Hello xine users,
It has been four months since our last release, so just in case you started to
wonder: Yes, we are still alive. You as our users have been sitting tight for
so long without complaining that you all deserve a reward. Some could say this
long period proves that xine 1.0 actually is as stable as we hoped it to be,
others would say we are just lazy. So here is to prove them wrong:
Apart from the usual load of bugfixes, xine-lib 1.0.1 comes with some major
improvements on the output side: The XvMC plugin has received numerous
enhancements and the OpenGL plugin now uses the pixel shaders of your video
hardware to accelerate the playback, specifically the colorspace conversion.
Of course we also support new media formats like the often requested WMA voice
codec and WMA lossless.
For those interested in details, here is the complete changelog:
* Big XvMC quality / correctness / cpu-usage fix. [bug #1114517]
