VLC Media Player 2.1.0 Pre3 is now available for download, giving users the chance to have a look at the feature lineup of the next stable release a bit early.

Since it’s just a testing version of the application, the new iteration comes with bug fixes and performance improvements, so make sure you deploy this new release if you’ve already installed one of the previous builds.

No details have been provided, but expect Pre3 to address bugs reported by users, while also bringing code optimizations on various platforms.

As far as Windows is concerned, VLC Media Player 2.1.0 Pre3 seems to be running just fine on all versions out there, including the aging XP and the modern Windows 8. Both 32- and 64-bit Windows flavors should work flawlessly.
