This eleventh release of the "The luggage" branch brings, as usual, security fixes and minor to small features improvements. The most notable ones are: - Update of libmodplug in binaries to fix multiple security issues - Fix an integer overflow XSPF playlist demultiplexer - Rewrite of the PulseAudio output on Linux/BSD - Removal of FontCache building in Freetype module on Win32 - Many OS X interface and hotkey fixes - Misc fixes and codec updates - Update of translations Source and Binary can be found on our main ftp or on the sourceforge mirroring system. Please note that the only official website of VLC can be found at: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ More information about the changes can be found at: http://www.videolan.org/developers/vlc-branch/NEWS With my best regards, </pre> Jean-Baptiste Kempf 2011-06-06T10:32:31 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.videolan.announce/154 <pre>Hello all, This is a long overdue update on the state of the two VLC plugins for web browsers, i.e. the ActiveX plugin for Microsoft Internet Explorer, and the Mozilla plugin for just about every other browser. Effective today, the web plugins will be separated from the VLC media player. This is mostly an organizational change for us developers and should not directly affect our end-users. There are several motivations behind this: ❶ Prove the plugins are really independent from the stand-alone player. The web plugins will be used as a testbed to ensure the quality of "LibVLC". LibVLC is our Software Development Kit; it enables third party computer programs to leverage the power of the VLC media player engine. ❷ Let the web plugins development follow its own pace and decouple it from the VLC media player development cycle. This will enable the VideoLAN project to deliver innovations and important improvements to its flagship VLC media player to end users faster than previously. Similarly, en</pre> Rémi Denis-Courmont 2010-10-11T17:47:07 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.videolan.announce/152 <pre>Dear users, developers and community, VideoLAN and the VLC development team are very glad to announce the new version of VLC. This version, 1.1.1, is a bugfix version, released to fix shortcomings of the VLC 1.1.0 version. VLC 1.1.0 was released one month ago and was downloaded more than 17 million times. Thanks for the support. This version introduces many fixes and improvements: - Many fixes on decoders and demuxers, especially for MKV, Avformat and Avcodec modules - ATI GPU decoding should now work on Windows with drivers Catalyst 10.7 - Interfaces fixes and improvements - libVLC was extended with new functions, especially to control the adjust filter - Updated translations - Various fixes against crashes on MacOS and Windows port and many other things. You can download and get more details on: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/releases/1.1.1.html We hope you will like it. </pre> Jean-Baptiste Kempf 2010-07-21T21:50:51 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.videolan.announce/151 <pre>Hello, The official release of VLC media player and LibVLC version 1.1.0 is coming to a close. The badly stretched VLC development team is not currently able to maintain more than two development branches at a time. The team has been focusing on the VLC 1.2 future series and the VLC 1.1 stable series. As a consequence, source code for VLC 1.0 is not officially unmaintained anymore. There will be no further security or major bug fixes. The last version was 1.0.6 and will be marked formally obsolete if/when a major issue is discovered. I would also like to remind you that: - the LibVLC API is known to be broken in all 1.0.x releases, - that the Mozilla plugin is broken on X11 platforms in release 1.0.6, and - that binary packages (Windows, MacOS) have already been discontinued. If you need any of these, please update to VLC 1.1.0-RC3 already, or 1.1.0 at the earliest. N.B.: VLC 1.0.5, 0.9.10, 0.8.6i and older versions exhibit known published security issues. Update urgently if you have not already</pre> Rémi Denis-Courmont 2010-06-18T02:04:42 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.videolan.announce/148 <pre> Dear subscribers, The VLC development team is proud to introduce a new version of its 'Goldeneye' branch.
