MPlayer 0.90-pre9 est sorti!

La dernière version de MPlayer est sortie, malheureusement ce n'est pas encore la version stable. Elle corrige des bugs majeurs et contient encore de nouvelles fonctionnalités. Le changelog est assez impressionnant.

On peut noter que suite au passage en GPL du code de DivX4, l'inclusion dans debian est en cours de discussion (en effet, la totalité de MPlayer étant devenue libre et distribuable légalement en binaires, c'est enfin possible) Voici un extrait du changelog:

Cleanups (extrait):
* divx4_vbr.c is now really GPL - with the permission of the DivX.com guys!
* mga/xmga vo shared code, vesa and svga drivers cleanup
* major vo drivers are now -fixed-vo compliant: x11, xv, xvidix, xmga, gl2
* libfame removed from main tree/release - libavcodec is faster, better etc.

Fixes (extrait):
* Some fullscreen switching fixes, including Metacity vs KDE 3.1
* Many GUI bug fixes
* SPU decoder (DVD/VOB subs): fixed 2 major bugs causing lost subtitles
* various memory leak fixes (valgrind rulez :)
* fixed RealAudio SIPR(O) codec (the wrapper didn't find the dspr.so.6)
* mms:// audio (radio) streaming fixed

Features (complet):
* new audio filter layer (libaf) - automatic samplerate conversion
* experimental -vo directx driver for cygwin build
* unrarlib included for rar'ed vobsubs
* native xvid encoding (-ovc xvid) interface for mencoder
* new softeq filter with gamma support: -vop eq2
* -ao/-vo accepts list of drivers and can fall back to one, just like -ac/-vc
* audio/video codec selection (-ac/-afm) rewritten, now uses codec/fm list
* get_delay() smoothing (-autosync) - should help buggy sound drivers
* smb:// URL support (disabled by default, ./configure part not yet done!)
* support for 1/4/8bpp raw video (requires -vop palette / -vop 1bpp)
* support for quicktime alaw/agsm audio codecs, 3IV2, 3VID video codecs
* swscale can now output to YUY2 format, upscaled (default) or unscaled (-sws 0)
* Vidix with LinuxPPC support (mach64 is confirmed to work)
* GUI: cache, autoq settings, start in fullscreen, toggle button in menu
* New video filter to overlay images over video: -vop bmovl
