vlc: rebuilt the 2.2.2 packages, for Slackware64-current.  This recompilation
  removes the Qt5 dependency.  Based on user feedback, there are UI issues

  libvaapi_x11_plugin.so.

+--------------------------+
Fri Feb 27 23:13:40 UTC 2015
vlc: updated to 2.2.0. First major release in a long time.

  libvdpau, live, orc, speex.

+--------------------------+
Mon Nov 17 13:42:11 UTC 2014
ffmpeg: updated to 2.4.3.  Internal libraries were refreshed to their latest
  version  New internal support libraries fdk-aac as well as x265 were added
  to provide alternative AAC and HEVC encoding.

vlc: updated to 2.1.5.
  Several internal libraries got an update as well: libass, ffmpeg, dvdnav,
  dvdread, live555, x264.

+--------------------------+
Fri May  2 20:07:06 UTC 2014
ffmpeg: updated to 2.2.1.  Internal libraries were refreshed to their latest
  version. and libzvbi was added in order to provide teletext subtitle
  decoding support.

+--------------------------+
Thu Feb 27 09:36:42 UTC 2014
vlc: updated to 2.1.4.
  This is mostly a cosmetic update to make you think you are not behind on
  version numbers... between 2.1.3 and 2.1.4 there were only Mac OSX fixes.

+--------------------------+
Wed Feb  5 19:39:42 UTC 2014
vlc: updated to 2.1.3.
  Updates to the internal live555 library, and an updated npapi-vlc browser
  plugin,

+--------------------------+
Fri Dec 27 17:45:47 UTC 2013
ffmpeg: updated to 2.1.

+--------------------------+
Sat Dec 14 12:04:19 UTC 2013
vlc: recompiled (Slackware 14.1).  I fixed the RTMP playbak which apparently
  had been broken a long time. Also I repaired the accidentally introduced
  regression that vlc would no longer play videos if libvdpau was not
  installed.

+--------------------------+
Fri Dec 13 11:17:17 UTC 2013
vlc: I re-uploaded the '1alien' builds of vlc-2.1.2 for people who do not have
  libvdpau installed. Accidentally I introduced an external dependency on
  libvdpau when I added VDPAU support. I will try to get this fixed in the
  next package release, there should be zero external dependencies.

+--------------------------+
Thu Dec 12 09:24:48 UTC 2013
vlc: rebuilt the 2.1.2 packages.
  Enabled the VDPAU driver which solves jerky playback and crashes on machines
  with a binary Nvidia driver when GPU-assisted hardware decoding is enabled.
  You need to have libvdpau installed to use this feature.

+--------------------------+
Tue Dec 10 18:08:08 UTC 2013
vlc: updated to 2.1.2.
  Enabled the 10-bit decoder in x624 (aka 'Hi10P' for Anime fans).
  Updates to the internal libraries for bluray, dvdnav, dvdread, ffmpeg,
  fribidi, live555, opus, speex, and x264,
  NOTE: these packages can not only DEcode but also ENcode mp3 and aac
        audio, and can play encrypted DVD's without the need for a
        separate libdvdcss package.

+--------------------------+
Sun Nov 17 16:05:20 UTC 2013
vlc: updated to 2.1.1.
  I also updated the libass, ffmpeg, matroska and x264 internal libraries.
  NOTE: these packages can not only DEcode but also ENcode mp3 and aac
  audio, and can play encrypted DVD's without the need for a separate
  libdvdcss package.

+--------------------------+
Wed Oct 16 21:22:04 UTC 2013
avidemux: updated to 2.6.0.  Note that this package contains LAME and FAAC
  libraries so I can not host the packages on slackware.com.
  Avidemux depends on these other packages: a52dec,aften,faac,faad2,lame,libdca,
  libvpx,opencore-amr,x264 and xvidcore.  You can find packages for those in
  my 'regular' repository, except faac (see below).
faac: built Slackware 14.0 packages.

+--------------------------+
Sat Sep 28 21:17:19 UTC 2013
vlc: updated to 2.1.0.  You'll be pleased to hear that I built packages for
  Slackware 13.37, 14.0 as well as -current (both 32-bit and 64-bit
  architectures).  This will be the last package update for Slackware 13.37
  however, with Slackware 14.1 looming on the horizon.
  The internal library versions have not changed since the release candidate
  of a few weeks ago.

+--------------------------+
Mon Aug 19 19:45:13 UTC 2013
npapi-vlc: added 20130918-git snapshot package for slackware-current.
  This mozilla-compatible videoplayer browser-plugin requires vlc.
vlc: added 20130819-git snapshot of the upcoming 2,1 release, as a package
  for slackware-current only.  You can try building this on Slackware 14
  if you want - I will probably not provide vlc-2.1 packages for
  Slackware 14.0 in future.
  All internal libraries have been updated to their latest versions.
  The player reports: "VLC media player 2.1.0-rc1 Rincewind (revision 7cbb328)"

+--------------------------+
Sun Aug 11 20:05:39 UTC 2013
vlc: updated to 2.0.8.

+--------------------------+
Wed Jun 12 16:07:04 UTC 2013
ffmpeg: updated to 1.2.  Actually I had forgotten to upload it, I had this
  for a while already...

+--------------------------+
Mon Jun  3 22:51:04 UTC 2013
handbrake: updated to 0.9.9 (packages for Slackware 13.37 and 14).

+--------------------------+
Thu May 30 22:23:13 UTC 2013
libdvdcss: updated to 1.2.13.
vlc: updated to 2.0.7.
  Updates to the internal dvdnav, dvdread, dvdcss and x264 libraries.  The
  'restricted' package finally has libdvdcss statically compiled-in which means
  you can play encrypted DVD's wihout having to install a separate libdvdcss
  package.
  Also changed the SlackBuild script slightly so that it produces a working
  package on armv7hl architecture.

+--------------------------+
Fri Apr 12 12:46:34 UTC 2013
vlc: applied a patch to (hopefully) fix the broken uPnP service discovery
  module, which was causing audio stutter in some videos.

+--------------------------+
Thu Apr 11 19:59:21 UTC 2013
npapi-vlc: updated to 20130408-git snapshot (eseentially the 2.0.6 release).
  This mozilla-compatible videoplayer browser-plugin requires vlc.
vlc: updated to 2.0.6.
  Updates to the internal ffmpeg, fribidi, live555, libvpx, and x264 libraries.

+--------------------------+
Thu Feb 14 20:55:22 UTC 2013
ffmpeg: updated to 1.1.2.
  I also updated many internal libraries, added the Ogg Opus codec and added
  "--enable-libvorbis" to the configuration (requested by some of you).

+--------------------------+
Wed Feb 13 15:36:37 UTC 2013
lame: upgraded to 3.99.5.

+--------------------------+
Sat Feb  2 22:10:06 UTC 2013
vlc: patched 2.0.5 to address a critical vulnerability as documented in
  http://www.videolan.org/security/sa1302.html.

+--------------------------+
Sun Jan 20 20:14:48 UTC 2013
tt: added v15.1 - this is tetris for terminals.
  I moved this into the "restricted_slackbuilds" repository because Pat did not
  want to risk a license claim when these sources plus packages would be hosted
  on a Slackware server.

+--------------------------+
Thu Dec 13 15:20:39 UTC 2012
vlc: updated to 2.0.5.
  Ffmpeg internal libraries were changed to git snapshot "82db8ee" which both
  VLC and MPlayer developers think is the best version at the moment (later
  versions break audio).

+--------------------------+
Thu Oct 18 21:22:44 UTC 2012
vlc: updated to 2.0.4.  Many internal libraries received updates as well.
  This is the package which has no software-patent related limitations
  - i.e. it can not just playback mp3/aac but also ENcode those formats.

+--------------------------+
Fri Sep 28 14:04:42 UTC 2012
ffmpeg:  updated to 0.11.2 and added a Slackware 14 package.  This is the
 'restricted' package with MP3 and AAC audio ENcoding capabilities.
  All my ffmpeg packages can playback MP3 and AAC audio perfectly -
  no restrictions there.

+--------------------------+
Wed Aug  1 12:25:49 UTC 2012
handbrake: updated to 0.9.8 (packages for Slackware 14 too).

+--------------------------+
Wed Jul 25 15:21:25 UTC 2012
vlc: updated to 2.0.3. This is the package which has no software-patent related
  limitations - i.e. it can not just playback mp3/aac but also ENcode those
  formats.

+--------------------------+
Fri Jun 29 07:25:14 UTC 2012
vlc: updated to 2.0.2. This is the package which has no software-patent related
  limitations - i.e. it can not just playback mp3/aac but also ENcode those
  formats.

+--------------------------+
Tue Jun  5 21:39:42 UTC 2012
ffmpeg: updated to 0.11.

+--------------------------+
Sat May 26 22:14:43 UTC 2012
ffmpeg: updated to 0.10.3.

+--------------------------+
Sat May  5 18:50:43 UTC 2012
ffmpeg: updated to 0.10.2.
  Updated several of the internal libraries: lame, schroedinger, vpx, x264.

+--------------------------+
Sat Mar 17 18:31:49 UTC 2012
vlc: updated to 2.0.1.  I did not touch any of the internal libraries.
  What I did fix however, was the missing OSS sound device support (in vlc-2
  the support for OSS must now be explicitly enabled on Lunux platforms).

+--------------------------+
Sat Feb 18 21:11:50 UTC 2012
vlc: updated to 2.0.0 !!
  This new release has been in the making for a long long time.  Initially
  stamped as the 1.2.x release series, the developers deciced a few months
  back that the changes between 1.1 and the new release were big enough to
  warrant a jump to 2.0.
  I also updated the internal support libraries to their latest versions.
  Note that the old vlc-mozplugin has gone, it never worked anyway.  In its
  place is npapi-vlc, a new mozilla-compatible browser plugin which has been
  re-written from scratch.
  Also note that this release makes my "vlcgit" package obsolete because that
  basically was building up to this new 2.0.0.  It will be removed from
  the repository.

+--------------------------+
Wed Dec 21 20:40:14 UTC 2011
vlc: updated to 1.1.13 and also updated many of the internal support
  libraries (anticipating that this may be the last 1.1.x release): libass,
  avc1394, dvbpsi, dvdnav, dvdread, ffmpeg, fluid, kate, lame, live555, orc,
  twolame, upnp, v4l, vpx, x264.

+--------------------------+
Wed Dec 14 00:11:41 UTC 2011
ffmpeg: updated to 0.9.
  I added subtitle and v4l2 support.

+--------------------------+
Sat Dec  3 18:58:27 UTC 2011
vlcgit: updated to a 20111202 snapshot (a few days after 1.2.0-pre2).
  Also updated are internal ffmpeg, upnp, mpc and x264 libraries, and I added
  gsm and rtmp libraries to the internal ffmpeg engine.

+--------------------------+
Wed Nov 23 11:59:47 UTC 2011
ffmpeg: updated to 0.8.7.

+--------------------------+
Wed Nov 16 09:56:46 UTC 2011
libdvdcss: updated to 1.2.11.

+--------------------------+
Tue Nov 15 15:57:06 UTC 2011
vlcgit: updated to a 20111114 snapshot (we're well beyond 1.2.0-pre1 now).
  Also updated are internal libass, bluray, dvbpsi, ffmpeg, fluidsynth, kate,
  lame, live555, twolame, v4l-utils and x264 libraries.  If the team decides
  to release 1.2.0 now, at least I am prepared with regard to internal libs.

+--------------------------+
Wed Nov  9 08:41:16 UTC 2011
ffmpeg: updated to 0.8.6.
  The internal lame, orc and x264 libraries were updated too.  Please note
  that this package can not ENcode mp3/aac (although it can DEcode these
  formats just fine), see here if you need packages without these restrictions:
  http://taper.alienbase.nl/mirrors/people/alien/restricted_slackbuilds/ffmpeg/

+--------------------------+
Sat Oct 29 12:54:04 UTC 2011
vlcgit: uploaded a 20111016 snapshot which I had forgotten about.
  Also updated are internal dvdread/dvdnav, ebml/matroska, live555, orc and
  x264 support libraries.

+--------------------------+
Fri Oct  7 21:23:33 UTC 2011
vlc: updated to 1.1.12 and also updated several of the internal support
  libraries (libebml, libmatroska, live555, x264).
vlcgit: updated to 20111006 snapshot. I added support for unencrypted bluray
  disks (no idea if those exist) through libbluray. However, libbluray will
  automatically use libaacs/libbdplus libraries if those are installed,
  in order to play encrypted bluray disks if possible. I also updated the
  internal ffmpeg, lbvpx, live555, v4l and x264 support libraries.

+--------------------------+
Fri Oct  7 14:45:43 UTC 2011
ffmpeg: updated to 0.8.5. The internal vpx and x264 libraries were updated too.

+--------------------------+
Sun Sep 11 00:59:38 UTC 2011
vlcgit:  rebuilt and re-uploaded the packages... the ones I initially uploaded
  were totally broken.

+--------------------------+
Sat Sep 10 11:34:56 UTC 2011
vlcgit: added a 20110827 snapshot of the development version of the VLC media
  player (1.2.0-git), which is supposed to see a first stable release near the
  end of 2011.  Some people were curious as to the new features in the future
  1.2 series, and since I was already building packages for it since early 2011
  (but never released those) I decided it would be beneficial to release some
  packages into the wild.  Any bugs you find, please direct them at the VLC
  developers!
  Note that the mozilla plugin has been completely re-designed.  There is no
  more "vlc-mozplugin".  Instead, there is now "nlapi-vlc" which should work
  better than the old and basically non-functional vlc-mozplugin.
  Lots of other changes in this 1.2.0-git release too of course, check out VLC
  changelog.

+--------------------------+
Mon Aug 15 12:09:38 UTC 2011
vlc: applied another patch to fix the youtube playback which was broken again,
  after an update of the youtube web site (try feeding vlc a youtube URL).

+--------------------------+
Fri Aug 12 10:33:27 UTC 2011
ffmpeg: updated to 0.8.2. New encoders for AAC and AMRWB were added, these
  originate from the Android project. All other support libraries were updated
  to their latest versions.
  Please report if you encounter compatibility issues between this newest
  ffmpeg and applications which use it.

+--------------------------+
Sun Jul 31 10:04:31 UTC 2011
vlc: applied a patch to fix the youtube playback which was broken after an
  update of the youtube web site (try feeding vlc a youtube URL).

+--------------------------+
Mon Jul 25 15:05:03 UTC 2011
vlc: updated to 1.1.11. This release plugs a few security holes, in the
  RealMedia demuxer (CVE-2011-2587) and the AVI demuxer (CVE-2588).

+--------------------------+
Tue Jun 28 09:13:09 UTC 2011
handbrake: I had forgotten to add my 0.9.5 packages for Slackware 13.37
  to this repository...

+--------------------------+
Sat Jun 25 22:31:59 UTC 2011
MPlayer: although MPlayer is contained in Slackware I still present you with
  updated packages - here is a 20110624 snapshot of this versatile multimedia
  player. Still built _with_ the gmplayer GUI... and including all the evil
  patented code you love so much!

+--------------------------+
Mon Jun  6 21:55:34 UTC 2011
vlc: updated to 1.1.10; also has updates for other - internal - libraries such
  as libebml, libmatroska, live555 and x264.

+--------------------------+
Thu May 12 22:56:49 UTC 2011
ffmpeg: updated to 0.6.3.  The internal codecs were updated to their latest
  versions where applicable (libva, libvpx, x264).

+--------------------------+
Thu May 12 12:51:27 UTC 2011
vlc: built Slackware 13.37 packages.

+--------------------------+
Thu May 12 11:14:20 UTC 2011
libdvdcss: built Slackware 13.37 packages.

+--------------------------+
Thu May 12 10:45:50 UTC 2011
avidemux: updated to 2.5.4. Note that this package contains LAME libraries so
  I can not host the packages on slackware.com.
  Avidemux depends on these other packages: a52dec,aften,faac,faad2,lame,libdca,
  libvpx,opencore-amr,x264 and xvidcore.
faac: built Slackware 13.37 packages.
lame: built Slackware 13.37 packages.

+--------------------------+
Tue Apr 12 13:49:44 UTC 2011
vlc: updated to 1.1.9.  No further updates to the package's component libraries
  this time.  Since this fixes a security issue (VideoLAN-SA-1103) an update
  to version 1.1.9 is strongly advised.

+--------------------------+
Thu Mar 24 13:52:57 UTC 2011
vlc: updated to 1.1.8.  The 'Media > Open file' dialog issue in KDE 4.6 has
  been fixed in the meantime (in KDE).  I have updated some components as well
  (like libupnp, libva, live555 and x264).

+--------------------------+
Tue Feb  8 20:54:36 UTC 2011
vlc: rebuilt with a slightly newer version of liblive555. This fixes the crash
  bug when you would attempt to play a rtsp:// stream.

+--------------------------+
Thu Feb  3 09:23:00 UTC 2011
ffmpeg: updated to 0.6.1.  I forgot to build this "new" stable release.
  The internal codecs were updated to their latest versions where applicable
  (gsm, libvpx, schroedinger and x264).

+--------------------------+
Tue Feb  1 11:45:19 UTC 2011
vlc: updated to 1.1.7.  This release includes a fix for Matroska/WebM remote
  code execution vulnerability (VideoLAN-SA-1102).
  VideoLAN has disabled the KDE GUI platform integration as of 1.1.7 on order
  to try and work around several issues with KDE 4.6.  I did not see any
  improvement however (VLC's "Media > Open file" still 'hangs' for 30 seconds
  the first time you want to open a file).

+--------------------------+
Mon Jan 24 20:23:05 UTC 2011
vlc: updated to 1.1.6.  This release includes a fix for a heap buffer overflow
  (CVE-2010-3907) so it is higly recommended to upgrade.
  Several internal libraries have been updated to their latest versions (x264,
  libkate, libtiger, libass, libvpx and live555).

+--------------------------+
Mon Nov 29 23:53:40 UTC 2010
vlc: rebuilt v1.1.5. I fixed both audio visualisation plugins, goom (made vlc
  crash on 32-bit) and projectM (showed only a black screen for non-US locales).

+--------------------------+
Sat Nov 13 15:18:43 UTC 2010
vlc: updated to 1.1.5 - the builtin ffmpeg/libva/live555/schroedinger/x264
  libraries were updated to their latest versions.
  I also enabled ncurses support.
  Note that this version of the vlc packages is able to encode mp3 and aac
  audio (they do not suffer from patent restrictions)

+--------------------------+
Sun Sep 26 12:02:44 UTC 2010
MPlayer: updated to a 20100926 snapshot. This package differs from the one in
  Slackware, in that it can play encrypted DVD's out of the box (does not need
  an external libdvdcss).
mplayer-codecs: Updated the 32-bit codec pack to the new 20100303 set (no
  longer a choice between "essential" and "all" - the "all codecs" pack will
  be built). Added a 64-bit codec pack (only a minimalistic "essential" pack
  is available).

+--------------------------+
Mon Aug 23 11:58:09 UTC 2010
vlc: updated to 1.1.3.

+--------------------------+
Tue Jul 20 20:52:38 UTC 2010
vlc: updated to 1.1.1. The internal live555 and x264 libraries were updated
  to newer versions.

+--------------------------+
Mon Jun 21 22:06:35 UTC 2010
vlc: updated to 1.1.0 at last!
  With this release, all previous releases of VLC have been deprecated.
  Future bugfixes will only be applied to 1.1.0 and newer.
  Several of the internal supporting libraries have been updated as well:
    ffmpeg-0.6, matroska-1.0.0 are included along with 20100617 snapshots
    for the x264 and vpx codecs.

+--------------------------+
Fri Jun 18 21:43:02 UTC 2010
ffmpeg: updated to another stable release - 0.6,
   with built-in support for WebM video provided by libvpx, and VAAPI
  hardware-accelerated decoding provided by libva. MP3 and AAC encoding are
  enabled in this package. No external dependencies!

+--------------------------+
Wed Jun 16 14:53:00 UTC 2010
vlc: updated to 1.1.0-rc4. Remember, if you want to rebuild this package, use
  the "vlcgit.SlackBuild" script, not the "vlc.SlackBuild" script (which
  builds vlc-1.0.x). Once vlc-1.1.0 is released, the two build scripts will be
  merged into one.

+--------------------------+
Sun Jun 13 19:55:00 UTC 2010
vlc: applied a patch (from videolan dev fenrir) that finally fixes the VAAPI
  crash bug. Enjoy your hardware-accelerated video playback again.

+--------------------------+
Sat Jun 12 12:42:43 UTC 2010
vlc: updated to 1.1.0.rc3. Unfortunately the RC3 still crashes when you have
  libva installed and try to play a VAAPI-accelerated video format. However,
  there is a workaround for now: passing "--no-sse2 --no-sse41" parameters to
  vlc when you want to use VAAPI GPU accelerated playback prevents the crash.

+--------------------------+
Thu Jun  3 21:52:22 UTC 2010
vlc: updated to 1.1.0-rc2, also updated internal Matroska and X264 libraries

+--------------------------+
Wed Jun  2 20:56:18 UTC 2010
avidemux: updated to 2.5.3. Remember to install all the dependencies! Get lame
  and faac from this (restricted) repository, and a52dec, aften, faad2, libdca,
  x264 and xvidcore from my main repository.
corefonts: added Slackware 13.1 packages.
faac: added Slackware 13.1 packages.
lame: upgraded to 3.98.4.
libdvdcss: added Slackware 13.1 packages.

+--------------------------+
Wed Jun  2 10:39:22 UTC 2010
handbrake: this package was moved to the "restricted area" because it contains
  MP3 and AAC audio encoding capabilities. I rebuilt it for Slackware 13.1.

+--------------------------+
Sat May 29 15:10:20 UTC 2010
ffmpeg: upgraded to the r23357 snapshot, and added encoding support for the new
  WebM video format (this version of ffmpeg already knows how to decode webm).
  Packages for Slackware 13.1 only.

+--------------------------+
Wed May 26 07:37:20 UTC 2010
vlc: switched to the official 1.1.0-rc source which has a few small fixes
  compared to my snapshot. Be sure to also install my libva and (if you own a
  Nvidia card and are using their proprietary driver) vdpau-video package if
  you want to try if hw-accel works.

+--------------------------+
Tue May 25 15:19:39 UTC 2010
vlc: forgot to upload the 64-bit mozilla plugin

+--------------------------+
Mon May 24 23:19:26 UTC 2010
vlc: the 1.1.0.rc package fixes a few serious bugs compared to the previous
  snapshot build. Also I hope to have fixed VAAPI support (but you will need
  my 'libva' and - if you have an Nvidia card with binary driver -
  'vdpau-video' packages to get hardware accelerated playback)

+--------------------------+
Mon May 24 11:23:09 UTC 2010
vlc: added snapshot build (20100523) of the upcoming 1.1.0 release. The
  packages are for Slackware 13.1 to celebrate its release. Debuting in this
  package: support for the new WebM video format recently open-sourced by
  Google.

+--------------------------+
Sun May  2 18:47:22 UTC 2010
vlc: added a testing version, vlc 1.1.0-pre3, to see how the upcoming release
  has been improved. I changed the SlackBuild a *lot*. The mozilla browser
  plugin builds properly now, and is built by default (takes ages because it
  needs to compile an internal version of xulrunner). A static QT4 interface
  is built correctly now, for those who do not install Qt4 and KDE4. Updates
  for schroedinger, ffmpeg, x264 codecs. The fluidsynth plugin works again,
  projectm visualization plugin was added (but I have not seen it working yet)
  and VAAPI support was added (but this also needs work as I could not test on
  proper hardware). Checkouts of vlc and ffmpeg snapshots is now done properly
  (you really get the version you ask for, which was not actually the case in
  the past). If you want to control what version of VLC to build, you have to
  use the VERSION variable - do no longer use the SRCVER variable!

+--------------------------+
Tue Apr 27 11:49:30 UTC 2010
ffmpeg: updated to r22900 snapshot (20100417). Updated the schroedinger codec,
  which is now on par speed-wise with the dirac codec. Also updated the x264
  snapshot (x264 can now produce blu-ray compliant video), and updated the
  lame and firewire plugin libraries. Added support for RTMP(E) - flash -
  streams through librtmp.

+--------------------------+
Tue Apr 27 11:47:20 UTC 2010
ffmpeg: updated to r22900 snapshot (20100417). Updated the schroedinger codec,
  which is now

+--------------------------+
Fri Apr 23 10:25:47 UTC 2010
vlc: updated to 1.0.6. Several security holes were fixed in this release.
  These packages contain MP3/AAC audio encoders as usual; for playback of
  encrypted DVDs you'll additionally need to install libdvdcss.

+--------------------------+
Sat Jan 30 23:25:34 UTC 2010
avidemux: updated to 2.5.2. Depends on these other packages:
  a52dec,aften,faac,faad2,lame,libdca,opencore-amr,x264,xvidcore. All of these
  can be obtained from my repositories.
faac: added a Slackware 13.0 package (32-bit).
lame: added a Slackware 13.0 package (32-bit)

+--------------------------+
Fri Jan 29 14:42:26 UTC 2010
vlc: updated to v1.0.5 (with up-to-date snapshots for the live555 and x264
  plugin libraries)

+--------------------------+
Fri Dec 11 20:55:59 UTC 2009
vlc: updated to 1.0.4. Also applied a patch to finally fix input support for
  firewire (digital video) cameras... I hope. I do not have a digital video
  camera so I can not test.

+--------------------------+
Wed Dec  9 22:57:44 UTC 2009
vlc: updated ffmpeg/live555/x264 components to their latest snapshots; patched
  ffmpeg on x86_64 to enable MMX/SSE instructions which speeds up HD playback
  quite a bit according to Thomas Morper who supplied the patch; added the
  opencore AMR audio codec (a spinoff from Google Android); and added libv4l
  support. This package comes with MP3/AAC encoding support (unlike the one
  available from my US repository at slackware.com).

+--------------------------+
Sat Nov 14 18:24:44 UTC 2009
patched to fix the bug in KDE 4.3.3 where fullscreen mode would still show the
  KDE task bar. Also took the opportunity to update the snapshots for x264 and
  live555 plugins.

+--------------------------+
Sat Nov 14 18:24:07 UTC 2009
vlc: patched to fix the bug in KDE 4.3.3 where fullscreen mode would still

+--------------------------+
Sun Nov  1 12:29:04 UTC 2009
vlc: updated to 1.0.3. Also upgraded were the internal libraries for theora
  (1.1.1), live555 (2009.09.28), schroedinger (1.0.8) and kate (0.3.6).

+--------------------------+
Sun Sep 27 14:27:41 UTC 2009
ffmpeg: updated to r20056 snapshot (20090927). The x264 and gsm codecs were
  updated to their latest version as well. This ffmpeg has support for VDPAU
  (gpu-accelerated video decoding on recent Nvidia hardware) but I have not
  tested that.

+--------------------------+
Mon Sep 21 19:58:39 UTC 2009
vlc: updated to 1.0.2

+--------------------------+
Mon Sep  7 07:32:33 UTC 2009
vlc: added a package for Slackware 13.0

+--------------------------+
Tue Sep  1 00:01:19 UTC 2009
I renamed the 'current' directories for the slackware64 packages to '13.0'

+--------------------------+
Fri Jul 31 15:16:23 UTC 2009
vlc: fixed the following modules so that they now work: x264 encoder, swscaler
  (required to play certain video formats), dc1394 (firewire input),
  fluidsynth (required to play midi files - you will have to download a SF2
  soundfont and tell vlc to use it). There are packages for 32bit Slackware
  12.2 as well as 64bit slackware-current this time.

+--------------------------+
Wed Jul 29 09:10:37 UTC 2009
vlc: ugrated to 1.0.1 and took the opportunity to update the live555 and x264
  snapshots as well. Added lua scripting support.

+--------------------------+
Tue Jul  7 18:10:29 UTC 2009
vlc: finally, 1.0.0 has been released! Packages are ready for Slackware 12.2
  and slackware64-current. Their only external dependency is libdvdcss (in
  order to play encrypted dvd's). Congratulations to the VLC team for the best
  multimedia player/streamer available.

+--------------------------+
Mon Jun 22 07:22:05 UTC 2009
vlc: added a Slackware 12.2 package for the 1.0.0.rc4 release

+--------------------------+
Sat Jun 20 11:59:27 UTC 2009
vlc: updated to 1.0.0.rc4 (also updated the live555 snapshot). I only built a
  package for slackware64 and I think I will wait with a 32bit package until
  1.0.0 is out

+--------------------------+
Wed Jun 10 17:37:37 UTC 2009
vlc: updated to the third release candidate for 1.0.0. This package includes
  patented audio encoders (mp3, aac, amr) as always, making it unfit for
  distribution on a US server.

+--------------------------+
Thu May 28 21:38:27 UTC 2009
avidemux: build against aften (ac3 encoder) which makes this a new dependency

+--------------------------+
Wed May 27 22:36:46 UTC 2009
vlc: updated to the second release candidate for 1.0.0 (slackware64 package
  only for the moment, and it is in .txz format to save bandwidth).

+--------------------------+
Thu May 21 17:58:33 UTC 2009
avidemux: added v2.44 - this is a video editor with cutting/filtering/encoding
  capabilities. It can automate encoding tasks using project definitions,
  scripting and a job queue (depends on a52dec, faac, faad2, lame, libdca,
  x264 and xvidcore packages)
faac: added v1.28 - this is a MPEG2 and MPEG-4 AAC audio encoder
ffmpeg: updated to 0.5 for slackware64
lame: added a slackware64 package
vlc: added a 1.0.0-rc1 package for slackware64

+--------------------------+
Tue May 12 19:34:22 UTC 2009
MPlayer: updated to r29301
libdvdcss: updated to 1.2.10

+--------------------------+
Tue May 12 13:51:56 UTC 2009
vlc: updated to 1.0.0-rc1

+--------------------------+
Mon May  4 16:12:41 UTC 2009
vlc: updated to 1.0.0.pre2. The DVD playback was broken in my previous 0.9.9
  package, so I decided to take the plunge and go for 1.0.0 development
  releases. I am fed up with the continuous breaking of all kind of stuff in
  0.9.x. Apart from a lot of cool new features in 1.0.0.pre2 I also updated
  several components again: x264/live555 snapshots, schroedinger/faac/faad2
  codecs and libcddb.

+--------------------------+
Mon Mar 30 22:01:37 UTC 2009
vlc: updated to new official release, 0.9.9. In the process I also fixed the
  ffmpeg video decoding which I accidentally broke when trying to fix x264
  encoding. The x264 encoding should now work as well btw ;-)

+--------------------------+
Sat Mar 28 18:28:51 UTC 2009
vlc: upgraded to 0.9.9.rc2. Fixed broken AAC audio decoding. Fixed broken DTS
  audio decoding. Updated the ffmpeg/x264/live555 snapshots.

+--------------------------+
Fri Mar 20 11:16:22 UTC 2009
ffmpeg: updated to 0.5 (the first official release in a long time)

+--------------------------+
Tue Mar 10 21:20:47 UTC 2009
MPlayer: updated to r28929

+--------------------------+
Fri Feb  6 16:12:27 UTC 2009
NOTICE: I have decided to move the directory 'vlctest' to 'vlc' and the old
  'vlc' directory has moved to 'vlc_old'. The current state of vlc 0.9.x is
  such that I think the time has come to start promoting it as the vlc version
  to use. The old 0.8.x branch using wxGTK for the user interface will not be
  removed from the repository, because it has features some people will prefer
  over the new Qt4 interface. If you keep a local mirror, be sure to rename
  these two directories before you re-synchronize or else you will be
  downloading a lot of MB...

+--------------------------+
Sun Dec 28 14:30:08 UTC 2008
ffmpeg: updated to r16039 (packaged for Slackware 12.1 and 12.2)
vlctest: created a Slackware 12.2 package for v0.9.8a

+--------------------------+
Sat Dec  6 18:02:13 UTC 2008
madwifi: updated to r3878 (20081204) snapshot. Packages built for Slackware
  12.1 and 12.2

+--------------------------+
Thu Dec  4 14:53:33 UTC 2008
vlctest: updated to 0.9.8a - with updated ffmpeg/x264/live555 snapshots, and
  added midi support through a fluidsynth plugin (does not yet seem to function
  :-/).

+--------------------------+
Wed Oct 29 19:46:48 UTC 2008
vlctest: applied a patch that re-enables embedded video in the main window.
  Thanks to Thomas Morper who verified that this works reliably with vlc 0.9.5
  and the qt 4.4.3 which is included.

+--------------------------+
Sun Oct 26 20:41:13 UTC 2008
vlc: updated to 0.9.5 with most recent snapshots of ffmpeg and x264. Added
  back the statically compiled-in Qt4 because vlc is quite sensitive to the
  Qt4 version it is compiled against.

+--------------------------+
Wed Oct  8 08:24:54 UTC 2008
vlctest: updated to 0.9.4 - Support was added for 'formatted' subtitle
  display. The ffmpeg and live555 libraries were updated to theirlatest
  versions.
   *NOTE* starting with this build, the VLC package no longer contains the QT4
  gui library. You need to install a separate QT4 package (if you run
  slackware-current you can switch to KDE4 with QT4, otherwise get a qt4
  package from my own repository that will co-exist with your existing QT3).
  This reduces the size of the package as well as the time to build it. Also,
  many people will have QT4 available already.

+--------------------------+
Wed Sep 24 19:17:05 UTC 2008
lame: updated to 0.98.2. This is a stable release, and mp3rtp is again
  included

+--------------------------+
Mon Sep  1 11:49:02 UTC 2008
vlc: added vlc-0.9.1 as "vlctest". Note that the 0.9.x releases are not
  considered stable enough to warrant official binary releases. But this
  version works pretty well. Changes compared to vlc-0.8.6 are: Qt4 instead of
  a wxWidgets GUI; many libraries updated to recent versions; vlc now built as
  a dynamically linked binary. But still, no additional software is needed to
  run my vlc package (except for libdvdcss if you want to watch DVD's)

+--------------------------+
Wed Aug  6 21:06:34 UTC 2008
ffmpeg: updated to r14080 (20080705). Update of almost all composing libraries.
  The dirac reference implementation library was replaced by schroedinger.
  This version of the package includes shared libraries which allows other
  programs to link to avcodec. Almost all additional codec libraries were
  upgraded to their latest versions as well.

+--------------------------+
Sat Jul 26 16:06:49 UTC 2008
vlc: updated to 0.8.6i
lame: updated to 3.98

+--------------------------+
Mon Jun 16 12:18:17 UTC 2008
vlc: fixed the broken support for DTS audio codec (libdca).

+--------------------------+
Tue Jun 10 15:05:43 UTC 2008
vlc: updated to 0.8.6h (thanks to Thomas Morper, fixed matroska support)

+--------------------------+
Sun Jun  1 19:13:11 UTC 2008
vlc: updated to 0.8.6g

+--------------------------+
Wed May  7 22:29:28 UTC 2008
lame: built a package for Slackware 12.1

+--------------------------+
Tue May  6 21:24:36 UTC 2008
vlc: updated the ffmpeg snapshot, package built for Slackware 12.1

+--------------------------+
Tue May  6 08:05:29 UTC 2008
MPlayer: created a Slackware 12.1 package

+--------------------------+
Sat Apr  5 12:00:20 UTC 2008
vlc: Upgraded to 0.8.6f which fixes security issues. Also updated the ffmpeg
  snapshot.

+--------------------------+
Mon Mar  3 23:57:28 UTC 2008
ffmpeg: Updated to 20080303 snapshot, along with the included x264 library
  snapshot. Also added support for the dirac codec. All libraries are
  statically linked, so this package has no package dependencies.

+--------------------------+
Sun Mar  2 23:22:10 UTC 2008
vlc: Updated to release 0.8.6e which fixes a security issue. Also upgraded the
  ffmpeg, x264 and live555 components to their latest snapshots. This package
  contains support for patented codecs like MP3, AAC.

+--------------------------+
Fri Feb  1 22:13:51 UTC 2008
MPlayer: Applied 4 security fixes. More details on the mplayer homepage,
  2008-01-30

+--------------------------+
Wed Jan 30 11:37:22 UTC 2008
vlc: New build of v0.8.6d - Updated the linked-in libraries to their most
  recent versions. Moved AAC encoder/decoder to "software with patent issues".
  Added support for theora video, DTS Coheherent Acoustics decoder. Removed
  support for AMR since vlc-0.8.6d does not compile when this is added to the
  embedded ffmpeg. Do not build the Windows DLL loader for ARCH=x86_64 so that
  the SlackBuild works there. Enable HAL, musicbrainz and teletext support.
  The vlc.SlackBuild builds the "patented software" by default; run the
  commandline "USE_PATENTS=NO ./vlc.SlackBuild" if the binary package should
  only contain software without potential patent issues. The package available
  for download was created with "USE_PATENTS=YES".

+--------------------------+
Mon Dec 10 14:00:28 UTC 2007
ffmpeg: Updated to 20071209 snapshot. This is a static build with MP3 and AMR
  audio encoders included (patented software). I also added IEEE1394
  (firewire) support, gsm codec, and updated all the other included codec
  libraries to their latest versions.

+--------------------------+
Wed Nov  7 08:54:23 UTC 2007
corefonts: Added v1.0 (arbitrary version really) - the corefonts are a set of
  TrueType fonts by Microsoft for use in web pages

+--------------------------+
Mon Oct 15 18:42:29 UTC 2007
mplayer-codecs: Updated to version 20071007

+--------------------------+
Wed Oct 10 19:56:42 UTC 2007
MPlayer: updated to 1.0rc2 - the mplayer in this package supports playing
  encrypted DVD's by using it's own internal libdvdcss library.

+--------------------------+
Sat Oct  6 14:38:13 UTC 2007
ffmpeg: Updated to 20071006 snapshot

+--------------------------+
Wed Sep  5 10:36:55 UTC 2007
vlc: Updated to 0.8.6c and created a Slackware 12.0 package
vlc-skins: Updated to the current skin pack

+--------------------------+
Wed Sep  5 10:20:55 UTC 2007
Created the ChangeLog for my restricted_slackbuilds (package with
  copyright/patent issues that I do not want hosted on the Slackware server).
