0.7.2+: 2017 July 4 No longer automatically build with ImageMagick or GraphicsMagick if present; now need to explicitly specify --with-imagemagick or --with-graphicsmagick to configure 0.7.2: 2016 December 31 Various code-quality and build improvements Support “jump pgc n” and other interaction code-generation improvements Improve reliability of dvdunauthor Don’t force infinite pause on last cell of a PGC Allow specification of provider field in VMG IFO file Add video_format(7) man page Add padding to ensure .BUP and .IFO files end up in different ECC blocks Enabled hinting of rendered subtitle text Require cell start and end times (if specified) to be nonempty 0.7.1: 2012 August 20 No longer silently fail to build dvdunauthor if libdvdread is not present; must be explicitly disabled with --disable-dvdunauthor, otherwise configure reports an error Allow format specification at top level of dvdauthor control file mpeg2desc now reports more details about video frames More explanatory XML-parsing errors 0.7.0: 2010 October 23 Reworked subtitle file reading so it can now deal with encodings like UTF-16 Default encoding for subtitle files is no longer ISO-8859-1, but taken from user's locale Add fontconfig support following a patch by Nicolas George Remove dvdauthor config files and make command line -o option take precedence over XML dest attribute. Video format no longer has hard-coded default to NTSC, unless you invoke configure with --enable-default-video-format=NTSC. You can also configure with --enable-default-video-format=PAL to default to PAL. Implement configuration of default video format as per the proposal at . File names are no longer converted to locale encoding, unless you invoke configure with --enable-localize-filenames. You can now specify fill and outline colours and outline thickness for text subtitles. Colours can be specified in additional ways, including by name and in HSV space. You can now also specify a shadow offset and colour for text subtitles Allow non-title PGCs in a titleset The VM language now allows C-style comments, as well as CDATA sections Add --nomux and --nodvdauthor-data options to spumux (thanks to TED for sponsoring this) 0.6.18: 2010 March 18 implement link-subset jumps implement audio and subpicture content attributes use dynamically-sized buffer for building IFO files version jump to forestall fork confusion 0.6.15-ldo: 2010 March 4 consistently check for errors on all file opens and when creating output directories fix remapping of colours for more than 8 subpicture streams recover from SCR moving backwards as per suggestion from Philippe Sarazin add patch from Wolfgang Wershofen to print out chapter timecodes validate all XML integer arguments and attribute values fix spurious error parsing video caption option incorporate Fedora patch from Ville Skyttä to allow building with GraphicsMagick instead of ImageMagick incorporate FriBidi patches from Ville Skyttä auto-action buttons have spatial extents too fill in more details in man pages include an adaptation of Martin Crossley's ivtv patch 0.6.14: February 24, 2007 popen mode must be 'r' or 'w', not 'rb' or 'wb' make spuunmux escape filenames in xml file properly skip padding bytes in pack header in spuunmux only allow spuunmux to process mpeg-2 files fix bug in setting the resolution field of VTS/VMGM 0.6.13: January 13, 2007 fix handling of audio packets that have no PTS patch from Romain Chantereau to fix libmagick6 not including stdarg (Closes: Debian Bug#317463) fix int/unsigned problem: dvdauthor dumps core on some mpegs (Closes: Debian Bug#345105) substantially reduce runtime memory requirements fix numerous memory leaks support '-', '&FD', and pipes more consistently and for more places if possible, make color #0 (of the 4 color subtitle palette) be transparent (Closes: Debian Bug#387828) fix byte overflow on PGC Command Table Size (Lucas Pierce) minor errorchecking for vobs with no filenames fix segfault relating to jumppad fix omission of jumppad table if a menu pgc was defined with ptt or title entry incorporate Debian manpages for dvdunauthor, dvddirdel, mpeg2desc, and spuunmux loosely support 24, 30, and 60fps buttons need even 'Y' coordinates 0.6.12: January 7, 2007 print offending vob names on audio discontinuity change assert to verbose warning for more than 128 commands per pgc fix spumux "read 0, expected 4" false warning fix border condition with TMAPT table add -n flag to skip writing output add remap support for subtitle command #7 (CHG_COLCON) fix sector number overflow in IFO files don't escape command sent to shell fix underflow wraparound in computing dts for subtitles fill in reference pointers for all 3 frames even if less than 3 exist allow last vobu of cell to have a forward pointer to self fix TMAPT bug (ptsbase=0;
