1174 * This release will need Windows 2000 and Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger), or more

1177 If you want to make it available from other machines, you will have to
1178 edit the ".hosts" file.
1179 - On UNIX/Linux, the file is in /usr/share/vlc/http/.hosts
1180 If you're using the old http interface, it's located in
1181 /usr/share/vlc/http/old/.hosts

1191 * The marq, mosaic and logo commands in the rc interface changed. They
1192 now require a target name as their first argument. Example:
1193 vlc --sub-filter "marq@test{marquee=Hello}" -I rc <somevideo>
1194 You can then use commands like: @test marq-marquee Goodbye
1195 If you didn't name the object using @test, its name will default to the
1196 plugin name (hence 'marq') in this example.
1197 These new commands are also available in the telnet interface.
1198 * The "rtp" access output module has been removed.
1199 Please use the RTP stream output instead, e.g.:
1200 Old: '#std{access=rtp,mux=ts,dst=239.255.1.2:5004,sap}'
1201 New: '#rtp{mux=ts,dst=239.255.1.2,port=5004,sap}'

1205 * The old access:url syntax is no longer supported to resolve ambiguities
1206 with some file names. Use access://url instead.
1207 E.g.: vlc:quit -> vlc://quit ;
1208 udp:@239.255.12.12 -> udp://@239.255.12.12
1209 * The ffmpeg module has been removed and replaced by the new avcodec,

1213 following states: IDLE/CLOSE=0, OPENING=1, BUFFERING=2, PLAYING=3, PAUSED=4,
1214 STOPPING=5, FORWARD=6, BACKWARD=7, ENDED=8, ERROR=9. With FORWARD and
1215 BACKWARD being reserved for future implementations and are thus not
1217 * Croping and padding in transcode are now done using the croppadd video
1218 filter. For example:
1219 transcode{vcodec=mp2v,vfilter=croppadd{cropttop=20,cropbottom=30,paddleft=100}}
1220 * Canvas setting in transcode is now done using the canvas video filter.
