2023-10-12favor ffmpeg over deprecated avconv
When this project started avconv was favored in Debian, but that hasn't been the case in many years. Increase the priority of ffmpeg to match the current situation in Debian.
2020-02-03doc: update copyrights for 2020
Using the 'update-copyright' script from gnulib[1]: git ls-files | UPDATE_COPYRIGHT_HOLDER='all contributors' \ UPDATE_COPYRIGHT_USE_INTERVALS=2 \ xargs /path/to/gnulib/build-aux/update-copyright [1] https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/gnulib.git
2020-01-06doc: remove most recommendations for sleepy_penguin
sleepy_penguin is still a hair faster than libffi+fiddle, but most users probably won't notice. So stop documenting it, but just don't introduce performance regressions for existing users.
2019-11-14doc: use new HTTPS address at lists.gnu.org
lists.gnu.org is no longer accessible via FTP.
2019-11-09doc: trivial typo fixes
2016-12-27http -> https, and relocate homepage to https://80x24.org/dtas/
HTTPS allows some level of security(*) and we've actually supported it on 80x24.org for many months, now. So, point new readers to it. Moving away from hostname-based homepages will allow us to save on subjectAltName space (and bandwith) when negotiating an HTTPS connection. We'll also have an .onion mirror for Tor users, soon, too; in case we can't afford to pay ICANN in the future. (assuming TLS libraries don't have any more Heartblead-level bugs in them, CAs aren't compromised, MITM HTTPS stripping proxies don't get in your way, and your certificate bundle isn't compromised).
2016-01-18doc: convert to perlpod(1) from Markdown
perlpod(1) is already installed by default on Debian and RedHat-based systems; and probably most modern *nixes; pandoc(1) (and Haskell) are not. POD also more standardized than Markdown (which flavor? :P), especially for generating manpages. So save any potential documentation editors some disk space by not forcing them to install Haskell and pandoc. Finally, I'm a mildly proficient in Perl and do not know Haskell at all and have a better chance at reading/hacking the source if the document generator breaks.
