https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson With contributions from: Tim-Philipp Müller <tim@centricular.com> Matej Knopp <matej.knopp@gmail.com> Jussi Pakkanen <jpakkane@gmail.com> (original port) Highlights of the features provided are: * Faster builds on Linux (~40-50% faster) * The ability to build with MSVC on Windows * Generate Visual Studio project files * Generate XCode project files * Much faster builds on Windows (on-par with Linux) * Seriously fast configure and building on embedded ... and many more.

Kate is a free codec for text based data, which can also carry images. It is typically used to create overlays on a video. libkate, a codec for Kate streams, is required to build this plugin: http://libkate.googlecode.com/ libtiger, a rendering library for Kate streams, is optional: http://libtiger.googlecode.com/ The Kate plugin contains various elements to manipulate Kate streams: - katedec: decodes Kate streams to text and SPU images - kateenc: encodes Kate streams from text and SPU images - kateparse: parses Kate streams - katetag: allows changing metadata in Kate streams - tiger: decodes and renders Kate streams using libtiger (needs libtiger) More information about Kate can be found at: http://wiki.xiph.org/index.php/OggKate
