  12. Changes within VLCKit between 2.0.0 and 2.1.0:
  13. ----------------------------------------------
  14. The entire framework was relicensed to LGPL 2.1 or later as well as its
  15. underlying playback modules.
  16. Support for transcoding and streaming as well as DVD playback was not affected
  17. by this move and stays under GPL until further notice.
  18. Please note that the Objective-C syntax was updated, so VLCKit may no longer
  19. compile with outdated versions of Xcode / clang.
  20. New APIs:
  21. - VLCStreamOutput:
  22. - support for subtitle transcoding
  23. - VLCMedia:
  24. - extended media track information for bitrate, language, description, source
  25. aspect ratio, source aspect denominator, frame rate, frame rate denominator,
  26. and text encoding
  27. - added setter and getter for individual meta data values as well as the
  28. ability to write changes to the media file
  29. - added (BOOL)isMediaSizeSuitableForDevice to let VLCKit determine whether the
  30. current media is considered to be suitable for the current device or
  31. playback is discouraged. Will always return true on OS X devices.
  32. - added individual getters for all statistic values, so client application can
  33. fetch single values instead of having to process a NSDictionary with all the
  34. available values. The old API is still available and will stay.
  35. - VLCMediaPlayer:
  36. - added support to enable, switch and disable video tracks
  37. - added setter/getter for SPU and audio delays
