So I started up VLC just now and was greeted with this update notification:

VLC media player 2.0.4

This is a major update that fixes a lot of regressions of the 2.0.x branch of VLC.

We are introducing an important number of fixes and improvements for all playback, notably for Blu-Ray, DVD, HLS, Ogg and MKV files; but also for Youtube, Vimeo, Koreus and Soundcloud.

New support for the OPUS audio codec, including multichannel and streams. …

How the fuck is going from 2.0.3 to 2.0.4 the correct version bump for a major upgrade?

Jeez…
