  The VideoLAN team is happy to announce version 0.4.6 "hooray for
boobies" of the VideoLAN Client, alias VLC, a multimedia player for
MPEG, DVD, VCD and DivX for most operating systems and version 1.2.4 of
libdvdcss, a portable DVD access library.

   VLC 0.4.6 is a maintenance release. The most important
fixes include:

  - selection of a52dec as the default decoder for AC3 sound
    for a better quality,
  - possibility for Windows NT/2000/XP users to read DVDs without
    administrator privileges,
  - fix for a hangup in the esd plugin,
  - fixes for a few segfaults.

   The full ChangeLog is at : http://www.videolan.org/vlc/changelog.html
