[ANN] vlc 0.1.99i

[Samuel Hocevar]

   Version 0.1.99i of the VideoLAN Client (vlc) is out. It mainly fixes
a few display bugs and an issue with the VideoLAN Mini Server.

   Amongst the hot news, we now have field image support, and people
having experienced image distortions (especially on the DBBroadway.vob
sample stream) should notice a huge picture quality improvement.

   Lucky french people can now watch the Bricol'Girls DVD as well, since
it is field encoded.

   Also, the `--server foo' option now really works and can be used with
the vlms.


   From the ChangeLog :

  * fixed the support for field pictures, which involved a few dozens
    bugs in the video parser and video decoder.
  * put names of authors under a lot of source files, for historical
    purposes.
  * fixed another input_file exit bug for the beos version.
  * fixed the aliases install.
  * renamed an inconsistent variable in src/input/input_file.c.
  * added support for I+ synchro (all Is and the first P).
  * fixed a motion compensation bug which generated some distortion
    on B images.
  * fixed a motion compensation bug for skipped macroblocks.
  * fixed a synchro bug for field images.
  * cleaned Octplane's crappy indentation.
  * fixed the --server option which didn't work if a ~/.vlcrc existed.

   Mailing-list :

   People subscribed to `vlc' and who do not necessarily want to
read discussions about the vlc can subscribe to `videolan-announce'
instead. Reversely, people subscribed to `videolan-announce' may want to
subscribe to `vlc' to follow discussions about the client.
