This week in #FDroid (TWIF):
Some of the apps in our repo were affected by vulnerabilities back in October. Most have been updated, but some not. We have a list, where you can check if your apps are still affected.
Also:
- Celestia, a 3D interactive planetarium was added
- Hypatia got a new scanning feature
- wallabag was updated again
@fdroidorg any idea, how to continue with VLC ( @videolan )?
Just uninstall it and look for an alternative? Or are there other solutions?
@x_tof @fdroidorg what is wrong with VLC in this regard? can we help?
@videolan @fdroidorg as far as I understand, you don't fix the security issue mentioned in this issue:

@x_tof @fdroidorg indeed, we didn't ship an update yet. However, the libvpx _encoder_ is not exposed in VLC-Android (meaning that there is no way for you or a malicious party to use it). We will discuss that during our stand-up tomorrow. Thanks for the note!
