News & Updates
Next week, we will give two talks about VideoLAN and VLC media player at the 13° Fórum Internacional Software Livre in Porto Alegre, Brazil. This is the first time VideoLAN members attend a conference in South America. We are looking forward to it and hope to see you around.
VideoLAN and the VLC development are proud to present a minor update adding support for OS X Mountain Lion as well as improving VLC's overall stability on OS X. Additionally, this version includes updates for 18 translations and adds support for Uzbek and Marathi. For MS Windows, VLC 2.0.2 remains the latest release.
After more than 100 million downloads of VLC 2.0 versions, VideoLAN and the VLC development team present the third version of "Twoflower", a major update that fixes a lot of regressions in this branch.
It introduces an important number of features for the Mac OS X platform, notably interface improvements to be on-par with the classic VLC interface, better performance and Retina Display support. VLC 2.0.2 fixes the video playback on older devices both on MS Windows and Mac OS X, includes overall performance improvements and fixes for a couple of hundreds of bugs.
More info in the release notes.
The VideoLAN organization is taking part in the World IPv6 launch on June 6. All services including the website, the forums, the bugtracker and the git server are now accessible via IPv6.
We will presenting VLC and other VideoLAN projects at LinuxTag in Berlin this week (booth #167, hall 7.2a). Come around and have a look at our latest developments! Of course, we will also be present during LinuxNacht, in case that you prefer to share a beer with us.
