Updated Helix build, XBMC master from July 06 + newclock3 commits.
XBMC Master:
• Master changelog
• NB! Video database version updated (also, see extra commit below)
Newclock3:
• No need to compute slow hash on changes in case the fast one already succeeded
• [settings] Add update flag to omx acceleration
• [omx] Avoid hang some jpegs that failed to decode
• [pi] Reduce time textures are held for when memory is low
• [omx] Restrict the number of outstanding jpeg calls to gpu
• [omxplayer] Explictly choose deinterlace method for 1080i
Extra:
• Built with updated libnfs version 1.9.4, new libs also included in build
• MySQL: PR #4895 included to (hopefully) fix error on videodb update
Firmware from July 05:
• Use stripped versions of elf files
• Updated with regenerated fixup files
• dispmanx: Fix snapshot scaling when a fullscreen dest rect is used
• dispmanx: allow rotations into 24-bit memory displays
• Add MMAL parameter for render stats
• image_decode: Move decode thread to second core (improves jpeg decode time a little)
• imagefx: Separate out the fast 1080i deinterlace algorithm
