 General notes
 -------------
-This release is binary compatible with 0.8. The 'ffmpeg' command-line tool has
-been extended to also support the command line syntax and features of a tool
-called avconv.
-
-Additionally, this release introduces a number of new interesting codecs
-such as the Apple Prores, Flash Screen Video 2 and Windows Media Image,
-and muxers such as LATM or CELT in Ogg, among many others. Moreover, our
-H.264 decoder has been improved to decode 4:2:2 material and our libx264
-wrapper now allows to produce 4:2:2 and 4:4:4 video.
+This release is binary compatible with 0.8 and 0.9.
