Dear VideoLAN users,

We present you with VLC media player 0.9.4, the latest increment of our 0.9 series. This release brings Windows users all the 0.9.3 enhancements and fixes (please see our call for Windows developers below) as well as fixing a few more bugs for the other platforms. 

== 0.9.4 improvements ==
Various bugfixes:
 * Crashes fixed in ogg, vobsub, dvdread
 * Fixes several memory leaks.

Mac OS X port:
 * Apple machines without Quartz Extreme are no longer supported (use 0.9.2 or earlier )
 * Fixed a crash with deletion of old preferences.
 * Fixed targetname for downloaded updates

Windows port:
 * Stability fix for the video output.

The complete release notes for this version can be read at <http://www.videolan.org/developers/vlc/NEWS>.
Binary packages for Mac OS X and Windows and the source code tarballs are available for download at http://www.videolan.org/vlc/.

Help is available, as usual, in many places:
 * The documentation (we need help keeping it up to date!):
   http://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation:Documentation/
 * The forum: http://forum.videolan.org
 * Mailing lists: http://www.videolan.org/support/lists.html
 * IRC: #videolan on Freenode

We'd like to thank all our contributors, testers and users around the world for their support and help making this release possible. Also a big thanks to all Mac OS X users who submitted their crashlogs. These crashlogs have proven to be invaluable for this bugfix release.

== WANTED: Windows developers ==
We are putting out a call for NEW Windows developers. At the moment, our Windows-port is sorely missing some much needed love from a true Windows developer. Our team has been without a Windows developer for several months now, which is blocking us from supporting our largest usergroup in the manner we want to. We are therefore looking for developers to help our team in the areas of debugging crashes, Direct X, A/V capturing, ActiveX and Windows integration, so we can hopefully resume supporting our largest group of users in the best possible way. If we are unable to find new developers, new versions of VLC media player for Windows might become less frequent and severely out of sync with the Linux and Mac OS X versions.

So, no donations for work on the Windows-port and no "opportunities"-emails, for Windows we only require: Developers, Developers, Developers !!!!!

For the VideoLAN team,
