| 19 | + Deprecate the current names of the RTSP "timeout", "stimeout", "user-agent" | |
| 20 | + options. Introduce "listen_timeout" as replacement for the current "timeout" | |
| 21 | + option, and "user_agent" as replacement for "user-agent". Once the deprecation | |
| 22 | + is over, the old "timeout" option will be removed, and "stimeout" will be | |
| 23 | + renamed to "stimeout" (the "timeout" option will essentially change semantics). | |
