  * 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 at 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.
