  - Win32/ACM audio codec fixed (most important for asf with divx audio):
    There was an output buffer size problem with the Win32/ACM audio codec
    at low bitrates (usually used for .asf files with divx audio)
    Input and output buffer sizes are now queryed, problem solved :)
  - SDL support compiling hint by Michael Durller added to the FAQ
  - opendivx support in .asf files   [Gérard Lantau]
  - ./configure & Makefiles patch by Aaron Hope applied.
    (adds --with-win32libdir and fixes --with-x11libdir)
  - ./configure fixed, now it defaults to /usr/lib/win32 if detection failed

mplayer v0.11-pre15: Feb  2  2001
  asf sync fixed
  - asf parser: now supports other than 0x5D segments  [Dirk Vornheder]
  - new asf PTS reading: sync works now, including fps...
    (-fps no longer required!)  [thanks again to Eugene Kuznetsov for docs!]

mplayer v0.11-pre14: Feb  1  2001
  small fixes, asf sync v0.1 :)
  - version number incremented :)))
  - libvo / Xv driver swapped Red-Blue fixed
  - asf timestamps implemented - now asf A-V should be in sync if you
    specify the correct fps at commandline (-fps), +-1 fps allowed...
    [i haven't yet found method to get fps out from asf headers :(((]
  - some error and consistency checking into demux_asf
    if you see many warning! messages playing an .asf file, then contact
    me and upload the file (first 1MB is enough if it represents the problem)
    Don't forget: there is no public doc about the .asf file format, so 
    everything we know is suspected and can be wrong... without your help
    we never will have working .asf player...
  - asf fragment offset checks disabled for grouping...

mplayer v0.11-pre13: Jan 31  2001
  libvo changes, mpeg bitrate, vcd fix, asf grouping
  - libvo: draw_slice() interface changed, now it has src stride[3] and
    destination rect dimension (w,h,x,y)
    It's able to blit whole frames, not only 16-pixel slices...
  - libmpeg2 and opendivx codec changed to use new draw_slice()
    -> opendivx extra 64-pixel width band at right disappeared!
  - mpeg bitrate fix: if picture->bitrate==0x3FFFF (means "unspecified" ?)
    then using standard VCD bitrate (75*2324 bytes/sec)
    -> fixed seeking for those mpegs with "16MBit/s" bitrate...
  - drivers/sis_vid: video4linux interface disabled
  - broken VCD playing fixed: stream_reset shouldn't seek to 0x0...
    [bugreport: Kang Sun]
  - asf_parser: grouping implemented!  [test file provided by Gabucino :))]

mplayer v0.11-pre12: Jan 30  2001
  ./configure fixes, improved odivx-encoding, streaming fixes
  - ./configure: using /tmp/main$$.c instead /tmp.main.c, and
    remove file after tests  [SaPe]
  - ./configure: trying the gcc optimize options and fallback to 'pentium'
    if fails (useful for people with old gcc and new cpu :))
  - removed -fomit-frame-pointer from OPTFLAGS at config.mak
  - version number incremented [Gabucino]
  - odivx encoder fix: allow long (longer than xxxx.avi) destination filenames
    (sizeof() changed to strlen()...)  [Gabucino]
  - avi writer - overwrite disabled (exits with error message if destination
    file already exists...)  [Gabucino]
  - use -divxq to set encoding bitrate (in bits (no kbits!) default: 780000)
  - no audio decoding if -encode option is used
  - audio streaming disabled if -nosound specified (setting audio_id to -2)
  - fast Mpeg-ES detection (doesn't read the whole Mpeg-PS file)
  - compile-time option to disable using soundcard driver's select()
    (requires for some people with buggy/pre-alpha/etc sound driver...)

mplayer v0.11-pre11: Jan 29  2001
  streaming fixes, asf support pre, indeo5 fix
  - asf/asfinfo.c improved: now it dumps streams to files - need testing!
    (it's ready to be converted to asf demuxer and intergated into MPlayer)
  - stream.c / stream_reset() fix: now it really seek back to 0 position!
  - .asf file format detection added (no .asf reading yet!!!)
  - .asf demultiplexer added, changes in demuxer.c to handle fragmented packets
  > it plays .asf video well, but still has problems with divx/wma audio. :(((
  - indeo 5 playing fixed (removed ICDECOMPRESS_UPDATE from flags)
  - xmga resizing problems with some window managers, so default order is
    changed xmga,xma... to mga,xmga,...
  - found gcc bug: compiling MPlayer with flags 
    OPTFLAGS=-O -g -march=i686 -mcpu=i686 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -ffast-math
    cause image sizes negating -> mga_vid kernel driver Oops... :(((
  - runaway.bride.sample.avi seeking segfault discovered: AC3 resync fails :(
  - improved signal handling: module name is now printed. audio_resync added.
  - RGB opendivx encoding implemented, now AVI->opendivx is possible.

mplayer v0.11-pre10: Jan 22  2001
  OpenDivX encoding, streaming fixes, avi seek fixes
  - new libvo driver: odivx  (OpenDivX File Writer)
  - AVI file writting support, new option:  -encode filename
    to encode an mpeg/vob/vcd to opendivx:
      mplayer file1.mpg -encode file2.avi -o odivx -nosound
    (sound encoding/copy is not yet supported)
  - libvo: default driver priority changed to: xmga,mga,syncfb,3dfx,xv,x11,gl
  - avi writer: index support
  - small fixes in avi writer to be compliant (adjusted chunk/list lengths)
  - demuxer.c: stream buffering fixes:
    - missing {} in mplayer.c occuring audio reads when has_audio=0
    - reordered packet reader and pack count checks -> no more unwanted EOF
    - added 4MB buffer memory usage limit to demuxed streams
  - CPU flags in ./configure changed:
      k7 -> k6  (current stable gcc doesn't supports k7)
      386,486 -> i386,i486    [Balazs Tibor]
  - demux_avi: index check now accepts (raw.len+1)==idx.len  [Balazs Tibor]
  - FAQ added

    **  Now we are ready with planned features & urgent fixes, **
    **  it's time to final testing and then the 0.11 release!! **

mplayer v0.11-pre9: Jan 18  2001
  OpenDivX fixes,speedup
  - solved OpenDivX width problem (stride=width+(Quality?0:64))
    now -divxq 0 works, and 0 is the default
  - libvo call moved out from my_convert_yuv() so it can be measured (cpu %)
  - IDCT code ported from libmpeg
