At the moment, our Windows-port is sorely missing some much needed love from a true Windows developer. We are putting out a call for NEW Windows developers. This release brings Windows users all the 0.9.3 enhancements and fixes (please see our call for Windows developers below) as well as fixing a few more bugs for the other platforms.īinary packages for Mac OS X and Windows, as well as source code tarballs are available for download. We present you with VLC media player 0.9.4, the latest increment of our 0.9 series. We'd like to thank all our contributors, testers and users around the world for their support and help making this release possible. The documentation (we need help keeping it up to date!).Help is available, as usual, in many places: Windows binary release is indefinitely postponed pending volunteers taking over the Windows port. We utmostly recommend all users upgrade to this new version.īinary packages for Mac OS X and source code tarballs are available for download. This release also improves media keys support under Windows, file access under all OSes, Qt4 interface usability, and fixes a few extra bugs. Also, libpng was updated in Windows and MacOS builds to address a separate security issue (CVE-2008-3964). Further technical details are available in our advisory (CVE-2008-4654, CVE-2008-4686). VLC media player 0.9.4 and earlier versions suffer from a security vulnerability in TiVo demuxer. The VideoLAN team is pleased to announce the release of VLC media player 0.9.5. We encourage people to test and report regressions that could have crept in this release. It introduces many new codecs, various playback core improvements (frame-by-frame, live-recording, instant pausing, etc.), interface improvements, new features and many bugfixes. VLC 1.0.0-rc1, codename Goldeneye, is a test release of the 1.0.0 version of VLC. If you have not already upgraded to VLC version 0.9.5, please do so urgently (exploits for vulnerabilities found in older versions are widely available as of today). The VideoLAN team will continue to provide major or security-related bug fixes for the VLC media player 0.9-bugfix branch. Binary releases of the 0.8.6-bugfix branch had already stopped as of July 2008. Effective immediately, there will be no more security and critical fixes for VLC 0.8.6.
As a consequence, it has not been possible to put sufficient efforts to ensure adequate continued quality of the 0.8.6-bugfix branch. After several several call for help, it is apparent that there is no interest in the community to maintain the 0.8.6 branch of the VLC media player. The VideoLAN team ceases all form of support for VLC media player 0.8.6-bugfix tree.
