   VLC Media Player 2.2.8

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   VideoLAN released [1]VLC 2.2.7 in late November to fix a compatibility
   issue with macOS 10.13 High Sierra, and resolve a regression in ASS
   subtitle decoding. The open-source media player also fixed an AVI
   read/write overflow, resolved an issue with AAC 7.1 channel detection,
   and addressed a crash with the libavcodec module (VLC's built-in
   decoding engine).

   The update mechanism on macOS was also fixed in version 2.2.7, which
   may make auto-updating from older versions of VLC to version 2.2.8 fail
   ' requiring you to download the latest version from the VideoLAN Web
   site. (Free, 35.1 MB, [2]release notes)
