On the road to VLC 1.1.0: introduction

13 March 2010

VLC 1.0.0

The 1.0.0 version of VLC has been very popular, partly due to its stability (compared to 0.9.x) and due to its constant improvements ( revisions were 1.0.1, 1.0.2, 1.0.3, 1.0.4, 1.0.5 and soon 1.0.6).

VLC 1.0.0 was out in last July, 8 month ago. We need to move on.

    Hello JB,

    will trickmode VOD be supported in VLC 1.1?
    I’m especially interested in compatibility with Kasenna/Espial MediaBase.

    Thanks,

    Georges
