Dear VideoLAN users,
The VideoLAN team is happy to announce the first beta version of VLC

too little)
Highlights from improvements include:

- drag and drop in playlist
* wxWidgets interface (default Windows / Linux interface):
- renamed from wxWindows
- VLC update checker (?)
* Skins interface:
- Partial support for tree playlist
* HTTP interface:
- CGI handling, you can now use external programs from VLC's web
server
(like PHP for instance)
- Much richer controls
* Linux binary codecs loader. Now able to read WMV3 under Linux.
* UPnP service discovery
* Bonjour (Apple zeroconf protocol) service discovery
* Shoutcast output module to forward streams to icecast servers
* Internal strings handling is now UTF-8 based
