4 This release makes clive more simple, modular and flexible. Instead of re-
5 inventing the wheel over and over again, we now leave much of the heavy-
6 lifting for other tools to do. In a sense, clive is now a glorified wrapper
7 script with a few fancy tricks in the sleeve.
9 * single-script vs. multiple-clive-modules
10 - Easier deployment and updating
12 * clive no longer, directly, fetches and parses video details
13 - quvi(1) <http://quvi.googlecode.com/> does this for us now
15 * clive no longer downloads the videos
16 - This is left for an external command to do (e.g. curl or wget)
18 * Some of the more esoteric features were discarded
19 - See the full list below
23 * Additional bonus: faster response time
27 * If you installed clive 2.3 beta 1, you can remove WWW::Quvi from
28 your system, we no longer use it
37 * --cache-*, rendered largely obsolete due to one-time-use-URLs
39 * --emit-csv, use quvi(1) instead, it supports JSON, XML, etc.
40 * --stream-*, use quvi(1) instead, it has --exec (as of 0.2.7)
41 * --cclass, replaced by --regexp
42 * --exec-run, use --exec
43 * --hosts, run quvi --support"
44 * --connect-timeout-socks
53 Open a ticket if you feel different.
56 * --no-extract -> --no-download
65 * --format arg value is no longer checked
66 * --format no longer supports the arcane IDs (e.g. 'mp4')
68 See Makefile.PL for the updated prerequisites.
75 * "flv" is now called "default"
79 * Add HD 1080p support
81 * Add support for the quvi supported Youtube IDs (e.g. sd_270p).
82 The old (and vague) IDs (e.g. mp4 or hd) are still supported
83 but should be considered _deprecated_.
88 cctv support was fixed. These videos appear to come in (at least) two
89 flavors now: multi-segment and single-segment. The issue has been

93 It was decided, mainly due to overall laziness, that multi-segment
94 video links are to be dumped to the terminal without any further
95 fiddling with them. The reasons have also been covered in the above
