[MPlayer-users] ANNOUNCE: 0.90-pre9 released!

[Henric Andersson]

Yaaay!

Huge thanks to the MPlayer team, fbdev finally works great when playing the
mpegs and avi's that, using the previous version, caused much headache!
(since the scale function didn't really work that well).

Again, big thanks to the whole team!  :-)
