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
You can download VLC from here:

vlc/
Packages are already available for Windows, Mac OS X and
OpenSuSE.
Other binary packages (Debian Packages, Fedora Core RPM,
BeOS...)
should follow soon. Remember to reset your preferences if
you experience
problems after upgrading from a previous version.
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.
