New release ?

[Jauder Ho]

I asked this a while ago but never got a reply back. With older versions
of vlc, by hitting "i" I can see the framerate. However, on the HEAD of
CVS, this functionality appears to have been removed. It would be useful
to be able to tell what the framerate is. I have been testing some patches
in Linux that speed up performance significantly (rmap12f+K3 sched+ide)
