Changes:
A new GUI abstraction layer supporting GTK2, KDE, SDL, and a bare framebuffer. Movies are parsed by a background thread, so they start playing while still loading. The plugin supports Web navigation and starts playing while the stream is loading. A new AntiGrain (AGG) 2D backend has been added for framebuffer devices without OpenGL support. There is a new Framebuffer GUI for devices without X11. Sound now works using ffmpeg, Gstreamer, or libMad. This release supports cross-configuration and cross compiling for embedded targets. A whole slew of minor bugs that kept various movies from playing have been fixed. |
