watch movies on which the
+ audio track is in an external file (mp3, wav...).
+ Note: if you play the movie again later, you'll see two audio tracks
+ in the menus (the original one, and the external one), but changing
+ tracks doesn't work. Strange things may happen if you do it.
+ * Added the option "dont_use_eq_options" in the config file, ([preferences]
+ section). If set to true, smplayer won't pass the options -brightness,
+ -contrast, -hue, and -saturation to mplayer. It seems that some graphic
+ cards don't support them or have some kind of problem with them.
+ * Updated the German translation.
+ * Added an empty icon for gamma (to prevent this slider to be higher than the
+ rest).
+
+[b]Version 0.5.4[/b]
+ * The size of the floating control can be changed, editing the config file.
+ Option floating_control_width under the [default_gui] section. The value
+ is a percentage (100 = all screen width, 50 = half of the screen width).
+ By default, 100.
+ * The size and position of the main window will be remembered.
+ * (Qt 4) The balloon that remembers you that the program is already running
+ in the system tray will be shown only 5 times.
+
+[b]Version 0.5.3[/b]
+ * Updated the Polish and Russian translations.
+ * New fullscreen control widget, smaller than the previous one. If using Qt 4
+ it's better not to use the CleanLooks style, its buttons are huge and look
+ awful in this widget.
+ * Fixed bug #1729705 (I hope). This has required a lot of changes, so other
+ bugs may appear.
+
+[b]Version 0.5.2[/b]
+ * Updated the German and Ukrainian translations.
+ * (Qt 4) Option Open->Close, now it exits from fullscreen mode before closing
+ the window.
+ * Now most options in the subtitle menu are disabled if there's none subtitle
+ selected.
+ * If the option Play->Repeat is enabled, files will start to play from
+ the beginning.
+ * (By user request) Now it's possible to choose the path of the ini file.
+ This is done by the -ini-path command line option. Example:
+ smplayer -ini-path /tmp
+ will try to read the configuration from /tmp/smplayer.ini.
+ The path is optional, if none is passed then it will use the application
+ path, so "smplayer -ini-path" will read the configuration from smplayer.ini
+ in the application path.
+ This feature requires Qt 4. The option -ini-path (and the optional argument)
+ will be ignored if compiled with Qt 3. This option won't work either with
+ KDE support (and in this case you'll get an error if you try to use the
+ -ini-path option).
+ * Assigned the keys F5 and F6 for show_main_toolbar and show_language_toolbar,
+ and updated shortcuts/default.keys with the new keys.
+
+[b]Version 0.5.1[/b]
+ * Updated the Traditional Chinese and Bulgarian translations.
+ * Now the title bar shows "file name - SMPlayer", instead of
+ "SMPlayer - file name".
+ * MPlayer can be compiled to display its texts in another language, but
+ SMPlayer requires the texts to be in English. Unfortunately it's not
+ possible to change the MPlayer language without recompiling. This is a
+ problem. As a work-around I've made some of the internal regular expressions
+ configurable (by editing the config file).
+ rx_endoffile should specify the text that MPlayer outputs when a file has
+ arrived to the end (by default "^Exiting... \\(End of file\\)"). If SMPlayer
+ fails to catch this text, the playlist won't work properly.
+ rx_novideo should specify the text that MPlayer outputs when a file has
+ no video, by default "^Video: no video". If SMPlayer fails to catch this
+ text, the video window won't be hidden when playing sound files.
+ There are other English texts which SMPlayer looks for, but they are far
+ less important (most of them are just simply displayed on the status bar).
+ * (By user request) Created an action to change the window from normal size
+ to double size and vice versa (this new action doesn't appear in any of the
+ menus, it's handled by a key shortcut, by default CTRL+D).
+ The best way would be to add key shortcuts to all Video->Size suboptions,
+ but it's not possible for the moment (I actually can add shortcuts but
+ they won't be configurable).
+ * It seems that it's not a good idea to have the debian subdirectory in the
+ sources, as it can conflict with the one made by package maintainers.
+ As a quick solution, for now I've just renamed it to debian-rvm. If you want
+ to create a deb package with dpkg-buildpackage, just rename it back to
+ debian.
+
+[b]Version 0.5.0[/b]
+ * Updated the Italian, German and Ukrainian translations.
+
+[b]Version 0.4.30[/b]
+ * Updated the Japanese and Serbian translations.
+ * Added the Traditional Chinese translation.
+ * debian/control: now depends on mplayer | mplayer-nogui
+ * Install.txt: explained how to create a deb package.
+
+[b]Version 0.4.29[/b]
+ * Fixed bug #1725272 (the LCD in the floating control didn't show the hours).
+ * Added the debian subdirectory (created in a kubuntu 7.04). This way it's
+ possible to create a deb package.
+ * Updated the German and Ukrainian translations.
+
+[b]Version 0.4.28[/b]
+ * Written the documents Install.txt and Release_notes.txt, and updated
+ Readme.txt.
+ * Updated the Polish translation.
+ * Added the Serbian translation.
+
+[b]Version 0.4.27[/b]
+ * Applied patch to fix bug #1703280.
+ * Now the tooltip in the system tray icon should display the same as the window
+ title.
+
+[b]Version 0.4.26[/b]
+ * Updated the Ukrainian, German, Polish, Dutch, Chinese and Turkish
+ translations.
+
+[b]Version 0.4.25[/b]
+ * Not providing a default for SSA/ASS style override, as this setting may
+ affect real SSA/ASS subtitles. Added a "whatsthis" help for this field.
+ * Now DESTDIR is used in the Makefile to select the installation directory,
+ and changed the smplayer.spec to use it.
+ * Updated the Ukrainian and German translations.
+
+[b]Version 0.4.24[/b]
+ * Updated the Italian and Polish translations.
+ * Added support for SSA/ASS style override (-ass-force-style option in
+ mplayer). As there are a lot of options for styles, I just simply added a
+ line edit so you can enter the styles you want. This option may be very
+ useful with srt/sub files when using the SSA/ASS library, as subtitles may
+ look much nicer.
+ By default, it will use "Bold=1,Outline=2,Shadow=2" which provides a
+ nice black shadow.
+ Info about these styles can be found at:
+ http://www.perlfu.co.uk/projects/asa/ass-specs.doc (look at chapter 5)
+
+[b]Version 0.4.23[/b]
+ * Updated the Turkish, German, Ukrainian, Swedish and Polish translations.
+ * Moved all translations to a subdir: src/translations.
+ And if TRANSLATION_PATH is not defined on compilation, smplayer will look
+ for translations in application_path/translations/ (this is intended for
+ Windows).
+ * Changed the default colorkey to 0x020202 (this really was the old colorkey).
+ * Made the colorkey field in preferences editable, so there's two ways to
+ set the colorkey: typing it yourself or selecting a color in the color
+ dialog. Warning: currently no check is performed on the typed value. If
+ the value is invalid it would return 0 (black).
+ The value must be in hexadecimal, this way: #RRGGBB, where RR, GG
+ and BB are the red, green and blue components of the color.
+
+[b]Version 0.4.22[/b]
+ * Updated the German translation.
+ * (Playlist) After removing the selected items, it tries to keep the cursor
+ on the same row it was before (previosly the cursor was always moved to
+ the 1st row).
+ * Made the rest of actions translatable.
+ * Added an option in the preferences dialog (subtitles tab) to select the
+ default position of the subtitles. 100 means the bottom of the video window
+ while 0 mean the top.
+ * The colorkey is configurable now. Preferences->Advanced.
+
+[b]Version 0.4.21[/b]
+ * Updated the Turkish translation.
+ * Parses the StreamTitle line from Shoutcast streams, and displays it in the
+ info window and title bar.
+
+[b]Version 0.4.20[/b]
+ * Updated the Japanese, Czech, Polish, Italian and Chinese translations.
+ * Floating control: don't assume that in fullscreen mode the screen starts
+ at 0x0 (it might be on a 2nd monitor). This may fix the problem on which the
+ floating control may show on the wrong monitor.
+ * Playlist: the playlist is now only marked as "modified" only when changed
+ by the user (and not when smplayer adds items to it, for instance, the
+ files loaded from command line).
+ * (By user request) New option in preferences (config file only):
+ initial_panscan_factor. It specifies the default zoom value all new videos
+ will have (by default 1.0).
+
+[b]Version 0.4.19[/b]
+ * Updated the German and Russian translations.
+ * Changed the colorkey. The one in 0.4.18 didn't work on Windows with
+ directx.
+ * Added a system tray icon if compiled with Qt 3 and KDE support.
+
+[b]Version 0.4.18[/b]
+ * Updated the Swedish, German and Ukrainian translations.
+ * Qt 4: now the time and volume sliders should work better. Previously
+ it wasn't easy to drag the slider's handle if it was bigger than usual.
+ Now the actual size of the handle is taken into account so dragging should
+ work as expected.
+
+[b]Version 0.4.17[/b]
+ * Updated the Ukrainian, German, Russian, Polish and Bulgarian translations.
+ * Added the Swedish translation.
+ * Now you can open several files through command line:
+ smplayer video1.avi video2.avi music.mp3
+ or
+ smplayer *.mp3
+ The first file will be opened by a function which is able to handle *.m3u
+ files and directories. The rest will simply be added to the playlist.
+ As this feature has required important changes, it might have introduced bugs.
+ Report if you notice something strange.
+ * Fixed a bug in the playlist. The first item played wasn't marked sometimes
+ as played.
+
+[b]Version 0.4.16[/b]
+ * Updated the Chinese and Russian translations.
+ * Added support for the sub_step command (in the Subtitles menu). This allow
+ you to move to the previous or next subtitle line in the subtitle files.
+ It can help you to synchronize the subtitles.
+ Note: this setting is not saved, reasons: 1) if you need to use these
+ options maybe it's because the subtitle file has a serious sinchronization
+ problem and you'll probably have to adjust the subtitles several times,
+ 2) it's not easy to do it.
+ * At last the "+10 seconds", "+1 minute"... options in the menus show the
+ actual time to jump (if you modified the default values in preferences).
+
+[b]Version 0.4.15[/b]
+ * Updated the Italian translation.
+ * Server commands: the playlist functions now work with Qt 4.
+ * The function of the mouse buttons are configurable again. With this smplayer
+ retrieves all functionality from 0.4.7.
+
+[b]Version 0.4.14[/b]
+ * Updated the Polish, Ukrainian and German translations.
+ * The function command in server should work again. If you don't know
+ what I'm talking about, do "telnet localhost 8000" (or the port configured
+ in preferences) and type "list functions". This feature allows to control
+ smplayer remotely. Note: I've just realized that the playlist functions
+ currently don't work if using Qt 4.
+
+[b]Version 0.4.13[/b]
+ * Updated the German, Russian and Chinese translations.
+ * Added the Turkish translation.
+ * Actions editor: checking for conflicts, now it will only beep due to
+ conflicts after editing a shortcut. This prevents beeps when entering
+ in the preferences dialog, which can be confuse for the user.
+ * Actions editor: now it will display error message if the key shortcut
+ file can't be saved or loaded.
+ * Actions editor: Shortcuts are shown left aligned.
+ * I spent some time writing a widget which would allow to enter a shortcut
+ just pressing the key (or combination of keys), instead of typing it.
+ I took some code from qt-3 designer, and yes, it works pretty well.
+ But at the end I'm not using it... it doesn't work well with qt 4 (some
+ keys can't be entered, like Tab or the cursors). And moreover with qt 3
+ it isn't really possible to enter all keys. For instance with a Spanish
+ keyboard it seems impossible to enter the key ">".
+ But in case you want to try it yourself, edit the file actionseditor.cpp and
+ change the line
+ #define USE_KEYCHOOSER 0
+ to
+ #define USE_KEYCHOOSER 1
+
+[b]Version 0.4.12[/b]
+ * The actions editor is now in the preferences dialog.
+ * Now smplayer will look for icons in a directory named "themes" instead
+ of "icons" (defined with THEMES_PATH in Makefile). This is because in the
+ future there might be more things besides icons.
+ * smplayer will look for key shortcuts files in a directory named "shortcuts"
+ (SHORTCUTS_PATH in Makefile).
+ * Updated the German, Russian and Ukrainian translations.
+
+[b]Version 0.4.11[/b]
+ * Fixed a bug in actions editor: default shortcuts were lost on first run.
+ If you used 0.4.10 edit the config file and delete the [actions] section.
+ * More improvements in actions editor. Now it's possible to save the actions
+ to a external file, and load it. It also checks for conflicts (the same
+ shortcut assigned to other actions).
+ * Removed the src/icons directory. Icons will be in another package
+ (and current Makefile is broken, don't try "make install").
+
+[b]Version 0.4.10[/b]
+ * Actions editor: now the actions are saved and loaded to the config file.
+
+[b]Version 0.4.9[/b]
+ * Fixed a segfault when selected Open->Quit (Qt 4).
+ * Using UTF-8 for all QTextStreams in server.cpp and client.cpp.
+ * Updated the Russian, Ukrainian, Chinese, Polish, Dutch and Italian
+ translations.
+ * More improvements on the actions editor. Better code for Qt 4, and
+ now it shows the icon and name of the action, along with the description.
+ The actions editor is far to be finished so it's hidden. If you want to see
+ it, press G. You can change the shortcuts by double clicking in the
+ shortcuts cell. The new shortcuts you define will work for the current
+ session, but they won't be saved.
+
+[b]Version 0.4.8[/b]
+ * Updated the German translation.
+ * Using now QActions for all key shortcuts.
+ * Started to write the actions editor.
+
+[b]Version 0.4.7[/b]
+ * Updated the Polish, German, Ukrainian and Italian translations.
+ * As the panscan feature seems to work well, even in Windows, I added
+ a new submenu "Panscan" in the Video menu. The videos should also remember
+ the zoom value.
+
+[b]Version 0.4.6[/b]
+ * Experimental pan&scan feature. It's possible to move the video window
+ (left, right, up and down) and also zoom it. You increase zoom with key
+ "E" and decrease with "W". You can move the window with ALT + cursor keys.
+ This is experimental, just to test if this can be done. The settings
+ are not saved anywhere, in fact resizing the window resets all values
+ to the defaults.
+ Note: the zoom affects the OSD too, including subtitles.
+
+[b]Version 0.4.5[/b]
+ * The fix in 0.4.4 actually brokes smplayer on Windows. The video disappears
+ when the video is resized. So now this is an option that can be enabled
+ or disabled (Preferences->Advanced, Don't repaint the background of the
+ video window). This option is Off by default, as it works well in linux
+ with Qt 3 and on Windows with Qt 4. If you use Qt 4 on linux and have the
+ problem mentioned in the 0.4.4 changelog, you may check this option and see
+ if it helps.
+
+[b]Version 0.4.4[/b]
+ * Updated the Slovak, German, Ukrainian and Polish translations.
+ * A very important fix (at least for me). Now when the main window is
+ resized the video should not flicker at all (I made this specially for
+ Qt 4, where the flicker was very annoying, but at the end the result is
+ much better with Qt 3). The most important is that this fixes a repaint
+ problem with Qt 4. Sometimes the video window got black (totally or
+ partially) when closing another window (or menu) that was over it (I could
+ reproduce it by entering in the preferences dialog, and changing the
+ language).
+ I don't know if someone else had this problem (I didn't get any report
+ about it), but it happened to me and it was really annoying. Now this
+ is FIXED!!!
+
+[b]Version 0.4.3[/b]
+ * On startup the toolbars always appeared even if they were hidden in the
+ previous session. Fixed (I hope).
+ * Changes in playlist: now if the playlist has been changed, it will ask you
+ to save it before loading a another playlist. It will also ask you if
+ you try to open a dvd or vcd, because that clears the playlist.
+ It won't ask you when you close the application, because the current
+ playlist is saved to the config file and so it will retrieved on startup.
+ * Merged the info window and advanced file settings in one thing:
+ "View info & properties".
+ * Updated the German translation.
+
+[b]Version 0.4.2[/b]
+ * If in compact mode, on startup the toolbars were visible. Fixed.
+ * Some improvements on the playlist docked in the main window, but there
+ are still some issues. I'm afraid this can't be completely fixed until the
+ application is ported to Qt 4.
+
+[b]Version 0.4.1[/b]
+ * Updated the Chinese, Russian, Italian, German, Ukrainian and Polish
+ translations.
+ * Some options in menus didn't update the name after a language change. Fixed.
+ * Some improvements in the tray icon:
+ - If the main window is hidden, it will became visible just before playing
+ a video. Now this works too with the (playlist) next and previous options.
+ - The tray icon shows a tooltip with the name of the current file.
+ - Added two options to the context menu: playlist and preferences.
+ * The playlist saves to the config file the current playlist just before
+ quiting and loads again on startup.
+ * Renamed the Exit option to Close. If the system tray icon is not activated
+ then the Close option finishes the application. But if the system tray icon
+ is activated then it just hides it. The Quit option always finishes the
+ application, no matter if the tray icon is activated or not (the Quit
+ option doesn't show if Qt < 4.2).
+
+[b]Version 0.4.0[/b]
+ Initially version 0.4.0 was to be released once the key shortcuts were
+ configurable. But as it seems it still takes some time for that, and
+ considering that I've implemented some things actually planned for future
+ versions (VCD, system tray icon) I change to 0.4.0 now (even though I've just
+ implemented the system tray icon and it may have bugs).
+ Main objective for 0.5.0 is still configurable shortcuts, and I expect it to
+ be soon, very soon.
+
+ * More improvements in tray icon. Just test it. Remember that you need to
+ compile at least with Qt 4.2. I think this feature is now quite usable.
+ There's a known problem, though, the next and previous options in the
+ context menu don't force a show() in the main window. This is ok for music.
+ But if it's a video then the main window won't appear until you make
+ visible yourself.
+ * The main window only shows once on startup, that prevents that the main
+ window can be seen for a little moment without toolbars.
+ * The width of the floating control can be configured (for now just by
+ editing the configuration file, look for floating_control_width, the value is
+ the desired width in %, by default 75%).
+ * Now if you select Open->VCD and the cdrom device is not configured, a
+ warning will show and then the preferences dialog will open so you can
+ configure it.
+ * Disabled style switching again, because it crashes with Qt 4 (I find
+ Qt 4 more unstable than Qt 3...)
+ * Updated the Ukrainian and Bulgarian translations.
+
+[b]Version 0.3.45[/b]
+ * Updated the Ukrainian, German and Russian translations.
+ * Some improvements in the tray icon. Now it has a new context menu,
+ and it saves its state (mainly if the main window is visible or not)
+ to recover it on startup. Unfortunately it doesn't work well if the
+ single instance option is activated.
+ And if you click on the close button the application will hide but it
+ will still running in the tray.
+
+[b]Version 0.3.44[/b]
+ * Added the Bulgarian translation.
+ * Updated the Polish translation.
+ * Qt 4: Made the repaint of the mplayer window more or less like Qt 3.
+ At least this seems to fix some small cuts in the audio when resizing.
+ But still the window is getting black after changing the language in
+ preferences. I don't know why.
+ Report if you find problems with this (more flickering than before or
+ something).
+ * Started to implement the system tray icon. You need Qt 4.2 to see it.
+
+[b]Version 0.3.43[/b]
+ * Updated the Dutch translation.
+ * When DOCK_PLAYLIST is set 1, the playlist was always shown when exiting from
+ fullscreen, even if it was hidden previously. Fixed.
+ * Qt 4: now the time (and volume) slider go to the point you click on the bar.
+ * Windows: the playlist was always above the main window. This should be
+ fixed now. The VCD option in the Open menu is disabled, as mplayer in
+ Windows doesn't support VCDs yet. Anyway you can watch VCDs by opening the
+ *.dat files you'll see in the drive.
+ * STYLE_SWITCHING option in config.h activated by default now. This will
+ allow you to switch the Qt style at runtime (Preferences->Interface).
+ This option wasn't enabled by default because it seems it had some issues
+ (some colors might not be correct). Anyway I let you to test it.
+
+[b]Version 0.3.42[/b]
+ * VCD support has triggered a problem. If title #1 of a VCD (or DVD) can't
+ be played, the GUI doesn't get the info of the rest of titles (which
+ probably could be played). Now the application detects that case and
+ passes that info.
+ * Now when a VCD or DVD start to play, all titles are added to the playlist
+ (clearing all previous contents), so when a title finishes the next one
+ will be played.
+ * I think those 2 previous things can improve DVD support. Because it seems
+ that a lot of people got confused when the first title of a DVD didn't
+ play, even thinking that smplayer can't play DVDs at all. Now if the
+ first title fails the 2nd will be played. Anyway I couldn't test this,
+ because I don't have any DVD which first title doesn't play.
+ * Added the option vcd_initial_title for preferences (this is a config
+ option, it's not in the preferences dialog yet). It specifies the
+ title number which should be played when you select Open->VCD. By
+ default 2.
+ * And added support for VCDs in other parts of the code. For instance
+ the info window recognizes VCDs and displays a different icon for them.
+ Or you can play a VCD through command line: [i]smplayer vcd://3[/i] (will
+ play title #3), or just simply [i]smplayer vcd:[/i] (which is the same
+ as selecting Open->VCD).
+ * Now the option Video->Aspect ratio->Autodetect will use the aspect
+ ratio of the mplayer window, instead of the file aspect rato. That makes
+ that some filters could work better. (Anyway I don't know if this could have
+ any secondary effect...)
+ * Renamed the icon them Test as Oxygen.
+
+[b]Version 0.3.41[/b]
+ * Updated the Hungarian translation.
+ * Started the VCD stuff. Now you can play VCD's. But... to implement this
+ feature I used a VCD created by k3b with 2 videoclips. mplayer reports
+ that there are 3 titles in the disc. The first one can't be played
+ (maybe it has control info or something), but that makes that smplayer
+ doesn't get the info about available titles. To "fix" it smplayer will
+ start to play all VCDs from title 2 (instead of 1) but of course I'm not
+ sure if it is safe to assume that all discs (in mplayer) start at title 2.
+ So if you have a lot of VCDs, please test.
+ BTW, I think mplayer on Windows doesn't support VCDs...
+
+[b]Version 0.3.40[/b]
+ * Added a new icon theme "Silk" created by ilGaspa
+ (http://www.phpbbplanet.com/smplayer/viewtopic.php?t=116)
+ * Added another icon theme "MacLike", by Charles Barcza.
+ * Updated the Ukrainian and German translations.
+ * Qt 4: The video equalizer lost its icons everytime an icon theme change was
+ made. Fixed.
+ * It seems that drag&drop didn't work with filenames with non-latin1
+ characters if the drag was made from Konqueror. It seems the problem that
+ kde encodes the filenames using the current locale but Qt expects
+ to be in UTF-8. Now drag&drop from Konqueror should work but it's required
+ to compile smplayer with kde support.
+ Of course, if your system's encoding is UTF-8 then there's not problem at all.
+ * Tried to avoid the use of double slashes (/usr//share...) in paths.
+
+[b]Version 0.3.39[/b]
+ * Updated the Czech, Polish, French, German and Spanish translations.
+ * KDE support fixes: now the embedded icons should show again. Now you
+ can pass a filename to open from command line.
+ * Changes in Makefile. if "make KDE_SUPPORT=1" doesn't work for you,
+ edit the Makefile and change the kde paths.
+ You also can pass the paths through command line, example:
+ make KDE_SUPPORT=1 KDE_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/include/kde
+
+[b]Version 0.3.38[/b]
+ * Moved most of the single instance stuff to another class (CSManager). That
+ simplifies the BaseGui code.
+ * Fixed an old bug. If the server which smplayer tries to connect to
+ on startup doesn't respond anything, smplayer will wait and wait...
+ forever. Now it waits 4 seconds, after that smplayer starts and reports
+ to the user about the problem, and disables the single instance option.
+ * KDE dialogs: now the Qt filters are converted to the KDE format. Now
+ the KDE dialogs should work.
+ * Now you can compile smplayer with KDE support just by typing:
+ make KDE_SUPPORT=1
+ * Updated the Japanese, Russian and Czech translations.
+
+[b]Version 0.3.37[/b]
+ * Set the focus to video window after the user has selected an audio or
+ subtitle from the toolbar.
+ * Now the video should keep paused the when switching to fullscreen mode.
+ * Finally I could compile smplayer with kde support. Now smplayer can
+ show the kde open dialogs. But it seems that the filter parameter is not
+ fully compatible with the Qt dialogs, so some of the dialogs could be
+ useless. I'll try to fix it anyway. There are also other problems:
+ the embedded icons don't show, you'll have to use any other icon set.
+ And for some reason the application path is changed to /usr/bin so
+ smplayer could have problems finding its files.
+ If you want to test it, edit the smplayer.pro and look for "KDE_SUPPORT"
+ and uncomment the 3 lines (and change the kde paths...). I'll try to
+ make it easier in future releases. Ah, don't forget to compile with Qt 3.
+ * Updated the Polish translation.
+
+[b]Version 0.3.36[/b]
+ * Improved a little bit the new subtitles' code. If you're watching a
+ video with subtitles and you load a new subtitle file, smplayer will
+ try to keep using the same subtitle if it is still present (you may
+ think that it would better to select the subtitle from the file that
+ user has loaded, but it's impossible to know which one it is).
+ The same would happen if you unload the subtitle file, smplayer will
+ try to keep the previous selected subtitle, if it's one of the available
+ subtitles. If it's not, the none subtitle will be selected.
+ On the other hand, if you load a subtitle file to a video which didn't
+ have any subtitle, then smplayer may select one subtitle, according to
+ the preferences settings (if subtitle autoload is activated, it will
+ select the first one or the user's preferred language if found).
+ * Now you can drag directories to the playlist. It will add all files
+ in it (it's not recursive, it won't add files in subdirectories).
+ * Now you can open DVD iso files. Just simply select the *.iso file
+ in the Open->File dialog. You can also drag it to the main window or
+ playlist. The file must have the extension iso to be identified. If the
+ image has another extension there's another way to open it, select
+ Open->DVD from folder. This dialog will only allow you to choose a
+ directory but you can type after it the filename.
+ * Updated the German and Georgian translations.
+
+[b]Version 0.3.35[/b]
+ * Almost all subtitle code has been rewritten. I think that now it's much
+ better. For instance, now you can load a idx/sub file and you'll be able
+ to select among all languages that the file provides. You can have a
+ mkv file with embedded subtitles, load an idx/sub file (or srt, sub...)
+ and all subtitles will be available.
+ There's also a new option in the subtitles menu to unload the previous
+ subtitle file you might have loaded.
+ This new code is still under testing, and it could have bugs. If you
+ see something strange, please report.
+ * Updated the Ukrainian, Czech, Georgian, Polish, Russian and Chinese
+ translations.
+
+[b]Version 0.3.34[/b]
+ * Updated the Dutch, Ukrainian, German, Polish and Italian translations.
+ * Added the Czech translation by Martin Dvořák.
+ * Some cosmetic changes: new about dialog, and now the language combo
+ in preferences displays the language name, along with the ISO code.
+
+[b]Version 0.3.33[/b]
+ * Changes in playlist: converted the buttons and menus to QAction's. This
+ has required to make the playlist a QMainWindow (it was a QWidget before).
+ * And added again the previous and next buttons to main window.
+ * Updated the German translation.
+
+[b]Version 0.3.32[/b]
+ * Updated the Russian and Polish translations.
+ * Added options to hide the toolbars (in the Options menu).
+
+[b]Version 0.3.31[/b]
+ * Created a new floating control widget. This time it's not a toolbar so
+ I hope that this finally fixes the problems with the floating control.
+
+[b]Version 0.3.30[/b]
+ * Updated the Polish, Hungarian and Chinese translations.
+ * Some people report that the control widget doesn't appear where it
+ should but a little bit above the bottom. I tried to fix it by reparenting
+ the widget and changing the flags. It seems to work well with Qt 3, but
+ with Qt 4 it does really strange things: the widget is huge. Resize doesn't
+ work or crashed the program. So finally the code is disabled (even for
+ Qt 3). If you wanna to test it: edit the config.h and set
+ REPARENT_CONTROLWIDGET to 1 (and recompile).
+
+[b]Version 0.3.29[/b]
+ * Updated the German translation.
+ * Fixed a crash when using Qt 4 with the new control widget.
+ * Now the control widget displays over the video, not moving it.
+ * You can now drag a subtitle file to the main window.
+ * Tried to use the kde open dialog, unsuccessfully.
+
+[b]Version 0.3.28[/b]
+ * Updated the German, Polish and Ukrainian translations.
+ * Updated the French translation by David <goondy@free.fr>
+ * Now the control widget is only one toolbar, but if it gets too small
+ it will replaced by another widget with less buttons.
+
+[b]Version 0.3.21 - 0.3.27[/b]
+ * A lot of internal changes: now QAction's are used for most of the menus,
+ constants have been changed to enums. Due to the amount of changes it's
+ possible that something could have broken. Please test it, specially
+ audio and subtitle selection, aspect ratio options, and well... everything
+ in the menus...
+ * The Gui class has been divided into BaseGui and DefaultGui. The intention
+ of this it to allow to create alternative GUI's easily (when I say GUI in
+ fact I mean the main window). The DefaultGui is less than 300 lines of code.
+ * The new GUI has been written from scratch and it has some toolbars. This
+ GUI has been written today in a few hours and it's not finished yet.
+ Unfortunately the "controlwidget over the video" from previous releases
+ has not been implemented yet in this GUI.
+ * Updated the Italian, German, Hungarian and Russian translations.
+ * Added the Georgian translation.
+
+[b]Version 0.3.20[/b]
+ * Added new icon themes by Charles Barcza.
+ * Updated the German and Polish translations.
+ * The controlwidget over the video now it seems that works too with Qt 3,
+ so now it's activated by default. Please test it.
+ * The priority options in preferences are hidden too in Qt 4 (priority is
+ for Windows only).
+ * Removed the old fullscreen code.
+
+[b]Version 0.3.19[/b]
+ * Updated the Chinese, Ukrainian, Russian, German and Polish translations.
+ * It seems that some videos don't start at sec. 0 so now smplayer will
+ try to get the starting time and subtract that time from the current time.
+ That's need for the -ss option to work properly with those videos.
+ * Set some "buddies" in filepreferencesdialog so it can be used with the
+ keyboard.
+ * Some internal changes and small fixes.
+ * New compilation option in config.h: CONTROLWIDGET_OVER_VIDEO
+ If set to 1, the controlwidget will be shown in fullscreen
+ *over* the video (not moving the video) when the user move the mouse
+ to the bottom area of the screen.
+ Now if someone knows how to get rid of the KDE taskbar that appears at
+ the same time...
+
+[b]Version 0.3.18[/b]
+ * Icon sets: The logo didn't change in the title bar of some windows. Fixed.
+ * (Qt 3 only) Time slider: now the slider goes to the point the user has
+ clicked on. The volume slider has the same behavior.
+ * Now it's possible to choose a preferred language for subtitles.
+ (Only tested with two mkv files).
+ * Added more "whatsthis" help in Preferences (Performance tab). Texts copied
+ from mplayer manpage.
+ * Now the info window shows some icons, according to the media type
+ (video, audio, dvd, url). I'm afraid these icons are not customizable.
+
+[b]Version 0.3.17[/b]
+ * Updated the Polish, German and Ukrainian translations.
+ * Added support for Qt 4 stylesheets. Now the icons sets, along with the
+ *.png files, can contain a file named "style.qss". If that file exists
+ smplayer will load it (the Test/ subdirectory includes one, based on a Qt
+ example). This allows to change color, size, style... of all Qt widgets
+ (see screenshots). This feature requires Qt 4.2.
+ The qss file is quite similar to a HTML css file. Detailed info:
+ http://doc.trolltech.com/4.2/stylesheet.html
+
+[b]Version 0.3.16[/b]
+ * Updated the Hungarian, German and Italian translations.
+ * Added the Brazilian portuguese translation.
+ * Added new icon theme blackPanther-Light by Charles Barcza.
+ * Added a new option: Video->Size. This is a global option. If you set it
+ for instance to 150%, all videos will be played at 150% of their original
+ size.
+ (This option won't work if checked "Advanced->Run mplayer in its
+ own window").
+
+[b]Version 0.3.15b[/b]
+ * Updated the Hungarian translation.
+ * Added icon theme blackPanther-VistaLike by Charles Barcza.
+
+[b]Version 0.3.15[/b]
+ * Updated the German, Ukrainian and Polish translations.
+ * Fixed a bug. Now you can pass a folder through command line. If it doesn't
+ contain the video_ts folder, the contents of the directory will be added
+ to the playlist.
+ * Options->View info now shows more info about audio tracks and subtitles.
+ * Created a new icon set: "Play" which changes some icons and adds some
+ more. Just an example that shows that's possible to add new icons not
+ present in the default set.
+
+[b]Version 0.3.14[/b]
+ * Updated the Ukrainian, Russian, Polish, Chinese, Italian and Japanese
+ translations.
+ * Fixed a problem with the new icon set feature in Windows (the icon path
+ wasn't right).
+ * Fixed some bugs with the "initial volume" widgets in preferences.
+ * Process communication: the 2nd instance will send to the 1st instance
+ the filename to be open encoded in UTF-8.
+ * New option in preferences (General) to select a preferred audio language
+ for videos with multiple audio tracks. See the "whatsthis" help to know
+ more about this new option.
+
+[b]Version 0.3.13[/b]
+ * Updated the Ukrainian, German and Russian translations.
+ * Made the apply preferences a little bit smarter. Now the mplayer process
+ will be restarted only if needed. For example, changing the video output
+ or the cache settings require mplayer to be restarted, but changing the
+ language or the mouse button function does not.
+ There are a lot of options in the preferences dialog and I'm not tested
+ all of them. Report if some setting is ignored or something.
+ * Now you can change the language of the application at runtime. This has
+ required a lot of changes. Report if some string has been left untranslated.
+ * Configurable icons. Now smplayer can load icon sets. In
+ Preferences->Interface you'll find an option to select an iconset.
+ Currently there are two: Default (the default embeded iconset) and Test
+ (for testing, I've used the oxygen icons gathered by adrian5632)
+
+[b]Version 0.3.12[/b]
+ * Added the Ukrainian translation.
+ * Updated the German and Polish translations.
+ * Added the option Video->Stay on top. This is a global option.
+ * Added Preferences->Interface->Language.
+ * Moved the logs stuff from Advanced to a new tab.
+
+[b]Version 0.3.11[/b]
+ * Updated the Hungarian and Russian translations.
+ * Sometimes when a video is played, smplayer doesn't get any info about it
+ (you can notice because the aspect ratio may be wrong, length is 0,
+ resolution is 0x0, no info about subtitles...). I think this happens
+ when a video is restarting but you open a new one before restarting
+ is finished (usually happens with internet streams, where a video can
+ take some time to start to play). I think that now this problem is
+ fixed, although I'm not completely sure as this bug is quite difficult to
+ reproduce.
+ * Now you can force the usage of a different language (translation).
+ smplayer currently tries to use the translation file according to your
+ locale. Now you can change the language by editing the configuration file
+ and change the value of the option "language" (under the [Preferences]
+ section). Example: [i]language=es[/i] will display the messages in Spanish,
+ [i]language=fr[/i] will display them in French, [i]language=zh_CN[/i] will
+ display them in Chinese and so on.
+
+[b]Version 0.3.10[/b]
+ * Updated the German, Polish, Dutch, Italian, Russian and Chinese translations.
+ * Bug fixed: if "fast seek to chapters in dvds" was checked, the -cache
+ option wasn't used for internet streams.
+ * Some options for logs added (Preferences->Advanced). Now you can disable
+ the mplayer or smplayer logs. There's also an option to filter the
+ smplayer output. Added too "what's this" help for these new options.
+
+[b]Version 0.3.9[/b]
+ * Updated the German, Hungarian, Russian and Spanish translations.
+ * Internal change: made pref (Preferences) a global object (I hope not,
+ but this change could have broken something...) This is needed
+ for the following:
+ * A long awaited feature: you can save defaults for the video equalizer.
+ Two buttons have been added to the video equalizer: "reset", will reset
+ all controls to 0. "Set as default value" will store the current values
+ and they will be used for new videos.
+ * Fixed bug #1694644.
+
+[b]Version 0.3.8[/b]
+ * Added the Japanese and Dutch translations.
+ * Updated the German, Italian, Polish and Slovak translations.
+ * Added the option EXTERNAL_SLEEP in config.h (this is a compilation option,
+ if you change it, you'll have to recompile). If set to 1, smplayer
+ will use the function usleep from unistd.h instead of QThread::msleep()
+ It can be useful if your Qt doesn't have QThread support.
+ * I started to add some (what's this) help in the preferences dialog.
+ Drag the question mark in the title bar to a field and a text
+ will appear explaining what's that option for. Currently only works
+ in the General tab.
+
+[b]Version 0.3.7[/b]
+ * Updated the German translation.
+ * Made changes to try to fix a compilation error in Windows (qmake bug)
+ * Added a "Clear" option in the recent files menu, to clear the list.
+ * Added an option in Play menu, to repeat (loop) the current file. This
+ is a global option. If activated, when the video ends, it will start to
+ play again.
+ As an unintended feature, if the video didn't start from the beginning, when
+ repetition starts it won't start from the beginning but from the point
+ it previously started. An example will explain it better: you have a 2
+ minute video, you play it with the repeat option off. When it gets to
+ 1 minute you stop it and set the repeat option on. The video will resume
+ play from minute 1. When the video gets to minute 2 (end of video) it
+ will start to play again from minute 1.
+ As I said, this is unintended, but I leave this way because maybe someone
+ could find it useful.
+
+[b]Version 0.3.6[/b]
+ * Updated Polish, Italian, Chinese and Russian translations.
+ * All icons are now png files.
+ * Using the option -nofs for the mplayer command line.
+
+[b]Version 0.3.5[/b]
+ * Fixed a serious bug if using Qt 3. The key shortcuts were saved to a
+ different file and not loaded.
+ * Started to move from xpm icons to png. Right now a mix of both types
+ is used. All icons in the preferences dialog are now png. Some of
+ the icons in playlist are png too. But most of the icons in the main
+ window are still xpm. As a test I changed the smplayer logo (which in
+ fact is a Vista-Inspirate icon) with a new one designed by
+ Charles Barcza.
+
+[b]Version 0.3.4[/b]
+ * Updated the German translation.
+ * Now you can choose the function of the mouse wheel: media seeking or
+ volume control.
+
+[b]Version 0.3.3[/b]
+ * Updated the Italian, German, Polish and Chinese translations.
+ * 10s, 1m and 10m seek can be configured: Preferences->GUI.
+ Note: the previous fixed values (10s, 1m, 10m) still appear in the menus
+ and tooltips. I'll fix it soon.
+ * Mouse left click and double click functions can be configured
+ in Preferences->GUI.
+ Note: the left click function is executed too when double clicking. I'll
+ try to fix it, for now I recommend to use one of the two mouse functions,
+ not both.
+ * The initial volume can be configured in Preferences->GUI.
+
+[b]Version 0.3.2[/b]
+ * Added the Polish translation.
+ * Removed obsolete texts from all translations.
+ * Added in preferences an option to select the maximum number of
+ items that the "recent files" menu should have. And added too a
+ button to clear the list.
+ * Renamed the Misc section in preferences to GUI. And moved non GUI items that
+ were in this section to others.
+ * Added some icons in the preferences dialog.
+ * Changed some icons.
+
+[b]Version 0.3.1[/b]
+ * Updated the German, Italian, Russian and Hungarian translations.
+ * Added some contributed files to the contrib subdirectory.
+ * Added the uninstall section in the Makefile.
+ * Added a smplayer_en_US.ts. Currently it's empty. Can be used to
+ correct the english text, and also can be used to start a translation
+ to other language.
+
+[b]Version 0.3.0[/b]
+ This release has only one small fix, but I change the version number to
+ 0.3.0. I think it's time.
+ * The code in mplayerprocess for Windows wasn't used. Now it should be fixed.
+ * Updated the German translation.
+ * Updated the instructions to compile smplayer in README.txt.
+
+[b]Version 0.2.44[/b]
+ * Added the Hungarian translation.
+ * Some changes in mplayerprocess.cpp, to make it a little faster.
+ * A new interesting feature has been added: remember, smplayer install
+ a server to listen a port (8000 by default) initially to communicate to
+ other instances. But now that server will understand some more commands.
+ You can connect with it with "telnet localhost 8000" and type "help".
+ For now you can pass any of the key functions. For instance the
+ command "function pause", will pause the movie that smplayer is playing.
+ "function fullscreen" will toggle fullscreen mode. You can get a list
+ of all available functions with "list functions".
+ This feature will allow other people to write small programs or scripts
+ to control smplayer remotely (from another computer) or from a remote control.
+
+[b]Version 0.2.43[/b]
+ * Not converting to local 8 bit encoding. It seems that Qt already does, so
+ doing twice only cause trouble.
+ * Using QString::fromLocal8Bit() instead of
+ QTextCodec::codecForLocale()->toUnicode(). I think it's the same...
+ * Updated the Russian translation.
+ * If unchecked the option for remembering media settings, now the settings
+ are not really saved to config file (previously they were saved but not
+ loaded).
+ * Activated by default for Windows, an alternative code in mplayerprocess
+ which seems to be faster, and can fix some slow down problems.
+
+[b]Version 0.2.42[/b]
+ * Updated the Chinese and Russian translations.
+ * Convert filename, subtitle filename, and dvd device name to local 8 bit
+ encoding before pass them to mplayer. I don't know if this will fix
+ something or break something.
+ * Some changes in mplayerprocess, trying to fix a problem in Windows, but
+ unfortunately it's not fixed yet.
+
+[b]Version 0.2.41[/b]
+ * Mouse left click and double click will work now only in the video window.
+ * Modified the Makefile to make possible to compile with Qt 4 from the
+ source root. ("make prep" will adapt the code for Qt 4 and "make"
+ will compile it). You may need to change the QMAKE variable.
+ * Write some experimental code intented to fix a problem in Windows.
+ Not compiled by default.
+
+[b]Version 0.2.40[/b]
+ * Updated the Slovak and German translations.
+ * On Windows smplayer saves position and size of the main window to
+ be restored after exiting from fullscreen mode.
+ * Mouse left click and double click, configurable. For now only by editing
+ the configuration file (look for left_click_function and
+ double_click_function). Valid values are any of the key functions (the
+ list of key functions appears at the beginning of the smplayer log).
+ Example: left_click_function=PAUSE
+ Currently there's a problem: double click executes also the left click
+ function.
+ * Changed the DVD and CD icons in preferences.
+
+[b]Version 0.2.39[/b]
+ * Added the Russian translation.
+ * Now the dvd and cdrom devices have no default. If the user tries to
+ play a dvd before configure it, a message box will show requesting
+ him to configure it. After that the preferences dialog will be
+ shown, with the drive's tab selected.
+ * By the way, I've added some icons to the drive's configuration.
+
+[b]Version 0.2.38[/b]
+ * Added the Simplified-Chinese translation.
+ * Removed some extra trailing spaces in some phrases.
+ * Added copyright text to the new files.
+
+[b]Version 0.2.37[/b]
+ * Updated Italian & German translations.
+ * Added setActiveWindow() too besides raise();
+ * Raised the time that smplayer waits to mplayer process to finished.
+ Sometimes it's needed to call mplayer to get some info (available
+ output drivers, codecs and so on). There's a problem about terminating
+ that process: if we just wait until the process is finished there's
+ the possibility that smplayer freezes if the mplayer process does.
+ For that reason smplayer waits, but only some time. After that smplayer
+ kills the mplayer process. That time was about 1 second, but sometimes
+ (specially for the first run) mplayer takes more time. Now smplayer
+ will wait as much 10 seconds.
+
+[b]Version 0.2.36[/b]
+ * Improved the single instance stuff. Now it seems it works with Qt 4, too.
+ Added a few commands to the server. So now you can talk to it using
+ telnet.
+ * Added some options in the preferences dialog. You can activate or disable
+ the single instance feature, and set the port that the server will use.
+ IMPORTANT: the single instance is disabled by default!
+ Changes in any of these options require smplayer to be restarted.
+ * Added the French translation. It's not complete yet.
+
+[b]Version 0.2.35[/b]
+ * Started to write the single instance stuff. Now when smplayer starts
+ it sets a server to listen to a port (by default 8000). When a new
+ instance is run it tries to connect to that port. If it has success it
+ tries to verify that it's really smplayer behind that port. After that it
+ sends to the first instance the file that the user wants to open (if any)
+ and closes. The first instance opens the video.
+ You can change the default port in the configuration file (look for
+ connection_port). Sorry I didn't have time to add an option in the
+ preferences dialog.
+ This works in Qt 3 but fails in Qt 4. I don't know why, by an unknown
+ reason the server in the first instance doesn't receive the open
+ command that the client in the 2nd instance sends.
+ It's too late, I'lltry to fix it tomorrow. By the way, this is the first
+ time I write code relative to sockets, ports, servers, clients... so someone
+ more experienced is welcome to take a look to the code and to try to fix it.
+
+[b]Version 0.2.34[/b]
+ * Internal changes: moved Images and Keys to global.
+ * Key shortcuts are loaded from config file. That means the now it's possible
+ to change key shortcuts.
+ * Preferences are saved when user press Ok or Apply in the preferences dialog.
+ * Moved the "Include subtitles on screenshots" from General to Subtitles tab.
+ * Fixed a bug with -cache and fast dvd chapter switch. The cache was disabled
+ even if not playing a dvd.
+
+[b]Version 0.2.33[/b]
+ * Made settings a global object. A lot of internal changes, something
+ could have broken.
+
+[b]Version 0.2.32[/b]
+ * Fixed a little bug in playlist.
+ * No flickering at all in the video when opening menus in Windows.
+ * Rewritten keys.h, keys.cpp. Key shortcuts are saved.
+
+[b]Version 0.2.31[/b]
+ * Added the Italian translation made by Giancarlo Scola.
+ * Now drag&drop urls works with Firefox, if compiled with Qt 3.
+ It already worked with Qt 4!
+ As a secondary effect now plain text can be dropped into smplayer (Qt 3 only).
+ * New option: Options->Show frame counter. If checked the current frame
+ will be displayed in the status bar. Don't work properly with some formats.
+
+[b]Version 0.2.30[/b]
+ * Ok, I've just found out how to disable double buffering in a widget.
+ So the blinking problem with Qt is definitely fixed now (I hope).
+
+[b]Version 0.2.29[/b]
+ * In linux, using Qt 4, the video window has an annoying blink every time a
+ menu is open. As a quick fix I'm disabling double buffering. That fixes
+ that problem, but now some widgets may be displayed not completely drawn.
+ * Updated the German translation.
+
+[b]Version 0.2.28[/b]
+ * Now you can drag&drop urls from a web browser. You can test it dragging
+ the urls on this page: http://smplayer.sourceforge.net/streams.html
+ * Added the option "include subtitles on screenshots" in Preferences. If
+ checked subtitles will appear on screenshots taken with the option
+ Video->Screenshot. Otherwise subtitles won't appear on screenshots.
+
+[b]Version 0.2.27[/b]
+ * Fixed a problem with the "frame step" option. Sometimes instead of one
+ frame it could advance 2 (or more?) frames.
+ * Added the option Open->Playlist (it was already possible to open a playlist
+ from the Open->File, but well, this way will be easier). A dialog will
+ allow you to open a m3u or m3u8 playlist. The playlist will be loaded and
+ will start to play, but the playlist window won't be opened (not because
+ I wanted that way, just because it was easier...)
+ * In fullscreen mode, when you drag the time slider, the "jump to..." message
+ will be displayed in the OSD.
+
+[b]Version 0.2.26[/b]
+ * Fixed some problems with the new fullscreen mode, so now it's the default.
+ Please test it!
+ * Added an option who people with wide screens can find useful:
+ 16:9 letterbox. If you play for instance a 2.35:1 movie, this option
+ will add black borders to fit 16:9. The interesting thing is that subtitles
+ will appear in the bottom border.
+
+[b]Version 0.2.25[/b]
+ * Made the "experimental fullscreen mode" the default one and delete the
+ the old code.
+ * Written a new experimental fullscreen mode ;)
+ To test it you have to edit the file config.h and change the
+ FULLSCREEN_WITH_MAINWINDOW 0
+ to
+ FULLSCREEN_WITH_MAINWINDOW 1
+ and recompile.
+ With this option, the fullscreen mode will be made through the main window
+ (hiding the menu bar, control widget and status bar)
+ In this mode if you move the mouse near the bottom of the screen
+ the control widget will be shown, and if you move it near the top
+ the menu bar will appear.
+ Problem: I couldn't hide everything, two grey lines appear, one on
+ the top, the other on the bottom... that's why this option is set
+ to 0 by default.
+ I hope I can fix it in the future...
+
+[b]Version 0.2.24[/b]
+ * Added the Slovak translation by Peter Mendel.
+ * Hopefully fixed a compilation error in Qt 4 under linux.
+ * The playlist broke in one of the recent changes: items didn't
+ start to play from the beginning. Fixed.
+ * Now if the shuffle button is ON in the playlist, playing will always
+ start from a random item (not the first).
+ * Parse the ID_SUBTITLE_ID tag.
+ * Try to call initializeMenus() and updateWidgets() only when needed.
+ initializeMenus() seems to be causing problems (crashes) in Qt 4 if
+ it modifies the same menu we've just used. Now initializeMenus() is called
+ only once the video has started to play, not before.
+ I hope not, but this change may have broken something. Testing needed.
+ initializeMenus() is responsible of creating the audio, subtitle, dvd title
+ and chapter switching menus. updateWidgets() is responsible of updating
+ the widgets (like setting the mute button on/off), but also of keeping
+ the menus updated (setting the check mark on activated options).
+
+[b]Version 0.2.23[/b]
+ * I've realized that the latest mplayer builds for Windows don't play a dvd
+ if the dvd-device ends with "/" (-dvd-device E:/ will fail). The same
+ happens with folders (C:/Videos/My DVD/ will fail, C:/Videos/My DVD
+ will work). So now smplayer removes those trailing "/".
+
+[b]Version 0.2.22[/b]
+ * Improved support for playing dvds from folders. In order to properly
+ identify these dvd folders, I invented a protocol. In mplayer you
+ should use something like this: mplayer dvd://1. That would play
+ the first title of the dvd. You can use that too with smplayer:
+ smplayer dvd://1. But now you can add after it a folder, this way:
+ smplayer dvd://1:/tmp/movies/dvd5 (where dvd5 is a directory
+ which contains at least video_ts).
+ smplayer dvd://2:/tmp/movies/dvd5 will play title 2.
+ You can pass the directory only (forgeting the dvd://number)
+ smplayer /tmp/movies/dvd5
+ * Open->Directory will autodetect if the selected directory contains
+ a ripped dvd (currently it only checks if it contains a video_ts) and
+ in that case will play the dvd instead of adding the individual files
+ to the playlist.
+ * Drag&drop also works. You can drag a folder to the main window.
+ If it contains a dvd it will play it, otherwise the files
+ of the directory will be added to the playlist.
+ * Accidentally you can also drag a folder containing a dvd to the
+ playlist and it will work.
+
+[b]Version 0.2.21[/b]
+ * Playing a DVD from a folder: make things even clearer. Removed
+ the stuff in preferences and added "Open->DVD from folder". It'll ask
+ you for a directory where video_ts and audio_ts should be (it seems that
+ it also work if you select the directory with the *.vob and *.ifo files).
+ So now "Open->DVD" will only play real DVDs in your dvd drive.
+ * Added a Open->Directory option. It will add the files in the chosen
+ directory (not recursively) to the playlist (after clearing it) and start
+ playing the first item. To fix: it will start playing always the first item
+ even if the shuffle button in the playlist is on.
+
+[b]Version 0.2.20[/b]
+ * Fixes a silly bug with -brightness 0. I changed -contrast 0 instead of
+ brightness...
+ * Now subtitles appear on screenshots.
+ * It has always been possible to play ripped dvds from hard disc,
+ but for making things clearer, I've added in the preferences dialog
+ some options to select a directory from hard disc which should
+ contain the video_ts (and audio_ts).
+
+[b]Version 0.2.19[/b]
+ * The brightness issue in mplayer (windows) is giving me a headache.
+ Remember: the image is brighter than it should in windows (directx)
+ with -brightness 0. As a work-around I set the soft video equalizer
+ as default, but that conflicts with others video output drivers as
+ gl or directx:noaccel.
+ So going back. The soft video equalizer is not the default, and to
+ prevent the bright image -brightness 0 will not be used in Windows.
+ * Added a new option in preferences: fast audio track switching. This is
+ the default. If unchecked, audio track switching will restart mplayer,
+ which is a little bit slow, but that should make possible to switch audio
+ tracks in containers apart from avi, mpeg and mkv.
+
+[b]Version 0.2.18[/b]
+ * Reordered the recent files stuff. I hope this fixed the crash problem
+ with Qt 4.
+ * Now the default encoding for subtitles is ISO-8859-1 instead of latin1
+ (it's the same encoding, just a name change, so it can be found in
+ the new encoding list).
+ * Renamed the videoequalizer2 to videoequalizer.
+ * The inforeader won't wait the mplayer process to finish for ever. It'll
+ wait for some seconds and if the mplayer process is not finished then
+ it will kill it. This way if the mplayer process for some reason hangs,
+ smplayer won't do the same.
+ * Disable software video equalizer (-vf eq2) when using gl or gl2 as
+ video output driver, as they seem to be incompatible.
+ * The file passed through the command line is now send to the new open
+ function with autodetection of media type. That means that you can
+ pass a local file, a dvd (in the form of dvd://1, dvd://2...), a
+ playlist (*.m3u or *.m3u8), or stream.
+
+[b]Version 0.2.17[/b]
+ * Added a stereo mode menu, where you can select: stereo, left channel or
+ right channel. According to mplayer manpage this seems to be only for
+ MP2/MP3.
+ * At last added a "recent files" menu. Currently it shows the 10 recent
+ files opened.
+
+[b]Version 0.2.16[/b]
+ * It seems that the new way of changing dvd chapters doesn't work well
+ in Windows, so now it's disabled by default but you can activate it
+ in the preferences dialog.
+ * The shift key is now ignored, and can't be used as modifier for key
+ shortcuts.
+ * Added in the preferences dialog a combobox to select the encoding
+ of the subtitles.
+
+[b]Version 0.2.15[/b]
+ * Added in the preferences dialog an option to autosync audio/video.
+ This is what the manpage of mplayer says about it:
+ -autosync <factor>
+ Gradually adjusts the A/V sync based on audio delay measure-
+ ments. Specifying -autosync 0, the default, will cause frame
+ timing to be based entirely on audio delay measurements. Speci-
+ fying -autosync 1 will do the same, but will subtly change the
+ A/V correction algorithm. An uneven video framerate in a movie
+ which plays fine with -nosound can often be helped by setting
+ this to an integer value greater than 1. The higher the value,
+ the closer the timing will be to -nosound. Try -autosync 30 to
+ smooth out problems with sound drivers which do not implement a
+ perfect audio delay measurement. With this value, if large A/V
+ sync offsets occur, they will only take about 1 or 2 seconds to
+ settle out. This delay in reaction time to sudden A/V offsets
+ should be the only side-effect of turning this option on, for
+ all sound drivers.
+ * Now the info window updates in realtime. And the filename will be
+ displayed in smplayer window title.
+ * New functions: prev and next chapter (keys ! and @) It should work with
+ dvd chapters and matroshka chapters.
+ * Now selecting a dvd chapter is much much faster (now mplayer is not
+ restarted).
+ Note: this new method doesn't work at least with the version of mplayer
+ I'm using (dev-SVN-r21937) if -cache is used in the command line.
+ If it happens to you too, the work-around is to set the cache to 0
+ in the preferences dialog.
+
+[b]Version 0.2.14[/b]
+ * On Windows the option to use the software video equalizer will be
+ check by default (when running for first time), as a work-around
+ for the bright image problem.
+ * As suggested by Amnon82 in the forum, added a menu for selecting
+ the number of audio channels (mplayer will try to used the specified
+ number of channels, but it will depend on the media). Options are:
+ default (the -channels options will not be passed to mplayer)
+ stereo (2 channels)
+ 4.0 Surround (4 channels)
+ 5.1 Surround (6 channels)
+ * Added a debugging message identifying the OS on which it's running
+ (currently only linux and windows), the version of smplayer and
+ the version of Qt.
+
+[b]Version 0.2.13[/b]
+ * Fixed a crash when trying to open a file being created by mencoder.
+ * Catch the "Generating Index" message from mplayer and display it in
+ status bar.
+ * The key shortcuts work in compact mode.
+ * Disabled fullscreen mode when another window (playlist, preferences...) is
+ open.
+ * Added the Options submenu to the popup menu (right click menu).
+ * Added key shortcuts for cycling through audio and subtitle tracks:
+ audio assigned to key j. subtitle assigned temporary to h.
+
+[b]Version 0.2.12[/b]
+ * Using showFullScreen() instead of a normal show() for fullscreen.
+ * Compact mode hides the menu bar too. And moved the option from
+ the Options menu to the Video menu. Added a key shortcut: Ctrl-C.
+ TODO: now it seems that other key shortcuts (like Ctrl-F to open a file)
+ don't work in this mode, at least with Qt 3.
+
+[b]Version 0.2.11[/b]
+ * Some fixes in the new code for fullscreen. Now (at least in Windows)
+ changing to fullscreen mode should be very smooth (no blinks).
+ * New info window (Options->View info).
+
+[b]Version 0.2.10[/b]
+ * New fullscreen mode. Using now a widget which has a parent instead of
+ of a widget with no parent.
+ * Added a "compact mode". In this mode, the status bar and the control
+ widget are hidden.
+ * Added a config.h where you can change some defines which modifies the
+ behavior of some things. For instance, "DOCK_PLAYLIST 1" makes the
+ playlist to be embedded in the main window.
+
+[b]Version 0.2.9[/b]
+ * Just a very small change: when going to fullscreen mode, the function
+ Gui::toggleFullscreen was called twice (I think it's because button->setOn
+ emits a signal). Now it's still called twice but now the function checks
+ if there's really something to do.
+
+[b]Version 0.2.8[/b]
+ * Hopefully fixed two ancient bugs in Windows: the mplayer log with
+ blank lines and in some menus the accel letter didn't show underlined.
+ * Added accels for all options in the menus. Unfortunately this change
+ breaks the translations of the menus.
+
+[b]Version 0.2.7[/b]
+ * Fixed a bug in Windows. In the playlist, the symbol "/" was
+ replaced with "\" in internet streams (mms:\\.... instead of
+ (mms://...), avoiding them to play.
+
+[b]Version 0.2.6[/b]
+ * Added the postprocessing filter (-vf pp) with autoq. The autoq value
+ can be changed in Preferences->Performance. By default: 6 (the highest).
+ The postprocessing filter can be selected in Video->Filters->Postprocessing.
+ This filter may "improve" the video quality.
+
+[b]Version 0.2.5[/b]
+ * The new equalizer was broken in Qt 4. I hope I fixed it.
+ * Now when saving a playlist, if you typed a name without extension
+ smplayer will add it for you (.m3u).
+ * Updated the German translation.
+
+[b]Version 0.2.4[/b]
+ * Replaced the video equalizer with a better looking one.
+
+[b]Version 0.2.3[/b]
+ * Load m3u8 files from Open->File (and from command line).
+ * Convert strings from mplayer output to unicode from system locale.
+ That should allow smplayer to read properly non latin1 text in
+ mplayer output.
+ * Replaced in code all qDebug(...latin1()) with qDebug(...utf8().data()).
+ This way non latin1 characters shouldn't be lost in logs.
+ * Now playlist tries to use relative paths when saving the playlist.
+
+[b]Version 0.2.2[/b]
+ * When loading a playlist, comments (lines starting with #) are ignored.
+ * Now smplayer can load and save m3u8 files (same as m3u but in UTF-8).
+ * Rewritten the "remove selected items" code in playlist.
+ * Replaced all float's with double's. I hope this hasn't broken anything...
+
+[b]Version 0.2.1[/b]
+ * Convert strings from system locale to unicode, in arguments passed
+ from command line and when reading (and saving) m3u files.
+
+[b]Version 0.2.0[/b]
+ * Now when you add a file or files to the playlist, only the
+ filename appears, not the whole path.
+ * Added a shortcut for playlist: Ctrl-L
+ * Added shortcuts for previous and next in playlist: < and >
+ * Updated the German translation.
+
+[b]Version 0.1.20[/b]
+ * Now if the directory for screenshots is empty, the option
+ -vf-add screenshot will not be passed to mplayer. This lets smplayer
+ to work with old versions of mplayer which don't have that filter.
+ * More improvements in the playlist: added a play button (will play
+ the selected item). Added a popup menu (right click), with 3 options:
+ play, remove selected and edit. The last option lets you edit the
+ name that will be shown in the playlist for the selected file.
+ With this, I think the playlist is almost finished.
+
+[b]Version 0.1.19[/b]
+ * In playlist, the Add->Files and Add->Directory update the last directory
+ used for playlist.
+ * Added some icons in Preferences dialog.
+ * Added icons for playlist's repeat & shuffle buttons (they are ugly:
+ I did them myself...)
+ * Added two new buttons in playlist: up and down. You can use them
+ to move items up and down in the list.
+
+[b]Version 0.1.18[/b]
+ * Now the shuffle option in playlist should work.
+ * The playlist saves the state of the repeat & shuffle buttons and
+ also the size of the window.
+
+[b]Version 0.1.17[/b]
+ * Some fixes in the video equalizer.
+ * Now Open->URL remembers the last url.
+ * Playlist remembers the last directory used.
+ * Some fixes in the spec file.
+
+[b]Version 0.1.16[/b]
+ * Added a video equalizer.
+
+[b]Version 0.1.15[/b]
+ * If "main window resize method" was "never" and you played an audio file
+ and the a video file, the video window didn't show. Fixed.
+ * Some other small fixes.
+
+[b]Version 0.1.14[/b]
+ * Now the minimum step in sub delay and audio delay is 100 ms (not 200).
+ * Now streams can be passed through the command line.
+ * Fixed a crash when duration of a file was less than 0.
+
+[b]Version 0.1.13[/b]
+ * Playlist accepts drops. Dropped files will be added to the playlist.
+ * Added two button to the playlist: repeat and shuffle. Repeat works,
+ shuffle not yet.
+ * Now the subtitle menu (for *.srt, *.sub...) shows the name of the files
+ (was in 0.1.12 but I forgot to mention).
+ * Small changes and fixes.
+ * Updated the German translation.
+
+[b]Version 0.1.12[/b]
+ * Added a reset button in demuxer / video & audio codec selection. Clicking
+ that button will select the original option. Useful if you don't
+ remember which one was it.
+ * Changes in fullscreen mode. Now fullscreen is a global setting.
+ This allows to view all videos in the playlist in fullscreen mode,
+ without switching to window mode everytime a video finished.
+ * Also added in the preferences a new option: "Start videos in fullscreen".
+ If checked all videos you open will be played in fullscreen.
+
+[b]Version 0.1.11[/b]
+ * Added a new dialog for configuring advanced settings for the current
+ file. You may type additional options to be passed to mplayer (and
+ also video and audio filters). This options are only for the current
+ file, and they will be saved among the rest of the file settings.
+ That way you could for example, add a crop filter and that filter
+ will be used everytime you load that file.
+ There's also the possibility of choosing the demuxer, video codec and
+ audio codec. Most of the time you won't need them, but in the case
+ one file gives you some trouble with the video or audio maybe you can
+ fix it by selecting another codec.
+
+[b]Version 0.1.9[/b]
+ * Now you can load idx/sub subtitles. Select the *.idx in the open
+ subtitle dialog.
+ * Updated the German translation.
+
+[b]Version 0.1.8[/b]
+ * Now the main window accepts drags. So you can drag a video and it will
+ be played. If dragged more than a file, all of them will be added to
+ the playlist (the playlist is cleared first).
+
+[b]Version 0.1.7[/b]
+ * Well, it was hard to know why the mplayer process had finished
+ (end of file, stopped by user, stopped by the program). Fool of me,
+ mplayer says in its output. So now I catch the "Exiting... (end of file)"
+ message, so I really hope that the problems that this was giving me
+ have fixed for ever.
+ * Added support for matroska chapters. In order to work the file MUST
+ have the extension *.mkv.
+ * Not allow to add repeated files in playlist.
+ * Changes in Makefile: now "make install" works.
+ * Created a spec file.
+
+[b]Version 0.1.6[/b]
+ * Fixed a bug that produced a segmentation fault on startup.
+ * Windows/Qt 4: when I file finished playing, playlist wasn't noticed,so
+ next file didn't start to play. Fixed (I hope...)
+ * Added support for monitor aspect correction.
+
+[b]Version 0.1.5[/b]
+ * More improvements in the playlist. Added some icons among other things.
+ * Added 3 new buttons in the main window: playlist, previous and next.
+ * Updated the German translation.
+ * Updated the Spanish translation.
+
+[b]Version 0.1.4[/b]
+ * Now you can pass a m3u file from the command line.
+ * Playlist: Added options to add files or a whole directory (it will add
+ everything that's there, even non playable files!
+ Added options to remove the selected items or to clear the whole list.
+
+[b]Version 0.1.3[/b]
+ * Added the German translation (by Henrikx)
+ * Some fixes in the playlist
+
+[b]Version 0.1.2[/b]
+ * Open->File, if you open a m3u it will passed to the playlist.
+ * Now smplayer gets more info about the files (title, artist, album...).
+ This is displayed in Options->View info but it's also used for the
+ playlist.
+ * Now it's possible to add and remove items in the playlist. The add
+ button adds the current file loaded by smplayer. The remove button
+ removes the selected items.
+ * Added an indicator for the file which is playing (currently the
+ indicator is very simple "->", in the future will be an icon).
+
+[b]Version 0.1.1[/b]
+ * Changed the version scheme.
+ * At last I have learnt how to pass defines to the Makefile created by qmake.
+ * Changed the way of getting icons (images.h / images.cpp)
+
+[b]Version 0.1-070208.13[/b]
+ * Added to the config file the option initial_volume, which will be
+the initial volume when smplayer starts.
+
+[b]Version 0.1-070208.12[/b]
+ * Now when a new file is loaded the volume is not changed.
+ * Save in playlist works (although it's a little bit useless, there
+ are not options to add files to the playlist)
+
+[b]Version 0.1-20070208-2[/b]
+ * Rewrite the playlist using a QTable instead of a QListView.
+ * For proper installation in linux, the following defines will be
+ taken into account:
+ DATA_PATH must be set to the directory where the data files (currently
+ only input.conf) are installed.
+ TRANSLATION_PATH must be set to the directory where translations (*.qm) are
+ installed.
+ DOC_PATH must be set to the directory where the documentation is installed
+ (currently there are no documentation)
+ What I don't know yet is how to pass those defines to the Makefile.
+
+[b]Version 070207-12[/b]
+ * Started the playlist. Currently is very limited. You can load
+a m3u file and it will be played (it must cointain absolute paths).
+Double click on a item plays that file. Streams are also supported.
+
+[b]Version 070206-2[/b]
+ * Reduced a little bit the size of button's icons.
+ * New action "PLAY_PAUSE" set to MediaPlay key.
+
+[b]Version 070204-12[/b]
+ * Fixed a funny bug. Sometimes when a video is about to finish, it started
+ to play again from the beginning.
+ * Put the basis for configurable key shortcuts.
+ * Added some key shortcuts: Alt+1 & Alt+2 change gamma.
+ Ctrl+F = Open->File, Ctrl+U = Open->URL, Ctrl+X = Open->Exit.
+ Ctrl+I = Options->View Info, Ctrl+P = Options->Preferences.
+ * Added support for multimedia keys:
+ MediaPlay = Pause (and resume Play)
+ MediaStop = Stop
+ MediaNext = +10 secs
+ MediaPrev = -10 secs
+ But I don't have a multimedia keyboard, so this is untested...
+
+[b]Version 070202-2[/b]
+ * Some changes in the preferences dialog.
+ * Added an option to select the Qt style to use.
+
+[b]Version 070201-2[/b]
+ * Added an option to select your CDROM drive. This setting is currently
+not used for anything, but in the future it will used for playing VCDs.
+ * One of the main feature of smplayer is the ability to remember the
+settings (audio track, subtitles, filters selected...) of every file
+smplayer has opened. Now I have added two options to disable it. One of them
+will disable it completely, smplayer will remember nothing. The other
+just will make smplayer to not remember the time pos, so every file
+will start playing always from the beginning.
+
+[b]Version 070131-11[/b]
+ * Added a new page in the preferences dialog: Performance, with the
+following options:
+ - Priority (only for windows)
+ - Allow frame drop (-framedrop)
+ - Allow hard frame drop (-hardframedrop)
+
+[b]Version 070131-2[/b]
+As expected the ASS color buttons didn't change color in Windows (or Qt 4).
+I think now this is fixed.
+
+[b]Version 070130-2[/b]
+ * Now you can change the color of the SSA/ASS subtitles.
+
+[b]Version 070129-3[/b]
+Arrggg, I've just realized that the volume wasn't remembered. Fixed, I hope.
+
+[b]Version 070129-2[/b]
+ * Volume and mute: changing the volume unmutes.
+ * Now the time slider should work much better. It should work either
+ dragging it or clicking in any part of the bar. Furthermore now
+ while dragging it, it displays the time you would go.
+
+[b]Version 070128-11[/b]
+ * Added two new options to the preferences dialog:
+ - Use software video equalizer (-vf-add eq2)
+ - Use software volume control (-softvol)
+ * Now the status bar shows the total time too.
+ * More or less fixed a conflict with mute and setting the volume.
+
+[b]Version 070128-2[/b]
+ * Fixed a bug with the screenshot feature.
+ * Now the video window hides if there's no video (audio only file or
+ using the mplayer window).
+
+[b]Version 070127-11[/b]
+ * Double click on the video window toggles fullscreen.
+ * Added an option to take screenshots. You must set first a directory
+ for saving these screenshots, in the preferences dialog.
+
+[b]Version 070127-2[/b]
+ * Added two new options to the "Aspect ratio" sub-menu:
+ - 5:4
+ - 16:10
+ * New log window, with buttons to save the log to a file or copy the
+ text to the clipboard.
+ * Some fixes in the time slider.
+
+[b]Version 070125-11[/b]
+
+ * Added two new video filters:
+ - Dering
+ - Add noise (which adds a little bit of noise to the image)
+
+[b]Version 070125-2[/b]
+* Added some video filters:
+ - denoise (normal) = hqdn3d
+ - denoise (soft) = hqdn3d=2:1:2 (I find the default hqdn3d too strong)
+- deblock = pp=vb/hb
+
+[b]Version 070124-11[/b]
+* Now you can scroll through the video by using the mouse wheel. By
+default every wheel event will advance +30 or -30 seconds. This value
+can be change in the preferences dialog. Setting to 0 disables this
+feature.
+
+[b]Version 070124-2[/b]
+* Added 3 new options to the preferences dialog:
+
+- disable screensaver
+- resize method
+- mplayer cache
+
+Now I think all options in the config file can be set through the
+preferences dialog.
+
+[b]Version 070123[/b]
+* Some changes in the preferences dialog:
+
+- Now a combobox allows you to select your CD/DVD device. In linux some
+usual names are used (/dev/dvd, /dvd/cdrom, etc.). In windows it should
+display the drive's letters (C: D: etc) but I haven't tested yet.
+
+- Now the user can choose the video and audio drivers from a list (shows
+all available drivers in your mplayer).
+
+[img]http://www.uploadfile.info/uploads/64e14ba167.jpg[/img]
+
+[b]Version 070122-11[/b]
+* Found an easier way to change the background color in Qt 4. The
+visible change is that now the background in statusbar will be black as
+in Qt 3.
+* When clicked with the mouse right button to pop up the context menu,
+the main window stopped receiving keyboard events. I hope this is fix
+now.
+* Changed some icons.
+
+[b]Version 070122-2[/b]
+* Now the screensaver in windows is disabled during playback (the
+screensaver is disabled in x11 too since some versions ago).
+* Now the mouse cursor disappears over the video window if it's not
+moved for some seconds, and appears again when it's moved.
+
+[b]Version 070121-11[/b]
+* The option autoload_sub=false didn't work. Fixed (I hope).
+* Added more options to the preferences dialog. It's a little bit ugly
+but all options should work.
+
+[b]Version 070121-2[/b]
+* Started to write the preferences dialog. There's a lot of work to do,
+but the options that appears in it should work.
+
+The subtitles' page is almost complete!
+
+[img]http://www.uploadfile.info/uploads/f57fc459d3.jpg[/img]
+
+[b]Version 070119-2[/b]
+* Well, I removed that horrible logo I made the other day and now I used
+some icons from
+[url=http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=31585]Vista-Inspirate[/url].
+* Some new options for the [preferences] section in config file:
+
+[b]resize_method=(int)[/b]
+
+This options controls the way the main window should resize. The possible values are:
+
+0 : the main window never resizes. The user is the only one allowed to
+resize the window.
+1 : the main window resizes every time it's needed (this is the
+default).
+2 : the main window resizes only after loading a new video, but not
+after restarting mplayer. That means that if the user resizes the
+window, the new size will be respected (until a new video is loaded).
+
+
+[b]mplayer_additional_options=(string)[/b]
+
+Here you can pass other options to mplayer. The options should be
+separated by spaces. If a option requires a filename, this should NOT
+contain spaces.
+
+Example:
+mplayer_additional_options=-flip -softvol
+
+Be carefully, some options could interfere with the ones smplayer uses.
+
+[b]mplayer_additional_video_filters=(string][/b]
+
+Here you can add additional video filters. They should be separated by
+",". Don't use spaces!
+
+Example:
+mplayer_additional_video_filters=hqdn3d,pp=vb/hb
+
+
+[b]mplayer_additional_audio_filters=(string][/b]
+
+The same but for audio.
+Example:
+
+mplayer_additional_audio_filters=volnorm,equalizer=11:11:10:5:0:-12:0:5:12:12
+
+* I also made a (incompatible) change in the way the file preferences
+are stored in the config file. That means that this version won't
+remember your previous file settings.
+
+[b]Version 070117-12[/b]
+
+* Well, I think the only visible change is the option Options->View
+info, which shows some info about the current video.
+* There are some changes in the configuration file (~/.qt/smplayerrc):
+
+vo=(string)
+
+vo is the video output driver. It already existed before. But now I
+change the default value. Previously the default value was "directx" for
+windows, "xv" for the rest.
+
+Now there is no default. If vo is empty, smplayer would get the info
+from mplayer, and will save it in the config file.
+That (theorically) would allow smplayer to run in other OS where maybe
+"xv" doesn't even exist.
+
+Added the option
+ao=(string)
+
+audio output driver, with the same behavior of vo.
+
+And finally, added the option subcp, which allows to select the font
+encoding for subtitles.
+
+[b]Version 070117-2[/b]
+* Fixed a bug when parsing the A: V: line. Big big numbers weren't read
+correctly.
+* Added some options for the configuration file:
+
+font_autoscale= (int)
+font_textscale= (int)
+
+use_fontconfig= (bool)
+font_name= (string)
+font_file= (string)
+
+font_autoscale and font_textscale are the equivalents to
+-subfont-autoscale and -subfont-text-scale in mplayer.
+
+If use_fontconfig is true then the font used for subtitles will be
+font_name. Example:
+
+use_fontconfig=true
+font_name=Utopia
+
+In the case use_fontconfig is false, then it will try to use font_file
+(which has to be a full path to a ttf font). Example:
+
+use_fontconfig=false
+font_file=/home/ricardo/.fonts/comicbd.ttf
+
+So now you can get something like this:
+[img]http://www.uploadfile.info/uploads/c2e06dd51a.jpg[/img]
+
+Of course, all of this will be easier when I write the preferences
+dialog.
+
+[b]Version 070116-2[/b]
+* Added options for changing playback speed.
+
+[b]Version 070115-1[/b]
+* Just a very small fix with the mute option. It wasn't been remebered
+between mplayer resets and audio track switches.
+
+[b]Version 070114-2[/b]
+* Fixed (I hope) a bug relative to subtitles. smplayer didn't remember
+that you had selected the "none" subtitle and always loaded the first
+available subtitle. Now, when you load a video for first time it will
+load the first available subtitle but if you change to "none" it should
+remember the next time you open the same video.
+
+* Added and option to select angle in DVDs. Unfortunately I don't have a
+multiangle dvd, so this option is untested. Can anyone tell me if it
+really works?
+
+* For audio, chapter, title and angle menus: added an <empty> item if
+the menu is empty.
+
+* Added a button to mute. And two nice icons borrowed from kplayer...
