VideoLAN (VLC) 1.0.5 Changelog / Impressions

The VideoLAN devs have released another version of their downloadable freeware multimedia player, bringing it up to VLC 1.0.5.

Impressions and the changelog after the jump.

VideoLAN 1.0.5 produces minimal audio quality improvements over the previous versions though I've noticed that lower frequencies now have more force. The change is minimal, but it's there.

From the VLC site:

Changes between 1.0.4 and 1.0.5:
--------------------------------

Decoders:

* Fix potential crashes in SSA and svg decoders

Mac OS X Interface:
