Some people have experienced segmentation faults using xine-lib 1-rc3,
especially with front ends that were compiled against an older version of
xine-lib.
Another important bug made xine hang quite frequently with unfair pthread
implementations (such as NPTL in Linux Kernel 2.6).
This version fixes all such bugs, replacing the 1-rc3 release.
Some minor features have been added, too. So even if xine didn't hang for
you after a kernel upgrade or segfault under certain conditions, you might
consider an upgrade. As usual, you can download from http://xinehq.de/index.php/releases
The MD5 sum of this release is:
