Other improvements include new de-interlacing filters, fixes for the Qt4 interface – including fixes for the playlist and stream output panels, several updated translations and WMA Professional codec support on Windows.

More details about the release can be found in the change log. VLC 1.0.3 is available to download for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Existing users can use the built-in "Check for Updates" feature to upgrade to the latest release. VLC is released under version two of the GNU General Public License (GPLv2).
