xine-lib 1-rc3a hotfix release

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hi all,

Some people have experienced segmentation faults using xine-lib 1-rc3,
especially with front ends that were compiled against an older version of
xine-lib.
Another important bug made xine hang quite frequently with unfair pthread
implementations (such as NPTL in Linux Kernel 2.6).
This version fixes all such bugs, replacing the 1-rc3 release.

Some minor features have been added, too. So even if xine didn't hang for
you after a kernel upgrade or segfault under certain conditions, you might
consider an upgrade.

As usual, you can download from

  http://xinehq.de/index.php/releases

The MD5 sum of this release is:

6dfd0c67b5b694adb283c0f6d8d3ab03  xine-lib-1-rc3a.tar.gz

The complete ChangeLog says:

xine-lib (1-rc3a)
  * new subtitle formats: jacobsub, subviewer 2.0, subrip 0.9
  * auto hiding of the subtitles
  * raw AAC file demuxer
  * fix starvation problem with kernel 2.6 NPTL
  * not overwrite the files by saving plugin
  * deinterlace fixes (detect mpeg1 as progressive and correct handling
    of top_field_first)
  * ogg/ogm demuxer fixes for big endian machines
  * update win32 port, working ffmpeg decode plugin
  * fixed segfault when running in verbose mode

Apologies to all those who have had trouble with 1-rc3, and thanks for
reporting the bugs!

On behalf of the xine project, I wish you a happy new year, and lots of
fun with xine (which will finally become stable in 2004. Really.)!
