1767 * This release will need Windows 2000 and Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger), or more
1768 recent to work correctly
1769 * The HTTP interface is now only available on the local machine by default.
1770 If you want to make it available from other machines, you will have to
1771 edit the ".hosts" file.
1772 - On UNIX/Linux, the file is in /usr/share/vlc/http/.hosts
1773 If you're using the old http interface, it's located in
1774 /usr/share/vlc/http/old/.hosts

1784 * The marq, mosaic and logo commands in the rc interface changed. They
1785 now require a target name as their first argument. Example:
1786 vlc --sub-filter "marq@test{marquee=Hello}" -I rc <somevideo>
1787 You can then use commands like: @test marq-marquee Goodbye
1788 If you didn't name the object using @test, its name will default to the
1789 plugin name (hence 'marq') in this example.
1790 These new commands are also available in the telnet interface.
1791 * The "rtp" access output module has been removed.
1792 Please use the RTP stream output instead, e.g.:
1793 Old: '#std{access=rtp,mux=ts,dst=239.255.1.2:5004,sap}'
1794 New: '#rtp{mux=ts,dst=239.255.1.2,port=5004,sap}'

1798 * The old access:url syntax is no longer supported to resolve ambiguities
1799 with some file names. Use access://url instead.
1800 E.g.: vlc:quit -> vlc://quit ;
1801 udp:@239.255.12.12 -> udp://@239.255.12.12
1802 * The ffmpeg module has been removed and replaced by the new avcodec,
1803 avformat, swscale (or imgresample if you use a swscale-less ffmpeg build)

1805 * The web plugins ActiveX (IE)/Firefox/Mozilla/Safari now recognize the
1806 following states: IDLE/CLOSE=0, OPENING=1, BUFFERING=2, PLAYING=3, PAUSED=4,
1807 STOPPING=5, FORWARD=6, BACKWARD=7, ENDED=8, ERROR=9. With FORWARD and
1808 BACKWARD being reserved for future implementations and are thus not
1810 * Croping and padding in transcode are now done using the croppadd video
1811 filter. For example:
1812 transcode{vcodec=mp2v,vfilter=croppadd{cropttop=20,cropbottom=30,paddleft=100}}
1813 * Canvas setting in transcode is now done using the canvas video filter.
