Nullsoft, which recently announced that it would stop Winamp on December 20 after fifteen years, has released a final release of its media player with version number 5.666. Development of version 5.7 had been stopped for some time and the last beta had already expired and could no longer be used. Only the Lite and Full versions are available for download. The former can only play music files, while the Full version can also display video and listen to Shoutcast broadcasts. For the occasion, OpenCandy, the Emusic offering, and the aol toolbar have been removed from the installation. The changelog for this release looks like this:
