Public bug reported: [Impact]
VLC has received a bugfix update on the 3.0.x release path, which was recommended to us for additional stability in the Long Term Support release. [Test Case] Install vlc from bionic-proposed and test it for a decent amount of time. Play different video formats to catch any regressions, and use it as you normally would. [Regression Potential] The 3.0.x branch receives only bug fixes, which are cherry-picked from the master branch where the main development takes place. So, I think the regression potential is low. [Other Info] Here is the upstream Git repository: http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc/vlc-3.0.git;a=summary We released the previous VLC bugfix release for this branch into Bionic in late July, see bug 1774067 for details. This was successful, and no regressions have been reported.
