Build (very) late due to my computer borking :(
Rebuilt everything on MSYS. Updated theora to r16629. Built with fribidi.

Short Log:

• libass:
  • Emulate VSFilter’s retarded behavior on opaque box widths.
  • Emulate VSFilter’s shearing behavior.
  • Scale kerning and horizontal letter spacing with ScaleX.
  • Fix glyph overlap blending.
  • Fix crash when rendering empty, illegal drawings.
  • Calculate freetype-italicized glyph width correctly.
  • Revert “Merge glyph and outline bitmap better”. Looked better in some situations, worse in lots of others.
  • VSFilter stupidity compatibility hack: Treat \a8 as \a5.
  • Disable kerning by default and make it configurable.
    • Kerning causes problems with many (broken) fonts. VSFilter doesn’t use kerning so these problems won’t be appearant, while libass used kerning by default.
    • For compatibility reasons, disable kerning by default. In addition, make it configurable through style overrides and the Script Info header.
    • Put “Kerning: yes” into the Script Info header to enable kerning. With MPlayer, using “-ass-force-style Kerning=yes” will always enable kerning. That is equivalent to “ass-force-style=Kerning=yes” in the config file.
  • Render NBSP as a regular space. Fixes fonts that don’t have the “Non-breaking space” glyph.
  • Optimize shadow bitmap creation.
  • Fix alpha calculation in some cases. Fixes rendering on XBMC and MPlayer with -vo direct3d.
• MPlayer:
  • Disable threading on MPEG-2 / MPEG-1 video, breaks interlaced video decoding.
  • Support for TrueHD in Matroska and in transport streams (Blu-Rays)
  • Support for LPCM on Blu-Ray.
  • Fix MPEG-4 ASP, H.264, MPEG-2, AAC, MP2, DTS, AC3 and E-AC3 on transport streams with -demuxer lavf.
  • Fixed incorrect channel ordering for libavcodec audio codecs, namely ffac3, ffdca, ffflac, ffaac and fftruehd.
  • Changed default AC3 decoder from liba52 to ffac3. The only reason the former was used was because ffac3 gave wrong channel order.
  • Use the new metadata API on -demuxer lavf. On MP3 this can decode UTF-16 tags and prints more tags on the output.
  • Changed default MP3 demuxer to libavformat. MPlayer’s default demuxer reports wrong length / bitrate for VBR files and now libavformat is also capable of reporting tags.
  • Support for WMAPro audio.
  • Support for DPX images for input.
  • Support for 48-bit PNG.
  • Support for TwinVQ audio and vqf files.
  • Support for SGI images.
  • Fix demuxing if Wave64 files.
  • Handle demuxers that don’t report position by checking the byte position on the file. The mf:// demuxer now reports position since the fallback is not usable in this case.
  • Added support for 32-bit audio samples.
  • Fixed decoding of some MOV files.
  • Support -1 and -2 values for -aid, -vid and -sid (meaning “auto” and “disabled” respectively). Add a -nosub option that is equivalent to -sid -2.
  • Support for subtitles on audio-only files (for lyrics, etc). They are printed to the console as they come.
  • Support for DEP (Data Execution Prevention) on Windows.
  • Linux stuff you wish was available for windows: vastly improved VDPAU video output, replaced the previously default XV as the default video output (uau repository only).
• MEncoder:
  • Updated x264 encoder to conform with x264 r1260 API.
  • Make sure all delayed frames are written on FLUSH_FRAMES when using x264.
• libswscale:
  • MMX YV12 to BGR32 converter.
  • YUV->YV16 scaler.
• FFmpeg:
  • Updated ASM code shared with x264 and other NASM code to support Win64. Maybe I should try making a 64bit build again…
  • Support for Sony Wave64 files. They’re basically regular Wave files with large file support.
  • Fix a crash on SVQ1.
  • Support for ID3 and APE metadata on Musepack SV7. APE metadata parsing bugfixes.
  • TwinVQ decoder.
  • Fixed decoding of video from MTV files.
  • Support for Blu-ray subtitles, this can’t be used by MPlayer for now, at least.
  • Support for LPCM on Blu-Ray.
  • 5% faster vorbis decoding on Core2 because pengvado got a good roll on GCC’s random code generator.
  • Shut up useless warnings on ffmp3.
  • Several false positive fixes on demuxer probes.
  • Set ID3v1 default genre to unknown instead of Blues.
  • Core Audio Format demuxer.
  • Print a warning if a format has been detected by random guessing (low score).
  • Allow encoding frames taller than 2800 pixels.
  • MD Studio demuxer and Atract1 decoder.
  • Several security-related patches integrated from Chrome.
  • Support the new x264 api.
  • Support UTF-16 in ID3v2 tags by converting them to UTF-8.
  • Export mpv/mp4 major and compatible brands as metadata.
  • TIFF decoding fixes.
  • AAC decoder now supports spec-compliant channel layout configuration.
  • Support writing ID3v2 metadata to mp3 files.
  • Support for contant quantizer encoding with libtheora.
  • Convert an AC-3 error to a warning to allow certain broken files that happen to work when not aborted.
  • Support for uncompressed TARGA images.
  • Support Vorbis channel layout according to the Vorbis I specification.
  • Allow combined TrueHD/AC3 tracks on BDs to be demuxed as two separate streams.
• x264:
  • Several 1-pass and 2-pass VBV fixes. Support for single-frame VBV.
  • Use -mfmpath=sse by default on compilation. Faster floating point calculations in C code.
  • Optimize x264_exp2fix8, 22->13 cycles on Core2.
  • Faster mbtree propagate and less memory usage.
  • Fix bug in b16×16 qpel RD where an incorrect cost was used.
  • Fixed an iron age bug (r369) with intra-analysis on B-frames.
  • Multi-slice encoding support. Slicing support is available through three methods (which can be mixed):
    • --slices: sets a number of slices per frame and ensures rectangular slices (required for Blu-ray). Overridden by either of the following options:
    • --slice-max-mbs: sets a maximum number of macroblocks per slice.
    • --slice-max-size: sets a maximum slice size, in bytes (includes NAL overhead).
  • Implement macroblock re-encoding support to allow highly accurate slice size limitation.
  • Faster me=tesa.
  • Threaded lookahead, reducing the amount that lookahead bottlenecks encoding specially with lookahead intensive settings. Can be tuned with --sync-lookahead, default being threads+bframes. This buffer is unrelated to --rc-lookahead.
  • Fix RD early skip, small quality improvement and speedup.
  • x264’s VBV now works on a NAL level, taking into acount escape codes.
  • Reorder reference frames optimally on second pass. Needs both passes to have the same ref count value.
  • SSE4 version of 4×4 IDCT, 27->24 clocks on Nehalem. Just so Holger gets to use movsd.
  • Fix bug where x264 generated bitstreasm with insane SAR values.
  • Avoid scenecuts on flashes and similar situations. Works on 1-frame flashes with b-adapt 1, bframe-count length flashes with b-adapt 2. Flashes are defined as any scene which lasts a very short period of time before returning to a previous scene, such as one caused by a camera flash.
  • Fix a very rare overflow that triggered an assert failure; bug was as old as b-adapt.
