http://fromani.exit1.org/transcode-1.0.4rc3.tar.bz2

checksum files are avalaible at

This is a pretty spicy release for a stable branch.
Most notable changes are:

1) the removal of gtk+ 1.x requirement,
since we already have good alternatives for preview filter and
requiring a such old (unmantained) version of library was becoming
more and more annoying for both developers and packagers.
2) various improvements on IM camp. Two import modules were rewritten
from scratch, three filters were seriously updated.
affected modules:

import_im       (rewritten)
import_imlist   (rewritten)
filter_compare  (updated)
filter_logo     (updated)
filter_logoaway (updated)

I have to recommend some prudence in there since new code isn't well
tested yet. I plan at least one RC more just to stabilize such modules
(import modules of course deserves more care).

No other changes are planned except for hotfixes as usual.

Terse ChangeLog follows:

transcode 1.0.4 (since 1.0.3):
------------------------------
- improve detection of MPEG streams: 
  do not use hardcoded defaults if sequence header has incorrect data;
- make our IM filters compatible with IM 6.3.x with HDR:
  improve pixel access;
- drop old GTK 1.x requirement;
- improve compatibility with libmpeg3 1.7;
- improve compatibility with newer ffmpeg libraries;
- trivial warning reduction fixes;

Best regards,
