The XML documentation was badly outdated, with various obsolete,
useless and and sometimes actively harmful advice. Delete a lot of the
obsolete stuff, without spending much effort to replace it for now.
In the FAQ section I removed some questions completely; in other cases
I only removed the answer if I thought the entry might be worth
keeping but the answer would need to be updated.
About the only useful part of the BUGS section on the manpage was a
link to mplayerhq.hu, and that doesn't really apply any more (includes
references to Subversion etc). Remove that section and update/remove
some outdated info.
There were multiple files specific to Zoran support, and they also
depended on internal FFmpeg headers (so it would probably have been
hard to get them to compile now even if you tried). It's obsolete now,
so just drop the whole mess.
dxr2 support had been broken quite a while and nobody noticed. There
were finally commits to fix it in the svn repo, but rather than apply
those I'll just drop dxr2 support.
By now VIDIX is too obscure to justify the amount of code and
complexity it requires in the sources. Although there is no pressing
need to drop it just now from a code point of view, I'll rather remove
it before release than release with VIDIX support and then drop it
later.
Some of the manpage mentions of VIDIX were in "this option supported
for these VOs" lists that looked outdated and failed to mention vdpau
for example. Replace such incorrect lists with a generic "not
supported for all VOs" mention.
Add some notes about BE/LE colorspaces and fix a small typo.

Remove AAC/FAAD2 installation instructions.
There is nothing special about building and installing FAAD2, so there is
no longer a need to keep maintaining instructions for it.

There are still some problems with -ass. For example some other
subtitle options won't work the same way or at all with it enabled,
and inserting the video filter for VOs that lack native rendering
support won't work with different colorspaces. However I think that
the benefit from styling support outweights those disadvantages, and
also that the "discoverability" of features is better this way; it
will be easier for people who encounter problems to find -noass than
for people who see no styling to find out that they could add it with
-ass.
Enable -ass by default. Also fix other outdated information in the
manpage entries for -ass and -fontconfig.
This really should have been added to the manpage at the start of the
previous decade. There's still bad advice about -playlist in the XML
docs, but I'll remove that later when purging more obsolete/wrong
stuff from there.
Allow negative values of the "deint" parameter and make them select
the same deinterlacing mode as the corresponding positive value, but
without enabling deinterlace on startup. This is useful for
configuration files. Also tweak the overall manpage description of
vo_vdpau a bit to make it sound less as if the VO would be for
hardware acceleration only.

Add support for seeking to an arbitrary non-keyframe position by
decoding video starting from the previous keyframe. Whether to use
this functionality when seeking is controlled by the new option
-hr-seek and a new third argument to the "seek" command. The default
is to use it for absolute seeks (like chapter seeks) but not for
relative ones. Because there's currently no support for cutting
encoded audio some desync is expected if encoded audio passthrough is
used. Currently precise seeks always go to the first frame with
timestamp equal to or greater than the target position; there's no
support for "matching or earlier" backwards seeks at frame level.
Make "-lavdopts threads=0" mean an autodetected number of threads, and
make that the default value of the option. Also increase the upper
limit of the option from 8 to 16. Add new file osdep/numcores.c which
tries to determine the number of cores available on the machine.
numcores.c is based (heavily modified) on public domain numcpus.c by
Philip Willoughby <pgw99@doc.ic.ac.uk>, downloaded from
http://csgsoft.doc.ic.ac.uk/numcpus/
Add mp_property_generic_option(), a property function that can be used
for generic option-based properties that do not require any action
beyond manipulating the value of the option variable. Currently it
directly implements GET and SET, plus STEP_UP for "choice" options
only. Use it to add a property for -pts-association-mode (not
particularly useful in normal use, but serves as a test).
Add a "choice" option type. Options of this type take a string as
input and set an int option variable to the value corresponding to the
string. The string->int mapping is option-specific and is given in the
option definition. Strings not found in the mapping are rejected as
invalid option values.
Change the option -pts-association-mode to use this new option type
and accept values "auto, decoder, sort" instead of "0, 1, 2". The
change in accepted values shouldn't cause problems as this option is
not appropriate to use in normal user config files.
-novideo is the right way to disable video, and should also work in
more cases now that lavf is used as the default demuxer for more formats
(like AVI; internal AVI demuxer fails with -novideo).
Also change the man page description of -novideo a bit to make it
sound less negative about the chances of the option working.
Some Matroska files have inaccurate ordered chapter endpoints, and so
parts where one chapter should end and the next begin at the same
timestamp were not merged. This resulted in an unnecessary seek over a
minimal distance. Add a heuristic to merge parts with a minimal gap or
overlap between them.
Based on patch by Hector Martin <hector@marcansoft.com>.
Add code to enforce matching pts with video when (re)starting the
audio stream, by either cutting away the first samples or inserting
silence at the beginning. New option -noinitial-audio-sync can be used
to disable this and return to old behavior.
If the option is enabled and all audio has been buffered to the AO,
then the player will move to the next file without waiting for the
buffered audio to drain, while leaving the AO initialized. If the
playback of the next file starts quickly enough (before the AO buffer
empties) then it should continue writing audio to the same AO with no
gap in between.
Further review very welcome, but it is time (and good enough) to add this.

If a specified key is pressed during playback, the current stream is
captured to a file, similar to what -dumpstream achieves.

Taken from the following svn commits, but with several fixes and

key binding is 'C', not 'c'):

Require DirectFB version 0.9.15 instead of 0.9.13.
This simplifies the build system at the cost of requiring a library
version that was released at the end rather than the middle of 2002.
