Currently 0.8.6a (0.8.6-r1 is the ebuild name) is marked stable for your arch, 0.8.6b is a bugfix release. Official changelog : Changes between 0.8.6a and 0.8.6b: ----------------------------------------------------------- Various bugfixes, notably: * Out-of-bound read in demuxers * Demuxers crashes (incl. CVE-2007-0256) * Mac OS X Interface crashes * VP31 decoding on Windows platforms * Direct3D Video Output modifications for Vista compatibility * Correct behaviour for feeding streams to Icecast or Shoutcast servers Decoders: * Enhanced Flash Video support incl. VP61 and VP60 * Teletext subtitles (telx) support Webbrowser plugins: * Rectified behaviour and improved usability Mac OS X Interface & Port: * Diverse usability improvements * New wizard option to embed subtitles * Screensaver/automatic sleep mode is enabled when a video is paused * Improved Delete-Preferences-Script Our changelog : - Support for x264 encoding - Support for jack output - dc1394 support - libdca can be used as dts decoder Important bug fixed upstream : fullscreen on gnome/kde now works properly on amd64 (and probably on any 64 bits arch) vlc has still open bugs, but no regression from 0.8.6a afaik, most of them are feature requests, some I left open to keep track but that I could mark as upstream, and the relinking bug where I blame libtool is not (or shouldnt be) a problem when upgrading from 0.8.6a to 0.8.6b. Thanks !
