Some override-able variables were renamed silently in 1.11

DEFAULT_COLS ⇒ cols
DEFAULT_INTERVAL ⇒ interval
DEFAULT_NUMCAPS ⇒ numcaps

No need for description

The grep regex uses ‘\s’ which is Perl-style and not supported by all greps.

Use ‘:space:’ or similar.

Low severity since vcs works with the failed check.

Safe length measuring creates extra temporary directories that aren’t removed properly

pyth_th() uses **, accepted by gawk but not mawk

Also Ubuntu uses mawk by default.

Symbolic font names don’t work since IM won’t know about TTF fonts.

Probably affects other systems too.

i.e.

interval=5m

This is a meta-item depending on bugs/features required to complete before releasing vcs 1.12

End offset will be set to a small percentage of the length (5.5%? –5m for 90m–), applicable always by default, instead of a fixed value

MIN_LENGTH_FOR_END_OFFSET was deprecated in 1.11 and will be ignored starting with 1.12.

The new behaviour is to apply by default a small end offset always, based on the video length. Users will be able to disable this with either -E0 or config option end_offset=0

With the introduction of profiles vcs will need directories to place them.

Using vcs-nix might be safer since vcs is too short and too meaningful (Version Control System) to hijack it safely.

Candidates:

• Site-wide: /usr/share/vcs/profiles, /usr/local/share/vcs/profiles/
• User-local: ~/.vcs/profiles/

With the introduction of ~/.vcs/ (or ~/.vcs-nix/) it makes sense moving local configurations there. The older ~/.vcs.conf will still be accepted.

Load order:

1. /etc/vcs.conf
2. ~/.vcs.conf
3. ~/.vcs/vcs.conf
4. ./vcs.conf

shoehorn is most probably no longer needed (or even working) with the complexity vcs has gained over time

–mincho was replaced with –nonlatin in 1.11

No need for description

No need for description

So that the syntax and options are clearer.

This is a meta-item depending on bugs/features required to complete before releasing vcs 1.13

Previous:  FS#140 ,  FS#170 
Next: FS#153

-I does use it

Configuration options that will trigger a change of all fonts, background and foreground settings respectively

Command-line arguments for DVD handling should be consistent with handling of video files, e.g.:

$ vcs --dvd --dvd-title 1 /dev/dvd

with dvd-title being optional, instead of

$ vcs --dvd /dev/dvd 1

Complete manpage.

font_filename is ignored in 1.12

An alternative in the form of (boolean) nonlatin_filenames or similar should be added.
