[MAJ] Winamp sort en version 5.666 et tirera sa révérence le 20 décembre prochain…

MAJ 25/11/2013 : Nouvelle version disponible, pas de changement sur les changelogs...

Tout d'abord développé par la société Nullsoft, Winamp naquit en tant que lecteur de musique multi-formats avant d'ajouter la vidéo à ses cordes. Après une version 2.x très populaire, une version 3.x quelque peu ratée et très lourde. La version définitive 5.x réunit la simplicité de la 2.x en y mêlant les possibilités de personnalisation de la 3.x, le tout en ajoutant des services externes et des fonctions de gravure et d'encodage. Entretemps, AOL rachète le lecteur et commence à le délaisser petit à petit... avant de lui donner définitivement le coup de grâce le 20 décembre 2013.

Ainsi, les développeurs nous offrent la der des ders des versions du lecteur multimédia, la version 5.66, téléchargeable pendant 1 mois avant la fermeture du site. Côté nouveautés... des corrections du bugs dont voici la liste complète :
