VLC development team just updated their versatile media player to version 1.1.12. It is not a major update, and it does not even ready for download just yet. Its purpose is to solve some security issues related to content streaming.A this time only the source is available, so you won’t be able to install it just yet, and there won’t be any notification update just yet.
The interface remains the same since the new version tackles content steaming security issues for HTTP and RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol) server components. Regular users are not affected in any way by this modification.
Minor improvements have been made, though, and they better the audio input on Mac OS. Regular folk running Windows may not benefit from any modification, unless they run PulseAudio sound server.
UPDATE: It looks like VLC will skip version 1.1.12 on Windows and users will be able to update to 1.1.13, when released.
