VLC 0.8.6 Released

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the plays-almost-anything dept.

h2g2bob writes "VideoLAN yesterday released a new version of VLC media player. A shout out goes to ffmpeg for many of the codec improvements." From the blurb: "Building on feedback from the 29 million downloads of VLC media player 0.8.5, we bring you version 0.8.6 with many bugfixes, as well as a couple of new features we think you will truly enjoy. Most prominent are probably Windows Media Video 9 and Flash Video. Other important changes are improved H.264 decoding, better Windows Unicode support, a Fullscreen controller, and Apple Remote support for Mac OS X."

    Ok, it is time that you all stop covering software releases. You /.'d a college; now cut it out. My porn is of a greater urgency than your reporting.

    Because like oil, the whales, and oxygen, version numbers are a non-renewable resource!

    We all know slashdotters rarely if ever get a chance to embed a trojan...

    I appologize in advance...

    I'd go with the mirror from India. The trojan has probably slipped off the executable, and the executable is going to be smaller to boot!

    I hate myself...
