[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.
 * Addes 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).

[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...
