VLC 2.02 player is available for download on videolan.org.
It includes the following security content:
- Fixed Ogg Heap buffer overflow
- Updated taglib (CVE-2012-2396)
VLC 2.0.2 adds further refinements to the new Mac
interface. The player's developers
improved the video playback experience by enhancing the
crop features
and restoring the highly desired "go automatically to
fullscreen"
feature. Additionally, the aspect ratio is respected
like in the 1.1.x
releases. The Retina Display (HiDPI) on the new MacBook
Pro is natively
supported, too.
Furthermore, you can drag & drop items between the
playlist,
services and media library. Growl 1.3 is supported for
notifications as
well (disabled by default). Playing a video in a window
without any
further UI elements is supported again, too.
Finally, the player's developers removed the font
cache. VLC for Mac will never ask you to wait for it, but
it will still find all your fonts.
This update also includes video output improvements
for a vast number
of PowerPC-based Macs equipped with an ATI Radeon 7500,
an
ATI Radeon 9200 or a NVIDIA GeForceFX 5200 Ultra as
well as Intel-based Macs with an Intel GMA 950.
Here's the full list of changes:
- Enabled drag and drop of playlist items between the
temporary playlist and the persistent media library
- Various video output improvements, notably for
crop, zoom, osd and menu support
- Enabled import of playlist items taken from the
service discovery modules to the media library or the
temporary playlist
- Added media key support for keyboards by other
manufacturers than Apple. This fix was facilitated through
a hardware donation by ZF Friedrichshafen
AG manufacturing keyboards under the brand "Cherry".
- Added HiDPI / Retina Display save UI artwork
- Restored the preferences' fullscreen options, which
allows the user to start videos directly in fullscreen
mode
- Keep Aspect Ratio when resizing is back
- Added controls to manipulate the Subtitles Duration
to the Track Synchronization panel
- Hidden items in the sidebar are being retained for
the next launch now
- Fixed crash when trying to open an Audio CD by drag
& drop
- Improve reliability when opening DVDs or BDs by
drag & drop
- Fixed a crash when attaching harddrives with
multiple partitions while VLC is running
- Improved OSD rendering in fullscreen mode
- Improved fullscreen behavior when using a
smartphone remote based upon VLC's http interface
- The selected audio device is retained throughout
multiple VLC sessions now
- Since running the Mac OS X interface as an Extra
Interface or
Control Interface can lead to undefined results, the
respective
options will be automatically reset on the first
launch, if needed.
- This fixes issues with unresponsive playback
controls and crashes on quit.
- Updated Growl plugin supporting Growl 1.3.
- Improved reliablity in detecting VIDEO_TS folders
when opened through the "Open Disc" panel.
- Re-implemented the "Window Decorations" option,
which, if disabled,
hides all the UI elements from the video output
window to give you the
cleanest experience possible.
- Improved the window title behavior when using the
dark interface
mode. It correctly responds to right and double-click
events now.
- Miscellaneous minor interface improvements
