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