0,0 → 1,320
1.11.1: (2010-03-11)
* Added FLV1 codec
* BUGFIXES:
- Deprecate DEFAULT_INTERVAL, DEFAULT_NUMCAPS and DEFAULT_COLS as
overrides, warn about their new names (interval, numcaps and cols)
- Fix ImageMagick version detection
 
1.11: (2010-03-07)
* FEATURES
- Allow setting output filename. With extension will set output format,
without will inherit it.
- Allow percentages in height.
- Require mplayer OR ffmpeg instead of both. Having both is still
recommended for better results.
- Safe mode, for files whose length doesn't get reported correctly.
Completely automated.
Number of tries can be increased with -Ws. Repeat to increase further.
Use -WS to do try as many times as possible.
Accuracy (stepping) can be increased with -Wp. Repeat to increase
accuracy. Decrease with -WP.
Can be deliberately disabled with -Wb to force processing of broken
files. *VCS WITH -Wb WILL FAIL ON BROKEN FILES*
- Added -dp (--disable padding) equivalent to overriding HPAD to 0
* BUGFIXES:
- Don't pass ms to mplayer. It ignores them anyway and in some rare
cases breaks the last capture (possibly due to the 5-frames hack)
- Honor detected aspect ratio if found
- Try to detect files that might fail on the last capture and trigger
safe mode
- Timestamps font was being ignored. As a side effect this produced
italiced timestamps in some systems
- Fixed obscure bug with safe_rename_pattern overrides
* COMPAT: Support for bash 2.05b. This will (probably) be the last version
capable of running under bash 2.
* DVD mode revamp
- Print title file size instead of disc size when possible
- Aspect ratio detection, if available
- Use of FFmpeg if available to get better information
- Mostly x-platform, only ISOs identification is a bit better in Linux
* Added FourCCs: 3IV1, 3IV2 (3ivx); s263 (H.263); mp4v, MP4V, H264
(MPEG-4 and AVC in mov/mp4), VP6F (VP6 Flash Version), AMR
Video codec renamings:
- TechSmith codec name shortened to TechSmith SCC
- Raw RGB renamed to Raw video
* Help cleanup. The default help output is much shorter, the full text
can be displayed with --fullhelp. Also print the decoder choice near
the appropriate option (-M/-F)
* Added --anonymous to help (never was in it)
* Drop requirement on seq/jot and bc, replaced by inline awk
... New requirement: Perl (only for DVDs).
* Adopt new/fixed numbering scheme
<http://p.outlyer.net/dox/vcs:devel:renumbering>
* Check ImageMagick version (must decide which is the real minimum
required)
* Non-latin fonts revamp:
- -I no longer works alone (use -Ij or -Ik instead)
- -Ik, -Ij and --nonlatin try to pick an appropriate font automatically
- -I accepts a font name or font filename like
-Ij=Kochi-Mincho-Regular or
-Ij=/usr/share/fonts/truetype/kochi/kochi-mincho.ttf
* Deprecated options:
--shoehorn: Will be removed unless someone really needs it.
--mincho: Replaced by --nonlatin
* COSMETIC:
- Default font switched to DejaVu Sans.
Font sizes reduced to accomodate the new default.
Should fall back to a sane default if it's not available
- Much tighter padding
- Smaller timestamps font by default
- Print friendlier timestamp when a capture fails
- Print program signature to console without colour
- Use main font by default in timestamps
- Heading background colour toned down
- Added colourised output when tput is not capable (i.e. FreeBSD)
- Added prefixes when colour is not available for console output
- Don't print lsdvd error channel is DVD mode
- Suppress mv errors (e.g. over VFS being unable to preserve)
* Minimum ImageMagick version set to 6.3.5-7
* Better detection of requirements (e.g. disallow decoders without png
support)
* Allow overriding height, number of captures, interval, columns, and
padding
* UNDOCUMENTED/DEBUG:
- Allow stopping the main loop before cleaning up (--undocumented hang)
- Identification-only mode. Might be promoted to an actual feature
(--undocumented idonly)
- Allow setting ffmpeg and mplayer path (--undocumented set_ffmpeg and
set_mplayer)
- Allow disabling either mplayer of ffmpeg (as if they weren't
installed (--undocumented disable_ffmpeg and disable_mplayer)
- Added -Wc to disable console colour, repeat to disable prefixes
* INTERNAL:
- assert()
- Cleanup: correctness checks converted to asserts, removal of old dead
code
- Typos
 
1.0.100a: (2009-04-10) (1.10)
* FEATURE: FreeBSD (7.1-RELEASE) support
* COMPATIBILITY:
- Call bash through env
- Ensure we're using the correct getopt version
- Try to use POSIX sed options when appropriate
- Replaced incompatible sed constructs
- Use mktemp's common GNU/BSD(/POSIX?) syntax
- Use jot instead of seq if required and available
* BUGFIX: Don't fail if tput is unable to change colours
* BUGFIX: Check for requirements before anything else
* INTERNAL: Cache tput output
* FEATURE: Added -R / --randomsource. Mainly useful for debugging,
also to repeat a set of results and compare outputs on different
systems
* Corrected info message in photos mode
 
1.0.99: (2009-03-11) (1.9)
* FEATURE: Experimental support for DVDs (-V)
* FEATURE: Added JPEG 2000 output format (-j2)
* FEATURE/COSMETIC: Polaroid mode now produces a polaroid-like frame, the
older version is now renamed as simply 'photos'
New "funky" modes: newer polaroid, photos (older polaroid),
polaroidframe
* Overrideable variables: DISABLE_SHADOWS and DISABLE_TIMESTAMPS (set to 1
to disable)
* BUGFIX/COSMETIC: Re-added the missed space before filename
* BUGFIX/COSMETIC: Reworked alignment and padding
* Timestamps size is adjusted with smaller captures
* BUGFIX: Fixed polaroid/rotate bug where all images overlapped on the same
position (reported by Aleksandar Urošević, formerly unreproducible)
* Better detection of video/audio features by falling back to ffmpeg when
appropriate
 
1.0.12: (2008-04-16) (1.8)
* BUGFIX/COSMETIC: Corrected 0ms timestamps
* COSMETIC: Re-added the (disabled for long) black border after highlights
* BUGFIX/COSMETIC: Corrected the count of captures in manual-only mode (-m)
* FEATURE: Added a minimun length to use the end offset
* BUGFIX: Fixed the regression on highlights from the last version (extra
padding was being added by IM automatically)
* INTERNAL: Simplified use of IM's identify
* BUGFIX: Fixed parsing of manual timestamps including milliseconds
(when seconds didn't include the s character they were accidentally
multiplied by 10!)
 
1.0.11: (2008-04-08) (1.7)
* BUGFIX: (brown bag bug) Corrected typo in variable name that made vcs
fail when setting the default timecode derivation to number of
captures instead of interval (i.e. when including timecode_from=8 in
the config file) (thanks to Chris Hills for the bug report)
* WORKAROUND: Fix for all-equal captures (seems to be a known problem
with mplayer [M1]) (contributed by Phil Grundig)
* RETROCOMPATIBILITY: Older bash syntax for appending and initialising
arrays (contributed by Phil Grundig)
* COMPATIBILITY: Support alternative du syntax for compatibility with
busybox (based on Phil Grundig's contribution)
* COSMETIC: Don't print milliseconds when using mplayer as capturer
(they're not really meaningful then) (suggested by Phil Grundig)
* COSMETIC: Align the extended set captures (-e) and the standard set
(bug pointed by Chris Hills). Seems to fail at some (smaller?)
sizes.
"Funky" modes aren't correctly aligned yet.
* DEBUGGING: Added optional function call trace (by setting variable DEBUG
to 1)
* Added FOURCC for VC-1
* COSMETIC: Fixed captures recount with multiple files (prompted by a
bugreport from Dougn Redhammer)
 
1.0.10: (2007-11-08) (1.6)
* BUGFIX: Corrected aspect guessing bug: would fail if width was standard
but height not
* FEATURE: Allow explicitly disabling timestamps (-dt or --disable
timestamps)
* FEATURE: Allow explicitly disabling shadows (-ds or --disable shadows)
* Added HD resolution guessed aspect ratio (defaults to 16/9)
* OTHER: Changed e-mail address in the comments to gmail's, would probably
get a quicker response.
 
1.0.9a: (2007-06-10) (1.5.2, -Brown bag- Bugfix release)
* BUGFIX: Fixed regression introduced in 1.0.8a: unsetting numcols
broke extended mode captures (Thanks to 'Aleksandar Urošević').
* BUGFIX: Use the computed number of columns for extended mode
(instead of the global one)
 
1.0.8a: (2007-06-02) (1.5.1, Bugfix release)
* BUGFIX: User set number of columns wasn't being used if -n wasn't used
(Thanks to 'Homer S').
* BUGFIX: Right side of heading wasn't using the user's font colour
(Thanks to 'Dougn Redhammer').
 
1.0.7a: (2007-05-12) (1.5)
* Print title *before* the highlights.
* Added the forgotten -O and -c to the help text (oops!)
* Experimental: Allow using non-latin alphabets by switching font. See -I.
It only affects the filename! Also allow overriding the font to be used
to print the filename ($font_filename). Right now only using a Mincho font,
it can be overriding by overriding $FONT_MINCHO.
* Make title font size independent of the timestamps size. And allow
overriding the title font ($font_title), font size ($pts_title)
and colours ($fg_title and $bg_title).
* Allow overriding the previews' background ($bg_contact)
* Added getopt, identify, sed, grep and egrep to the checked programs
* BUGFIX: Corrected test of accepted characters for intervals
* INTERNAL: New parsing code
* FEATURE: Replaced hard by soft shadows
* BUGFIX: Corrected console colour usage: Print the colours to the correct
channel
* Made tput (coloured console output) optional (AFAIK should be present in
any sane system though).
* FEATURE: Funky modes (more to come...): Polaroid, Film (rough, initial,
version), Photoframe and Random colours/fonts. (see --help)
* INTERNAL: Use /dev/shm as base tempdir if possible
* BUGFIX: Fixed safe_rename(): Don't assume current dir, added '--' to mv
* Added workaround for ffmpeg arguments order
* Allow getting the output of ffmpeg/mplayer (with $stdout and $stderr)
* INTERNAL: Renamed info() to inf() to eliminate ambiguities
* INTERNAL: guess_aspect() doesn't operate globally
* Reorganized help by alphabetical/rarity order
* FEATURE: Full milliseconds support (actually, full decimal point seconds),
timecode format extended to support e.g. 3m.24 (which means 00:03:00.240)
* BUGFIX/FEATURE: The number of extended captures is rounded to match the
standard columns (extended width matches standard)
* Made FOURCCs list case sensitive (the list has grown enough that I no
longer see a benefit in being ambigous)
* Added codec ids for On2's VP3, VP4, VP5 and VP6, TechSmith Screen Capture
Codec (Camtasia's) and Theora, expanded list of FOURCCs of Indeo's
codecs.
* Added -E / --end_offset / $DEFAULT_END_OFFSET, used to eliminate some
seconds from the end
 
1.0.6b: (2007-04-21) (1.4.1, Bugfix release)
* BUGFIX: Use mktemp instead of tempfile (Thanks to 'o kapi')
* Make sure mktemp is installed, just in case ;)
 
1.0.5b: (2007-04-20) (1.4)
* INTERNAL: Split functionality in more separate pieces (functions)

* FEATURE: Extended mode (-e)
* FEATURE: Added -U (--fullname)
* Requirements detection now prints all failed requirements
* BUGFIX: (Regression introduced in 1.0.4b) Fail if interval is longer
than video
* Don't print the success line unless it was really successful
* Allow quiet operation (-q and -qq), and different verbosity levels
(only through config overrides)
* Print vcs' identification on operation
* FEATURE: Auto aspect ratio (-A, --autoaspect)
* INTERNAL: Added better documentation of functions
* Print coloured messages if possible (can be disabled by overriding
$plain_messages)
* FEATURE: Command line overrides (-O, --override)
* BUGFIX: Don't allow setting -n0
* Renamed codec ids of WMA2 (to WMA8) and WMA3 (to WMA9)
* Changed audio codec ids from MPEG-1 to MPEG, as there's no difference,
from mplayer's identification at least, between MPEG-1 and MPEG-2
* Audio identified as MP2 can also actually be MP1, added it to the codec id
* Added codec ids for: Vorbis, WMA7/WMA1, WMV1/WMV7, PCM, DivX ;),
OpenDivX, LAVC MPEG-4, MSMPEG-4 family, M-JPEG, RealVideo family, I420,
Sorenson 1 & 3, QDM2, and some legacy codecs (Indeo 3.2, Indeo 5.0,
MS Video 1 and MS RLE)

* Changed default signature background to SlateGray (blue-ish gray)
 
1.0.1a: (2007-04-13) (1.1)
* Print output filename
* Added manual mode (all timestamps provided by user)
* More flexible timestamp format (now e.g. 1h5 is allowed (means 1h 5secs)
