+Changes between 0.8.6 and 0.9.0-svn (not released yet):
-------------------------------------------------------
+Important notes:
+----------------
+ * 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.
+ XXX: DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS HERE :XXX
+ * 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" and "VLM control". 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
+ - Similarly, "Bookmarks" will be reintroduced in an improved version at a
+ later point
+ * The default for --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.
