* (Linux) Now smplayer tries to follow the XDG Base Directory Specification (
http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedi … atest.html) for the config files. So now smplayer will save its config files under the directory $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/smplayer or $HOME/.config/smplayer if $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not defined. If you want to keep your preferences, copy the files in $HOME/.smplayer to $HOME/.config/smplayer

* Added a new option "Floating control" in Preferences->Interface. It allows to configure the floating control (width, margin...).
(2008-11-06)
* (Experimental) Added the possibility to select the adaptor for xv. Requires at least MPlayer SVN r26762 (from 2008-05-13).

* Added support for another patch:
http://smplayer.svn.sourceforge.net/vie … _exit.diff
This patch allows the playlist to work properly even if the output messages of mplayer are not in English.
* New option for smplayer.ini: bypass_window_manager (section [floating_control]). If set to true (the default), the floating control widget will bypass the window manager (seems necessary for some window managers). You can try to set it to false if you have problems with the floating control.

* On startup the previous position of the main (default) window is checked if it's valid for the current screen. If it's not, then the window is moved to 0x0.
* The same for the playlist (if it's not docked).

* Cleanup and reorganization of the config path code. The commandline option -ini-path has been removed and replaced with -config-path, which specifies the directory where smplayer will store its data (not only smplayer.ini).
* Now to know if a file has no video, instead of looking for the line "Video: no video" (it's not reliable as it's a string that can be translated), it will check the video codec, if it's empty, there's no video.

* The reorganization of the subtitles section in preferences is finished.
* The mplayer devs have added the -volume option in svn r27872, so now the hack to try to detect a patched mplayer have been removed. Now smplayer will simply use the -volume option if mplayer is r27872 or newer.

* The subtitles for srt, sub... formats when using the SSA/ASS library, can now be more customized. It's possible to select the font, size, colors, bold, italic, outline, shadow... Not finished yet.

* Added the new option "Correct pts" in Preferences->Advanced. Disabled by default because it causes some problems with mkv files.
* The dialog to jump to a specified time allows now to enter the seconds too.
