Fwd: VLC 0.2.92-pre1

[Christophe Massiot]

Hello,

Enclosed is a mail I posted on Friday to vlc-devel -- I thought 
people on vlc might be interested too. BTW, binary builds are now 
available for Win32, BeOS and MacOS X.

>Dear friends,
>
>We have seeded the first pre-release for VLC 0.2.92. You are invited to
>test it and report bugs. You can download it at :
>   ftp://ftp.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/0.2.92
>
>Binary builds for win32, BeOS and MacOS X (configured with --enable-debug)
>are welcome and can be uploaded to our incoming/ directory. Major features
>for this release are :
>  * fastmemcpy
>  * libmad
>  * udpstream: syntax instead of ts: syntax (udpstream: is now enough in
>most cases)
>  * decoders are now modules (plug-ins or built-ins)
>  * raw device support for DVDs (dvd:<device>@<raw device>)
>  * aRts audio output
>
>And many bug fixes.
>
>The purpose of this pre-release is for bug-hunting ; do not use it for
>production (you've been warned !). We will only accept bug reports
>including full -vvvvv output (with VLC configured with --enable-debug),
>and gdb back trace of all threads, if applicable. Thanks.
>
>For developers, a new branch has been created, v0_2_92_branch, in which
>bug fixes (and bug fixes ONLY) can be checked in. The main trunk can
>still welcome experimental patches.
>
>The bug hunting period will last one week. Thereafter, 0.2.92 will go
>final, or a new pre-release (pre-2) will be seeded.
>
>Thank you for your time and patience.
