+ - --live-caching specifies caching for capture devices and
+ - --disc-caching specifies caching for local optical media.
+ All values are expressed in milliseconds as in previous versions.
+ * HTTP server IP address, port, and TLS configuration is now centralized:

+ - The TLS credentials are configured with --http-cert (public certificate),
+ --http-key (private key), --http-ca (optional CA) and
+ --http-crl (optional CRL).
+ * RTSP server IP address and port are updated similarly.
+ Use --rtsp-host and --rtsp-port respectively.
+ * The --miface-addr option does not exist anymore. To select the multicast
+ output interface, use --miface instead, e.g. --miface=eth0.
+ * The Windows version will only work with Windows XP SP2 or later.
+ Windows 2000 SP4, Windows XP < SP2, Windows 2003 SP0 are now unsupported.
