-Changes between 0.8.6 and 0.9.0-svn (not released yet)
--------------------------------------------------------
+
+Changes between 0.8.6i and 0.9.0:
+---------------------------------
+
+Important notes:
+----------------
+ * This release will need Windows 2000 and Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger), or more
+ recent to work correctly
+ * 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 has a fullscreen controller and simplified preferences.
+ This interface lacks the "Streaming Wizard" that used to be present in VLC
+ 0.8.6, but provides basic profiles.
+ * 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.:
+ 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 to resolve ambiguities
+ with some file names. Use access://url instead.
+ E.g.: vlc:quit -> vlc://quit ;
+ udp:@239.255.12.12 -> udp://@239.255.12.12
+ * The ffmpeg module has been removed and replaced by the new avcodec,
+ avformat, swscale (or imgresample if you use a swscale-less ffmpeg build)
+ and postproc modules.
+ * The web plugins ActiveX (IE)/Firefox/Mozilla/Safari now recognize the
+ following states: IDLE/CLOSE=0, OPENING=1, BUFFERING=2, PLAYING=3, PAUSED=4,
+ STOPPING=5, FORWARD=6, BACKWARD=7, ENDED=8, ERROR=9. With FORWARD and
+ BACKWARD being reserved for future implementations and are thus not
+ functional atm.
+ * Croping and padding in transcode are now done using the croppadd video
+ filter. For example:
+ transcode{vcodec=mp2v,vfilter=croppadd{cropttop=20,cropbottom=30,paddleft=100}}
+ * Canvas setting in transcode is now done using the canvas video filter.
+ For example:
+ transcode{vcodec=mp2v,vfilter=canvas{width=640,height=480}}
+ * Glide video output module has been removed.
