It is one of the largest release we've ever done. Notably, it: - activates hardware decoding on all platforms, of H.264 & H.265, 8 & 10bits, allowing 4K60 or even 8K decoding with little CPU consumption, - merges all the code from the mobile ports into the same codebase with common numbering and releases, - supports 360 video and 3D audio, and prepares for VR content, - supports direct HDR and HDR tone-mapping, - updates the audio passthrough for HD Audio codecs, - allows browsing of local network drives like SMB, FTP, SFTP, NFS... - stores the passwords securely, - brings a new subtitle rendering engine, supporting ComplexTextLayout and font fallback to support multiple languages and fonts, - supports ChromeCast with the new renderer framework, - adds support for numerous new formats and codecs, including WebVTT, AV1, TTML, HQX, 708, Cineform, and many more, - improves Bluray support with Java menus, aka BD-J, - updates the macOS interface with major cleaning and improvements, - support HiDPI UI on Windows, with the switch to Qt5, - prepares the experimental support for Wayland on Linux, and switches to OpenGL by default on Linux. + Security fixes included: * Fix a buffer overflow in the MKV demuxer (CVE-2019-14970) * Fix a read buffer overflow in the avcodec decoder (CVE-2019-13962) * Fix a read buffer overflow in the FAAD decoder * Fix a read buffer overflow in the OGG demuxer (CVE-2019-14437, CVE-2019-14438) * Fix a read buffer overflow in the ASF demuxer (CVE-2019-14776) * Fix a use after free in the MKV demuxer (CVE-2019-14777, CVE-2019-14778) * Fix a use after free in the ASF demuxer (CVE-2019-14533) * Fix a couple of integer underflows in the MP4 demuxer (CVE-2019-13602) * Fix a null dereference in the dvdnav demuxer * Fix a null dereference in the ASF demuxer (CVE-2019-14534) * Fix a null dereference in the AVI demuxer * Fix a division by zero in the CAF demuxer (CVE-2019-14498) * Fix a division by zero in the ASF demuxer (CVE-2019-14535) - Disbale mod-plug for the time being: libmodplug 0.8.9 is not yet available. - Disable SDL_image (SDL 1.2) based codec. It is only a wrapper around some image loading libraries (libpng, libjpeg, ...) which are either wrapped by vlc itself (libpng_plugin.so) or via libavcodec (libavcodec_plugin.so). This update was imported from the openSUSE:Leap:15.1:Update update project.
