Apparently no UPnP update. Will try and check tonight, but waiting minutes to browse my DLNA server makes VLC much less useless to play remote videos...

Yea, no improvment in this area. It still scans the while "filesystem" on the server before you can browse which takes ages. And it still fails to convert content on the fly during download (I can only download as raw copy, and convert later. If I enable on-the-fly transcoding (or even just changing the container) it aborts early.
