+Changes between 1.1.x and 1.2.0-git:
 ------------------------------------
+
+Important notes:
+ * Start/end titles/chapters are now specified with # rather than @ to fix
+   conflicts with some URLs and file names. For instance, this plays a DVD
+   from the 2nd chapter of the 1st title up to the 4th chapter of the 3rd
+   title:  vlc dvd://#1:2-3:4
+ * HTTP server IP address, port, and TLS configuration is now centralized:
+   - The --http-host option sets the address, e.g. "--http-host=2001:db8::1".
+     By default, both :: and 0.0.0.0 are used.
+   - The --http-port and --https-port options set the port numbers.
+     By default, 8080 is used for HTTP, and 8443 for HTTPS.
+   - 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.
+
+Important changes for packagers:
+ * The default builds now assume that the operating system uses UTF-8 for
+   its file systems and files content (except the Windows port). If this is
+   not acceptable, pass --enable-non-utf8 to the configure script.
+   Non-UTF-8 file systems support will be removed in future versions.
+ * The VLC plugins path can be overridden with the VLC_PLUGIN_PATH environment
+   variable. The --plugin-path command line option was removed.
+ * The default tarballs are now compressed with XZ/LZMA: .tar.xz
+ * OSS support is not compiled on Linux by default, pass --enable-oss to the
+   configure script if you use OSSv4 or really want to use OSS emulation.
+ * The Windows version will only work with Windows XP SP2 or later.
+   Windows 2000 SP4, Windows XP < SP2, Windows 2003 SP0 are now unsupported.
+

+Changes between 1.0.6 and 1.1.0:
+--------------------------------
+
 Important changes for users:
+ * On Linux, known bugs in the ALSA library might prevent audio output.
+   Update to alsa-lib 1.0.24 or later, or use the PulseAudio output instead.
 
 Important changes for packagers:
  * The module cache has moved to ${libdir}/vlc/. The module cache can now be
-   generated at install time except if you use staged installation. In the 
+   generated at install time except if you use staged installation. In the
    later case, you can generate the module cache in your post-inst script
    by invoking 'vlc-cache-gen'. If the module cache is not present and vlc
    can't write in ${libdir}/vlc/, it will result it vlc taking a long time to
    launch each time.
+ * Most X11-related plugins now use XCB instead of Xlib. VLC now uses
+   - xproto,
+   - xcb, xcb-shm, xcb-xv, xcb-randr (from libxcb),
+   - xcb-keysyms (from xcb-utils),
+   - x11-xcb (from libx11) - only for GLX support.
+ * On X11 platforms, a _working_ version of xdg-screensaver is typically
+   required to inhibit the screensaver during video playback.
 
 Access:
- * Port of the screen module from Xlib to XCB
  * Support for the sftp protocol
  * Support for CDDB servers for Audio-CD on the Windows port
+ * New memory input (imem) access and access_demux module to feed VLC from data in memory
