VLC media player 0.9.9a for Mac OS X
2009-04-05
This update is Mac OS X only. It fixes VLC's behaviour on PowerPC-based Macs and includes updated libraries for all Mac OS X platforms.
In order to take full advantage of VLC 0.9.9's features, including native Real Video playback, we recommend all Mac users to update to this new release.
Due to a lack of active Mac OS X developers, these issues remained unnoticed for the last release. We are sorry for the noise and are looking for enthusiastic Mac developers to help and support us.
VLC media player 0.9.9
2009-04-02
The VideoLAN team is very pleased to announce the release of VLC media player 0.9.9.
This is a bugfix release on the 0.9 branch of VLC. Notables bugfixes are:
- fullscreen behaviour on Windows with multiple screens,
- workaround bug with libxml2 >=2.7.3,
- video performance on Intel-based Macs,
- various decoders updates on Windows.
An experimental native decoder for Real Video 3.0 & 4.0 using FFmpeg has been added and many fixes happened in our Real Media demuxer.
This should improve Real Media Files support on all platforms.
A New Logo for a Brighter Future
2009-04-01
After years of faithful service, we've decided to retire our old logo, the famous cone. It served its purpose, but as VLC 1.0.0 is approaching, we are dropping the passive cone and upgrading to some heavy machinery.
The whole team would like to welcome the new VLC logo: Bulldozer! Get ready for some serious earth shattering on the open source multimedia world!
VLC 1.0.0 is warming up... maybe it's not going to be fast but it will wreck everything in its path.
Note: Look at the date...
