Special Notices & Instructions

• MySQL must have time zone tables added, see MySQL_Time_Zone_Tables.
• If you need mythffplay, add --enable-sdl to your configure run [fb90f73].
• User scripts/tools that depended on mysql.txt should be reviewed. Since MythTV no longer uses mysql.txt, its no longer updated. Scripts/tools could stop working.

• HLS users must use --enable-libmp3lame when running configure [628ea66].
• Note that a "DEPRECATED_608_TELETEXT" message will now appear in logs. Support for CEA-608 teletext captions is to be removed. The log entries will allow users to check whether they would be affected. Refs #10786 [7b1aef8].
