Perian, the "Swiss Army knife for QuickTime," has decided to cease
development after six years on the market. The Perian team posted a
notice to its users this week, saying that the software is "as complete
as it will ever be under our stewardship."
...
If you're a longtime Perian lover, there's still some hope. Although the
original team is moving on, the software may live on. The source code for
Perian will be posted to either Google Code or Github after its final
release, and developers interested in carrying the torch will be able to
catch up by joining #perian on irc.freenode.net. The team says if Perian
does eventually stop working, they recommend trying VLC (an old Ars staff
favorite) or MPlayer OS X.

I thought the current version WAS the final release…?
