  1. Changes within VLCKit between 2.0.0 and 2.1.0:
  2. ----------------------------------------------
  3. The entire framework was relicensed to LGPL 2.1 or later as well as its
  4. underlying playback modules.
  5. Support for transcoding and streaming as well as DVD playback was not affected
  6. by this move and stays under GPL until further notice.
  7. New APIs:
  8. - VLCStreamOutput:
  9. - support for subtitle transcoding
  10. - VLCMedia:
  11. - extended media track information for bitrate, language, description, source
  12. aspect ratio, source aspect denominator, frame rate, frame rate denominator,
  13. and text encoding
  14. - added (BOOL)isMediaSizeSuitableForDevice to let VLCKit determine whether the
  15. current media is considered to be suitable for the current device or
  16. playback is discouraged. Will always return true on OS X devices.
  17. - added individual getters for all statistic values, so client application can
  18. fetch single values instead of having to process a NSDictionary with all the
  19. available values. The old API is still available and will stay.
  20. - VLCMediaPlayer:
  21. - added support to enable, switch and disable video tracks
  22. - added setter/getter for SPU and audio delays
  23. - added setter/getter for the video scale factor
  24. - added support for the "adjust" video filter to manipulate contrast,
  25. brightness, hue, saturation and gamma on the fly
  26. - new interfaces to fetch names and IDs of audio, subtitle and video tracks
  27. Deprecated APIs:
  28. - VLCMediaPlayer:
  29. @property (readonly) NSUInteger fps;
  30. - use (float)fps instead.
  31. - (NSArray *)videoSubTitles;
  32. - use - (NSArray *)videoSubtitleNames; instead
  33. - (NSArray *)audioTracks;
  34. - use - (NSArray *)audioTrackNames; instead
  35. - (NSArray *)videoTracks;
  36. - use - (NSArray *)videoTrackNames; instead
  37. Modified behavior:

  41. - dropped support for the PowerPC architecture
  42. - Mac Deployment target was raised to OS X 10.7
  43. - different logging behavior: to see any debug messages, the framework needs
  44. to be compiled in debug mode
  45. MobileVLCKit features:
  46. - added support for Opus
  47. - slimmed binary by removing dysfunctional or irrelevant modules
  48. - playback is paused if client app resigns active state
  49. - playback resumes if client app is being active again
  50. - idle state and screen sleep is prevented during playback
  51. Removed APIs:
  52. - VLCMediaList:
