Dear VideoLAN users, From the feedbacks we have had so far on the latest version of VLC media player, 0.8.6a, we are proud to introduce a new bugfix release, namely 0.8.6b, aimed at fixing some annoying bugs. Important bugs fixed: ===================== * Some out-of-bound read in demuxers and crashes (incl. CVE-2007-0256) * Mac OS X Interface crashes, especially those related to fullscreen * VP31 decoding regresssion on Windows platforms * Correction of the behaviour for feeding streams to icecast or shoutcast * Web Browser plugins, rectified incorrect behaviours and improved usability * Direct3D Video Output modifications for Vista compatibility ( some Nvidia and Intel drivers are still problematic ) New Decoders: ============= * Enhanced Flash Video support incl. VP61 and VP60 * Teletext subtitles (telx) support Mac OS X Interface & Port: ========================== * Diverse usability improvements * New wizard option to include subtitles * Screensaver/automatic sleep mode is enabled when a video is paused * Improved Delete-Preferences-Script For those who are worried, a new version of VLC media player, that should be 0.9.0, will come with a lot of new features ( new Interface, new playlist, new encoders, new filters, etc... ), and should be ready before the summer.
