* 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 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
- These new commands are also available in the telnet interface.
