XAnim 2.70.6.3 is now released. DESCRIPTION XAnim is a program that can display many different anim/video/audio formats on systems running X11(unix/vms/etc). ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.70.6.3 (02Aug96) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- + AVI: fixed bug with RGB depth 24 on depth 16 Displays. + IMA4: fixed bug that caused audio noise with quicktimes that used the stereo IMA4 audio codec. + MISC: Fixed colormap problem with -Cn and audio only files. + JPG: JPEG 111111 fixed color bug with dither/+Cn option. + MISC: cleaned up type casting for functions that return ptrs to void *functions. Anyone know how to cast a function to return a pointer to an int function? I should add, compilers should be able to parse it. :^) + QT: There's a new variation to the quicktime file format where the headers are stored up front(allows streaming of quicktime animations). Previous xanim revs had trouble reading this. + AUDIO: Roland sent in modifications to the NetBSD audio code to improve support for a wider variety of cards. + AUDIO: Minor mods for Digital Unix 3.2C MME 1.60 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.70.6.2 (06Jun96) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- + CVID: broke grayscale cvid animations. If you already have2706 or 27061 then you can just edit "xa_qt.c" and change line 1127 from: --- } --- to be: --- } if (qt->depth == 40) qt->depth = 8; --- and recompile. Saves you a download. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.70.6.1 (05Jun96) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- + KPCD: Fixed minor warning that some fanatical compilers considered an error. :^) No reason to upgrade to this if you can compile 2.70.6 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.70.6 (04Jun96) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- + REMOTE: Petunia volume scrollbar is now settable with mouse. + REMOTE: -Zr wasn't working with Petunia. + REMOTE: some compile errors when compiling with no remote control. + AVI: hooks for Creative CYUV Video Codec added. see creative.readme for instructions. + AVI: Added support for WHAM video codec(same as CRAM). + QT: Added support for Kodak Photo CD Video Codec. + QT: Added support for RAW depth 1 Video Codec + QT: Added support for RLE depth 4 Video Codec + QT: Added support for Microsoft Video 1 Video Codec. +WAV: large audio chunks are broken into smaller chunks artificially by xanim to improve +f memory usage. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.70.5.4 (01May96) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- + Okay, I screwed up. I'm had changed over to long ints. Big mistake. Changing back. This won't affect machines with 32 data paths. Alpha users need to revert back to the xa2.0_ decompression modules. + AUDIO: Fixed bug where audio_ring can occasionally get out of sync between the update and the audio_out pointers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.70.5.3 (28Apr96) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- + This is just a clean up release. Fixed all the "gcc -Wall" warnings on both linux and SunOS 4.1.3 machines. Some of these warnings were(or were treated) as compile errors on SGI and Alpha machines. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.70.5.2 (19Apr96) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- + MPG: fixed a bug when allocating MPG buffers if the height was greater than the width. + FLI: fixed a bug introduced in 27051 that affects some FLIs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.70.5.1 (12Apr96) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- + AUD: with the +f option, stopping moving restarting or playing backward then forwards could occasionally break audio. Now fixed. This bug was recently introduced, but not sure when. + AVI: added +F dithering support to CRAM16 Video Codec. + BUG: fixed bug in 2x2 dithering used by Cinepak. Was introduced in 2705 as I tried to improved the dithering. This caused potential core dumps. + HPDEV: setting sampling rate occasionally failed because /dev/audio reported it was busy. Now loop on that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- When downloading vi ftp, make sure "type binary" is used. If you have "gzip" or "gunzip" get the .gz version. 1) download xanim27063.tar.gz 2) "gunzip xanim27063.tar.gz" 3) "tar xvof xanim27063.tar" 4) "cd xanim27063" 5) read at least the following files: README cinepak.readme indeo.readme Compile_Help.doc If you only have "uncompress" then get the .Z version. 1) download xanim27063.tar.Z 2) "uncompress xanim27063.tar.Z" 3) Do steps 3 thru 5 above. If you download with a WWW browser, double check the files sizes. Network loading can prevent complete downloads and I haven't seen a browser yet that warns you of this. Here are the proper file sizes: 1867776 xanim27063.tar 382758 xanim27063.tar.gz 692122 xanim27063.tar.Z Mark --- Mark Podlipec podlipec@shell.portal.com
