+ <br><span class="poster">posted by the release team</span>
+</h2>
+
+<p>
+The patent Sword of Damocles nonwithstanding, MPlayer is still alive and the
+time is ripe for another release. Do you want to see more releases in the
+future? <b>Please</b> join us in our fight against the EU patent directive.
+The battle is not over and we might prevail if <b>you</b> help as well.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+First off, we have uncovered some new security bugs in the
+<a href="#vuln11">MMST</a> and <a href="#vuln10">RTSP</a>
+streaming code so we urge you to upgrade in any case.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+We are trying to release a little more often so the list of changes is not as
+huge as for pre6, but still formidable. Notable improvements have been made to
+MEncoder this time around. It can now output MPEG files that you can use to
+create (S)VCDs and DVDs. Support for even more container formats through
+libavformat has been added experimentally and you can encode multiple files
+at once. If you have not used MEncoder before, now would be a good time
+since we expanded and improved its documentation considerably.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+We have added more codecs to the feature list, some native - most notable
+should be ALAC (Apple Lossless Audio Codec) - and some with the help
+of binary codecs - notable here are TwinVQ (VQF) and VMware video.
+Furthermore we have imported the Tremor Ogg/Vorbis decoder into MPlayer so
+Ogg files and Vorbis audio now work without the need for external libraries.
+MPlayer should now play more files than ever as with any new release.
+To get the most out of it, you should also install the latest
+<a href="dload.html#codecs">codec packages</a>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Snow, the next-generation wavelet-based video codec has seen some improvement
+and considerable speedup, plus there is a bit of documentation for it now.
+Try it out and play with it, just remember it's <b>experimental</b> and what
+you encode today may well not be playable tomorrow.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+A lot of internal cleanup was done to the audio layer. A directly visible
+result is the removal of the old audio plugins that were long deprecated by
+audio filters.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Last but not least, we made bug fixes everywhere, so MPlayer should work with
+fewer hiccups than ever.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+And now enjoy those movies ...
