video motion detection of linux base

   * Removed all warnings originating from the motion sources when running
     ./configure --with-developer-flags.
     The modifications were done by the following people: Peter Holik, Bill Brack,
     Angel Carpintero and Kenneth Lavrsen.
     http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/ReduceWarningsPatch
   * Fixed small mistake in allocating memory for cnt->imgs.common_buffer.
   * http control updated: (null) messages replaced by "disabled", last parameter
     in conf/list are displayed correctly and only in Main thread. When motion runs
     with only one thread, it displays "No threads".
   * http control: selectbox instead of a textfield for changing boolean configs
     (Peter Holik and Angel Carpintero)
     http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/WebhttpEnhancements.
   * Added the debian sub directory so that people can build the deb package.
   * Sync configure.in.freebsd (adding support for jpeg-mmx, developer-flags and
     some cosmetic changes ).
   * Implemented --with-developer-flags fixes in FreeBSD code.
   * In v4l_start change map from unsinged char * to void * to be ANSI C compliant
     with mmap
   * http control: Changed disabled to (not defined) when displaying option list.
   * FreeBSD Code improvements by Angel Carpintero
      * Implemented set/get hue , saturation , contrast and brightness.
      * Better support to capture with big resolution ( 640x480 , 768x576 ).
      * Update Readme adding information about "how to configure a capture
        card and settings" , update packages dependencies .
      * Remove support for libjpeg-mmx , motion sefgault ( future fix ).
      * Cosmetics changes in configure.in.freebsd ( replace --without-v4l by
        without-bktr ).
      * Cleanup code and fix warnings.
   * Implemented fix to configure so that LDFLAGS from the environment are used
     when making the Makefile.
     http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/BugReport2005x09x15x185558
   * Changed configure so that --with-jpeg-mmx is default off as a reaction to
     known problems seen when using the jpeg-mmx library.
   * Added the %t conversion specifier to show the thread number.
     http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/ThreadConversionSpecifierPatch
   * Fixed bug related to init of mutex in netcam code.
   * Netcam_ftp code fixes (Angel Carpintero and Asbj鴕n Pettersen)
     http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/NetcamWithFtpEnhancements
   * Enhanced ffmpeg detection.
     http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/BetterFFmpegDetection
   * New Feature: Motion is now also supported on MaxOSX with similar
     feature set as for Free BSD. See README.MacOSX for details how to install
     it. (Angel Carpintero)
     http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/MacOSXPatch
   * Added a work-around so people in FreeBSD that uses a capture card
     where input 1 is not tuner can use motion if frequency is set -1 in
     motion.conf or thread#.conf.
   * Fixed misc problems in FreeBSD.
      * Update README.FreeBSD
      * Fix problems with tuner_device and frequency, now by default is not
        defined to allow use any input without problem.
      * Replace strndup() by memcpy() in netcam.c
      * Merged configure.in.freebsd with configure.in (configure.in.freebsd
        deleted)
      * Remove a warning when used --without-bktr
      * Remove cpu optimization (is broken)
   * Fixed http control of pan and tilt.
     http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/BugReport2005x12x22x122649
   * Fixed sql_mask not initialisated correctly
     http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/BugReport2006x01x09x175603 
   * Fixed the management of strings from http remote control , setting to NULL
     when they are set to "blank" and fixes a problem with despeckle , that didn't
     allow to remove labeling action from http remote control. 
     http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/FixStringsAndDisableLabeling
   * Fix many typos in comments ( i ran aspell against the code ). Also there's a
     fix to free cnt->eventtime_tm when motion exits.
     http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/FixTypoInComments
   * Fix the problem that happens in FreeBSD and Debian Sarge because
     version of ffmpeg is LIBAVFORMAT_BUILD < 4629. ( Pete Shipley and Angel Carpintero)
     http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/BugReport2006x01x12x120335
   * Updated motion.spec. Changing D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 by D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=1 to fix
     problem related to building with ffmpeg. (Angel Carpintero) 
   * Added Tilt support to stepper track.
   * Fixed mysql configure auto-detection for x64 systems.
     http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/SupportQuestion2006x03x02x152208
   * Fixed a bug that only allowed remote control of max 9 cameras. Now
     Motion can present up to 99 cameras in its http remote control interface
     (Angel Carpintero based on idea by Chuck Sheehan)
     http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/WebHttpManyThreads
   * Removed annoying debug messages (v4l_set_input really needed ?) in the FreeBSD
     version.
   * Added new feature: minimum_frame_time which enables capturing at a lower rate
     than 2 frames per second (Kenneth Lavrsen and Angel Carpintero)
   * Fix segfault when netcam_url has no service ( http , ftp )
   * Fixed interlace issue with METEOR_GEO_EVEN_ONLY in FreeBSD
   * Fixed possible syntax error in configure related to MySQL
   * Put a new global mutex arround avcodec_close to avoid problems with not thread
     safe functions in ffmpeg
   * Put a new global mutex arround avcodec_close to avoid problems with not thread
     safe functions in ffmpeg.
     http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/BugReport2006x04x07x164654
   * On FreeBSD configure defines a redundant freebsd for motion. Fixed by replacing
     -D__freebsd_ by BSD macro  included in sys/param.h for BSD platforms.
     (JukkaUkkonen and Angel Carpintero)
     http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/BugReport2006x07x08x070417
   * For BSD platforms changed to using native pthreads as default and adding
     linuxthreads as a optional parameter from configure.
     http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/BugReport2006x07x08x071646
   * Added process_id_file feature
     http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/FeatureRequest2006x06x06x123003

John Edwards
   * Added the 'pal-nc' norm.

Stephen Farrugia
   * Fixing the division by zero problem.
     This makes motion a lot more stable.

Miguel Freitas
   * Came up with the round robing idea.

Aaron Gage
   * Pointed me to the vid_mmap/int problem when calling SYNC in
     video.c

Christophe Grenier
   * Fixed some file descriptor leaks in webcam.c and netcam.c.
   * Renamed the top level global context structure to cnt_list so it can be
     reached from child threads and by above mentioned close_anything_open()
   * Contributed with most of the code for new function in event.c
     close_anything_open() which is called from send_sms, send_mail and
     exec_command in order to prevent file descriptor and open sockets to be
     inherited by the shell causing freezing and instability.
     Code contributed by Christophe Grenier, Christopher Price and
     Kenneth Lavrsen.
   * Change the working directory to / in daemon mode. This way you don't have
     to kill motion to umount the partition from where you start it.
     http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/ChdirNetCamWgetPatch
   * In netcam-wget header_get() didn't always in add a \0 string terminator.
     This was fixed.
     http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/ChdirNetCamWgetPatch
   * Made a pthread fix.
     http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/PthreadFixPatch
   * Implemented the conversion of signal to sigaction which should be more
     thread safe. Hopefully this still keeps Motion from making Zombies.
     http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/ConvertSignalToSigaction

Mihnea-Costin Grigore
   * Fixed the oldlayout behaviour of snapshots.
   * Fixed snapshot link extension.
   * Added the snapshot_overwrite option.
   * Fix for correct mpeg names when using mpeg_encode.

Jan Gyselinck
   * Original time/date-stamp code.
   * ppm support
   * Good ideas

Colling H
   * New frame_limit.

Steffen Haas
   * Improved on screen display by adding more symbols and lower
     case letters.

Andrew Hamilton
   * Small speed boost to the function draw_textn (Andrew Hamilton and
     Angel Carpintero).
     http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/DrawTextnImprovement
   * Added new feature: Double size text. A new config option 'text_double' can
     be set 'on' and this scales the text to double size. Default is off.
     http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/TextScalingPatch
   * Fixed memory leak in ffmpeg code.
   * Added the ffmpeg_deinterlace feature (Andrew Hamilton)
     http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/MotionffmpegDeinterlace 

Peter Holik
   * Netcam First Header patch. If an error with jpeg decompression occured at
     connecting to a mjpeg streaming webcam, this patch skips this jpeg and tries
     to decompress next jpeg up to MAX_HEADER_RETRIES (20).
     http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/NetcamFirstHeader
   * Small improvement in framerate accuracy.
     http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/FramerateAdjust
   * Implemented a modified version of the WebcamCompressInMemory so that Motion
     no longer uses the tmpfile() function for buffering the frames of the mjpeg
     stream.
     http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/WebcamCompressInMemory
   * Implemented the libjpeg-mmx patch. Installing the MMX version of libjpeg
     can increase performance. Especially for machines with very little CPU power.
     It only modifies the configure script. If you do not have the libjpeg-mmx
     the configure script with ignore this and use the standard libjpeg.
     Note that RPMS will be built without this (Peter Holik and Angel Carpintero).
     http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/LibJpegMmx
   * Small code cleanup in webcam.c and picture.c and .h for the webcam code
     (Peter Holik and Kenneth Lavrsen).
   * Small speed optimization in the creation of reference frame.
   * Removed all warnings originating from the motion sources when running
     ./configure --with-developer-flags.
     The modifications were done by the following people: Peter Holik, Bill Brack,
     Angel Carpintero and Kenneth Lavrsen.
     http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/ReduceWarningsPatch
   * Implemented a speed-up patch of the draw text feature.
     http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/DrawTextspeedup
   * http control: selectbox instead of a textfield for changing boolean configs
     (Peter Holik and Angel Carpintero).
     http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/WebhttpEnhancements.
   * Introduced check for device image size being a multiple of 16.
     http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/NetcamModulo16Patch
   * Fixed netcamera bug related to seperating frames in an mjpeg stream.
     From mailing list 23 Dec 2005.
   * Avoid open file descriptor when connecting to network cameras fails 
     http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/AvoidOpenfiledescriptors

Wesley Hosking
   * For pointing me to the absence of a frame length check using
     read for capturing

Peter Ilin
   * Patch for handling vloopback pipes better when Motion receives
     SIGTERM or SIGHUB

Per J鰊sson
   * Added the rotate feature.
   * Improved the Makefile with automatic check of dependencies and
     nicer output for the user.
     http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/MakefileWithAutoDependencies
   * Improved rotate feature (speed)
     http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/RotatePatch
   * Implemented new ffmpeg patch
     http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/FfmpegPatch049
   * Implemented labelling speed patch
     http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/LabelingSpeedPatch
   * Improved the signal handling of ctrl-C
     http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/BugReport2005x01x06x181426
   * Fixed the ffmpeg code so that Motion also compiles against libavcodec
     build 4754 or later.
   * Fixed a bug in the autobrightness algoritm.
   * RotateBswapFix Patch v 2 including:
      * cleanup in code comments
      * fix for __bswap_32 macro collision
