---------------
vlc (2.0.0~unix-0ubuntu1) precise; urgency=low

  * New upstream release (Closes: #499381, #573064, #624027, LP: #455825,
    #573775, #695882, #705151, #708448, #738381, #743581, #747757, #817924,
    #931083).
  * Remove dropped mozilla-plugin-vlc, vlc-plugin-ggi, and vlc-plugin-svgalib.
    The Mozilla browser plug-in is now provided by a separate source tarball.
  * Add new plugins to and remove dropped plugins from vlc-nox.
  * Add new and remove dropped build dependencies:
    + libbluray-dev (for Blu-ray support)
    + libresid-builder-dev
    + libsamplerate0-dev
    + libsidplay2-dev
    + lbspeexdsp-dev
    + libxcb-composite0-dev
    - libgtk2.0-dev
    - xulrunner-dev
  * vlc-plugin-fluidsynth depends on fluid-soundfont-gm or
    musescore-soundfont-gm for having a sound font for playing MIDI files.
  * Drop all patches (they were either backported or accepted by upstream).
  * Update symbols for libvlc5.
  * Install plugins.dat instead of running vlc-cache-gen in postinst.
  * Update minimum version of build dependencies.
  * Change Build-Dependency from libupnp3-dev to unversioned libupnp-dev.
