File Release Notes and Changelog

Release Name: 1.0.0

Notes:
V 1.0.0 "Stick a fork in it"

* New http://blip.tv/ uploading feature for movies and still frames!
  See http://kino.blip.tv/ for more information.

* Fixed audio handling on big endian CPU architectures (thanks, Pavel Fedin)

* Improved generic video import script when using mencoder: faster, no bulky
  intermediate file, less compatibility problem between mencoder and ffmpeg,
  and retains interlacing in ITU-R 601 sources

* Added support for X-Keys Editor USB Jog/Shuttle (thanks, Shawn Rutledge)

* Added support for Jog/Shuttle to FX (jog wheel and button actions that 
  scrub only--no shuttle ring support)

* The USB Jog/Shuttle hotplug integration was changed to use udev.
  The new configure option is --enable-udev-rules-dir, which defaults
  to $sysconfdir/udev/rules.d/
  The follwing configure options were removed:
    --enable-hotplug-script-dir
    --enable-hotplug-usermap-dir

* Added private copy of ffmpeg source code for static linking with new
  configure options:
    --enable-local-ffmpeg(=yes by default), or
    --disable-local-ffmpeg
  NOTE: This option builds a statically linked, kino-specific version of the
  ffmpeg transcode utility named 'ffmpeg-kino' that is invoked by the Kino
  import script. ffmpeg-kino contains a bugfix for reading the audio on 
  imported files. However, when --enable-local-ffmpeg=no, then the import
  script uses the normal ffmpeg found in the PATH.

* Updated Italian translation

* bugfixes, of course

NOTE: versions 0.9.4 and 0.9.5 contained a bad configure option to enable
a build without the ffmpeg DV video codec. This has been corrected so that
--with-libdv-only works correctly.


Changes:
Changes in version 1.0.0:
	Changes by Dan Dennedy:
	- avi.cc: bugfix array out of bounds in GetFrameInfo when type 2 AVI
	  has more than one standard index. This resulted in either file not
	  loading or audio playing garbage.
	- configure.in: fix --with-libdv-only.
	- playlist.cc: apply patch from Jörg Kühne to bugfix compilation on some
	  compiler versions.
	- playlist: remove crash recovery flushing in SetAllDirty() since it is
	  redundant with Store(), which gets called afterwards anyway.
	- displayer.cc: apply patch from Pierre Beyssac to improve error
	  handling with XVideo mode when out of shared memory space.
	- filehandler.cc: bugfix (1638147) sound glitches in type 2 AVI due to
	  rounding error computing offset.
	- image_create.cc: bugfix segfault in Create/From File when not using
	  image file sequence--introduced in last version. Also bugfix when
	  showing warning dialog while preview running.
	- superimpose.cc: apply above image_create.cc bugfixes and resolve state
	  issues resulting in weirdness.
	- mediactrl.c: applied patch from Shawn Rutledge to add support for
	  X-Keys Editor USB Jog/Shuttle.
	- page_export_mjpeg.cc: bugfix usage of ffmpeg for AC-3 output on DVD
	  and proper cleanup of temporary files.
	- preferences.cc: default frame dropping on.
	- kino_common.cc: set default button in save dialog.
	- page_editor.cc: bugfix (1644085) jumping to frame while playing.
	- jogshuttle.cc: bugfix first usage of jog causing big jump.
	- export.{h,cc}, page_export_pipe.cc: bugfix (1647275) reporting of
	  frame being processed on second pass in Export/Other.
	- kino_av_pipe.cc: bugfix (1643924) failure on non-WAV file containing a
	  double-quote character in FX/Audio Filter/Dub or Mix.
	- kino_common.cc, page_export_pipe.cc: apply above bugfix to other
	  failure points.
	- configure.in: apply patch (1641949) to fix test for Xext when LDFLAGS
	  contains "Wl,--as-needed". Also, apply patch from Michael Shigorin to
	  fix odd build looping issue in some environments.
	- configure.in, linux-hotplug/*, kino.rules.d: replace hotplug stuff with
	  udev stuff.
	- kino_av_pipe.cc,. v4l.cc: add support for using ffmpeg to V4L capture
	  (still experimental and unsupported) when KINO_V4L_FFMPEG environment
	  variable is set and remove support for a patched version of
	  libdv/encodedv.
	- avi.cc, frame.{h,cc}, page_export_1394.cc, page_export_avi.cc,
	  page_export_pipe.cc: bugfix (1649680) numerous audio distortions on
	  big endian fixes.
	- scripts/exports/ffmpeg_dvd(_dual).sh: use mpeg-2 program stream output
	  to mplex to prevent confusion for user or potential change in ffmpeg
	  option processing.
	- scripts/import/media.sh: have mencoder expand/scale to 480 lines on
	  NTSC and 576 lines on PAL to properly retain interlacing on ITU-R 601
	  sources. Also, remove AVI (>= 1GB) compatibility issues between mencoder
	  and ffmpeg, reduce storage requirements, and improve speed by using
	  named pipes and mencoder raw output.
	- page_export_audio.cc: bugfix output frequency of lame and oggenc and
	  prevent extra, unnecessary resampling in sox and mp2enc output.
	- preferences.{h,cc}: remove no longer used dvCaptureDriver and default
	  maximum capture/DV file export frames to 0 (unlimited).
	- callbacks.h, magick_callbacks.{h,c}: move callbacks still in use into
	  main callbacks.h and remove magick_callbacks.
	- support.{h,c}: remove unused functions.
	- scripts/exports/ffmpeg_h264(_dual).sh: enable deblocking filter.
	- kino.xml, Kino.desktop: make consistent with shared-mime-info's 
	  freedesktop.org.xml.
	- preferences.{h,cc}: change a few defaults.
	- kino.glade, magick.glade: bugfix setting time value spinners due to
	  incorrect page size.
	- page_magick.cc: bugfix (1668066) deadlock when Overwite From equals or
	  exceeds To.
	- page_magick.cc: bugfix multi-threaded race conditions in preview code
	  that can lead to segfaults in plugins--e.g. double-free in dvtitler.
	  (Adds mutex around initialisation in thread startup.)
	- page_magick.cc: added scrub command handling for jog/shuttle.
	  (Keyboard coontrol would conflict with plugins' GtkEntry widgets as
	  there is no means to enforce the escape-on-focus technique as used
	  elsewhere in the Kino GUI).
	- page_magick.cc: bugfix unable to restart preview when Esc was used to
	  stop preview.
	- scripts/help.sh: remove netscape and add firefox as a fallback browser.
	- scripts/publish/frame.sh, project.sh, bliptv_frame.sh, bliptv_project.sh:
	  integrate publishing movies and still frames to http://blip.tv.
	- kino_common.cc: bugfix spawning of project.sh and frame.sh not
	  properly preserving argument values with spaces, run saved project
	  asynchronously, and fix location of recent files in menu with publishing
	  enabled.
	- commands.{h,cc}: add kino2raw function that reads a SMIL file and
	  writes every frame's raw DV to stdout.
	- main.c: run commands.cc:kino2raw() and exit when invoked kino2raw.
	- preferences.cc: enable publishing by default and add blip.tv's license
	  options as predefined copyright values.
	- scripts/exports/ffmpeg_*: improve ffmpeg mpeg-4 and flv with longer GOPs and
	  additional options "-cmp 2" and "-subcmp 2".
	- scripts/exports/mencoder_dual.sh: removed due to buggy dual pass xvid
	  integration in mencoder.
	- scripts/exports/mencoder.sh: added more profiles with average bitrates.
	- src/Makefile.am: fix compiling with ffmpeg subversion revision 8127+.
	- preferences.cc: remove stderr messages to reduce kino2raw noise.
	- scripts/exports/ffmpeg2theora.sh: tweak exports--no audio resampling
	  on best and high, highest audio quality on best, lower sample rates on
	  medium and broadband, increase video bandwidth on low, increase GOP on
	  broadband and low.
	- configure.in, Makefile.am, ffmpeg-svn-r8218.tar.gz: added configure
	  option --enable-local-ffmpeg that is =yes by default.
	- scripts/dvdauthor/growisofs.sh: added support for environment variable
	  DVD_DEVICE to override the device node for the DVD burner.
	- *.sh: added comment line to identify script as belonging to Kino package.
	- scripts/import/media.sh: added signal handling for process and pipe
	  cleanup. Uses ffmpeg-kino to encode when --enable-local-ffmpeg=yes.
	- kino_common.cc: bugfix import processes not cleaned up when user clicks
	  Cancel on import dialog; sends SIGTERM followed by SIGKILL to child
	  process.
	- kino2raw.1, ffmpeg-kino.1: added man pages.
	- riff.cc: bugfix infinite loop on AVI with chunk lengths of zero.
	- README: comprehensive update.

	  definition consists of an open-ended list of label/value pairs.
	- playlist.cc: bugfix segfault on loading empty SMIL document.
	- help: updated online help with corrections.
	- scripts/import/media.sh: prevent .ogg files from using mencoder.
