+Changes between 1.1.0 and 1.2.0-git:
------------------------------------
+Important changes for packagers:

+ * BDA: experimental support for ClearQam devices
+
+Codecs

+
+Video Filter:
+ * New gradfun filter for debanding videos using dithering
+
+Stream output:
+ * New livehttp-module for HTTP Live Streamin (iphone-stuff),
+ example: vlc inputfile :sout="#transcode{vcodec=h264,acodec=mp3,
+ venc=x264{profile=baseline},width=320,vb=256,ab=96}:std{
+ access=livehttp{index=public_html/iphonestream.m3u8,

+ protocols (HTTP, PulseAudio...). This replaces the --http-user-agent and
+ the former --user-agent libvlc_new() parameters.
+ * libvlc_video_set_callbacks() and libvlc_video_set_format() allow grabbing
+ video frames from a chosen memory location in real-time. This replace the
