* This release will not work with Windows 98/ME and Mac OS X 10.3.9 (Panther)
- 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 interface has a fullscreen controller and simplified preferences.
+ This interface lacks the "Streaming Wizard" that used to be present in VLC
+ 0.8.6.
* The behavior of --sout-keep was 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
+ If you didn't name the object using @test, its name will default to the
+ plugin name (hence 'marq') in this example.
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.:
transcode{vcodec=mp2v,vfilter=canvas{width=640,height=480}}
* Glide video output module has been removed.
* Due to lack of maintainer, the Skins interface might not work properly.
- * Transcoding multiple audio channels to mono does not work anymore.
+ It does not work on windows for this version. Help is needed!
