3 Changes between 0.8.6 and 0.9.0-git (not released yet):
4 -------------------------------------------------------
8 * On Linux, localization will be disabled if you have glibc 2.6 or 2.7 due
9 to a major bug in libintl with these glibc versions.
10 * The HTTP interface is now only available on the local machine by default.
11 If you want to make it available from other machines, you will have to
12 edit the ".hosts" file.
13 - On UNIX/Linux, the file is in /usr/share/vlc/http/.hosts
14 If you're using the old http interface, it's located in
15 /usr/share/vlc/http/old/.hosts
16 - On Windows they are in C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\http\.hosts and
17 C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\http\old\.hosts
18 - On Mac OS X, you can find it in VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/share/http/.hosts
19 and respectively in VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/share/http/old/.hosts
20 * This version of VLC contains a new interface for Windows and Linux. This
21 interface lacks a few features that used to be present in VLC 0.8.6:
22 - "Streaming wizard". These features will be replaced
23 by a better alternative in the next version. If you absolutely need these
24 features, we advise you to keep VLC 0.8.6.
25 * The behavior of --sout-keep was changed. It's now activated by default.
26 * The marq, mosaic and logo commands in the rc interface changed. They
27 now require a target name as their first argument. Example:
28 vlc --sub-filter "marq@test{marquee=Hello}" -I rc <somevideo>
29 You can then use commands like: @test marq-marquee Goodbye
30 These new commands are also available in the telnet interface.
31 * The "rtp" access output module has been removed:
32 Please use the RTP stream output instead, e.g.:
33 Old: '#std{access=rtp,mux=ts,dst=239.255.1.2:5004,sap}'
34 New: '#rtp{mux=ts,dst=239.255.1.2,port=5004,sap}'
35 * You now need to append --m3u-extvlcopt to your command line to enable
36 EXTVLCOPT options parsing in m3u playlists. Note that only a limited set
37 of options is available to m3u playlists (CVE-2007-6683).
38 * The old access:url syntax is no longer supported. Use access://url instead.
39 E.g.: vlc:quit -> vlc://quit ;
40 udp:@239.255.12.12 -> udp://@239.255.12.12
