  552. - changed the FOURCC code for H.263 to "U263" to be able to see the
  553. +AVI/H.263 file with the UB Video H.263+ decoder. MPlayer works with
  554. this +codec ;) (JuanJo).
  555. - Halfpel motion estimation after MB type selection (JuanJo)
  556. - added pgm and .Y.U.V output format
  557. - suppressed 'img:' protocol. Simply use: /tmp/test%d.[pgm|Y] as input or
  558. output.
  559. - added pgmpipe I/O format (original patch from Martin Aumueller
  560. <lists at reserv.at>, but changed completely since we use a format
  561. instead of a protocol)
  562. version 0.4.2:
  563. - added H.263/MPEG-4/MSMPEG4 decoding support. MPEG-4 decoding support
  564. (for OpenDivX) is almost complete: 8x8 MVs and rounding are
  565. missing. MSMPEG4 support is complete.

  569. - fixed image polyphase bug (the bottom of some images could be
  570. greenish)

  578. of AVI and ASF to DIV3.
  579. - added -me option to set motion estimation method
  580. (default=log). suppressed redundant -hq option.

  584. - improved dct_quantize speed
  585. - factorized some motion estimation code

  590. URL)
  591. - added high quality image resize code with polyphase filter (need
  592. mmx/see optimization). Enable multiple image size support in ffserver.
  593. - added multi live feed support in ffserver
  594. - suppressed master feature from ffserver (it should be done with an
  595. external program which opens the .ffm url and writes it to another
  596. ffserver)
  597. - added preliminary support for video stream parsing (WAV and AVI half
  598. done). Added proper support for audio/video file conversion in
  599. ffmpeg.
  600. - added preliminary support for video file sending from ffserver
