--------------------------------Important notes:
* The licenses of libVLC and libVLCcore have changed from GPLv2+ to LGPLv2.1+
* 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
* The 40+ --*-caching options were simplified and dumbed down to 4 options:
- --file-caching specifies caching for local files,
- --network-caching specifies caching for network resources,
- --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 --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.
* 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.
* The Mac OS version will require Quartz Extreme compatible machines.
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.
