The VideoLAN Forums

https://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-android.html states 3.5.4 but then without blinking it immediately links to https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc- ... aster/NEWS which seems to indicate 3.5.7 is the newest.

Meanwhile, https://www.videolan.org/news.html lists 3.5.0 (from 2022) as the newest...

In Google Play Store itself it seems to be 3.5.7 (depending on your device).

It may help if the NEWS above had dates in it, which could then be crossed with the store's listing's date.

The current version is indeed 3.5.7. As stated in the changelog, this version has no feature or bug fixes and its sole purpose is to unlock our issues with the Play Store. We will push the 3.5.6 and 3.5.7 version on our website at one point, but we didn't have time for that.

About the news on https://www.videolan.org/news.html we typically update this only for major versions, that's why it seems outdated.

The NEWS has in fact dates if you look at it in our code repository: https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc- ... type=heads
But I agree, it's not optimal.
