Bugfix Release: 0.8.6c

19 June 2007

Changes

This is not a big release, neither a big annoucement.

However, for most Vista users, the problems are solved. So if you are using this OS, please upgrade.

But, the important information is about security issues that need to be solved. Ogg, Vorbis, theora comments are dangerous. CDDA and SAP too.

Summary

Unless you have a strong reason not to upgrade, do it.

Release process

I was not happy with the release process. Some people on the forum took the FTP exe and disclaimed it as official everywhere before the release. This is not so bad, except when they advertise a broken binary.

We work for everyone best pleasure. If we don’t release even if some binaries are done, this is always for a good reason.

The rule is easy: DON’T DOWNLOAD ANY UNSIGNED UN-MD5 BINARY

Mirrors

However, if sometimes you found some bonaries on our FTP that are not yet a released version, it is because we are waiting for our official mirrors to take the good files.

In fact, many of the unofficial mirrors are linking to the direct files or caching the exe and we can’t count the download numbers… :’( And many serve the wrong files.

HAPPY Release…

…to everyone
