+  * Support input from pipes (subprocesses).
+
+    With a program that can output Metacube on stdout, such as a suitably
+    patched FFmpeg binary, this gives Cubemap transcoding/remuxing capabilities.
+
+    Of course, one cannot upgrade such a binary by SIGHUP-ing it, but it will
+    survive a Cubemap reload/restart.
+
+  * Add a LD_PRELOAD-able library to force Metacube output from FFmpeg.
+
+    This hooks just the right amount of functions to add Metacube output
+    to arbitrary FFmpeg programs, but is obviously very brittle.
+    (Native FFmpeg support would be better, but a patch did not
+    go through when I tried a while back.) It is only lightly tested.
+    Documentation in the README and cubemap.config.sample.
+
+  * Various bugfixes.
