====== History/Changelog ======

The full changelog can always be found at http://p.outlyer.net/vcs/files/CHANGELOG. See also [[vcs:roadmap]] and [[vcs:timeline]].

This is a selection, where minor or internal changes are usually omitted.

  * **1.0.100a** (Published April 10th 2009) (1.1.0 "RC2")
    * Preliminary support for OSes other than Linux (specially FreeBSD, on which it can be considered beta). So far output is less clean on those systems.
    * BUGFIX: Don't fail if ''tput'' fails to set console colour
    * BUGFIX: Check for requirements early, shouldn't die silently

  * **1.0.99** (Published March 11th 2009) (1.1.0 "RC1")
    * Experimental support for DVDs (''[[vcs:cli_options#dvd|-V]]'')
    * Added JPEG 2000 output format (''[[vcs:cli_options#jpeg2000|-j2]]'')
    * Polaroid mode renamed to photos mode, and introduction of new polaroid and polaroidframe modes
    * Slight adjustments in the timestamp size based on capture size.
    * Better detection of video frame rate (no more 1.000 fps, in theory) and audio channels number by using ffmpeg.
    * Bugfix: Fixed overlap mode putting all images on the same location (only with newer versions of ImageMagick?)

  * **1.0.12** (Published April 16th 2008)
    * Corrected 0ms timestamps (seconds were being used as ms too)
    * Re-added the (disabled for long) black border after highlights
    * Added a minimun length to use the end offset
    * Bugfix: Fixed the regression on highlights from the last version (extra padding was being added my IM automatically)
    * Bugfix: Fixed parsing of manual timestamps including milliseconds (when seconds didn't include the s character they were accidentally multiplied by 10!)

  * **1.0.11** (Published April 8th 2008)
    * Don't print ms when using mplayer
    * Better alignment in extended mode
    * Bugfix: (brown bag bug) Corrected typo in variable name that made vcs fail when setting the default timecode derivation to number of captures instead of interval
    * Some support for older versions of bash
    * Added FOURCC for VC-1

  * **1.0.10** (Published November 8th 2007)
    * Allow disabling shadows (''[[vcs:cli_options#disable|-ds]]'' or ''[[vcs:cli_options#disable|--disable shadows]]'').
    * Allow disabling timestamps (''[[vcs:cli_options#disable|-dt]]'' or ''[[vcs:cli_options#disable|--disable timestamps]]'').
    * Added HD resolution to aspect ratio guessing (''[[vcs:cli_options#autoaspect|-A]]'' or ''[[vcs:cli_options#autoaspect|--autoaspect]]'').
    * Bugfix: Fixed aspect ratio guessing for known widths paired with unknown heights.

  * **1.0.9a** (Published June 10th 2007) //Bugfix release//
    * Bugfix: Fixed regression introduced in 1.0.8a which broke extended mode (Thanks to //Aleksandar Urošević//).
    * Bugfix: Was using the incorrect number of extended mode columns.

  * **1.0.8a** (Published June 2nd 2007) //Bugfix release//
    * Bugfix: ''[[vcs:cli_options#columns|-c]]'' was ignored when using the interval mode (''[[vcs:cli_options#interval|-i]]'' and default behaviour) (Thanks to //Homer S//).
    * Bugfix: Right side of heading wasn't using the user's font colour (Thanks to //Dougn Redhammer//).

  * **1.0.7a** (Published May 12th 2007)
    * Print the title before the highlights.
    * Feature: End offset: Now a number of seconds (defaults to 60) from the end is ignored by default. This gives a better result with full feature films but might be an annoyance with music videos and such. Change the default with ''[[vcs:cli_options#end_offset|-E]]'' / ''[[vcs:cli_options#end_offset|--end_offset]]'' or disable it with ''[[vcs:cli_options#end_offset|-E0]]''. The default can be overridden with ''DEFAULT_END_OFFSET''. Can be disabled by adding ''DEFAULT_END_OFFSET=0'' to [[vcs:conf_files|configuration files]].
    * Decimal point precision for seeking and timecodes
      * Accept decimal point timecodes (e.g. 20s.23)
    * Workaround for the problem with ffmpeg's arguments order (some files fail depending on the order of arguments) (''[[vcs:cli_options#wo|-Wo]]'' changes the order to try to avoid the problem).
    * Experimental support for non-latin alphabets in filename (''[[vcs:cli_options#mincho|-Ik]]'' / ''[[vcs:cli_options#mincho|--mincho]]'').
       * Added overrides for the filename font (''font_filename'') and for the default Minchō font (''FONT_MINCHO'').
    * Funky modes ( ''[[vcs:cli_options#funky|-kp]]'' / ''[[vcs:cli_options#funky|--funky polaroid]]'', ''[[vcs:cli_options#funky|-kr]]'' / ''[[vcs:cli_options#funky|--funky rotate]]'', ''[[vcs:cli_options#funky|-ko]]'' / ''[[vcs:cli_options#funky|--funky overlap]]'', ''[[vcs:cli_options#funky|-kf]]'' / ''[[vcs:cli_options#funky|--funky photoframe]]'', ''[[vcs:cli_options#funky|-ki]]'' / ''[[vcs:cli_options#funky|--funky film]]'', ''[[vcs:cli_options#funky|-kx]]'' / ''[[vcs:cli_options#funky|--funky random]]'')
    * Replaced hard by soft shadows
    * Added codec ids for On2's codecs (VP3 to VP6), TSCC (Camtasia), Theora and added (unused?) extra Indeo codec ids
    * Allow changing the contact sheet background (override bg_contact)
    * tput (for coloured console text) is now an optional requirement.
    * Use /dev/shm for temporal output if possible.
    * Allow redirecting the output of ffmpeg/mplayer for debugging purposes (overrides stdout and stderr).
    * Bugfix / Feature: Correctly round the number of extended captures to be a multiple of the number of colu,mns.
    * Bugfix: Fixed safe renaming, failed with filenames with leading dashes and assument current directory output.
    * Bugfix: Added forgotten options to the help: ''[[vcs:cli_options#columns|-c]]'' / ''[[vcs:cli_options#columns|--columns]]'' ''[[vcs:cli_options#override|-O]]'' / ''[[vcs:cli_options#override|--override]]''
    * Bugfix: Made font size of the title and timestamps independent, added overrides ''font_title'', ''pts_title'', ''fg_title'' and ''bg_title''.
    * Bugfix: Corrected parsing of intervals (test for illegal characters was incorrect)
    * Bugfix: Print coloured console text to the correct channel
    * Internal: Made the FOURCCs detection case sensitive
    * And many internal changes, the decimal point precision and the funky modes required a lot of changes (rewrites, renamings and code split in smaller units)

  * **1.0.6b** (Published Apr 21st 2007) //Bugfix release//
    * Bugfix: Use ''mktemp'' instead of ''tempfile'' (Thanks to //o kapi//) (Note previous versions probably failed on non-debian derived systems).

  * **1.0.5b** (Published Apr 20th 2007)
    * Feature: Extended mode (''[[vcs:cli_options#extended|-e]]'').
    * Feature: Highligh mode (''[[vcs:cli_options#highlights|-l]]'').
    * Feature: Basic auto aspect ratio guess (''[[vcs:cli_options#autoaspect|-A]]'').
    * Feature: Command-line overrides (''[[vcs:cli_options#override|-O]]'').
    * Allow using real user name instead of user id (''[[vcs:cli_options#fullname|-U]]'').
    * Colourful feedback on the console if possible.
    * Added a bunch of codec ids
    * And of course some fixes :)

  * **1.0.4b** (Published Apr 17th 2007)
    * Feature: Aspect ratio support (with ''[[vcs:cli_options#aspect|-a]]''). Note it breaks the usage of ''[[vcs:cli_options#shoehorn|--shoehorn]]'' to resize the video, which is totally intended anyway.
    * Bugfix: Put temp files in temporary locations. Should help with some filesystems. Thanks to //Alon Levy// for the bugreport.
    * Refinement: Suport for per-dir and system-wide configuration files. All of them are loaded if they exist, in order (system-wide, user local, current dir), each one overrides the previous if necessary.
    * Bugfix: Apparently the number of vidcaps output is finally correct.

  * **1.0.3b** (Published Apr 14th 2007)
    * Brown bag bugfix: Don't print the full path in the heading.

  * **1.0.2b** (Published Apr 14th 2007)
    * Gone beta: Multiple code cleanups.
    * Bugfix: Fixed program signature (broken in previous update).
    * Applied license.

  * **1.0.1a** (Published Apr 13th 2007)
    * Refinement: Allow more readable timestamps. Some examples with equivalent forms:\\ Refer to 1:30:15 as: 1h30m15s = 1h30m15 = 5415s = 5415 \\  Refer to 1:03:00 as: 1h03m = 1h3m = 1h180s = 63m = 3780
    * Feature: Manual mode (''[[vcs:cli_options#manual|-m]]''). Output only the captures set by the user with ''[[vcs:cli_options#stamp|-S]]''.
    * Feature: Allow [[vcs:conf_files|per-user config]], which allows e.g. setting a different username that the default or changing the colours. See the script source for a list of allowed variables. Example ~/.vcs.conf: <code>      # vcs configuration
      user=outlyer		# Sign as outlyer
      # Change the signature from "Preview by outlyer" to "A rip by outlyer"
      user_signature="A rip by"
      bg_heading=slategray	# Use slategray headings (same as default footer)
      pts_heading=12		# Smaller font for heading</code> Note this example is updated to the changes in the last version.

  * **1.0a** (Published Apr 10th 2007)
    * Feature: Allow setting the output height of the individual vidcaps (''[[vcs:cli_options#height|-H]]''), the width is auto calculated from it.
    * Bugfix: If there'll be just one vidcap take it from the middle and not the end of the video.
    * Feature: Allow manually setting the number of columns (''[[vcs:cli_options#columns|-c]]'')
    * Added codec ids of WMV v8 and WMA v2
