Version name

Postby BillDoor » 10 Mar 2017 19:33

I've just downloaded the latest version (wayyyy late, I know, don't use VLC often) and was staggered to see the version name, WeatherWax.

Now unless I'm missing something, that's a direct reference to Terry Pratchett and Discworld.

Is that true?

If so, the whole thing just went to the top of the scale of awesome. :)

VLC release names were originally (James Bond) Goldeneye characters. But nowadays Discworld characters are used instead.
