Windows version confusion

It is not perfectly clear which version number is the most recent for Windows 64-bit. I am led to believe that 2.0.6 is X64 when I look here:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/vlc/files/2.0.6/win64/

However, it looks like 2.0.5 is the most current X64 version for Windows when I look here:

So which is it? :?: :?:

The last 64bits version is 2.0.6-win64:

They just forgot update the /last/ directory.

Hello, Jean-Baptiste.

Thanks for fixing this little problem. Now, where can I find the signing key file for that version in order to verify this file's signature? I did not see it listed in the directory with the other files too:

Did you try /videolan/keys/ ?

That was the ticket, sure enough! I owe you big time now, huh? :)

I have never understood why the various sites I visit always stuff the keys away in inconspicuous spots instead of making them obvious. They are rarely ever where they should be. C'est la vie. Thanks again, Jean-Baptiste.

Because we cannot put it in every VLC folder on the ftp.

I hate having my hand held, but I have to ask once more. Where should I find the key for the following signature since it seems to be a different one? :)

the key used to sign the first file was this:
gpg: key DA5131795788087D: "VideoLAN Release Signing Key (2009)"



the key used to sign the XPI was this:

gpg: Signature made 4/8/2013 16:30:51 Central Daylight Time
gpg: using DSA key 7180713BE58D1ADC
gpg: Can't check signature: No public key

Of course not. All 2.0.6 are signed with 2013 key.

I will have to tell my wife to cut back on the medication because it has a hallucinogenic effect on me. So sorry for the inconvenience. I have fixed the problem now. Thank you for the exceptional courtesy and patience, Jean-Baptiste.
