End of support for VLC 0.8.6 series

The VideoLAN team ceases all form of support for VLC media player 0.8.6-bugfix tree. After several several call for help, it is apparent that there is no interest in the community to maintain the 0.8.6 branch of the VLC media player. As a consequence, it has not been possible to put sufficient efforts to ensure adequate continued quality of the 0.8.6-bugfix branch. Effective immediately, there will be no more security and critical fixes for VLC 0.8.6. Binary releases of the 0.8.6-bugfix branch had already stopped as of July 2008. The VideoLAN team will continue to provide major or security-related bug fixes for the VLC media player 0.9-bugfix branch. If you have not already upgraded to VLC version 0.9.5, please do so urgently (exploits for vulnerabilities found in older versions are widely available as of today).
