2423 * This release will need Windows 2000 and Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger), or more
2424 recent to work correctly
2425 * The HTTP interface is now only available on the local machine by default.
2426 If you want to make it available from other machines, you will have to
2427 edit the ".hosts" file.
2428 - On UNIX/Linux, the file is in /usr/share/vlc/http/.hosts
2429 If you're using the old http interface, it's located in
2430 /usr/share/vlc/http/old/.hosts
2431 - On Windows they are in C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\http\.hosts and

2440 * The marq, mosaic and logo commands in the rc interface changed. They
2441 now require a target name as their first argument. Example:
2442 vlc --sub-filter "marq@test{marquee=Hello}" -I rc <somevideo>
2443 You can then use commands like: @test marq-marquee Goodbye
2444 If you didn't name the object using @test, its name will default to the
2445 plugin name (hence 'marq') in this example.
2446 These new commands are also available in the telnet interface.
2447 * The "rtp" access output module has been removed.
2448 Please use the RTP stream output instead, e.g.:
2449 Old: '#std{access=rtp,mux=ts,dst=239.255.1.2:5004,sap}'
2450 New: '#rtp{mux=ts,dst=239.255.1.2,port=5004,sap}'

2453 of options is available to m3u playlists (CVE-2007-6683).
2454 * The old access:url syntax is no longer supported to resolve ambiguities
2455 with some file names. Use access://url instead.
2456 E.g.: vlc:quit -> vlc://quit ;
2457 udp:@239.255.12.12 -> udp://@239.255.12.12
2458 * The ffmpeg module has been removed and replaced by the new avcodec,
2459 avformat, swscale (or imgresample if you use a swscale-less ffmpeg build)
2460 and postproc modules.
2461 * The web plugins ActiveX (IE)/Firefox/Mozilla/Safari now recognize the
2462 following states: IDLE/CLOSE=0, OPENING=1, BUFFERING=2, PLAYING=3, PAUSED=4,
2463 STOPPING=5, FORWARD=6, BACKWARD=7, ENDED=8, ERROR=9. With FORWARD and
2464 BACKWARD being reserved for future implementations and are thus not
2466 * Croping and padding in transcode are now done using the croppadd video
2467 filter. For example:
2468 transcode{vcodec=mp2v,vfilter=croppadd{cropttop=20,cropbottom=30,paddleft=100}}
2469 * Canvas setting in transcode is now done using the canvas video filter.
