7. Changed: Added SRT subtitles to the list of data types the program understands.<br>

9. Changed: Ran all the translations through the tool to update to the latest strings from the source code.<br>

16. Changed: Set hints on a popup window BEFORE it is mapped. Try to tell the WM a popup window is modal.<br>

3. Fixed: Redraw triggered before video play started caused a crash<br>
4. Changed: Updated all translations to the latest strings from the code.<br>
5. Fixed: Delay instruction window start since video play window overwrote it, now it works for video and theater view.<br>
6. Fixed: The instruction window for video playback was stealing and not returning focus to the video playback window so one had to click on it to get keyboard and mouse responses.<br>
7. Changed: Updated Greek translation (thanks Panagiotis).<br>

3. Changed: Improved timeout in JRVR when detecting rendering glitches to allow a more graceful recovery.<br>
4. '''NEW:''' When recording an ATSC TV channel (with tuners using DirectShow), the program's Closed Captioning metadata is saved in the database for the recorded file (in PlaybackInfo field).<br>
5. Changed: Improved JRVR timing accuracy when using NTSC-style display refresh rates (eg. 23.976 Hz).<br>
6. Changed: UI window redraws (which get called frequently on scrolls, etc) on windows with children draw directly instead of through events which speeds up UI response.<br>

2. Fixed: The "Tuner Type" drop-down on Configure Device dialog window did not offer proper choices with IPTV tuner.<br>
3. Changed: "Disabled" is removed from choices in "Tuner Type" drop-down if the TV type is "IPTV" since there is no real device to be disabled.<br>
4. Changed: The option "Disable VideoClock when not time-shifting" is no longer shown if the devices are DMS, or IPTV since non-time-shifting mode is not offered for these types.<br>
5. '''NEW:''' "This device uses a separate audio capture filter" option in TV tuner configuration dialog window, for analog TV tuners or video capture devices.<br>
6. Fixed: When running an analog TV tuner or a video capture device with Closed Caption option on, and video could fail to play if Closed Caption rendering failed.  With this fix, video will play without CC when CC rendering failed.<br>
7. Changed: When playing an ATSC TV recording, the video option "Always show subtitles" in "Subtitles and Language" section will be obeyed and Closed Captioning will be shown (if available) unless the file's PlaybackInfo tag specifically says to turn it off.  This is applicable only when playing videos using DirectShow filters.<br>
8. Changed: Moved the Gammut and Gamma JRVR options into an "Advanced" section, as well as re-factored the Gamma option to properly indicate the intent and suggested use.<br>
9. Fixed: JRVR would process SDR video with a HDR brightness adaptation, resulting in boosted black levels.<br>

15. Changed: Updated German translation file (thanks Bytestar).<br>
16. Changed: Audio analysis will engage HDCD processing if it's enabled (you might need to reanalyze your HDCD files).<br>
17. '''NEW:''' Added an information message box to the skin to show sunrise, sunset, and the current effect.<br>
18. Changed: The spacing between rows in a list would add room for the image column even if it wasn't there.<br>
19. Changed: Setting HDCD to "1" will clear the audio analysis results so they run again (since enabling processing changes the results).<br>
20. Changed: Improved handling of timestamps when dealing with Transport Stream streaming TV channels (DMS channels, some IPTV channels, and CableCARD channels on Linux/Mac).<br>
21. Fixed (probably): Playback of Transport Stream streaming TV channels could be messed up if the stream changed its Program Clock Reference (outside of regular resetting due to counter overflow).<br>
22. Changed: The spacing between item rows in a list would leave space for an image column even if it wasn't there.<br>
23. Fixed: Some expression code was slowing things down.<br>
24. Changed: Twilight is lighter between sunrise and sunset then darkens at sunset (gradual fading for 30 minutes on either side).<br>
25. Fixed: MHT support in View Extras wasn't fully implemented.<br>
26. '''NEW:''' Added a checkbox to library fields "Allow custom data to override the expression" that will allow editing the value of an expression and then show the edited value instead of the expression (just empty to bring the expression back).<br>

7. Fixed: For IPTV playback a "Window" context menu (for aspect ratio, zooming etc.) was displayed in error as it's not supported.<br>

14. '''NEW:''' When setting a field to an expression, a "this" variable is saved so doing something like =RemoveLeft([this], 3) will work.<br>
15. Changed: The MCC_SYNC_WITH_LIBRARY_SERVER command takes a silent parameter (optionally).<br>
16. '''NEW:''' Made FieldQuery take a Scope of 2 to match files of the same media type (the list is gathered one time, so you will need to restart to see newly imported files).<br>
17. Changed: Updated German translation file (thanks Bytestar).<br>
18. Fixed: Removing cover art from FLAC files could fail if the picture was saved as FLAC__STREAM_METADATA_PICTURE_TYPE_OTHER.<br>

9. '''NEW:''' Track transitions can be selected per file by editing the "Track Transition" and "Track Transition Duration" fields.<br>
10. Changed: Library fields are reloaded on language changes so translated strings get recalculated.<br>
11. Fixed: Some IPTV channels would not have duration info during time-shifting.  We fixed this by changing how we collect time stamp info.<br>
12. Fixed: When MC fell back to non-time-shifting mode during IPTV playback, the position counter still advanced (instead of staying at 0).<br>
13. Fixed: Returning from Theater View could make the window fill the screen instead of snapping back to the old size.<br>

23. Fixed: The ListMath expression could crash if an empty string was passed in.<br>
24. Changed: Tuned the equalizer size so the text should fit below the sliders better in normal configurations.<br>
25. Changed: Made the EQ up / down increment less (0.1 dB now).<br>

11. Fixed: A corrupt wav format file (or aiff) with bad metadata could have caused a crash on import.<br>
12. Fixed: The Cloudplay filter would not apply when playing from the Play Doctor search box.<br>
13. Changed: Made the VST sample size optional in Options > Audio > Advanced (takes a restart for the change to take effect).<br>
<br>

4. '''NEW:''' Added the new S-Curve cross-fade modes.<br>
5. Fixed: When playing videos, the player could return to the previous size and position as it advanced tracks.<br>

5. Changed: Diverting to a DLNA zone will issue a seek (since bookmarking is not supported) to retain the playback position.<br>
6. '''NEW:''' Experimental drag/drop support (internal only at this time). Follows windows standard where holding down a control key does a copy operation (if supported for the drag).  (AMD64 version only for now) Need feedback.<br>
7. '''NEW:''' Opus input plugin, with full tag reading/writing support.<br>
8. Changed: Deleting an image would stop playback instead of just going to the next image.<br>

<br>
<br>
