from the announcement:
Notable changes include improved reliability for MKV file playback, fixed
MPEG2 audio and video encoding, pulseaudio synchronization, Mac OS
interface, and other fixes. It also resolves potential security issues in
HTML subtitle parser, freetype renderer, AIFF demuxer and SWF demuxer.
pkgsrc change: build upnp plugin -- it doesn't show any files for
me, but since upnp isn't an exact science others might have more luck
changes (from the anouncement):
VideoLAN and the VLC development team present the fifth version
of "Twoflower", a major update that fixes a lot of regressions, issues
and security issues in this branch.
It introduces Opus support, improves Youtube, Vimeo streams
and Blu-Ray dics support. It also fixes many issues in playback, notably
on Ogg and MKV playback and audio device selections and a hundred of
other bugs.
pkgsrc note: opus and bluray are not supported yet
There are at least two packages ("graphics/cairo" and "x11/xlsclients")
which require this. And we definitely want to avoid the situation where
both the based and "pkgsrc" version get used at the same time.
Bump all the packages which use the "x11/libxcb" package except the two
which already require version 1.6. For those package remove the manually
set minimum required version.
Change discussed with Thomas Klausner in private e-mail.
