Blacklight 0.1.1 "aac-and-libfaac"

  1. Series trunk
  2. 0.1.1 "aac-and-libfaac"

This release adds compatibility with Ubuntu 8.10, and hopefully it should remain compatible with all future versions now. This is an internal change inside the CLI package and will not require a new GUI package.

Release notes 

This is a small bugfix release, that now ensures that Blacklight3 will work on Ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10. It also adds the "unstripped" libav packages as a "suggests", because Blacklight3 will NOT work without either these packages or a home-compiled ffmpeg. The Blacklight3-gui package does not need to be updated, only the CLI package.

Changelog

Changelog for Blacklight3 0.1.1:

1. FFmpeg changed the codec name from "aac" to "libfaac". If Blacklight3 tries the "aac" name and gets an error message about "Unknown encoder" from ffmpeg, it then tries the "libfaac" name. If that gives the same error, Blacklight3 (CLI) tells the user what has happened, how to get the unstripped libraries if they don't already have them, and if they do it tells them to submit a bug report.

2. The Debian package now lists the libav unstripped packages as "suggests". The ordinary, stripped packages in Ubuntu 8.10 do not have restricted format support, and Medibuntu no longer provides a set of unstripped libraries. However, Ubuntu provides them now, so we list them as a "suggests" in case someone wonders why the encoding fails. We don't list as a "depends" because I know a lot of people use their own self-compiled version of ffmpeg, and we don't want apt to try and overwrite it automatically.

That's it, nothing extra special in this release, it just works now.
