1763 * This release will need Windows 2000 and Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger), or more
1764 recent to work correctly
1765 * The HTTP interface is now only available on the local machine by default.
1766 If you want to make it available from other machines, you will have to
1767 edit the ".hosts" file.
1768 - On UNIX/Linux, the file is in /usr/share/vlc/http/.hosts
1769 If you're using the old http interface, it's located in
1770 /usr/share/vlc/http/old/.hosts

1780 * The marq, mosaic and logo commands in the rc interface changed. They
1781 now require a target name as their first argument. Example:
1782 vlc --sub-filter "marq@test{marquee=Hello}" -I rc <somevideo>
1783 You can then use commands like: @test marq-marquee Goodbye
1784 If you didn't name the object using @test, its name will default to the
1785 plugin name (hence 'marq') in this example.
1786 These new commands are also available in the telnet interface.
1787 * The "rtp" access output module has been removed.
1788 Please use the RTP stream output instead, e.g.:
1789 Old: '#std{access=rtp,mux=ts,dst=239.255.1.2:5004,sap}'
1790 New: '#rtp{mux=ts,dst=239.255.1.2,port=5004,sap}'

1793 of options is available to m3u playlists (CVE-2007-6683).
1794 * The old access:url syntax is no longer supported to resolve ambiguities
1795 with some file names. Use access://url instead.
1796 E.g.: vlc:quit -> vlc://quit ;
1797 udp:@239.255.12.12 -> udp://@239.255.12.12
1798 * The ffmpeg module has been removed and replaced by the new avcodec,
1799 avformat, swscale (or imgresample if you use a swscale-less ffmpeg build)

1801 * The web plugins ActiveX (IE)/Firefox/Mozilla/Safari now recognize the
1802 following states: IDLE/CLOSE=0, OPENING=1, BUFFERING=2, PLAYING=3, PAUSED=4,
1803 STOPPING=5, FORWARD=6, BACKWARD=7, ENDED=8, ERROR=9. With FORWARD and
1804 BACKWARD being reserved for future implementations and are thus not
1806 * Croping and padding in transcode are now done using the croppadd video
1807 filter. For example:
1808 transcode{vcodec=mp2v,vfilter=croppadd{cropttop=20,cropbottom=30,paddleft=100}}
1809 * Canvas setting in transcode is now done using the canvas video filter.
