2426 * This release will need Windows 2000 and Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger), or more
2427 recent to work correctly
2428 * The HTTP interface is now only available on the local machine by default.
2429 If you want to make it available from other machines, you will have to
2430 edit the ".hosts" file.
2431 - On UNIX/Linux, the file is in /usr/share/vlc/http/.hosts
2432 If you're using the old http interface, it's located in
2433 /usr/share/vlc/http/old/.hosts
2434 - On Windows they are in C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\http\.hosts and
2435 C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\http\old\.hosts

2442 * The behavior of --sout-keep was changed. It's now activated by default.
2443 * The marq, mosaic and logo commands in the rc interface changed. They
2444 now require a target name as their first argument. Example:
2445 vlc --sub-filter "marq@test{marquee=Hello}" -I rc <somevideo>
2446 You can then use commands like: @test marq-marquee Goodbye
2447 If you didn't name the object using @test, its name will default to the
2448 plugin name (hence 'marq') in this example.
2449 These new commands are also available in the telnet interface.
2450 * The "rtp" access output module has been removed.
2451 Please use the RTP stream output instead, e.g.:
2452 Old: '#std{access=rtp,mux=ts,dst=239.255.1.2:5004,sap}'
2453 New: '#rtp{mux=ts,dst=239.255.1.2,port=5004,sap}'

2456 of options is available to m3u playlists (CVE-2007-6683).
2457 * The old access:url syntax is no longer supported to resolve ambiguities
2458 with some file names. Use access://url instead.
2459 E.g.: vlc:quit -> vlc://quit ;
2460 udp:@239.255.12.12 -> udp://@239.255.12.12
2461 * The ffmpeg module has been removed and replaced by the new avcodec,
2462 avformat, swscale (or imgresample if you use a swscale-less ffmpeg build)
2463 and postproc modules.
2464 * The web plugins ActiveX (IE)/Firefox/Mozilla/Safari now recognize the
2465 following states: IDLE/CLOSE=0, OPENING=1, BUFFERING=2, PLAYING=3, PAUSED=4,
2466 STOPPING=5, FORWARD=6, BACKWARD=7, ENDED=8, ERROR=9. With FORWARD and
2467 BACKWARD being reserved for future implementations and are thus not
2469 * Croping and padding in transcode are now done using the croppadd video
2470 filter. For example:
2471 transcode{vcodec=mp2v,vfilter=croppadd{cropttop=20,cropbottom=30,paddleft=100}}
2472 * Canvas setting in transcode is now done using the canvas video filter.
2474 transcode{vcodec=mp2v,vfilter=canvas{width=640,height=480}}
