MPlayer 0.90 released; MPlayer Maintainer Leaves

Posted by timothy on from the plays-what-you-throw-at-it dept.

Viqsi writes "459 days after the previous stable release, the MPlayer folks have finally released stable version 0.90. With this done, A'rpi (th head maintainer) is leaving the project, citing too-much-free-time-forever-lost issues, and the team is looking closely at revising the way the project is managed as a result. Here's hoping some improvements come out of this."

    MPlayer is very promising though controverse project. Lets see what it all boils down too after the reconstruction...I use it and like it.

    I suppose this is more stable than the previously stable version was before the previous stable verison before the......original stable version . I feel a bit wonky now ... having said that.

    The maintainer for the awesome Meterologist weather program for OS X has decided to stop maintaining the program for at least the next few months... There doesn't appear to be a "second in command", so it looks like this program is going to languish. The source is open. Any takers (I would, but I'm about to enter grad school)?
