Vorbis,

* Ogg Demux filter has been changed from a source + parser filter to just

DirectShow's "File Source (Async.)" filter which can handle files bigger than
2GB, or "File Source (URL)" which
gives better networking support (proxy, ipv6, etc.)
* HTML5 <video> plug-in has received a couple of improvements:
- URI support given by uriparser library
- VMR9 support (instead of VMR7), this requires DirectX9

component is not enabled by default in the
installer and it is only a technical preview - only basic playback
(play/pause by left click button), no seeking, no
controls and no HTML5 <video> interfaces support.
To use it this functionality in Internet Explorer simply add
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml/video" to the
<video> tag.
* Added 7.1 channels support for FLAC and support for files bigger than
2GBytes.

Version 0.73.1936 - 21/10/2006

This version mainly exposes encoding options for all the codecs as COM interfaces,
and as property pages
(viewable in graphedit). Still needs more testing and error checking. Fixed a bug
with flac that caused silence
when a track automatically repeated. The aspect ratio handling in theora is now
correct, the channel order in
vorbis is now correct. And now explorer has the "Add to WMP playlist" option,
which other media files have in
their right-click menu.

graphedit
* Improved OGM decoding
* Improved subtitle support
* Vorbis channel order fixed
* 24/32 bit >2 channel decode support improved for vorbis and flac

* Correct handling of aspect ratio in theora

Version 0.72.1838 - 17/9/2006

Major changes in this version include, updating all the code to Visual Studio 2005.
There is now a "working"
port for Windows Mobile 5.0 as at this revision, this is not yet released. Many
minor bugixes and compatability
fixes, dependancy updates, speed increases, unicode support, improved installer.
Some major work was done to
maintain Windows 9X/ME support while properly supporting unicode. If you use or
have an interest in the
maintaining of support for these obsolete operating systems, please let me know
whether they are working
for you.

* Fixed bug that would refuse to play extremely small files

* Added YUY2 output support to better support old graphics hardware

* Updated project to VS 2005

chars
* Custom unicode emulating(unicows) CRT's to maintain Windows 9X support
* Compatablity fixes for Media Portal and Media Player Classic
* Installer detects and offers to remove previous versions
* Installer offers to optionally associate WMP to .ogg
* MMX optimisations for libtheora ported to MASM, encoding ~25-30% faster
* Xiph fish icon in explorer
* Code ported to Windows Mobile 5.0 (currently unreleased build)
* Switch to integer decoding version of speex

Version 0.71.0946 - 24/02/2006

More bugfixes, particularly to theora. See 0.70 release for more details about
recent changes. Docs and source
package will be updated on the weekend, there's no major changes there from 0.70.
This version is fairly stable
now it seems.

* Fixed the theora seeking bug, should accurately seek to any frame without
artefacts.
* Fixed bug not handling WMP doing hardware video acceleration, caused crash on
some files (Thanks slashdot!)
* Fixed handling of missing 3xx http response codes
* Fixed bug where player would crash if you dragged it from one monitor to
another while playing
* Fixed COM reference double-release bug
* Fixed race condition which could crash or hang sometimes after a seek.

Version (0.70.0827) - 16/02/2006

Wow... has it been a whole year :) Yes, this project is still alive! There's a fair
bit of new code, so if you have problems
you might want to try the history page and get version 0.69. One notable thing that
this new version does not do correctly,
is it no longer handles chained icecast streams, but it handles streaming static
files on a server much better. The previous
solution for icecast was a real hack which is no longer possible, it will be fixed
properly fairly soon.

I'm releasing now, because otherwise you'll be waiting forever! Releases should be
coming much more frequently hopefully.
As always, email me your bugs and feature requests. The unicode filenames will be
fixed as soon as I can, sorry, I keep putting
that one off.

* Theora can seek without artefacts to any frame, even non-keyframes.(95% of

the time, there's still a slight bug)
* All seeking in all codecs is accurate to within a single audio sample (ie.
sub-second)
* Complete rewrite of demux, it's much easier for me to continue now.
* OGM support is improved a bit, still not great. It does not associate with
the .ogm extension to avoid messing with other
solutions for .ogm you might have. But renaming the .ogm file to .ogg it
will attempt to play it.
* Improved handling of static files on servers (still not seeking over http)
* Be aware that it builds a seektable for all on-disk files. For really large
files (>250MB) it may take a little while
for the file to load.
* Updated most libraries, vorbis is still at 1.1.1, speex still 1.1.10. Another
release soonish may rectify this.
I just want to release what I've got now, or it will keep being put off.

Version (0.69.8924) - 15/02/2005

Lots of bufixes, especially memory leaks and memory management. Along with a new
installer based on NSIS, which
is just click-and-run.

* More intelligent buffer sizing, reduces memory footprint about 5-10 fold
* Much more documentation
* Vorbis encoder has programmatic interface for setting quality
* Annodex Muxing support
* Programmitic interface for encoding progress
* Can seek in WMP6.4
* Several other tools (not included in this binary) for server side seeking,
and .NET media players added to SDK

Version 0.68.8333 - 06/12/2004

* Fixed playback from windows network drives.

* Fixed bug where audio would stop if you seek really close to the end.
* Seeking performance back to almost instant.
