  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. Please note that the Objective-C syntax was updated, so VLCKit may no longer compile with outdated versions of Xcode / clang.
  8. New APIs:
  9. - VLCStreamOutput:
  10. - support for subtitle transcoding
  11. - VLCMedia:
  12. - extended media track information for bitrate, language, description, source
  13. aspect ratio, source aspect denominator, frame rate, frame rate denominator,
  14. and text encoding
  15. - added (BOOL)isMediaSizeSuitableForDevice to let VLCKit determine whether the
  16. current media is considered to be suitable for the current device or
  17. playback is discouraged. Will always return true on OS X devices.
  18. - added individual getters for all statistic values, so client application can
  19. fetch single values instead of having to process a NSDictionary with all the
  20. available values. The old API is still available and will stay.
  21. - VLCMediaPlayer:
  22. - added support to enable, switch and disable video tracks
  23. - added setter/getter for SPU and audio delays
  24. - added setter/getter for the video scale factor
  25. - added support for the "adjust" video filter to manipulate contrast,
  26. brightness, hue, saturation and gamma on the fly
  27. - new interfaces to fetch names and IDs of audio, subtitle and video tracks
  28. - added the ability to launch instances with custom libvlc options
  29. - VLCLibrary:
  30. - added the ability to launch instances with custom libvlc options
  31. Deprecated APIs:

  44. - iOS Deployment target was raised to iOS 5.1
  45. - dropped support for the PowerPC architecture
  46. - Mac Deployment target was raised to OS X 10.7
  47. - different logging behavior: to see any debug messages, the framework needs
