Changelog:
2019.10.11:
- Some minor changes to prevent compilation errors with older, dumb compilers.
2019.10.10:
- Added optional support to "MPEG2TransportStreamMultiplexor" for 'segmenting' the output
Transport Stream (by inserting a PAT and PMT Transport packet) every 'n' seconds.
(Also, an optional handler function is called whenever such a segment has completed.)
- Fixed a problem with the definition of "MPEG2TransportStreamParser" that could trip up some
compilers. (Thanks to Denis Genestier for reporting this.)
2019.09.30:
- Fixed a bug in "GenericMediaServer.cpp" (accidentally introduced in version 2019.08.10) that
could cause an infinite recursion error in the "LIVE555 Media Server".
(Thanks to Yi Xiansheng for reporting this.)
2019.09.18:
- Fixed a potential NULL pointer access error in "MatroskaFile.cpp" (if the input file contained
a H.264 or H.265 track without proper VPS,SPS,PPS NAL unit information)
2019.09.17:
- Added some more debugging statements to "RTSPServer.cpp" in hope of resolving an issue that
someone has seen with the "LIVE555 Proxy Server".
2019.08.28:
- Changed the implementation of "RTSPClient::sendGetParameterCommand()" to send no body in
the request if the "parameterName" is "" (not just NULL), because otherwise it supposedly
confuses some servers otherwise. (Thanks to Sergei Gagarin for reporting this problem.)
2019.08.16:
- Changed the way that "GenericMediaServer::createNewClientSessionWithId()" generates new
client session ids so that it avoids generating the same client session id in succession.
(This avoids confusing the MPEG1or2 and Matroska file demultiplexors, potentially causing an
'access after delete' error.)
(Thanks to Thuan Pham and Marcel Boehme from Monash University for reporting this.)
2019.08.12:
- Updated "H264or5VideoStreamParser::analyze_sei_payload()" to properly set the frame rate
for H.265 streams when "frame_field_info_present_flag" is not set.
(Thanks to Charles Yu for reporting this issue.)
- Update multimedia/libdvdread to 6.0.2 and bump dependent ports' revisions
(shared library version changed)
- Update multimedia/libdvdnav to version 6.0.1 (no ABI change)
Plasma 5.17 is the version where the desktop anticipates your needs. Night
Color, the color-grading system that relaxes your eyes when the sun sets, has
landed for X11. Your Plasma desktop also recognizes when you are giving a
presentation, and stops messages popping up in the middle of your slideshow. If
you are using Wayland, Plasma now comes with fractional scaling, which means
that you can adjust the size of all your desktop elements, windows, fonts and
panels perfectly to your HiDPI monitor.
The best part? All these improvements do not tax your hardware! Plasma 5.17 is
as lightweight and thrifty with resources as ever.
Important startup change:
With Plasma 5.17 the startup script has been renamed. People who use the
.xinitrc method to start Plasma have to call the new binary.
Previously:
exec ck-launch-session startkde
Change to:
exec ck-launch-session startplasma-x11
Announcement:
https://kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.17.0.php
Broccoli is deprecated in favor of broker; flag this in the BROCCOLI
option description and change the BROCTL option to imply BROKER.
