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

2441 * The marq, mosaic and logo commands in the rc interface changed. They
2442 now require a target name as their first argument. Example:
2443 vlc --sub-filter "marq@test{marquee=Hello}" -I rc <somevideo>
2444 You can then use commands like: @test marq-marquee Goodbye
2445 If you didn't name the object using @test, its name will default to the
2446 plugin name (hence 'marq') in this example.
2447 These new commands are also available in the telnet interface.
2448 * The "rtp" access output module has been removed.
2449 Please use the RTP stream output instead, e.g.:
2450 Old: '#std{access=rtp,mux=ts,dst=239.255.1.2:5004,sap}'
2451 New: '#rtp{mux=ts,dst=239.255.1.2,port=5004,sap}'

2454 of options is available to m3u playlists (CVE-2007-6683).
2455 * The old access:url syntax is no longer supported to resolve ambiguities
2456 with some file names. Use access://url instead.
2457 E.g.: vlc:quit -> vlc://quit ;
2458 udp:@239.255.12.12 -> udp://@239.255.12.12
2459 * The ffmpeg module has been removed and replaced by the new avcodec,
2460 avformat, swscale (or imgresample if you use a swscale-less ffmpeg build)

2462 * The web plugins ActiveX (IE)/Firefox/Mozilla/Safari now recognize the
2463 following states: IDLE/CLOSE=0, OPENING=1, BUFFERING=2, PLAYING=3, PAUSED=4,
2464 STOPPING=5, FORWARD=6, BACKWARD=7, ENDED=8, ERROR=9. With FORWARD and
2465 BACKWARD being reserved for future implementations and are thus not
2467 * Croping and padding in transcode are now done using the croppadd video
2468 filter. For example:
2469 transcode{vcodec=mp2v,vfilter=croppadd{cropttop=20,cropbottom=30,paddleft=100}}
2470 * Canvas setting in transcode is now done using the canvas video filter.
