      1 CHANGES
      2 ----------
      3 
      4 January 9, 1996 to July 17, 1996
      5 - cleaned up some code which gave warnings.
      6 - altered some code to be compatible with Sun CC compiler.
      7   However, support in the makefile for non-ansi C compilers
      8   has been dropped (this is a stupid thing to support).
      9 
     10 December 20, 1995 to January 9, 1996:
     11 
     12 verified on HHI #22, TCEH #23 bitstreams.
     13 
     14  1. new arguments format.  Got to be so many argument fields that
     15     a new more consistent format was devised.
     16 
     17  2. Frame_Store_Flag (-f) option now controls lower layer prediciton
     18     picture format (field or framewise)
     19 
     20  3. getpic() structural changes
     21 
     22 
     23 Since December 18, 1995:
     24 
     25 1. added special case for current B pictures subsframe.c which
     26    loads entire reference frame for buffer substitution.
     27 
     28 2. fixed -l omission (-lXext) in Makefile that drives Tristan nuts everytime.
     29 
     30 
     31 Since December 14, 1995:
     32 
     33  1. organized frame buffer substitution routines into subspic.c
     34  2. added "big file" -b mode for Tristan ;-)
     35 
     36 
     37 Since July 4, 1994:
     38 
     39 1. Concatenated elementary sequences within same bitstream
     40 
     41    Decode can now handle concatenated elementary video sequences of 
     42    arbitrary parameters.
     43   
     44 2. TRACE and VERBOSE #ifdef flags
     45 
     46 3. More disciplined naming convention
     47 
     48    normative variables and bitstream elements defined in 13818 are 
     49    verbatim, lower case.  Implementation specific routines and variables
     50    are capitolized.
     51 
     52 4. Spatial scalability corrections  
     53    - see Carsten's document (spatscal.doc)
     54 
     55 5. D-pictures (picture_coding_type==D_TYPE)
     56 
     57    Only two small changes were necessary to accomodate D-pictures: 
     58 
     59     a. in Decode_MPEG1_Intra_Block() added line which termines
     60        subroutine after DC coefficient has been processed.
     61 
     62     b. in picture_data(), added line which parses marker bit.
     63 
     64 
     65  6. forced decoder to display frame progressively (regardless of whether
     66     the picture is frame structured or field structured) when -f flag
     67     is invoked in the command line arguements.
     68 
     69     also: progressive_frame now decides whether a frame is to be displayed
     70      as a frame picture to two field pictures, rather than the older convention
     71      of testing progressive_sequence.
     72 
     73  7. Adapted systems parser from Stefan's mpeg2play to mpeg2decode.
     74     The major changes are:  
     75 
     76     mpeg2dec.c: 
     77      - fseek() called twice 
     78 
     79     gethdr.c, getpic.c:
     80      instances of Flush_Bits(par,32) changed to Flush_Bits32(par)
     81 
     82     gethdr.c 
     83      Get_Bits(par,32) changed to Get_32_Bits(par)
     84 
     85     global.h
     86       added rdmax, sysstream, and bfr[] to parameters struct.
     87 
     88  8. Restructuring of getpic.c:
     89 
     90       a. moved picture pointer rotation into Update_Picture_Buffers()
     91       b. moved picture output logic into Output_Current_Frame() to 
     92          in anticipation of 3:2 pulldown
     93 
     94
