+
+Important changes for users:

+
+Important changes for packagers:
+ * The module cache has moved to ${libdir}/vlc/. The module cache can now be
+   generated at install time except if you use staged installation. In the
+   later case, you can generate the module cache in your post-inst script

+   can't write in ${libdir}/vlc/, it will result it vlc taking a long time to
+   launch each time.
+ * Most X11-related plugins now use XCB instead of Xlib. VLC now uses
+   - xproto,
+   - xcb, xcb-shm, xcb-xv, xcb-randr (from libxcb),
+   - xcb-keysyms (from xcb-utils),
+   - x11-xcb (from libx11) - only for GLX support.

+   required to inhibit the screensaver during video playback.
