I'm subscribed to xine-devel.

Finding time to debug when a current version *breaks* is a different
matter (presumably, a mercurial version).

https://sourceforge.net/p/xine/mailman/xine-devel/?viewmonth=201907

And the xine website still says that 0.99.10 is the latest :)
https://www.xine-project.org/home

The website is a mess, still pointing to debian for hg repos, but
those seem to be dead.  The current development seems to be at
http://hg.code.sf.net/p/xine/xine-ui but I guess you got the latest
version of 0.99.11.

I would be disappointed to see it go - from past comparison to vlc
(generally too loud!) or parole I got the impression that xine-ui
gave better audio on (classical) music.

When it works on mp4, it usually produces an accurate aspect ration,
unlike parole which often decides to show 5:4 or square images.
