On technical developments approached for this release:
- What's done:
- Edit project files to support either QT 4.8 and QT 5
- Make the source code compatible with MSVC (C98 instead of C99)
- Include into ffDiaporama source code both QT 4 libraries (fmt_filters and qimageblitz), making them compatible with QT 5 and simplifying: Remove everything that is not ARGB32
- Compile Exiv2 library on Windows with MSVC with compatibility mode to QT 5 (in 32 and 64 bits)
- Benefit of 64-bit Windows to support more memory
- Identify new dependencies to rebuild Windows and Linux installation packages
- Make the code compatible with ARM processors (deleting all references to SSE2, SSE3, etc …)
- Support ffmpeg 2.0
- Rebuild the starter for Windows (ffDiaporama-start): devel 20130807
- What's to be done:
- Postponed to next version:
Replace the use of SDL with its equivalent provided by the new features included in QT 5
- Support libav 9.7
- Transfer WIKI On-Line in the source code and include it in ffDiaporama .ts files
I'm always waiting from you to help me create a solid database of models of title and thumbnail.
So above all, do not hesitate to send me your custom templates (they are stored in your personal folder: ~/.ffDiaporama on Linux and C:\Document and settings\[user] on Windows)
Note:
I had planned to publish a version 1.6.1 including support for ffmpeg 2.0
Regarding the number of changes involved, I abandoned this idea and prefer to quick the publication of version 1.7
Consequently, the beta cycle should start soon with the hope to publish this new version, in a stable state, before the end of the month.
I recommend to users of Linux distributions affected by the updates of ffmpeg now to use the devel versions ffDiaporama 1.7.
