LATM over LOAS AAC decoding via internal libfaad2.

support for DTS WAV/DTS-CD passthrough by ad_hwac3.

support for X8 frames (fixes 'J-type picture is not supported' for WMV2).

MPlayer 1.0rc3 can be downloaded by HTTP or FTP. Unless you are at least deadly allergic to it, use latest SVN instead. There is no need to download binary codec packages if you already have an older version. External library copies have been synchronized with upstream. A ton of compiler warnings disappeared and there have been refactorings all around. Our constant efforts to clean up the codebase continue as usual. Please use '-demuxer mov' if you still require the binary decoders. This breaks binary audio/video codecs with MOV/MP4 files.

We have switched to the libavformat MOV/MP4 demuxer to avoid maintaining the duplicate MOV/MP4 code. MPlayer now runs natively on 64bit OS X, the Wii and on OS/2. Hardware-accelerated video output over VDPAU is now possible, as is audio output through PulseAudio. This release adds support for a ton of new binary codecs and leverages all the stuff added to FFmpeg. For general usage current Subversion snapshots should be a better fit, as many bug fixes and new features are available. Thus we are now publishing it even though it is outdated even before the day of its release. Since it is designed to be compatible with the FFmpeg 0.5 branch, it will be useful to distros and other users still tracking said branch.

1.0rc3 was intended to be rolled out over a year ago, but got delayed again and again.
