xine-lib 1-rc3c released.

Hi all,

a new version of xine-lib has just been released:
xine-lib 1-rc3c is yet another service release, fixing some quite annoying
bugs(Deadlock, and some performance issues) that still occured with 1-rc3b.

If you wonder, why this release is called 1rc3c and not 1rc4:
The answer is that the xine team has a roadmap towards xine 1.0, which
defines tasks to be done for every release in the rc-series and we simply
have not finished all the requirements for 1rc4. If you want, you can read
more about it in the TODO file:

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/xine/xine-lib/TODO

As usual, you can download the new release from:

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

If you had trouble with DVD menus, our DXR3 output, xine's OSD character
set, or if xine had a tendency to hang or stutter under some (possibly
rare) conditions, we recommend you to upgrade to this release.
In the unlikely event that this won't fix the issue for you, please report
your problems to <[email protected]>!

There should be no visible changes (other than bugfixes) compared to the
1-rc3b release, so the upgrade process will probably run smoothly.

For reference, here's the complete ChangeLog for this release:

xine-lib (1-rc3c)
  * fix the deadlock with non-seekable input plugins
  * guess codeset for OSD if nl_langinfo(CODESET) is missing or not
    working

  * fix possible crashes in front-ends that create and delete streams
  * send a message to the front-end when the audio device is busy
  * revert changes to the DVD plugin that made it impossible to play
    mounted DVDs
  * use xine network functions in CDDB lookups, fix connection timeout
  * preparing for future MinGW port
  * improved network buffer management policy.
  * asf/mmst/mmsh proper support for "media changing" command.
  * improve playback with separate subtitles, fix the seeking and a
    deadlock
  * DVD still menus fixed that were broken in rc3b
  * deadlocks with network buffer control fixed
  * DXR3's letterboxed overlay mode works with pan&scan material
  * DXR3: timestamp handling for NAV packets fixes the menu on the first

Enjoy,
	Siggi
