Description David Cottle 2010-07-01 01:11:01 CEST
Version 1.1.0 is released major update please build

What's new?
Ready for HD

    * GPU decoding on Windows Vista and 7, using DxVA2 for H.264, VC-1 and MPEG-2
    * GPU decoding on GNU/Linux, using VAAPI for H.264, VC-1 and MPEG-2
    * DSP decoding using OpenMax IL, for compatible embedded devices
    * Improved support for MKV HD, including seeking fixes, and 7.1 channels codecs
    * Support for new codecs, like Blu-Ray subtitles, MPEG-4 lossless and VP8

NB: so far, on Windows for GPU decoding, VideoLAN is recommending nVidia® GPU, until ATI® drivers are working with VLC architecture, and until the VLC developers get access to some Intel® hardware supporting GPU decoding.

Extensions
New add-ons and script framework so one can personalize its vlc.

    * Written in lua
    * 2 main types of scripts:
          o content add-ons, integrated in the playlist
          o functionnalities extensions, like metadata searching on the web, or subtitles look-ups
    * Very Simple

Web improvements

    * Support for WebM decoding and encoding
    * Improved web plugins
    * Better streaming capabilities

Better Audio experience

    * Integrated playlist in the Qt4 interface
    * Multiple views (like album art) in the playlist in the Qt4 interface
    * Support for AMR-NB, Mpeg-4 ALS, Vorbis 6.1/7.1, FLAC 6.1/7.1 and WMAS
    * CDDB and CD-Text works now on the Windows port when listening to CD-Audio
    * Support for DVD-Audio files (.aob)
    * Improved meta-data and album-art support

Faster, Lighter

    * Faster decoding, with up to 40% speed-ups, in HD resolutions
    * First part of the Video Output core rewrite
    * Removal or rewrite of dozens of modules, code simplification and tens of thousands of lines of code removed
    * Some functionalities that are less used are now moved to extensions
    * More assembly optimizatinons, especially SSSE3/SSE4 and ARM Neon
    * Fewer threads used

Better for developers

    * Simplified and improved libVLC, removal of exceptions for better C integration
    * New phonon-backend for Qt applications, on all platforms
    * New C++ bindings
    *

Fixed in rawhide,
despite libva isn't in Fedora nor RPMFusion so  that's pointless to have half feature vlc, If you want it, get it from my personal repository until libva is in official repository:

can you please update VLC in your personal repository to the latest version? (1.1.1) 
Comment 5 David Cottle 2010-07-27 00:49:26 CEST
Any news of this ever going to the release channels, or will distribution never see a 1.1x build?

Updated this bug to current release (1.1.1)
Comment 6 Nicolas Chauvet 2010-07-28 16:52:39 CEST
1.1.2 is scheduled for tonight.
Comment 7 Nicolas Chauvet 2010-07-28 17:59:25 CEST

Comment 9 David Cottle 2010-08-06 06:48:34 CEST
Any news on any updates?  I have not seen builds past 1.0.0 even in rawhide :(

Changed to Version 1.1.2 is released major update please build
Comment 10 Nicolas Chauvet 2010-08-06 11:11:36 CEST
rawhide is failing for a reason that I cannot verify.
If you want to help, please have a look why it is failing to have the correct CFLAGS for gdk-pixbuf/gdk-pixbuf.h
(notify.c:37:35: fatal error: gdk-pixbuf/gdk-pixbuf.h: No such file or directory )
in
http://buildsys.rpmfusion.org/logs/fedora-development-rpmfusion_free/7732-vlc-1.1.2-1.fc14/x86_64/build.log

It was updated to 1.1.2 yesterday for F-13. it will be in rpmfusion-free-updates-testing until the whole vaapi stack is QA. (vdpau-video is still missing)
Comment 11 Nicolas Chauvet 2010-08-10 10:50:06 CEST
Please try vlc 1.1.2 with 
yum update vlc\* --enablerepo=rpmfusion-free-updates-testing
