With faster decoding on multi-core, GPU, and mobile hardware and the ability to open more formats, notably professional, HD and 10bits codecs, 2.0 is a major upgrade for VLC. Twoflower has a new rendering pipeline for video, with higher quality subtitles, and new video filters to enhance your videos. It supports many new devices and BluRay Discs (experimental). Completely reworked Mac and Web interfaces and improvements in the other interfaces make VLC easier than ever to use. Twoflower fixes several hundreds of bugs, in more than 7000 commits from 160 volunteers.

It’s great when software is still around after almost 10 years. Soulseek has been one of my favourite p2p filesharing tools since the very beginning. The original client hasn’t been updated in a long time, but since the last couple of months Nir Arbel, the man behind Soulseek, is working on SoulseekQt, an updated version of this very cool program. It’s available for Windows, Mac and Linux. Check it out and don’t forget to share!
