VLC 2.0.2 Player Out Now

VLC 2.02 player is available for download on videolan.org.

It includes the following security content:

Fixed Ogg Heap buffer overflow
Updated taglib (CVE-2012-2396)

VLC 2.0.2 adds further refinements to the new Mac interface. The player's developers improved the video playback experience by enhancing the crop features and restoring the highly desired "go automatically to fullscreen" feature. Additionally, the aspect ratio is respected like in the 1.1.x releases. The Retina Display (HiDPI) on the new MacBook Pro is natively supported, too.

Furthermore, you can drag & drop items between the playlist, services and media library. Growl 1.3 is supported for notifications as well (disabled by default). Playing a video in a window without any further UI elements is supported again, too.

Finally, the player's developers removed the font cache. VLC for Mac will never ask you to wait for it, but it will still find all your fonts.

This update also includes video output improvements for a vast number of PowerPC-based Macs equipped with an ATI Radeon 7500, an ATI Radeon 9200 or a NVIDIA GeForceFX 5200 Ultra as well as Intel-based Macs with an Intel GMA 950.

Here's the full list of changes:

Enabled drag and drop of playlist items between the temporary playlist and the persistent media library
Various video output improvements, notably for crop, zoom, osd and menu support
Enabled import of playlist items taken from the service discovery modules to the media library or the temporary playlist
Added media key support for keyboards by other manufacturers than Apple. This fix was facilitated through a hardware donation by ZF Friedrichshafen AG manufacturing keyboards under the brand "Cherry".
Added HiDPI / Retina Display save UI artwork
Restored the preferences' fullscreen options, which allows the user to start videos directly in fullscreen mode
Keep Aspect Ratio when resizing is back
Added controls to manipulate the Subtitles Duration to the Track Synchronization panel
Hidden items in the sidebar are being retained for the next launch now
Fixed crash when trying to open an Audio CD by drag & drop

Improved OSD rendering in fullscreen mode
Improved fullscreen behavior when using a smartphone remote based upon VLC's http interface

Since running the Mac OS X interface as an Extra Interface or Control Interface can lead to undefined results, the respective options will be automatically reset on the first launch, if needed.
- This fixes issues with unresponsive playback controls and crashes on quit.
Updated Growl plugin supporting Growl 1.3.
Improved reliablity in detecting VIDEO_TS folders when opened through the "Open Disc" panel.
Re-implemented the "Window Decorations" option, which, if disabled, hides all the UI elements from the video output window to give you the cleanest experience possible.
Improved the window title behavior when using the dark interface mode. It correctly responds to right and double-click events now.
Miscellaneous minor interface improvements
