So, we are working quite actively on VLC 1.2. Many improvements were merged into VLC 1.2, notably for DVD and Blu-Ray playback.
Therefore, there were a few releases of libraries used by VLC, lately.
libbluray 0.2.1
A contrario of this weird number, this is actually the first release of libbluray that is usable.
libbluray is an open-source library designed for Blu-Ray Discs playback for media players, like VLC, xine or MPlayer.
It could be seen as the equivalent to libdvdnav, but for Blu-Ray Discs.
libaacs 0.3.0
In spite of this weird number too, this is actually the first release of libaacs.
libaacs is an open-source library implementing the AACS specification, for all systems, for interoperability.
True, stand-alone, it is of very little use :D
libdvdcss 1.2.11
I am, de facto, the new maintainer of libdvdcss. Congratz to me!
Therefore, I’ve done a release: 1.2.11.
This is just a boring release, just to incorporate patches and small maintenance, but shows that the project is still alive.
Other libraries
I just wanted to mention that:
- libdvdnav 4.2.0
- libdvdread 4.2.0
- libdvbpsi 0.2.2 (not disc related)
were released too, in the last weeks.
Those projects are still alive and maintained. Cool.
