+  <li>The GUI will no longer display any error or warning messages.</li>
+  <li>Special GUI slave commands (gui_*) were removed, along with

+      2Vu1, P422, HDYC, IJLV, MVJP)
+      TwoCCs (0xA106, 0x6c75, 0xAAC0, 0x55005354)
+      to existing decoders</li>
+  <li>AMR now handled via OpenCORE decoder</li>
+  <li>updated Windows Media Screen Codec (MSS1, MSS2) via binary DLL</li>

+  <li>support for external libmpeg2 added</li>
+  <li>hardware MPEG decoder priority lowered</li>
+  <li>external libmpg123 support</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h4>Demuxers:</h4>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>Mostly fixed timing issues with some H.264 (PAFF) samples</li>
+  <li>Matroska and Ogg demuxers switched to use libavformat by default.
+      Report issues and use -demuxer ogg and -demuxer mkv to work around them.</li>
+  <li>support for TrueHD in Blu-ray streams in libmpdemux</li>
+  <li>more Blu-ray codec support with lavf</li>

+</ul>
+
+<h4>Streaming:</h4>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>Support for unencrypted Blu-ray playback through libbluray.

+</ul>
+
+<h4>Drivers:</h4>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>-vo yuv4mpeg:interlaced no longer does its own interlaced RGB->YUV
+      conversion. Use -vf scale=::1 to keep the same behavior and report
+      if there are any issues with that.</li>
+  <li>X11: Window manager chooses Window position by default.
+      Add geometry=50%:50% to your configuration to get the old behavior.</li>
+  <li>-vo md5sum md5 calculation changed so output matches FFmpeg's -f framemd5</li>
+  <li>Support for more formats in OpenGL video output drivers (different YUV
+      subsampling, 16 bit per component)</li>
+  <li>Selectable YUV to RGB conversion standard for -vo gl
+      (-vo gl:colorspace=...:levelconv=...)</li>
+  <li>-vo gl now tries to use yuv=2 by default if possible</li>
+  <li>-vo gl:stereo=... for experimental stereo (3D) support</li>
+  <li>-vo matrixview finally added</li>

+  <li>-name, -title and -use-filename-title options for MPlayer</li>
+  <li>support for stream handling via FFmpeg, in particular RTMP and RTSP
+      (use e.g. ffmpeg://http://example.com/test)</li>
+  <li>experimental support for external libass, configure with
+      --disable-ass-internal</li>
+  <li>better support for 16-bit-per-component formats and formats
+      with alpha channel</li>
