<div dir="ltr">Dotan,<br><br>No doubt this is because VLC is currently in transition.<br>Rolling out a release takes time, and, even though on the tree, 0.9.0 has been released, that does not mean that binary packages have been rolled for all platforms, nor has all testing for all platforms has taken place.<br>
<br>I think Reimi is a little perturbed because there is always a plethora of people that come out of the woodwork complaining that there are no binary packages for their distribution, etc, but hardly ever are there people to come and help out to make that happen.<br>

</div>Thanks, Rémi. If 0.8.6 is outdated and has security issues (as<br>
mentioned at the beginning of this thread), then why does the VLC<br>
website recommend it to be installed? If one browses to <a href="http://videolan.org" target="_blank">videolan.org</a><br>
-> Download -> Ubuntu, he then gets instructions for installing 0.8.6<br>
with no mention of 0.9.x branch. Furthermore, lower on the page there<br>
is warnings about _older_ versions, implying that the current version<br>
is safe.<br>
