Release VLC 0.8.6b media player
2007-04-19
From the feedback 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. But with a few improvements too.
It includes a new teletext subtitles decoder, new flash video decoders and Mac OS X interface improvements. It fixes many crashes, especially during fullscreen on Mac OS X, on Vista and the browser plugin.
Have a look here for the full list of changes.
We hope you will enjoy that new version.

The official applications, selected by VideoLAN and Google, are on Google Summer of Code Website. We have been given 7 slots for 46 applications. The choice was very hard, since many students submitted very high quality propositions. We thanks every student, accepted or not, for their application. We wish good luck to all our selected students.
