[b]Version 0.8.7[/b]:

(2014-03-12)
 * New translation: British English.

(2014-03-09)
 * Add audio/aac, audio/flac, audio/ogg to smplayer.desktop and
   smplayer_enqueue.desktop.

(2014-03-07)
 * Another workaround for opensubtitles.

(2014-02-20)
 * Add more media keys as shortcuts.

(2014-02-09)
 * Add the option 'Global audio equalizer' in preferences -> general
   -> audio.
 * (Windows) Now it's possible to open Windows shortcuts (symlinks).

(2014-02-06)
 * Add more presets to the audio equalizer.
 * (Windows) Add an option in preferences -> subtitles to enable or
   disable the use of the windows font directory.
   Disabling this option prevents the annoying font scanning.

(2014-01-20)
 * Don't ignore the wheel event in the timeslider.
 * Don't display the resolution of the video in the statusbar if the
   width or height is 0.

(2014-01-19)
 * New option min_step for smplayer.ini (section [General]).
   Sets the step value for the actions that increase or
   decrease the volume, contrast, brightness...

(2014-01-07)
 * Add an option in preferences -> interface to set the time
   to hide the floating control.

(2013-12-20)
 * Add the option "Show only when moving the mouse to the bottom of the screen"
   in preferences -> interface -> floating control.

(2013-12-11)
 * Use -noflip-hebrew when using -ass. It seems to be necessary to
   display arabic subtitles correctly.

(2013-12-09)
 * Add option for aspect ratio 11:8.

(2013-11-19)
 * (Experimental) Add an option in preferences -> advanced to use the
   lavf demuxer by default.

(2013-11-12)
 * Add an option in preferences to enable or disable the delay of
   the mouse left button.

(2013-11-11)
 * Avoid that the action for left button of the mouse is activated with a
   double click.
 * (Skingui) Update the volume control when mute is changed.

(2013-11-10)
 * Fix the option "Move the window when the video area is dragged".

(2013-11-06 - 2013-11-08)
 * Add a basic support to play blurays.

(2013-11-04)
 * Add support for the mp4/m4a files downloaded by youtube-dl.
   Now when opening a mp4 file, smplayer will check if there's a 
   file with the same name but extension m4a. In that case the m4a file 
   will be used as the audio.

   This is intented to play the DASH format from Youtube, where the video and
   audio are in separated files. The application youtube-dl can download
   those files.

   This feature can be turned off by setting autoload_m4a to false in 
   smplayer.ini (no option in the GUI yet).

   Notice: you need a recent version of mplayer or mplayer2. With older
   versions seeking don't work with these files.

(2013-10-30 - 2013-11-05)
 * The control for fullscreen mode has been rewritten and improved.
   Now it shows over the video (not reducing the video) in all
   GUIs.

(2013-10-16)
 * (Skingui) Don't use a fixed size for the font of the menubar.
   It can cause that the menu bar won't be visible with some fonts.

(2013-10-04)
 * (Windows) Apply patch for better screensaver disabling, by Vavooon
   (http://forum.smplayer.info/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=6778)

(2013-10-02)
 * Remove the "About Qt" option.

(2013-09-22)
 * Start to implement presets for the audio equalizer.

(2013-09-05 - 2013-10-03)
 * Improve support for the encrypted signatures of Youtube.

(2013-08-29 - 2013-10-09)
 * Adapt the code for Qt 5.
   Note: the MpcGui is not available if compiled with Qt 5.


[b]Version 0.8.6[/b]:

(2013-07-30)
 * Add option Help->Donate.

(2013-07-26)
 * Add option to show or hide the resolution info in the skingui.

(2013-07-25)
 * Don't report about new version if installed version is newer.

(2013-07-23)
 * Set the layout of the control widgets to left to right even when
   using a right to left language.

(2013-07-22)
 * Another fix for finding subtitles. Sometimes it doesn't return any 
   result with 2 items in the search but it does with 1. 
   Workaround: use 3 items... Seems to work in all cases.

(2013-07-21)
 * Read the script from the file ytsig.script in the smplayer config
   directory.
 * Ask the user to update the youtube code when an unknown signature is
   found.

(2013-07-20)
 * Youtube: now the signature decrypt function is written in script code 
   instead of C++.

(2013-07-16)
 * Add a workaround for a problem with opensubtitles.org. Sometimes it
   returns no subtitles when a query with only one search is performed.

(2013-07-11)
 * Youtube fix.
 * Don't show the "youtube browser" entry in the menu and toolbar if
   smplayer has been compiled without support for youtube.

(2013-07-10)
 * Youtube fix.

(2013-07-05)
 * Be sure the main window is visible when another instance requests to 
   open a file.

(2013-06-28)
 * Youtube fix.

(2013-06-26)
 * Add an "updates" section in preferences, where the user can configure
   the update checker.

(2013-06-24)
 * Ignore -fontconfig and -nofontconfig in the additional options if using 
   mplayer2.

(2013-06-21)
 * Youtube fix.
 * Youtube improvements.

(2013-06-18)
 * Check for infinite recursion in favorites.

(2013-06-13)
 * Bugfix. The list of subtitles found at opensubtitles was not deleted, so
   the list of subtitles wrongly displayed subtitles for previous searches.

(2013-06-07)
 * A new icon has been added for the mplayer error dialog.

(2013-06-05)
 * Bugfix in the skingui. In fullscreen mode, the menubar would appear if the
   mouse was near of the top of the video area. Now it shows only if the mouse
   is near of the top of the main window.
 * Display a wait cursor during the creation of the preferences and properties 
   dialogs.

(2013-06-03)
 * Save/restore the window state.

(2013-05-22)
 * Add an option for command line: -delete-config.
   This option deletes the smplayer configuration files.
   The files which are deleted are: smplayer.ini, smplayer_files.ini, 
   styles.ass and all files in the subdirectory file_settings.

(2013-05-16)
 * (Experimental) Download the subtitles from opensubtitles.org in gzip
   format instead of zip. The quazip library is not needed anymore.

(2013-05-15)
 * Bugfix: check for the skin in the user dir before falling back to the
   default gui.

(2013-05-13)
 * (Windows) Read and write text to mplayer as utf8. 
   Hopefully this will fix loading of external subtitles if the 
   filename contains non latin characters.

(2013-05-12)
 * (Skingui) Add a label to display the resolution of the video.


[b]Version 0.8.5[/b]:

(2013-05-05)
 * The volume slider in the skingui now updates the volume while the
   slider is been moved.

(2013-05-03)
 * Add the Malay translation, by abuyop (transifex).

(2013-05-02)
 * Compile without USE_FONTCONFIG_OPTIONS in linux to prevent the
   -fontconfig problem when using mplayer2.

(2013-05-01)
 * Add an option to enter url(s) in the playlist.

(2013-04-30)
 * The SkinGUI is now the default gui.
 * If the SkinGUI is selected, a check is done on startup to see if the
   skin theme is installed. If not found, the default gui will be used.
 * New command line option: -skingui

(2013-04-28)
 * The option "Move the window when the video area is dragged" is
   now disabled by default because it has some issues that need to
   be fixed.

(2013-04-24)
 * Connect to opensubtitles.org using xmlrpc instead of using the
   simplexml method, which it seems it's not working well and that causes
   that smplayer couldn't find subtitles. This fixes the problem.

(2013-04-20)
 * Add two new options for Audio -> Stereo mode: Mono and Reverse.

(2013-04-07)
 * The size actions work even the autoresize is set to never.
 * Set the resize method to never as default.


[b]Version 0.8.4[/b]:

(2013-03-15)
 * Change the default value for file and stream cache to 2048.

(2013-03-11)
 * Add the option "Pressing the stop button once resets the time position"
   in preferences -> interface -> seeking.

(2013-03-07)
 * (Testing) Now smplayer checks for updates automatically. 
   On startup it connects to the smplayer web to know if there's a new 
   version available and in that case the user gets a notification.
   The check is only done once per week, and it can be totally disabled
   by setting "enabled=false" in the [update_checker] section in smplayer.ini.

(2013-03-04)
 * Add the checkbox "Move the window when the video area is dragged" 
   in preferences -> interface.

(2013-03-03)
 * Add an option in the help menu to show a first steps guide.

(2013-03-01)
 * (Windows) Fix: now all key shortcuts should work when using the
   floating control.

(2013-02-28)
 * Hopefully fix bug 3605753 (stay-on-top-while-playing not
   working after fullscreen).

(2013-02-27)
 * Add a submenu to the help menu, to share smplayer with your friends.
 * Add support for encoding ISO-8859-16 for subtitles.

(2013-02-22)
 * Copy the content of the clipboard, if it looks like a url, to 
   the open url input field.

(2013-02-16)
 * Now it's possible to set the fps for external subtitles.

(2013-02-11)
 * Change the default value of the OSD to "subtitles only".
 * Change the default value of "allow frame drop" to false.

(2013-02-05)
 * Add the Thai translation, by àž¡àž²à¹‚àž™àžŠàžà¹Œ àžªàž¡àžšàž±àžàž”àžŽà¹Œ <xyteton at hotmail dot com>

 * Add the Hebrew translaton, by Genghis Khan <genghiskhan at gmx dot ca>

(2013-01-26)

 * Don't use slices as default, as it seems to cause problems when using
   multiple threads.

(2012-11-08)
 * (Windows) When a new version is run for the first time it tries to
   create a font cache before showing the GUI. Avoids that the font cache
   would be created when the user plays the first video.

(2012-11-05)
 * (Windows) Don't change the priority of the smplayer process. Fixes a
   freeze that may happen on windows xp when you click on the video window.

(2012-10-28)
 * Port the umplayer skins to smplayer.

   Code copied from umplayer.

(2012-10-05)

(2012-09-21)
 * Add the option "Report MPlayer crashes" in Preferences -> Advanced.
 * New option for smplayer.ini: time_to_kill_mplayer. Specifies the
   time (in milliseconds) that smplayer should wait before killing
   the mplayer process if the process doesn't teminate on its own
   when the stop button is pressed. Default value: 5000.


[b]Version 0.8.1[/b]:

(2012-09-14)
 * Fix youtube playback.

(2012-08-26)
 * Fix: mplayer2 was not recognized if the name was in lowercase in the
   identification string.

(2012-08-24)
 * Show the background picture on stop.

(2012-08-14)
 * Youtube: don't use a user agent by default. It's possible to set
   the user agent in smplayer.ini though.

(2012-07-30)
 * Add mka and m4a to the list of extensions (for audio).

 * Bug fix: remote m3u didn't open from the favorites menu or command line.

(2012-03-17)
 * Move the blur and sharpen filters to a group, so only one can be activated.
   It doesn't make much sense to be able to enable the blur and sharpen
   at the same time.
 * Move the denoise and blur/sharpen options to submenus.
 * Youtube quality by default is now mp4/720p.
 * The default width of the floating control is now 70%.
 * Toolbar editor: give a name to the widget actions (time slider and so on).

(2012-03-15)
 * Add gradfun to video -> filters.
 * Add blur and sharpen filters.

(2012-03-14)

(2012-03-13)
 * Toolbar editor. If you right click on any toolbar you'll get a menu
   with options to edit the toolbars (including the control bars).
   That will show a new dialog, with two list. On the left you'll see
   all available actions (mainly buttons, but also volume or seek sliders) 
   and on the right the current actions.
   The left and right buttons allow to move actions from one list to the
   other. The up and down buttons move the selected action in the current
   actions' list.
   The "add separator" button allows to add more separators.
   The "defaults" button removes all your changes in the current actions' 
   list and sets the default actions for the toolbar.

(2012-03-08)
 * Use QtSingleApplication instead of the old client/server code to use a 
   single instance and communication with other instances.
 * Possibility (smplayer.pro) to disable the build of some parts of the
   code (QtSingleApplication, Youtube support, Find subtitles and 
   video preview).
 * Fix: the buttons to select the color of the subtiles in preferences ->
   subtitles may not change the background color with some styles. Now the
   color is changed using a stylesheet, so it should work with all styles.

(2012-03-03)
 * Improve detection of youtube urls.


[b]Version 0.7.1[/b]:

(2012-03-01)
 * Apply handle_local_urls.diff 
   (https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3294481&group_id=185512&atid=913575)

(2012-02-27)
 * Youtube: flv videos now have the lowest priority.

(2012-02-25)
 * New option in the menu Options to run the smplayer youtube browser
   (if installed).
 * The single instance is enabled by default on windows.

(2012-02-22)

   (now it uses the Qt dialog).

(2012-02-19)
 * Store by default the screenshots in a folder inside the user's pictures 
   folder. (Requires Qt 4.4)
 * Bugfix: don't try to create the lock file if the config dir doesn't exist.
   This caused a 10sec delay when smplayer is run for the first time.


[b]Version 0.7.0[/b]:

(2012-01-28)
 * Add Help -> Check for updates (replaces Help -> Tips)

(2012-01-27)
 * Simplify the about dialog.

(2012-01-25)

 * Use precise seeking is using mplayer2.
 * Add an option in preferences -> interface to enable or not precise seeking.

(2012-01-24)
 * Move the open dvd, vcd and audio cd to a submenu.

(2012-01-23)
 * New option for command-line: -disable-server. This option disables the 
   server used to communicate with other instances. This, of course, disables 
   too the possibility to use a single instance.

(2012-01-23)
 * Move the favorite menu to the open menu, and add an icon to the toolbar.

(2012-01-13 - 2012-01-21)
 * New favorite menu, where you can add your favorite videos, music, streams,
   youtube videos... It's also possible to add submenus.

(2012-01-20)
 * Use QtLockedFile instead of QxtFileLock, so we can get rid of the libqxt
   dependency on windows.
   The QtLockedFile is under the BSD license.

(2012-01-19)
 * The title of youtube videos is displayed correctly. And the stream url is 
   replaced by the url of the youtube page.

(2012-01-14)
 * Added the Croatian translation, by jk <[email protected]>

(2012-01-12)
 * Detect asx, m3u, pls, and ram streams and pass -playlist to mplayer, so
   the user doesn't have to indicate if a url is a playlist.

(2012-01-11)
 * Added an option in preferences -> performance to select the desired
   quality for youtube videos.

(2012-01-11)
 * Added a very basic support for youtube. Now you can open urls like
   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dq4Oj5quskI in smplayer (Open -> URL). 
   You can also drag and drop a link from a browser to the smplayer window.

(2012-01-04)
 * New option "Hide video window when playing audio files" in 
   preferences -> interface.


[b]Version 0.6.10[/b]:

(2011-12-06)
 * Added a vdpau configuration dialog, now it's possible to select which 
   vdpau codecs to use.

(2011-12-05)
 * Patch by Silvan Scherrer <[email protected]> to add support for
   eCS, OS/2.

(2011-12-03)
 * Removed the option "Visualize motion vectors". It caused problems to many
   people when activated by mistake.

(2010-12-07)
 * Added a submenu to select the closed caption channel. 
   Requires mplayer >= r32607.

(2010-09-03)
 * Added webm and vp8 to the list of extensions (for video).

(2010-07-30)
 * Added thd to the list of extensions (for audio).

(2010-04-28)
 * Added hdmov to the list of extensions (for video).

(2010-04-22)
 * Added f4v to the list of extensions (for video).

(2010-04-14)
 * (Experimental) If using mplayer svn r31030, the audio filters (karaoke, 
   extrastereo and volnorm) are changed without restarting mplayer, using the
   new slave commands af_add and af_del.

(2010-03-22)
 * For consistency, the playlist preferences have been moved to the
   playlist section in the main preferences dialog (and the playlist own
   preferences dialog has been deleted).
 * Added the Danish translation, by Martin Schlander <[email protected]>

(2010-03-01)
 * Added the possibility to select the seeking method (absolute or relative) in
   Preferences -> Interface.

(2010-02-25)
 * Possibility to sort the items of the playlist. Implemented by 
   Neo254 <[email protected]> 
   http://smplayer.berlios.de/forum/viewtopic.php?p=423#p423


[b]Version 0.6.9[/b]:

(2010-02-18)
 * New option for smplayer.ini: relative_seeking (section [gui]). If true
   seeking (with the time slider) will be done by using a percentage. If false
   seeking will be done using an absolute time. The default value for this
   option is true.

(2010-02-09)
 * Fix: using now -af channels to select the left or right audio channel, as 
   it seems the -stereo option in mplayer doesn't work as expected.
   Should fix bug #1962349.

(2010-02-02)
 * Added a new action to toggle deinterlacing (assigned to key D). It just 
   runs the mplayer slave command "step_property deinterlace". It toggles 
   deinterlacing on/off. Requires the yadif or kerndeint filters.
   Note: when using this action, the deinterlace menu is not updated.

(2010-02-01)
 * Added an option (Options -> Statusbar) to display the video resolution and
   fps in the statusbar.
 * For consistency, moved the option to show the frame counter to the submenu
   Options -> Statusbar. (Which by the way required to remove the old and ugly
   implementation and create a new one)

(2010-01-28)
 * (Experimental) Now the slider seeks again by percentage instead of time, but
   this time the percentage uses fractions so it should be as accurate as
   before, and makes seeking work better when the length reported by mplayer is
   wrong.

(2010-01-20)
 * Now the command line options -close-at-end and -no-close-at-end don't
   modify the preference's option "close when finished playback".
 * Now the command line options -fullscreen and -no-fullscreen don't
   modify the preference's option "start videos in fullscreen".

(2010-01-15)
 * (Linux) Use pulse as default audio output instead of alsa, as alsa is
   causing problems (at least) in Ubuntu 9.10 when seeking on a video (image
   freezes).

(2010-01-10)
 * Fix: the "unicode" encoding for subtitles works now on Windows.

(2009-12-13)
 * Added the possibility to mark an A-B section. When the A-B section has been
   selected only that section will be played. If the option Play->Repeat is 
   enabled, the A-B section will be repeated.
   A new submenu "A-B section" has been added to the "Play" menu, with the
   following options:
     - set A marker
     - set B marker
     - clear A-B markers
     - repeat
   This is exactly how it works: 
    - the "set A marker" option allows to mark the beginning of the section. 
      If the B marker has previously been set, the file will be restarted so 
      the change can take effect.
    - the "set B marker" option allows to mark the end of the section.
      If the A marker has previously been set, the file will be restarted so 
      the change can take effect.
    - the "clear A-B markers" option deletes the A and B markers and restarts
      the playback so the change can take effect. If the A and B markers 
      weren't set, this option does nothing.
    - if the "repeat" option is enabled, the A-B section will played back once
      and again (If no A-B section is set, the whole file will be repeated). 
      If the "repeat" option is not enabled, when the playback gets to the B 
      marker, the file will be stopped. 

   Notice: as a side effect, when an A-B section has been set, any action which
   requires to restart mplayer, will start the playback at the A marker and not
   at the point it was previously!

(2009-11-26)
 * Added icons for the buttons in the find subtitles window.

(2009-11-19)
 * Added the new option "Save SMPlayer log to file" in Preferences -> Advanced
   -> Logs. If the option is checked, the smplayer logs will be saved to
   to a file named smplayer_log.txt in the smplayer config file (in linux
   $HOME/.config/smplayer/).

(2009-11-06)
 * Pass the text for the slave command osd_show_text in utf8. Should fix
   bug #2854097 (incorrect charset in OSD texts). 
   Fix based on a patch by c0rnholio 
   (https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=913575&aid=2893306&group_id=185512)

(2009-10-26)
 * Added a new option for smplayer.ini: fast_load_sub
   If true (the default) loading an external subtitle will be fast
   because it will be done by using a slave command (which is nice but it
   has the problem that smplayer may restore the wrong subtitle after a
   restart of the video). If false, the subtitle will be loaded by
   restarting mplayer (which is a little bit slower but doesn't have the
   mentioned problem).

(2009-10-20)
 * Bugfix: pad the hash for opensubtitles with zeroes. This bug caused that
   sometimes smplayer couldn't find any subtitles for a given file.

(2009-10-03)
 * Applied patch smplayer-3270-mandriva-mplayer-version.patch by Anssi Hannula 
   (http://sourceforge.net/users/anssih/). Makes SMPlayer detect the mplayer 
   version strings in Mandriva.

(2009-09-14)
 * New action "show_filename" (assigned to Shift+I). It displays the filename
   in the OSD.

(2009-09-13)
 * Don't pass to mplayer any audio filter (-af ...) when using -afm hwac3.

(2009-09-09)
 * (Streams) Added support to 'StreamTitle' without 'StreamUrl'

(2009-09-04)
 * Applied patch mousewheel_seekalt_checkbox_r3257.patch by Steven Eastland
   (grassmonk at users.sourceforge.net). It adds the possibility to reverse
   the direction of seeking with the mouse wheel.

(2009-08-31)
 * Added the checkbox "Disable video filters when using vdpau" in Preferences ->
   General -> Video.

(2009-08-30)
 * (Linux) New option for smplayer.ini: disable_video_filters_with_vdpau. If 
    set to true /the default) all video filters will be disabled when using 
    the vdpau vo.

(2009-08-16)
 * All video filters in the Video menu will be shown disabled if using vdpau.

(2009-08-12)
 * Bugfix: some of the items in the the recents menu may be lost.

(2009-07-31)
 * The default cache for local files is 0.
 * New option for smplayer.ini: osd_delay. It specifies the delay in 
   milliseconds to show the OSD (default 2200).

(2009-07-30)
 * If using vdpau, don't pass any video filter to mplayer (instead of passing 
   them and then clear them with -vf-clr)


[b]Version 0.6.8[/b]:

(2009-07-14)
 * Check for new channels first in ~/.mplayer/channels.conf.ter. Use 
   channels.conf if channels.conf.ter is not found.
 * Removed the "Jump..." item from the tv and radio menus. The actions
   are still available.
 * (Playlist) Fix: don't try to a load pls file if the file doesn't exist.
   Prevents QSettings to create subdirectories pointing to that file.
 * Updated the texts of the OSD options.

(2009-07-13)
 * Moved the option "Visualize motion vectors" from menu Options to menu
   Video.

(2009-07-12)
 * Fixed error "302 - Moved temporarily" when connecting to opensubtitles.org.

(2009-07-09)
 * Added the new option "Jump" to the TV and radio menus. It displays a dialog
   which allows the user to enter the number of the channel to open.

(2009-07-07)
 * Applied patch numbered_recent_files.diff by greenest 
   (greenest at users.sourceforge.net). It adds numbers in front of the recent 
   files, and a key accelerator.

(2009-07-06)
 * Save the last TV channel, which will be used when "dvb://" or "tv://" is
   opened.

(2009-07-05)
 * (Linux) vdpau doesn't allow to use any video filter (mplayer would crash)
   so now smplayer will clear the filter list if vdpau is used.
 * New option for smplayer.ini (section [playlist]): automatically_play_next.
   If set to false the playlist won't play the next item when the current one
   finishes.

(2009-07-04)
 * The settings of TV channels are saved on ~/.config/smplayer/smplayer_tv.ini.

(2009-07-02)
 * Added a new section in the preferences dialog: TV and radio.

(2009-06-30)
 * Apply patch play_action_disabled_while_playing.diff by Francesco Cosoleto.
   (cosoleto at users.sourceforge.net). It disables the play action while 
   playing.
 * (Fix) Now the command line option -sub passes the subtitle file to another 
   running instance.

(2009-06-29)
 * Added actions to select the previous and next tv channels, and also for
   previous and next radio. Assigned by default to the keys L and H (for TV) 
   and Shift+L and Shift+H for radio.

(2009-06-28)
 * Changing chapters works again with mplayer > svn r29407 (0-based).
   For DVDs, it only works if cache = 0.
 * Added two options for smplayer.ini (section [tv]): 
   check_channels_conf_on_startup and initial_tv_deinterlace.

(2009-06-27)
 * The tv and radio submenus can be added to the toolbars (tv_menu and 
   radio_menu).

(2009-06-25)
 * New menus Open->TV and Open->Radio. The items for those menus are taken from
   ~/.mplayer/channels.conf. The services with video and audio pid are added
   to the TV menu, those with audio pid are added to the radio menu. The
   rest are discarded. The file channels.conf is rescanned on every startup
   and will add new channels to the menus. 
   Note: the file channels.conf is not read at all on Windows (mplayer lacks 
   dvb support on Windows).
 * The list of channels can be edited.

(2009-06-23)
 * Initial support for TV (dvb:// and tv://):
    - You can open dvb channels through commandline (smplayer 
      dvb://CHANNEL_NAME). It may also work with tv:// but it's untested.
    - There's an option under Preferences->Performance to set the cache for TV.
    - The view info and properties dialog recognizes dvb:// and tv:// and
      display a TV icon for them. 

(2009-06-21)
 * Added the new menu Program under the Browse menu. It allows to change
   the program track for ts files. Known issue: when a program changes, the 
   video and audio track will probably change too but the video and audio menus
   doesn't show that change.
 * The OSD is not shown until 3 seconds after the video started to play. This
   avoid a lot of messages being printed on the OSD at startup.

(2009-06-12)
 * Applied (with a few changes) the patch wheelfunctionpatch4.txt by
   Stivo (helifan at users.sourceforge.net).
   It adds the possibility to change the function of the mouse wheel with
   a mouse click.

(2009-06-02)
 * (Windows) smplayer should recognize now Windows 7, if using Qt 4.5.1 
   (untested).
 * (Windows, portable version) The default screenshot directory is 
   ./screenshots, and the default additional option for mplayer is 
   -nofontconfig. This way it's not necessary to supply a customized 
   smplayer.ini in the portable package.
 * Recognize the multithreaded mplayer build from kovensky (checks for 
   'MPlayer GIT*'). It assumes it's version 1.0rc3.

(2009-05-24)
 * Bugfix: now the color tags from the mplayer output are really removed
   (linux only).

(2009-05-21)
 * Two new options for the command line have been added: -pos and -size. Both 
   options expect two arguments. -pos specifies the coordinates (x, y) where 
   the main window will be displayed, -size specifies the size (width, height).
   If any of the values is invalid, the option will be silently ignored.

(2009-05-18)
 * New option in the subtitle menu: "subtitle visibility". If the option
   is checked (default) subtitles are visible, otherwise the subtitles won't
   appear in the screen. This is a global option.
 * In the subtitle initialization function, try to find the external subtitle
   using its filename, and not assuming that it's always the last one. 
   It should make the -sub command line option to work as expected.

(2009-05-11)
 * Added the Estonian translation, by olav mägi <[email protected]>
 * The option "Audio/video auto synchronization" has been moved from 
   Preferences -> Performance to Preferences -> General -> Audio.
 * Added the new option "A-V sync correction" in Preferences -> General -> 
   Audio (for the mplayer option -mc).

(2009-05-05)
 * New option for smplayer.ini: row_spacing (in the [playlist] section). It
   specifies the spacing between rows in the playlist. If the value is -1
   the row height is not changed.

(2009-05-04)
 * Added an option in Preferences -> Advanced -> Logs to make the mplayer logs
   more verbose (passes -v to mplayer).

(2009-05-01)
 * Applied patch coreavc.patch by Shurygin Egor <[email protected]>
   It adds a checkbox in performance settings to switch coreavc usage.
   When checked passes to mplayer "-vc coreavc," unless vdpau video driver is
   used and any other video codec has been set explicitly.

(2009-04-30)
 * Bugfix: hide the mouse cursor when it's over the black borders.

(2009-04-29)
 * (Windows) New options for smplayer.ini: turn_screensaver_off (false by
   default) and avoid_screensaver (true by default). The option
   disable_screensaver won't be used on windows anymore.
   turn_screensaver_off disables the screensaver from the control panel,
   while avoid_screensaver prevents the screensaver to appear when windows
   requests for it in an event.
 * Added checkboxes in preferences->general->video to allow to configure
   the avoid_screensaver and turn_screensaver_off options.

(2009-04-24)
 * Deleted the option "Change volume just before playing" (Preferences -> 
   General -> Audio). That option had sense when a patch was required for the
   -volume option, but not now.
   Now it will just use -volume if using mplayer >= SVN r27872.
 * Deleted the option "Change volume on every file" (Preferences -> 
   General -> Audio). It did more or less the same now it does the "Global
   volume" option.
 * Deleted the "Default volume" slider in (Preferences -> General -> Audio).
   With time it lost its original meaning. It's still possible to configure 
   the default volume in smplayer.ini.

(2009-04-23)
 * Started to implement the possibility to customize the options for the
   audio/video filters passed to mplayer (in the section [filter_options] 
   in smplayer.ini).
   Currently 3 filters can be customized: noise, volnorm and deblock.
   BTW, the volnorm filter has changed its default value from 2 to 1.

(2009-04-20)
 * (Experimental) Added the new option "Global volume" (Preferences -> General
   -> Audio). If the option is checked, the volume and mute are global
   options. If not checked, the volume and mute options are independent for
   each file.
   Known issues: the default value is 50, it doesn't honor the "default volume"
   setting. On the other hand, the option "change volume before playing" is
   honored even if that option is shown disabled when the "global volume" is
   checked.

(2009-04-18)
 * Added the Vietnamese translation, by Lê Xuân Thảo <[email protected]>.
 * Display the current playback speed in the status bar when it changes.
 * Added support for the mplayer tags DVDNAV_TITLE_IS_MENU and 
   DVDNAV_TITLE_IS_MOVIE added in mplayer svn r29156. 
   It just simply stops sending the set_mouse_pos slave command if not in a 
   dvd menu.

(2009-04-16)
 * (Bugfix) Don't stop the file if already stopped when closing smplayer
   to prevent that the current position would reset to 0.

(2009-04-15)
 * Added two aspect ratios: 3:2 and 14:10.
 * The next_aspect action changes the aspect ratio in the right order.

(2009-04-07)
 * Added an option in preferences to turn on/off the screenshot feature.
   So no need now to clear the screenshot path to disable it.

(2009-04-06)
 * Pass to mplayer "-vc ffh264vdpau,ffmpeg12vdpau,ffwmv3vdpau,ffvc1vdpau," if
   using vdpau as video driver and not other video codec has been set.
   (Untested)

(2009-04-02)
 * Now the mouse cursor is hidden only when playing.

(2009-04-01)
 * (Fix) The preferences dialog sets the default video driver to "direct3d,"
   if using Windows Vista.

(2009-03-26)
 * Added ogv to the list of extensions (for video).

(2009-03-25)
 * (Linux) Using -input nodefault-bindings:conf=/dev/null to disable the 
   mplayer keys if using mplayer >= SVN r29058.

(2009-03-23)
 * (Experimental) Now some of the submenus can be added to the toolbars
   (actions names: speed_menu, videotrack_menu, screen_menu, videosize_menu, 
   panscan_menu, aspect_menu, deinterlace_menu, videofilter_menu, rotate_menu, 
   ontop_menu, audiotrack_menu, audiofilter_menu, audiochannels_menu, 
   stereomode_menu, subtitlestrack_menu, titles_menu, chapters_menu, 
   angles_menu, osd_menu).

(2009-03-22)
 * Added an icon for the next_aspect action. Contributed by TT 
   (http://smplayer.berlios.de/forums/viewtopic.php?id=1104).

(2009-03-20)
 * The subtitle and audio delay actions keep now the file paused. They also
   display the current value in the status bar.

(2009-03-19)
 * Added some icons for: Help -> Tips, Video -> Preview, Video -> Start/stop
   taking screenshots, Subtitles -> Find subtitles on opensubtitles.org and
   updated the Qt logo (taken from the Qt sources).

(2009-03-18)
 * (Videopreview) Ctrl+H toggles displaying the info about the video.
 * Don't use "set_property switch_video" when using the nsv demuxer. It makes
   mplayer stop displaying the video after a few seconds.
 * Added a new option: Video -> Start/stop taking screenshots (of each frame)
   assigned by default to "Shift+D" (the icon for this action: screenshots.png)
   When this option is selected, a screenshot will be taken (and saved in
   png format to the screenshot folder) for each frame. Select the option
   again to stop taking screenshots. 

(2009-03-16)
 * (Windows) Now by default the combos in Preferences -> Drives will show all
   drives, not only CD/DVD devices, as it has been reported that checking
   for those devices can be slow if there are network drives. Now there's
   a button "Scan for CD/DVD devices" to force the detection of CD/DVD devices.

(2009-03-12)
 * Deleted the obsolete translations from smplayer_gl.ts (caused lrelease
   to fail with Qt 4.5.0).

(2009-03-11)
 * Fixed some build problems that could make the installation fail, trying to 
   recompile everything again with qt3 because QMAKE can be undefined during 
   make install.


[b]Version 0.6.7[/b]:

(2009-03-06)
 * The media type icons (type_audio.png, type_dvd.png, type_url.png, 
   type_video.png, type_cdda.png, type_unknown.png and type_vcd.png) which 
   appear in the info window can now be overridden by the icon themes.

(2009-03-05)
 * (Playlist) Try to figure out if a file is local (when the file is added
   to the playlist) not using QFile::exists, as it seems it can be slow
   with remote files. It might fix bug #2586395, although I can't test.

(2009-02-19)
 * Using software volume by default.

(2009-02-17)
 * Using multiple ini files to store the file settings by default now.

(2009-02-15)
 * Added preliminary support for the upcoming mplayer 1.0rc3.

(2009-02-09)
 * (ASS subtitles) The outline and shadow options now accept values with
   decimals.

(2009-02-04)
 * Now the default value for the "correct pts" option is auto.

(2009-01-31)
 * (Videopreview) Added a new option to remember the last folder used for
   saving the preview image. If not checked, it will suggest the same
   folder of the video to save the image.
 * New action toggle_stay_on_top, which toggles between "stay on top always" 
   and "stay on top never". If "stay on top while playing" is enabled, this
   action does nothing.

(2009-01-29)
 * Added two options (in the audio and subtitle menus) to allow the user to 
   enter the audio and subtitle delay (in milliseconds).

(2009-01-28)
 * Added names for the rest of dvdnav actions.
 * The dvdnav_mouse action is assigned to the left mouse button by default.
 * Added all dvdnav actions to the list of actions that can be selected with
   the mouse buttons.

(2009-01-27)
 * Fix: now spaces in arguments for mplayer (in Preferences->Advanced and 
   Options->View info and properties) are respected if they are between
   quotes. Now for instance this will work as expected:
     -heartbeat-cmd "gnome-screensaver-command -p &"
 * Fix: the playlist is not allowed to be docked in fullscreen mode.

(2009-01-26)
 * (Playlist) When a file is added to the playlist, if it was already in
   the list, it's moved to the end of the list.

(2009-01-24)
 * (Videopreview) Add jpg to the "extract frame as" combobox only if the
   jpg format is available for reading.
 * The direct3d video output is now the default for Windows Vista (untested).

(2009-01-18)
 * The dvdnav actions are now only enabled when playing a dvd (using dvdnav).

(2009-01-17)
 * Now the mplayer process is not restarted when loading an external subtitle
   file (using the sub_load slave command), except for idx/sub subtitles. 

(2009-01-15)
 * (Windows) Now the screensaver is allowed to turn on if the file is
    paused or it's an audio file.
 * The "it's a playlist" option in the Open URL dialog is automatically
   checked if the url ends with ".ram", ".asx" or ".m3u" (and unchecked if
   it ends with another extension).

(2009-01-14)
 * New option for the config file: user_forced_ass_style under the 
   [subtitles] section. If the value is not an empty string, it will be
   passed to mplayer for the -ass-force-style option, overriding the string
   generated automatically by smplayer.
 * Added a "Customize" button in the SSA/ASS section in preferences to
   allow the user to customize the SSA/ASS style which will be passed to
   mplayer with the -ass-force-style option.

(2009-01-12)
 * (Fix) When opening an iso file, start to play from the dvd menu instead
   of title 1.
 * Added a new option to select the shadow color for ass subtitles.

(2009-01-11)
 * Now it's possible to play a dvd with menus from command line 
   (smplayer dvdnav://) or by selecting "dvdnav://" from the recents menu.
   It'll even work if the option "Enable DVD menus" is not checked.
 * Now the highlighted option in the DVD menu changes when the mouse is
   moved.

(2009-01-10)
 * Fixed the initialization of the Angles menu when using dvdnav.
 * Added to the Browse menu the options 'DVD menu' and 'DVD previous menu'.

(2009-01-09)
 * Now the length of the title is updated when playing a dvd using dvdnav.

(2009-01-08)
 * (Linux) Added the option "Enable DVD menus" in Preferences->Drives. If 
   this option is checked, when you select "DVD from drive" or "DVD from 
   folder" under the Open menu, the DVD will be played using dvdnav (including 
   menus).
   Note: this is experimental, there are still a lot of things to be fixed.
   Use at own your own risk.

(2009-01-05)
 * Added an option in Preferences->Subtitles to apply the ass style defined by
   the user to ass subtitles (overriding the style defined in the ass file).

(2009-01-04)
 * Now the dvd names follow the same scheme as mplayer: 
   dvd://title/device (where device can also be a folder or iso file).
   Internally it tries to avoid the use of the string "dvd:" so it could
   be easy to add support for dvdnav:

(2008-12-31)
 * Now the correct pts option can have a value of "auto". In this case
   neither -correct-pts nor -nocorrect-pts are passed to mplayer, the demuxer
   will decide. Should fix bug #2479566.
 * The proxy settings have been moved to a config dialog inside the find
   subtitles window.


[b]Version 0.6.6[/b]:

(2008-12-28)
 * (Linux) Now the options in the dvd menus can be selected with the mouse.
   To do so, select "Activate option in DVD menus" for the left mouse button
   in Preferences -> Keyboard and mouse.
 * Implemented a different way to select the initial audio track (or restore
   the old one after a restart). 
 * (Experimental) New code to show/hide the mouse cursor in the video window.

(2008-12-27)
 * (Linux) Added some actions to control the dvdnav buttons.

(2008-12-26)
 * The language filter in the find subtitles dialog is now saved to the ini 
   file.
 * New option for smplayer.ini: include_lang_on_filename (section 
   [findsubtitles]). If set to true (the default) the language code is 
   appended to the subtitle filename (e.g. video.avi => video_es.srt).
   Otherwise the language code is not appended (video.avi => video.srt).

(2008-12-24)
 * Implemented a different way to select the initial subtitle track (or restore
   the old one after a restart). Still needs some testing.

(2008-12-23)
 * Now smplayer tries to update the subtitle tracks if they change during
   playback. This makes subtitles work if using dvdnav, and seems to fix
   a problem when selecting the initial track 
   (see http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2422574&group_id=185512&atid=913573)
   This is the kind of changes that can break something or produce an 
   unexpected behaviour...

(2008-12-20)
 * Applied with a few changes the patch customStyleAction.patch by
   matt <[email protected]>. It adds a few more functions for the widgetactions,
   like to set a custom style.
 * Added a new gui (mpcgui, a media player classic clone) developed by 
   Matthias Petri <[email protected]>

(2008-12-19)
 * Applied (with a few changes) a patch by matt <[email protected]>.
   This patch adds 3 modes for the stay on top option: always, never and 
   while playing.

(2008-12-12)
 * Added a new option Video->Preview. This option creates a preview 
   (thumbnails) of the selected video. There are options to choose the
   number of columns, rows, maximum width of the generated image...
   Finally the preview can be saved (as jpg or png).
   Note: the video preview is not finished yet.

(2008-12-07)
 * (Experimental) Increased the resolution of the seekbar. Previously
   a step of the seekbar (in a 90 minute movie) was equal to 54 seconds.
   Now it's equal to 5.4 seconds. As there's usually an I-frame about 10
   seconds (and mplayer always jumps to an I-frame) I think that's enough.

(2008-12-06)
 * Bug #2399200: the downloaded subtitle filename was wrong if the video 
   filename contained a dot in the name (example: video.hdtv.avi created a 
   video_es.srt file instead of video.hdtv_es.avi). This is now fixed.

(2008-12-03)
 * Now the logs in the mplayer/smplayer log windows update in realtime.
 * The "MPlayer language" tab in the Advanced section in preferences has
   been removed. It's not necessary anymore, although if you've got a 
   mplayer which prints the output texts in a non-english language you'll need
   at least MPlayer SVN r28066.
 * Added two new options: "Auto zoom for 16:9" and "Auto zoom for 2.35:1".
   Those options zoom the image assuming the aspect ratio of the video image
   is the one specified in the option, even if that's not the actual aspect
   ratio. Useful for videos which include black borders (letterbox) in the 
   image, where the normal "Auto zoom" option will fail.

(2008-11-30)
 * New option for smplayer.ini: actions_to_run ([advanced] section).
   Specifies a list of actions (separated by spaces) which will be run every
   time a file is loaded. For instance "actions_to_run=auto_zoom compact true"
   will run the auto_zoom action and set the gui to compact mode. If the
   commandline option -actions is used too, the actions from commandline
   will be added to the end of the list.
   There's a limitation: the actions will be run only when a file is opened 
   and not when the mplayer process is restarted (e.g. you select an option in 
   the menus which requires to restart mplayer, like a video or audio filter).
   Note that allowing to run the actions after a restart of mplayer could
   lead to infinite recursion if any of the actions in the list needs to 
   restart mplayer.
 * Added a field in Preferences->Advanced to enter the list of actions to
   be run every time a file is opened.

(2008-11-27)
 * Added an option in Preferences->General to change the method to store
   the file settings.
 * (Experimental) Added the new option Video->Pan&scan->Auto zoom. It 
   calculates the zoom factor so you can't see any black borders.

(2008-11-26)
 * Implemented a new (and optional) method to save the file settings.
   This method uses an ini file per each played file (instead of using only 
   one big ini file for all of them).

   The files are saved under the subdirectory "file_settings" in the config
   directory (usually $HOME/.config/smplayer/). As filename it uses a hash,
   and it's stored on a subdirectory starting with the first letter of the
   filename. 

   For example:
   $HOME/.config/smplayer/file_settings/d/dd017f9d6706a75f.ini
   $HOME/.config/smplayer/file_settings/9/95e963e59826699d.ini

 * Added a new option for smplayer.ini: file_settings_method.
   This option allows to select the method to be used for the file settings.
   Possible values: normal and hash.

   normal = uses one file (smplayer_files.ini) to store the file settings of
   all played files. This is cleaner as you only have one file for all files'
   settings but it could be slow if there are info for many many files in it.

   hash = uses one ini file per each played file. This could be much faster if 
   you have info for many files, but you'll end up with many ini files and 
   subdirectories.

(2008-11-24)
 * Added a new option in Preferences->Video: add black borders on fullscreen.
   If this option is enabled, black borders will be added to the image in 
   fullscreen mode. This allows subtitles to be displayed on the black borders.

(2008-11-23)
 * Added a history to the open URL dialog. Based on a patch by Francesco 
   Cosoleto.
   Not finished yet. Missing options to clear the history or set the maximum
   number of items.
 * Added a new option for smplayer.ini: urls\max_items (section [history]).
   It specifies the maximum number of items for the open URL history.
   By default, 10. Set it to 0 to disable the history.

(2008-11-20)
 * The "Recents" code has been reorganized. Also the list of recent files
   is now saved in a different place in smplayer.ini, in section [history].

(2008-11-19)
 * When using SSA/ASS, use the same font for OSD. Otherwise the OSD
   might not be visible.

(2008-11-18)
 * Added the possibility to select the type of proxy to be used: Http or
   Socks5. (More info: http://doc.trolltech.com/4.3/qnetworkproxy.html)

(2008-11-17)
 * Added a new option in Preferences->Subtitle: Freetype support. Disabling
   that option could make smplayer work with a mplayer compiled without
   freetype support. But subtitles may not work at all!

(2008-11-16)
 * The mini gui can now also remember the position and size of the window.
 * (Linux) Now all devices which match with dvd*, cdrom*, cdrw*, sr* 
   and cdrecorder* are added to the comboboxes in Preferences->Drives.

(2008-11-15)
 * Added a new action to select the next aspect ratio. Assigned by default to
   key "A". Unfortunately this change breaks compatibility and the aspect
   ratio setting for all your played videos will be lost.
 * Display the text for the statusbar in the OSD if in fullscreen mode (and
   not paused).
 * Added a new option for smplayer.ini: initial_stereo_mode. It sets the
   stereo mode which will be used as default. 
   Possible values: 0 (stereo), 1 (left) and 2 (right).

(2008-11-14)
 * Added the new section Advanced->Proxy in preferences to configure the 
   proxy.

(2008-11-13)
 * Added some options in smplayer.ini (section [proxy]) to configure a proxy 
   for internet connections. Untested.


[b]Version 0.6.5.1[/b]:

(2008-11-12)
 * Don't pass to mplayer the option -no-correct-pts or -nocorrect-pts if
   the mplayer version is still unknown. Prevents mplayer to fail on the first
   run, complaining about an unknown -no-correct-pts if using a recent version 
   of mplayer (r26842 or above).


[b]Version 0.6.5[/b]:

(2008-11-11)
 * (Linux) Now smplayer tries to follow the XDG Base Directory Specification
   (http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html)
   for the config files. So now smplayer will save its config files under
   the directory $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/smplayer or $HOME/.config/smplayer if
   $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not defined.
   If you want to keep your preferences, copy the files in $HOME/.smplayer to
   $HOME/.config/smplayer

(2008-11-07)
 * Added a new option "Floating control" in Preferences->Interface. It allows
   to configure the floating control (width, margin...).

(2008-11-06)
 * (Experimental) Added the possibility to select the adaptor for xv. Requires
   at least MPlayer SVN r26762 (from 2008-05-13).

(2008-11-05)
 * Added support for another patch: 
   http://smplayer.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/smplayer/mplayer-builds/patches/id_exit.diff
   This patch allows the playlist to work properly even if the output messages 
   of mplayer are not in English.
 * New option for smplayer.ini: bypass_window_manager (section 
   [floating_control]). If set to true (the default), the floating control 
   widget will bypass the window manager (seems necessary for some window
   managers). You can try to set it to false if you have problems with the
   floating control.

(2008-11-04)
 * On startup the previous position of the main (default) window is checked
   if it's valid for the current screen. If it's not, then the window is
   moved to 0x0.
 * The same for the playlist (if it's not docked).

(2008-11-01)
 * Cleanup and reorganization of the config path code. 
   The commandline option -ini-path has been removed and replaced with
   -config-path, which specifies the directory where smplayer will store
   its data (not only smplayer.ini).
 * Now to know if a file has no video, instead of looking for the line 
   "Video: no video" (it's not reliable as it's a string that can be translated),
   it will check the video codec, if it's empty, there's no video.

(2008-10-30)
 * The reorganization of the subtitles section in preferences is finished.
 * The mplayer devs have added the -volume option in svn r27872, so now the
   hack to try to detect a patched mplayer have been removed. Now smplayer
   will simply use the -volume option if mplayer is r27872 or newer.

(2008-10-28)
 * The subtitles for srt, sub... formats when using the SSA/ASS library, 
   can now be more customized. It's possible to select the font, size,
   colors, bold, italic, outline, shadow... 
   Not finished yet.

(2008-10-27)
 * Added the new option "Correct pts" in Preferences->Advanced. Disabled by
   default because it causes some problems with mkv files.
 * The dialog to jump to a specified time allows now to enter the seconds
   too.


[b]Version 0.6.4[/b]:

(2008-10-22)
 * (Linux) Now smplayer will pop up a warning if the mplayer version is old.
   This popup will appear only once, although there'll be a reminder in the
   status line.
   A mplayer is considered old if it's older than svn r25158 (that includes
   1.0rc2)

(2008-10-21)
 * Now if the SSA/ASS lib is enabled and a file named styles.ass exists in the 
   smplayer config directory ($HOME/.smplayer/ or the application directory if 
   compiled with PORTABLE_APP) smplayer will load it (mplayer option 
   -ass-styles). In this case the color for subtitles and styles configured
   in Preferences->Subtitles WON'T be used.
   In the future smplayer will create that file automatically and the 
   preferences dialog will allow to configure all (or at least the most 
   important) styles.

(2008-10-20)
 * Bugfix: the show equalizer option didn't work when assigned to any of
   the mouse buttons. (Reason: the action name was changed some time ago
   from "equalizer" to "video_equalizer)
 * Added "Show audio equalizer" to the mouse buttons' combos too.

(2008-10-19)
 * (Experimental) Added the possibility to change the video track.
   Only tested with this sample video: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=3GAGZCTP

(2008-10-16)
 * Moved the comboboxes for the video & audio drivers to the Video and Audio
   tabs.
 * Added a new section in the preferences dialog: Playlist.

(2008-10-15)
 * Added the possibility to add consecutive files (video_01.avi, 
   video_02.avi..) to the playlist. This feature is controlled by the option 
   add_to_playlist_consecutive_files (under the [gui] section).
 * Now the available tracks in DVDs, CDs and VCDs won't be automatically added
   to the playlist if the option gui/auto_add_to_playlist is false. Should fix 
   bug #2049998.

(2008-10-14)
 * Logout is not cancelled by smplayer. Fixes bug #2155555.
 * Now the options in preferences display a tooltip with a help message.
 * Revised and corrected some of the help messages in preferences.
 * Added 1:1 to the aspect ratio menu.

(2008-10-10)
 * Added a work-around for Traditional Chinese. The names of the arrow keys 
   were deleted from the shortcuts if using Qt 4.3.

(2008-10-09)
 * Now the video keeps paused when changing brightness, contrast, hue, 
   saturation and gamma.
 * Now the dialog to find subtitles can also download the subtitles (the
   zip file) and extract the subtitle file. This is exactly how it works:
   when you click on the download button, the zip file is downloaded to a
   temporary file. If the zip file contains only one subtitle, it's extracted, 
   trying to use the same name of the video. So if the video is named movie.avi
   and you downloaded a French subtitle, the subtitle is saved as movie_fr.srt.
   If there are more than one subtitle in the zip file, a dialog will appear 
   so the user can choose the subtitle(s) to extract. In that case, and in 
   order not to make things more complicated, the subtitles are just saved 
   with their original names.

(2008-10-06)
 * (Windows) Added a tool (dxlist) which can list the dsound audio devices
   and the ddraw display devices. Read the README.txt inside the dxlist
   subdirectory for more info and how to compile it.
 * (Windows) Now it's possible to choose the audio device to be used with 
   dsound. It requires dxlist.exe to be installed in the same folder as
   smplayer.exe. This is experimental.

(2008-10-05)
 * Added a new option for smplayer.ini: display_in_compact_mode (under section
   [floating_control]). If true the floating control will appear too in
   compact mode. Note: it may not look very well in this mode...

(2008-10-04)
 * (Linux) Now it's possible to choose the audio device to be used with alsa.
   It requires the application "aplay" to be installed.

(2008-10-03)
 * Added an option in Preferences->General->Video to set the default zoom.

(2008-10-02)
 * Applied (with some changes) the patch to add support for enca, by
   Stanislav Maslovski <[email protected]>.
   This adds a new option in Preferences->Subtitles, which can make mplayer
   to try to autodetect the encoding for subtitles. This requires a mplayer
   compiled with enca support.

(2008-09-29)
 * Now the chapters on DVD should work again.
 * Reorganization in some data structures.
 * Added another experimental new code to resize the main window.

(2008-09-28)
 * Added an (experimental) generic code to manage chapters, instead of two 
   separate codes for mkv and DVDs. Seems to work well with mkv but it's
   still untested on DVDs.

(2008-09-27)
 * Added basic support for the tag ID_CHAPTERS, added in mplayer svn r27667.
   This makes things easier to know the number of chapters in a video.
   Don't know if it could cause a conflict with DVD chapters. Some code
   has still to be revised and modified.
 * Bugfix: if using "directx," the -colorkey option wasn't passed to mplayer
   (thus the video was black). Now this should be fixed.

(2008-09-26)
 * Added support for the new "pausing_keep_force" slave mode command prefix
   (added in mplayer r27665).
   This prefix really keeps the file paused after processing a slave command. 
   So now if you, for example, mute the audio when the video is paused it 
   won't advance one frame after it. It also keeps the video paused when you 
   take a screenshot (although you won't see the confirmation message until 
   playback resumes).
   There's also an option for smplayer.ini, use_pausing_keep_force. You can
   set to false if you find any trouble or prefer the old behaviour.

(2008-09-25)
 * Added the Galician translation, by Miguel Branco <[email protected]>.


[b]Version 0.6.3[/b]:

(2008-09-24)
 * Added a new shortcut set (sda.keys) taken from 
   http://speeddemosarchive.com/forum/index.php/topic,7774.0.html, which you 
   can load in the shortcut editor in preferences.

(2008-09-23)
 * Added two icons for the mirror and flip actions (mirror.png and flip.png)
   taken from the Gimp.
 * Added a new option for smplayer.ini: default_size (section [gui]). It
   specifies the default size of the main window. Previously it was hardcoded
   (580x440).

(2008-09-22)
 * Now the subtitles can be mirrored, flipped or rotated along with the image.
   The way to enable it is not obvious though. You need to enable the option 
   "Include subtitles on screenshots" (Preferences->Subtitles).
 * (Linux) Tries to set "/dev/dvd" and "/dev/cdrom" (if they exist) as default 
   values for the dvd and cdrom devices.

(2008-09-21)
 * Added the new option Video->Mirror image. This option mirrors the image 
   on the Y axis.

(2008-09-20)
 * The comboboxes to select the video and audio driver in Preferences->
   General have changed. Now they are not editable, and only show some
   of the available drivers (png, jpeg... and so on are not shown). There's
   also an "User defined" option. If selected, a line edit will appear where
   the user can type the driver to use (possibly with additional options).
 * The code in preferences.h/preferences.cpp has been reorganized, and 
   now the preferences are saved in several sections in smplayer.ini.
   That means most of your settings will be lost and you'll have to reconfigure
   smplayer again (I even recommend to delete smplayer.ini, otherwise there'll 
   be a mix of the old settings with the new ones).

(2008-09-19)
 * It seems crashes still happen in the code to select subtitle tracks.
   The bug hasn't been located yet (the crash is difficult to reproduce)
   but I have added a new check in a lower level, in the function 
   SubTracks::itemAt(). Now it checks if the requested item is in range. If
   it's not valid it will print a warning and return an empty subtitle.

(2008-09-17)
 * Added an icon for the Play/Pause action. (This breaks all icon themes...)
 * Added a new option for smplayer.ini: gui_minimum_width. The width of the
   main window won't be smaller than the value of that option.
   If gui_minimum_width is set to 0 (the default) then the minimum width 
   will be the size hint of the window.

(2008-09-16)
 * (Windows) Added a new option in Preferences->General that allows the user 
   to select which screen will display the video when using directx as video 
   driver. This option is visible only when directx is selected.
 * (Windows) Added also a submenu Screen under the Video menu for an easier
   selection of the screen.

(2008-09-14)
 * Check in Core::changeSubtitle() that the selected subtitle is in a valid
   range. This should avoid crashes.

(2008-09-13)
 * Added the Kurdish translation, by Si_murg56 <[email protected]>

(2008-09-12)
 * Added a new option in Preferences->General->Video: "Draw video using slices"
   (-slices / -noslices in mplayer). Enabled by default.
 * Bugfix: the items in the combobox for the mouse right click action weren't
   retranslated properly.

(2008-09-09)
 * For some unknown reason sometimes the playlist is not shown. I think this 
   is because it's outside of the screen. Now smplayer checks if the playlist 
   is actually outside of the screen, and in that case it's moved to pos 0x0.

(2008-09-08)
 * Moved the option "Create index if needed" from the section Performance to
   Advanced.
 * Added an icon for the audio equalizer action.

(2008-09-06)
 * Added a new option in Preferences->Performance: Threads for decoding.
   Sets the number of threads to use for decoding (for MPEG-1/2 and H.264 only).
   It could be useful for multicore processors.
 * Bugfix: the volume may be changed on startup even if the option "Change 
   volume on every file" was off. 

(2008-09-04)
 * Don't change the window size if the panel is already the requested size. 
   Seems to fix a problem when using Compiz.

(2008-09-01)
 * The option "Repaint background of the video window" (in Preferences->
   Advanced) is now enabled by default in linux. It seems with newer versions
   of Qt it works well with it. If you have problems with the video window
   going blank, just disable the option.
 * The single instance option is now disabled by default on Windows, as some 
   people reported smplayer didn't start with it.
 * 2nd try to make "gl:yuv=2:force-pbo:ati-hack" the default vo on Windows
   Vista.

(2008-08-28)
 * Set the frame counter to 0 when starting to play a file. Fixes bug
   #2080802.
 * Added in Preferences->Advanced an option to select the preferred network
   connection, IPv4 or IPv6. (IPv4 is the default)

(2008-08-26)
 * Added a new option for smplayer.ini: report_mplayer_crashes. If set to
   false, smplayer won't display the error dialog when mplayer crashes or
   fails to start.

(2008-08-25)
 * Added the Arabic translation, by Muhammad Nour Hajj Omar 
   <[email protected]>
 * Added some options in menu Play->Speed to increase/decrease the
   speed by 1% and 4%.
 * Bugfix: the gamma was not remembered. Fixes bug #2073257.
 * Moved the log's section in Preferences->Advanced to a new tab.

(2008-08-24)
 * Fix: some of the actions passed to -actions may not work as expected
   because they might be executed when the video is not playing yet.
   This should now be fixed, as if a file is passed on command line, the
   actions are not run until the video has started to play. (If there's no
   file on command line the actions are run immediately)

(2008-08-21)
 * Added a new option in Preferences->General->Audio: "Enable the audio
   equalizer". If this option is checked, the mplayer equalizer filter will
   be used and the menu option Audio->Equalizer will be enabled.

(2008-08-20)
 * Moved the eq2 filter before the screenshot filter, otherwise the 
   screenshots are not affected by the settings in the video equalizer.
   Obviously this requires the software equalizer (eq2) to be enabled.
   This should fix bug #2062425.
 * Added a new section in the config file: [floating_control] with 3
   options: animated, width and margin. The options "animated" and "width"
   were previously available as floating_control_animated and 
   floating_control_width in the [default_gui] and [mini_gui] sections.
   The option "margin" is new, and sets the number of pixels that the
   floating control will be away from the border of the screen (by default, 0).

(2008-08-19)
 * Added two new functions for the mouse buttons: increase volume and 
   decrease volume. Closes feature request #2055061.

(2008-08-18)
 * Renamed Video->Aspect ratio->None to Video->Aspect ratio->Disabled and
   Video->Aspect ratio->Autodetect to Video->Aspect ratio->Auto.

(2008-08-17)
 * Added a new (experimental) option: Video->Aspect ratio->None. When this 
   option is selected the video will be stretched to fill all the available 
   space, not keeping the aspect ratio.
   Note: this option does NOT work properly if using x11 as video driver.

(2008-08-16)
 * Added m2ts to the list of extensions for video.


[b]Version 0.6.2[/b]:

(2008-08-13)
 * (Linux) The SSA/ASS library is enabled by default.

(2008-08-12)
 * Added the document Configuring_the_toolbars.txt.
 * Added the new option Tips in the Help menu. It just opens a web browser
   to http://smplayer.wiki.sourceforge.net/Tips.

(2008-08-11)
 * Bugfix: the volume slider appeared in the mini gui even if it had been
   removed from the config file.

(2008-08-09)
 * As it seems many people don't understand (and even send bug reports without
   reading the online help) the new meaning of the font scale options in 
   Preferences->Subtitles, those two options have been hidden. 
   (They can be made visible again changing the value of the new config 
   option show_font_scale_options_in_preferences).

(2008-08-07)
 * Added a time display to the floating control in the minigui.
 * The playlist and the volume slider don't send mouse events to their
   parents. Should fix bugs #1993291 and #2020003.
 * Avoid to resize the main window to the default size (400x300) when 
   playing an audio file.

(2008-08-06)
 * The find subtitles dialog is now a top level window, instead of a dialog.
 * Play the last item in the playlist if the "play previous" button is
   pressed and the current item is the first one. Fixes bug #2040473.
 * Added "play next" and "play previous" to the Play menu.

(2008-08-03)
 * A little reorganization in the General section in preferences and other
   minor changes in other sections.

(2008-07-28)
 * Now the default cache for local files is 2000 KB, and for audio CDs and VCDs 
   is 1000 KB.

(2008-07-26)
 * Added an option in Preferences->Performance to set the cache for VCDs.

(2008-07-25)
 * Added an option in Preferences->Performance to set the cache for
   audio CDs.

(2008-07-22)
 * (Windows) Added to the file associations section the playlist 
   extensions.
 
(2008-07-17)
 * Try to use alsa as default audio driver in linux.

(2008-07-16)
 * Fix: remember the last directory used when adding files to the 
   playlist. Fixes bug #2019139.

(2008-07-13)
 * Another fix for Qt 4.4. Dragging files to the playlist didn't work.
 * Added the Slovenian translation, by Janez Troha <[email protected]>.
 * Fix: mplayer crashed when trying to play audio files if the option to
   run mplayer in its own window was enabled. Now I hope this is fixed.
 
(2008-07-12)
 * Added a new option for command line: -sub. It specifies a subtitle file
   to be loaded for the first video. It requires at least a file to play
   in the command line, otherwise the option will be ignored.
 * Added a new option "Play files from start" in the playlist preferences.
   If enabled (the default) files in the playlist will begin to play from
   the beginning, otherwise they'll play from the position they were last
   time you played them.

(2008-07-09)
 * Now the initialization of the audio track should work ok again, even if
   the option "Fast audio track switching" is set to "No".

(2008-07-08)
 * Added a context menu in the find subtitles dialog, with two options:
   "download" and "copy link to clipboard".

(2008-07-05)
 * Some changes in the single instance options. Now the single instance is
   enabled by default. There's also the possibility to let the application
   to choose automatically the port to be used, which is also the default
   option.

(2008-07-03)
 * Temporary fix for the problem created yesterday: now when a file starts to 
   play, the audio track will be changed using the mplayer slave command even 
   if the option "Fast audio track switching" is set to "No". This makes that 
   the selection of the initial audio track works ok with avi and mkv files 
   for example, but it won't work yet with ogm for instance. 
 * The floating control in the default gui saves/restores its actions to 
   the config file, so now it can be customized by the user.
 * The seeking mini buttons come back. Now by default, the default gui
   will show only two seeking buttons. Keeping them pressed for a moment
   will pop up the rest of the buttons. You may need to delete the 
   [default_gui] section in the config file (or at least the options which
   start with "actions\...") to see them. If you don't like these buttons
   you can delete them from the config file and add the old ones.

(2008-07-02)
 * The SSA/ASS library is NOT enabled by default. It seems there are memory 
   leaks in libass...
 * Fixed a crash which may happen if the option "Fast audio track switching" 
   was set to "No". As a side effect, now if that option is set to "No" the 
   preferred audio language (set in the preferences), won't be selected on
   startup, the file will just start to play with the default audio track.

(2008-07-01)
 * The minimum size of the video window is now 1x1 instead of 0x0. Fixes a
   crash that may happen under certain circumstances.

(2008-06-26)
 * Now everything in the audio equalizer should work. The "apply" button
   restarts the file and passes the equalizer settings using the "equalizer"
   filter in mplayer, so it allows to use the dialog with non-patched mplayer.
   The "set as default values" just saves the current settings in the config
   file and they will be used when playing new files.

(2008-06-25)
 * Added an audio equalizer. Not finished yet!
   In order to work you need to patch mplayer with this patch:
   http://smplayer.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/*checkout*/smplayer/mplayer-builds/patches/patcheq.diff
   Otherwise it won't do anything (lie, if you restart the file the values in
   the equalizer will take effect)
   Missing or not working things: the "set as default values" button doesn't
   work, an "apply" button is missing (this button will set the values 
   restarting mplayer, so it will work with a normal non-patched mplayer).

(2008-06-24)
 * Removed the action dock_playlist. It was causing a lot of troubles, even
   crashes.
 * New option for the config file: hide_video_window_on_audio_files. If
   true (the default) the video window will be hidden when playing audio
   files. Otherwise the video window won't be hidden and it will show the
   smplayer logo instead. 
   It's not recommended to set this option to false in linux.

(2008-06-21)
 * Created a huge list of languages (with the ISO 639-1 codes) and make
   the "find subtitles" dialog to use it.
 * The Qt version is saved along with the toolbars state. This should avoid
   problems when upgrading Qt, as the toolbars info won't be used if the
   Qt version doesn't match.
 * Added new action: dock_playlist.

(2008-06-19)
 * Some fixes in the find subtitles dialog: 
    - the dialog is retranslated
    - the table is sorted (sometimes, still doesn't work well, at least with
      Qt 4.2)
    - it won't download the subtitle info again if the filenane didn't changed
 * The floating control will be hidden if the mouse is not over the widget
   within 5 seconds.

(2008-06-18)
 * The option "Subtitles->Find subtitles on the web" now displays a dialog
   which retrieves the info about the available subtitles from 
   opensubtitles.org. To download a subtitle just double click on it or
   click the "Download" button.
   Known issues: the table is not sorted after adding new data.
   To filter a language you have to type the ISO 639-1 code in the language
   box. So to display only the Spanish subtitles you have to type "es", for
   German "de" and so on. In the future there'll be a combobox to select
   the language.

(2008-06-13)
 * Now the SSA/ASS library is enabled by default.
 * gl:yuv=2:force-pbo:ati-hack will be the default under Windows Vista 
   (untested).

(2008-06-12)
 * Updated the Hungarian translation, by CyberDragon <[email protected]>

(2008-06-11)
 * Now the default value for option change_equalizer_on_startup is true
   (users which run the previous svn revision will have to make the change
   manually) but the brightness, contrast... won't be changed on startup 
   if the value is 0.
 * Also be sure that the equalizer dialog is updated just after a file begins
   to play.
 * Check that the values for brightness, contrast, saturation. hue and gamma
   have actually changed before updating them. 
 * Renamed change_equalizer_on_startup to change_video_equalizer_on_startup.

(2008-06-10)
 * Renamed the config option "dont_use_eq_options" to 
   "change_equalizer_on_startup" and set it to false as default because 
   it seems some people are having problems with high brightness and contrast.

(2008-06-09)
 * Added the opensubtitles patch by Kamil Dziobek <[email protected]> (with
   some modifications). This adds an option in the subtitles menu which 
   allows you to download subtitles for the file you're playing, and another
   one to upload subtitles.

(2008-06-07)
 * Manually removed "<pixmapfunction>qPixmapFromMimeSource</pixmapfunction>"
   from several *.ui files because otherwise the files generated by uic
   would depend on Q3Support.

(2008-06-05)
 * Now if we've got info about the size and aspect ratio (the file has been 
   played before) the main window will be resized before starting to play 
   the file.

(2008-06-04)
 * When entering in fullscreen, the playlist is hidden only if it's in the
   same screen as the main window. (Untested!)

(2008-06-03)
 * Added the possibility to compile smplayer in Windows without the
   file associations code, so it doesn't write anything in the 
   registry (important for a portable app). Just comment the line
   DEFINES += USE_ASSOCIATIONS in smplayer.pro.
 * Another fix for Qt 4.4. The language toolbar wasn't restored
   properly.
 * More work to make smplayer a better portable application (although most of
   the following work on linux, it's intended for windows). If PORTABLE_APP 
   is defined (it can be done with 'qmake DEFINES+=PORTABLE_APP') then:
    - it will use by default the application directory for the ini files
    - it won't try to create the smplayer home directory or the screenshot
      directory ($HOME/.smplayer and $HOME/.smplayer/screenshots)
    - by default the path for the screenshots is empty
    - under windows the associations code won't be compiled, so smplayer won't
      write anything in the windows registry.
   
(2008-06-02)
 * Now the controlbar and floating control in the minigui can be 
   configured too.
 * Some minor (and internal) changes:
    - the playlist doesn't save its size as that is already done by 
      QMainWindow::saveState()
    - sizes and positions are saved to the config file as QSize's and
      QPoint's

(2008-06-01)
 * (Bugfix) The "modify shortcut" dialog was under the other windows if
   the option Video -> Stay on top was enabled.
 * Started to write the code to make the toolbars configurable:
    - the list of actions in a widget can be saved to the config file
    - a widget can be populated with the actions read from the config file 
    - as a test the toolbar1, controlwidget and controlwidget_mini in 
      defaultgui are saved to the config and loaded on startup

(2008-05-30)
 * The maximum port for the single instance is 65535, instead of 99999.
 * Added a new option in guiconfig.h, USE_MINIMUMSIZE. If set to 1
   the main window will not be smaller than the control widget size hint.


[b]Version 0.6.1[/b]:

(2008-05-26)
 * The command line option -mini has been renamed to -minigui (-mini still 
   works)
 * Added a new command line option -defaultgui, which selects the default
   gui.
 * Added an option in Preferences->Interface to select the preferred GUI.
   This option is not applied immediately, you need to close smplayer and
   open it again.
   Note: the command line options -minigui and -defaultgui have preference 
   over this option.

(2008-05-25)
 * Some internal changes: baseguiplus saves some variables to the config
   file so it can exit from compact mode properly even if made between
   different sessions. Also the code to resize the main window when
   entering/exiting compact mode has been moved from defaultgui to
   baseguiplus. BTW, compact mode is broken if the playlist is embedded
   in the main window.
 * Maybe the compact mode with the playlist embedded in the main window 
   is fixed now.

(2008-05-24)
 * Added "gl:yuv=2:force-pbo:ati-hack" to the list of video drivers. This
   seems to be very fast. Requires mplayer svn r26853 (from 2008-05-22).
 * Now the video driver by default on Windows Vista is gl, instead of
   directx. (Untested)

(2008-05-22)
 * Fix: changing the demuxer should not lose the audio or subtitles (but
   the selected tracks after restart may be different).

(2008-05-19)
 * Fix: zoom didn't work well with directx.
 * Added the Catalan translation, by Roger Calvó <[email protected]>.

(2008-05-17)
 * Now the maximum port for the single instance is 99999 instead of 10000.

(2008-05-15)
 * Now the "latest_dir" is updated too when opening a file from command line.
   Also the "latest_dir" now defaults to the home directory instead of the
   smplayer working directory.
 * Now when switching to compact mode, the main window is resized instead of
   leaving black borders where the widgets were placed. This resize will only 
   be done if the autoresize option is set to "whenever it's needed".


[b]Version 0.6.0[/b]:

(2008-05-12)
 * Improved the file smplayer.spec and added the script create_rpm.sh, both
   contributed by iSage.

(2008-05-08)
 * Added m2t to the list of extensions for video.

(2008-05-05)
 * The option Play->Repeat is now always enabled, so it can be activated
   before playing anything.

(2008-05-03)
 * Now, when browsing the recents menu, the statusbar shows the full path of 
   the selected item.

(2008-04-30)
 * Now the video equalizer displays the values of each control.

(2008-04-28)
 * Hopefully fixed the problem of the ghost playlist, visible for a moment
   on startup.
 * Updated the Portuguese (pt_PT) translation, made by Sérgio Marques 
   <[email protected]>
 * (Linux) Added the file smplayer_enqueue.desktop which allows to add 
   the selected files in the file browser to the playlist.

(2008-04-27)
 * Now the time (and volume) sliders should work better.

(2008-04-26)
 * Now the default filter for Open->File is "multimedia", it shows video,
   audio and playlist files.
 * Added an option in the playlist's preferences to save a copy of the
   contents of the playlist to the config file.
 * (Bugfix) Don't allow to enter in compact mode when in fullscreen. 
   Fixes bug #1951297.

(2008-04-25)
 * Added a new widget (a line edit + a button) which allows the user to
   select a file or directory. The preferences dialog now uses this widget.

(2008-04-23)
 * Fix loading idx/sub subtitles. The filename was incorrectly passed to 
   mplayer if it contained several dots. 

(2008-04-22)
 * Now smplayer can detect if mplayer has been patched with the 
   startupvol patch. Autodetection will only succeed if mplayer has been
   patched with this 2nd version of the patch: 
   http://smplayer.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/*checkout*/smplayer/mplayer-builds/patches/startupvol-2.diff
 * Now the option "Change volume just before playing" in 
   Preferences->General->Audio can be set to "Auto".

(2008-04-20)
 * Added a preferences dialog for the playlist.

(2008-04-19)
 * Don't get info about the files added automatically by the GUI to the 
   playlist (usually it's the file to play, so it's a waste of time).
 * Added possibility to add directories recursively to the playlist. Right
   now it's necessary to edit smplayer.ini and set recursive_add_directory to
   true (inside [playlist] section). Soon there'll be an option for this 
   in the GUI.

(2008-04-18)
 * (Windows) Applied a patch by "hackykid" to fix a link error when compiling with
   Visual Studio.
   http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1924296&group_id=185512&atid=913575

(2008-04-17)
 * Updated the Italian and Polish translations.
 * (Bugfix) If the option to start videos in fullscreen is activated, now
   fullscreen mode will be entered only when the video is opened, and not for
   instance when you unpause the video.
 * (Windows) Added the exit fullscreen and close actions to the floating
   control widget, so their key shortcuts can work in the floating control.

(2008-04-16)
 * Now the mouse right button can be configured. By default it will
   show the context menu. The context menu can also be assigned to another
   button (or key).
 * Added the open directory action to the systray menu. Fixes bug #1943895.


[b]Version 0.6.0rc4[/b]:

(2008-04-13)
 * Added the action next_osd to the list of actions available for mouse 
   buttons.

(2008-04-12)
 * Now the possibility to get info (length, name) about the files added to
   the playlist can be disabled. It's not in the preferences dialog as usual
   but in the playlist itself, as an option in the "add" menu.
 * Added the rewind and forward actions to the list of actions available for
   mouse buttons.

(2008-04-11)
 * Added support for the mouse XButton1 and XButton2. This is untested as
   my mouse doesn't have those buttons.

(2008-04-10)
 * Added in Preferences->General->Video an option to select the default
   deinterlacer. It will be used for new videos opened.

(2008-04-07)
 * Now when a file is added to the playlist, it will get some info about it.
   This allows to display the length and name (if available) in the list.
   Very useful for mp3 and similar.

(2008-04-06)
 * If a file with the same name of the file to play but with extension 
   .edl (or .EDL) exists then smplayer will load it automatically (this can
   be disabled by setting use_edl_files in smplayer.ini to false).
   An edl file allows to skip or mute parts of the video.
   Info about edl files: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/edl.html

(2008-04-02)
 * (Bugfix) When using the command line options -send-action or -actions, some
   actions like aspect_4:3 didn't work.

(2008-04-01)
 * Don't check if the items in the recent's menu are local files, as it can
   take a long time if they are not.
 * Compiled with MINI_ARROW_BUTTONS = 0 by default (so reverting changes in
   r1038-r1039).

(2008-03-29)
 * Fix: DVDs started to play at chapter #2 if using mplayer 1.0rc2 or older.
 * Now the default gui will only show two arrow buttons for seeking 
   (rewind 10 secs and forward 10 secs) but if you keep those buttons 
   pressed for a moment a popup menu will show with the rest of the buttons.


[b]Version 0.6.0rc3[/b]:

(2008-03-21)
 * Try to use xv (or directx in windows) if the video driver is not set.
 * Added Play->Jump to, which will show a dialog where you can enter the
   position (time) to jump.

(2008-03-20)
 * Fix: selection of chapters should work again with newer versions of mplayer.
 * Removed the option "Fast seek to chapters in dvds" in 
   Preferences->Performance. Now it will use the fast method if not using
   a cache, and the slow one otherwise (the latter won't even work in newer 
   versions of mplayer, so it's recommended not to use a cache for dvds).
 * Added rm and swf to the list of extensions.

(2008-03-17)
 * Added new menu Video->Rotate, with options to rotate the image.
 * Show the language -if available- along with the name in the audio menu
   (it may work too in the title menu).

(2008-03-14)
 * Now a dialog appears too if mplayer fails to start or crashes.
 * Add the scale filter if using the soft equalizer and gl/gl2, to avoid
   mplayer to complain.
 * The subtitle actions are enabled now if the close caption option is checked.

(2008-03-13)
 * Added a new dialog to report the mplayer errors.

(2008-03-11)
 * Displays a warning dialog if mplayer exits with an exit code 
   different to 0. 

(2008-03-10)
 * (Internal change) Use -monitorpixelaspect instead of -monitoraspect.

(2008-03-08)
 * Use -colorkey for directx only.

(2008-03-06)
 * Added more help for the subtitle, interface and advanced sections in 
   preferences.

(2008-03-05)
 * Ignore action restore/hide if system tray icon is not visible. Fixes
   bug #1908229.
 * Added option in config.h to disable the use of the colorkey.

(2008-03-03)
 * Now the shortcut editor should recognize some of the multimedia keys.
 * (By user request) Added an action to reset the video equalizer.
 * Remove starting and ending whitespaces in mp3 tags. Patch by 
   Tanguy Krotoff <[email protected]>

(2008-03-02)
 * Bugfix: the keys PgDown and PgUp were incorrectly identified as PageDown
   and PageUp by shortcutgetter.

(2008-03-01)
 * Try to keep fullscreen mode if running mplayer in its own window when
   opening a new file.
 * Added flac to the list of audio extensions. Patch by 
   Tanguy Krotoff <[email protected]>
 * Now changing the application stylesheet can be disabled setting
   ALLOW_CHANGE_STYLESHEET to 0 in config.h

(2008-02-29)
 * Added the Macedonian translation by Marko Doda <[email protected]>
 * Added the Basque translation by Piarres Beobide <[email protected]>

(2008-02-26)
 * Add the hue filter if the software equalizer is enabled. This allows to
   change the hue in the video equalizer.
 * Allow the software equalizer to be used with gl/gl2. Note: it won't work
   with gl or gl2 but it will work with gl:yuv=3 and gl2:yuv=3.

(2008-02-25)
 * Bugfix: mark the right current item in the playlist if deleted an item
   above it. Patch by corentin1234.

(2008-02-23)
 * Added two new options in the Subtitles menu: "Enable closed caption" and
   "Forced subtitles only". These two options are global because they are
   intended for DVDs. None of these two options have been tested!

(2008-02-17)
 * On startup smplayer will create a lock file (smplayer_init.lock in the
   config directory) which will be removed once smplayer has been initialized.
   If another instance finds that file it will wait until the file is deleted
   (or 10 seconds have passed). 
   The reason for this is to give the first instance some time to proper 
   initialize in case several instances were launched at the same time (Windows
   does it if you select to "Enqueue in smplayer" multiple files).

(2008-02-16)
 * New experimental code. New class "SMPlayer" which initializes the global
   objects and can parse the arguments. There's also a new main (main2.cpp).
   It's possible this could have broken something!


[b]Version 0.6.0rc2[/b]:

(2008-02-11)
 * Added gl:yuv=3 and gl2:yuv=3 to the list of video drivers.

(2008-02-09)
 * (Windows) Screensaver: set the timeout for lowpower, poweroff and 
   screensaver before playing, and restore on stop.
 
(2008-02-08)
 * (Windows) Bugfix: don't try to convert to 8.3 short names files that
   don't exist.
 
(2008-02-07)
 * The script create_deb should compile and create the package much faster.
 * Bugfix: if the mplayer binary configured in preferences is just "mplayer" 
   and there's a directory or file named mplayer in the smplayer working
   directory, smplayer would try to call that file. Now it won't call it
   if it's a regular file or directory, but WARNING if it's a binary it
   still will call it (this is because it tries to convert the path in an
   absolute path).
 * Some fixes so smplayer can work ok with a relative mplayer path.

(2008-02-06)
 * Now selection of chapters in mkv files should work properly again if
   using mplayer >= r25391.

(2008-02-05)
 * (Windows) Bugfix: the buttons to select the font color in 
   Preferences->Subtitles->SSA/ASS didn't show the color.
 * Removed Yurkovsky Andrey from the list of translators, as requested 
   by himself.

(2008-02-04)
 * The option Play->Repeat should work better now. Also if using mplayer
   >= r23747 toggling the option won't require to restart mplayer (uses
   the loop slave command instead).

(2008-02-03)
 * Try to remember if the window was maximized after exiting from fullscreen.
 * Added workaround for the problem of subtitles which don't disappear when
   using the "Add black borders" filter.


[b]Version 0.6.0rc1[/b]:

(2008-01-30)
 * Added the Korean translation, by Heesu Yoon <[email protected]>

(2008-01-29)
 * If a version is not recognized, assume it's an old version instead of new.
   This way at least the file will play.
 * Now smplayer should recognize the mplayer version from ubuntu packages
   (MPlayer 2:1.0~rc1-0ubuntu13.1 (C) 2000-2006 MPlayer Team).
 * Changed some defaults in preferences: framedrop will be enabled, and
   subtitles on screenshots disabled.

(2008-01-28)
 * Now the user can tell smplayer what version of mplayer is using, with the
   config option mplayer_forced_version. Anyway in the future there'll be
   a dialog to configure this.
 * Renamed mplayer_forced_version to mplayer_user_supplied_version. That
   version will be used only if smplayer can't parse the mplayer version from
   the mplayer output.
 * Now if the mplayer version can't be parsed a dialog will pop up asking the
   user for the mplayer version.

(2008-01-26)
 * Now it's possible to zoom out on the video image.
 * Cosmetic change: now the mouse icon in Preferences->Interface->Seeking
   has the same size as the icons above.
 * Moved to old-txt some outdated txt files.
 * Updated Release_notes.txt, with the changes since version 0.5.62.
 * Now under Windows, the main window will never start hidden even if the 
   system tray icon is shown. This should fix bug #1851817.
   On linux the behavior didn't change, as this is the way other applications
   work.

(2008-01-25)
 * Updated the FAQ.
 * If changing the size of the normal (no -ass) subtitles requires to
   restart mplayer (because using an old version or configured this way)
   the size will increase or decrease in steps of 1, instead of 0.2, to
   make the resize faster.
 * Added an option in Preferences->Subtitles to set the default font scale
   for SSA/ASS subtitles. This has required to redesigned the section.

(2008-01-24)
 * Using now the sub_scale slave command for -ass subtitles. This allows to
   change the font size on runtime. Requires MPlayer r25843.
 * Now the font scale is stored in two independent variables, one if not
   using libass and another if using it. This is because the same value
   produces very different font sizes. A value of 7 can display subtitles
   with a normal size if not using libass, but if libass is enabled the 
   font will be  huge.
   Important: the Scale option in Preferences->Subtitles, which sets the
   initial font scale for new videos, will now be only used if libass is 
   disabled.
   It has been added a similar option for libass, but currently it can only 
   be changed by editing smplayer.ini (initial_sub_scale_ass, default value 1).

(2008-01-22)
 * Now the delay to update the video while dragging the time slider can
   be configured in smplayer.ini, option time_slider_drag_delay. The
   value by default is 100 (milliseconds).
 * The scale field in Preferences->Subtitles now accepts doubles.
   Fixes bug #1876114.

(2008-01-21)
 * Added some new icons to the default theme taken from nuvoX 
   (http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/nuvoX?content=38467)

(2008-01-18)
 * "Help->Command line options" now shows an html text, so it looks better.

(2008-01-17)
 * Added "Help->Command line options", which shows a text with help about
   the available command line options. It displays the same as smplayer -h
   but it will useful for Windows users, as smplayer -h doesn't work for 
   them.

(2008-01-16)
 * Now "Stay on top" is made properly, not cleaning the other flags.
 * The Makefile installs the files in docs/ru
 * Fixed a bug: Help->FAQ displayed the FAQ in the locale language and not
   in the language set in smplayer.
 * Now all the gpl.html in docs/ should be in UTF-8.
 * Converted docs/es/gpl.html and docs/de/gpl.html to UTF-8.
 * Added docs/ru/gpl.html.

(2008-01-15)
 * Now the colorkey is passed properly to mplayer.
 * Added a new option: Options->Visualize motion vectors (-lavdopts vismv=7).

(2008-01-14)
 * Added gl:yuv=3:lscale=1 in the video output combo in preferences.

(2008-01-10)
 * Added an icon in the Instances tab so it doesn't look so empty 
   (instance1.png and instance2.png).
 * Moved the seeking options in the Interface section to another tab.

(2008-01-09)
 * Added the possibility to update the position of video while
   dragging the time slider (instead of updating it only when the
   slider has been released). Currently it's only possible to
   enable this option by changing the option update_while_seeking in
   smplayer.ini. There'll be an option in preferences soon.
 * Added an option in Preferences->Interface to configure that option.

(2008-01-08)
 * Added an icon for Help->FAQ (faq.png).
 * Added an icon for Help->About Qt. The icon has been taken from the Qt
   sources (qmessagebox.cpp). This icon can't be changed by any icon theme
   (I don't think Trolltech would like it).

(2008-01-06)
 * The subtitles size will increase or decrease in steps of 1 instead of
   0.2 if using SSA/ASS lib (it requires restart mplayer, which is slower).

(2008-01-04)
 * Fixed a crash which may happen if trying to select a subtitle but
   the subtitle list was empty.

(2008-01-03)
 * Now the GPL in English is in html too. From now on, all documents
   that smplayer have to load should be in html. This is because the
   debian packager compress all txt files, and so smplayer won't able
   to find them.
 * The file FAQ.txt has been moved to docs/en and converted to html.
 * New option Help->FAQ, which will display the FAQ in your web browser.

(2008-01-02)
 * Added a function to get the path of a translatable document. The 
   translatable documents should be (in the sources) in the docs subdir.
 * Now the GPL file is loaded from that path.
 * Added the Spanish and German translation of the GPL v2.

(2007-12-31)
 * Now the QTextBrowsers really should have the same background color as the
   near widgets.
 * Now the about dialog can show the version number of mplayer.
 * The about dialog displays the GPL in the license tab. Temporary the file
   with the GPL text is embedded in the smplayer executable. In the future it
   will be read from documentation directory.

(2007-12-30)
 * Replaced the QLabels and QTextEdits in the about dialog with QTextBrowsers,
   and changed the background colors.

(2007-12-29)
 * Split the section "Video and audio" in Preferences->General into 2 sections.
 * Added 3 icons in the about dialog (contributors.png, translators.png and 
   license.png), taken from Crystal Clear.
 * (By user request) Added "normal speed" to the list of actions available for
   mouse buttons.

(2007-12-27)
 * Added a new option in Preferences->General->Video and audio: change volume
   just before playing. This should fix the problem of the loud volume on
   startup. It sets the volume using the commandline option -volume, but
   WARNING: mplayer doesn't have such option, you need a patched mplayer!

(2007-12-26)
 * New about dialog, with some tabs.

(2007-12-24)
 * (Windows) Preferences->Drives shows only cdrom devices.

(2007-12-22)
 * (Windows) Now idx/sub subtitles should work also when using short names.
   So I think this stuff is finished.
 * Added the Finnish translation, sent by peeaivo <[email protected]>
 * For the option to skip the loop filter on HD videos: now a video is
   considered HD if its height (not width!) is equal or greater than 
   the value specified in the HD_height option in smplayer.ini (720 by default).
 * Updated the help for the loop filter option in Preferences->Performance.

(2007-12-21)
 * (Windows) Now the short names are used too for subtitle files (except
   idx/sub) and external audio files.
 * Added a manpage for smplayer, created by Matvey Kozhev <[email protected]>
 * (By user request) The skip loop filter in Preferences->Performance has 
   changed. Now it's called "loop filter" and the possible values are:
   "Enabled", "Skip (always)" and "Skip only on HD videos". If the last option
   is selected, the loop filter will be skipped if the codec for the video is
   "ffh264" and the width of the video is 1024 or greater (this value is
   subject to change, possibly in the future it could be configured by the 
   user).
 * Support for colored console output is disabled under Windows. I don't 
   know any build compiled with that option.

(2007-12-20)
 * (Windows) Added a new option for the config file: use_short_pathnames.
   If set to true, smplayer will pass to mplayer the short filename(8+3)
   to mplayer. This allows to play files which contains characters outside 
   the local codepage (mplayer bug). Currently this only works with the file
   to play, not with subtitles filenames or other filenames that smplayer 
   might pass to mplayer.
   To test: I don't know if this would break compatibility with Win98.
 * (Windows) Added an option in Preferences->Advanced to enable easily the
   option mentioned above.
 * Added patch by profoX to add support for the mplayer output when compiled
   with -enable-color-console.
 
(2007-12-18)
 * Moved the letterbox option to the filters submenu and renamed to 
   "Add black borders".
 * Added the new option Video->Filters->Software scaling. Makes mplayer to
   scale the video up to the width of your screen. This is slow, you'll need
   a really fast computer.

(2007-12-17)
 * Updated the Russian translation, and added regular expressions 
   (Advanced->MPlayer language) for Russian, sent by [email protected]
 * Added patch by Florin Braghis <[email protected]> to support Win 98.
   Modified a little bit by me to allow it to compile under linux (for testing).
 * Added a new option: Video->Letterbox. It adds a black border around the
   video, according to the aspect ratio of the monitor.
 * Simplified the aspect ratio menu. The options "4:3 Letterbox", 
   "16:9 Letterbox", "4:3 Panscan", "4:3 to 16:9" have been deleted. The first
   two are not necessary anymore because of the new Video->Letterbox option, 
   and the last two I think they are not necessary because smplayer can 
   simulate pan&scan since some time ago. Anyway they could be added again 
   if someone really needs them.

(2007-12-14)
 * Now smplayer stores the version number of mplayer in the config file and
   can use it to know if that version provides some feature (like the 
   scaletempo filter) before running it. This makes possible to add
   "autodetection" too for options that should be passed on command line.
 * Now the option "High speed playback without altering pitch" (scaletempo) on 
   Preferences->General has 3 possible values: auto, yes and no. Auto 
   (the default) will use the scaletempo filter only if the mplayer you're
   using has that filter. "Yes" or "no" will force to use it or not, no matter
   of the mplayer version number.

(2007-12-13)
 * (Windows) Added patch by Florin Braghis <[email protected]> to improve the 
   file associations code.
   See http://smplayer.sourceforge.net/forums/viewtopic.php?pid=470#p470
 * (By user request) Added the possibility to configure any of the mouse
   buttons to show the equalizer.
 * (Windows) Some clean up in the file associations code. Also made some
   changes to allow to compile in linux (for testing, file associations
   of course won't work, but I can see the dialog, translations and so on).

(2007-12-10)
 * (Internal change) Added mplayerversion.h and mplayerversion.cpp which
   parses the mplayer version from the output of mplayer. Inforeader can also
   get the mplayer version.
 * Now the size of OSD/subtitle text increases/decreases in steps of 0.20.

(2007-12-08)
 * Added a new option for the config file: use_volume_option. If set to 
   true, smplayer will set the initial volume using the command line option
   -volume in mplayer, so that should avoid that the volume is too loud on
   startup. But... mplayer doesn't have a -volume option yet, you have to
   patch it:
   http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-users/2007-December/070500.html

(2007-12-05)
 * (By user request) Added a new option for the config file: 
   auto_add_to_playlist. If true, new opened files are added automatically to
   the playlist (this is the default). Otherwise the playlist won't be 
   modified unless it's strictly necessary (play a dvd, vcd, audiocd, or
   several files are opened at the same time).

(2007-12-04)
 * When a file has stopped, the screensaver won't be allowed to run until
   an additional minute has passed, so it there are more files in the
   playlist they have time to start. A minute should be enough even for
   internet streams.

(2007-11-29)
 * Now the cache setting is independent for each type of media. That means
   that you can disable cache for local files (faster startup) while keeping
   a cache for internet streams.
   The following options for the config file have been added: cache_for_files,
   cache_for_streams, cache_for_dvds, cache_for_audiocds and cache_for_vcds
   (the last two untested).
   The section Performance in the preferences dialog has been changed too,
   adding options for cache for files, cache for streams and cache for dvds.
   Note: it's not recommended to set a cache for DVDs, seeking might not work
   properly.

(2007-11-28)
 * Added a new experimental code to disable the screensaver (and monitor
   turning off) on Windows.
 * Deleted the old (ancient) code for subtitle management.
 
(2007-11-27)
 * If mplayer is compiled with gui support, it seems pause may not work 
   properly. I think this is fixed now, by changing the PAUSE command in
   input.conf. Should fix bug #1839110.
 * Now the option Open->VCD is enabled under Windows.

(2007-11-25)
 * A very important changed has been added in this revision. SMPlayer is
   the first mplayer frontend in the world (I guess) which uses the new 
   slave commands sub_vob, sub_demux and sub_file (added a few hours ago in the
   mplayer svn). These commands, at last, allow to accurately select the 
   subtitle track. Now you can mix without problems subtitles from different 
   sources: embedded subtitles (like in mkv or mp4 or dvds) and external 
   subtitles (srt, sub, idx/sub...), and now subtitle selection in mp4 files
   should work again (fixes bug #1806153).
   This possibility requires mplayer svn r25158 or above.
   The following option for the config file has been added: 
   use_new_sub_commands. The possible values are: 0 (false), 1 (true), 
   -1 (autodetect). The default value is -1. Autodetection will use the new
   commands or the old command according to the mplayer version.

(2007-11-24)
 * Added Polish texts for the comboboxes in Preferences->Advanced->MPlayer
   language, sent by jarek. 

(2007-11-21)
 * Added support for playlists in format pls. Now smplayer can open and
   save pls files (only local files). 
   Not much sure if QSettings produce a file readable by other applications 
   (tested with xmms and it seems it works ok).

(2007-11-20)
 * (Internal change) Added a new list in extensions: multimedia, which
   includes both video and audio extensions.
 * Now "Add directory" in playlist only adds video and audio files (not
   subtitles files, images or any other stuff you may have there).

(2007-11-19)
 * Added patch by redxii, which provide a new icon for file associations
   under Windows.

   
[b]Version 0.5.62[/b]:

(2007-11-16)
 * Added a new option in Preferences->General->Audio that allows to change
   the playback speed without altering the pitch (requires at least 
   MPlayer dev-SVN-r24924).
 * Released version 0.5.62. Why not?

(2007-11-15)
 * Fixed a bug in the new code in defaultgui: if you close the program in
   compact mode, then later when quiting compact mode the toolbars don't 
   appear.
 * (Internal change) Now lists for video, audio, subtitles and playlists
   extensions are defined in extensions.h/extensions.cpp.
 * Added the audio types to the associations section in preferences.

(2007-11-13)
 * Simplified the code of defaultgui, using the actions provided by
   the toolbars instead of creating new ones, and removing some old
   code.

(2007-11-12)
 * (Fix) Now changing the volume when the file is paused really keeps
   pause. This is done by not changing the volume immediately but
   scheduling the volume change just after the file plays again.
 * The position and size calculations of the floating widget is now made
   in the floatingwidget code instead of the gui code.
 * Now the floating control shows with an animation! (It can be disabled in 
   the config file).
 * (By user request) Added a new function for the mouse wheel: change playback
   speed.
 
(2007-11-10)
 * (Experimental) New floating control (it looks like the old one) by using the
   new floatingwidget. This time it has an embedded toolbar, so actions are 
   added to it (can't actions be added directly to widgets?). Previously every 
   button and widget had to be created individually (making connections and 
   so on), duplicating code. Now it's a lot easier.
 * Started to write the "mini gui". This is an optional gui, with very few
   buttons: it doesn't have a toolbar, and the control bar only have a 
   play/pause, stop and mute buttons, and the time slider. It also provides
   a floating control with less buttons.
   To enable it: smplayer -mini
   This gui is in fact intended to be an example on how to create alternative
   gui's for smplayer. 

(2007-11-09)
 * Added options in Preferences->Advanced to save automatically the mplayer
   log every time a new file is played. Intended for external applications.
   Most of the code developed by iSage.

(2007-11-07)
 * More work on the new code for time and volume sliders.

(2007-11-06)
 * (Experimental internal change) Created a wrapper for the time and volume
   slider using QWidgetAction. Until now whenever a time or volume slider were
   needed (there are 3 time sliders and 3 volume sliders) each widget had to
   be created, set its properties, make connections...  individually = a lot 
   of duplicated code. Now only one object has to be created (one for the time
   slider, another one for the volume slider) and then it can be inserted in 
   any widget that accepts QAction's, as many times as necessary. 
   Less code and easier.

(2007-11-05)
 * Removed option H.264->Skip frames, as it affects non H.264 videos too.
   The option in the config file is still available.
 * Added again the "Fast audio track switching" in Preferences->Performance,
   with a combo to select the 3 possible values: Auto, Yes and No.
   There's included help for this option, so I won't explain here.
 * (By user request) Added a new option for the mouse wheel combo in 
   Preferences->Keyboard & mouse: "No function". If selected the mouse
   wheel will do nothing.

(2007-11-03)
 * Adapted the code for patch select_sub_by_source_property2.diff.

(2007-11-02)
 * Added the Greek translation sent by my80s <[email protected]>.

(2007-11-01)
 * Fixed a bug which prevented to select the first (or preferred) subtitle
   when playing a new video.
 * Now mplayerprocess can identify the mplayer version (or svn revision).
 * Added autodetection possibility for changing the font size of subtitles.
   Now the values for the config option "change_sub_scale_requires_restart"
   are different: -1 means autodetect, 0 = false, 1 = true (by default -1).
   Autodetect will check the mplayer version to know if it's recent enough
   to have the slave command "sub_scale". But autodetect can fail with very
   old versions of mplayer (< 1.0rc1).
 * Renamed "change_sub_scale_requires_restart" to 
   "change_sub_scale_should_restart" to force everyone to use the new default
   value.
 * Added autodetection possibility for changing audio track.
 * The config option "audio_change_requires_restart" has been renamed to
   "audio_change_should_restart". It also accepts three values (-1, 0 and 1)
   being -1 autodetection. The default option is -1, which means that 
   the mplayer version will be checked to know if changing audio track 
   needs to restart the mplayer process or not.
 * The option "Fast audio track switching" in Preferences->Advanced has been
   disabled until a new one (a combobox) which supports the 3 values is added.

(2007-10-31)
 * Added code to test the slave command "select_sub" (see 
   http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-dev-eng/2007-October/054651.html)
   The code is disabled by default. To activate it set USE_SELECT_SUB to 1 in
   config.h.

(2007-10-30)
 * Changed the layout of some sections in preferences to make them smaller.

(2007-10-29)
 * (Experimental) Enable or disable some actions according to the current state.
   For example, the audio actions should be disabled if the file has no audio
   track.
 * (Fix) The time slider goes to 0 if the user press stop twice.

(2007-10-26)
 * (Internal change) Renamed font_textscale in preferences to initial_sub_scale.
 * Assigned the new actions to change font size to the keys Shift+R (Size-) and
   Shift+T (Size+).
 * (Experimental) Now it's possible to dock the playlist on the left and right
   sides of the main window.

(2007-10-25)
 * Now the -nostop-xscreensaver option is passed to mplayer if the screensaver
   is not to be disabled.
 * Added two new options for the subtitle menu: Size+ and Size-. They change
   the subtitle size. This also changes the meaning of the Scale setting in
   Preferences->Subtitles, it specifies now the default subtitle size for 
   new videos.
   These new options use the new mplayer slave command sub_scale, so changing
   the size won't require to restart mplayer. Unfortunately this doesn't work
   with the SSA/ASS lib, in this case mplayer will be restarted.
   If you use an old version of mplayer which doesn't have the sub_scale 
   slave command, you need to set to "true" the following option in the 
   config file: change_sub_scale_requires_restart

(2007-10-22)
 * Reorganized the layout of Preferences->Subtitles.
 * Preferences->Keyboard and mouse: the list of available actions for mouse
   buttons has been reduced. Only the most useful for mouse buttons are there.
 * Now the middle click button is also configurable. The default action is
   mute.
 * Now the default icon theme is Nuvola.
 * Added two new options in Preferences->Performance for H.264 videos:
   Skip loop filter (the famous "-lavdopts skiploopfilter=all") and
   Skip frames. 
   This may allow "slow" computers (like mine) to play H.264 HD videos, 
   although these options may produce a high quality loss. I prefer to scale
   down a little bit the image (1024x576 or 768x432).

(2007-10-21)
 * Now the aspect ratio settings should work when using the mplayer own window.
   Note: the option "Autodetect" may not work correctly in this case.

(2007-10-19)
 * Updated the Polish translation.
 * Improved layout of section "Preferred audio & subtitles" in 
   Preferences->General.

(2007-10-18)
 * (Internal change) Don't use the pref object in mplayerwindow.
