21.0.7 (9/14/2015)

1. NEW: Added optional full strength TPDF Dithering in the audio engine (Options > Audio > Advanced > Dither Mode).
2. Changed: Updated Slovak translation (thanks Peter Lukac).
3. Changed: When running television setup, mc2xml will no longer be executed twice, once for channels once for guide.  Now only one run (unless there is a failure) will be needed, even if there are multiple types of channels to be setup (with identical channel lineup).
4. Fixed: Accepted search suggestions weren't always working.
5. Changed: The sample rate of DSD when bitstreaming will be reported more correctly by the player (it was showing the rate it would become if it became PCM).
6. Changed: Switched the spacebar in Theater View to always play what's selected instead of only playing if playback was stopped.
7. Changed: Made the ideal width of a small image column a little wider.
8. Changed: Updated Japanese translation (thanks Kazuo Tsuchiya).

21.0.6 (9/10/2015)

1. Fixed: Television shows that were 5 minutes or shorter were not presented in guide.
2. Fixed: The height of tiles in a list didn't scale properly for high DPI.
3. Fixed: When loading STB or CableCARD channels, mc2xml could fail repeatedly.
4. Changed: Added instructions on television setup regarding mc2xml "data source" selection (Standard vs. TitanTV).
5. NEW: Multiple mc2xml EPG loading methods can be setup, one for each provider selected ("digital terrestrial lineup", "digital cable", etc.).
6. Changed: Relaxed postal code checking on television property page.
7. NEW: For playback you can select "Ask at playback time" and MC will ask if you want to play internally or launch a program.
8. Changed: When showing search suggestions in the Television view, it will look at both recordings and the EPG (previously it only looked at the EPG).
9. Fixed: Search suggestions could show duplicated values in rare cases.
10. Changed: Made the name field in the database search like all the other fields so that typing a part of the name will give that name as a suggestion (please report any issues).
11. Fixed: Multi-monitor support was broken.

21.0.5 (9/9/2015)

1. Fixed: The detached display would maximize to the wrong size on mixed DPI multiple monitor configurations.
2. Fixed: Automatic EPG loading with mc2xml did not work for countries where postal codes consist of two parts separated by space (UK, Canada, Ireland, etc.).
3. Changed: Television recording rules that have invalid program ID or channel ID will not be automatically deleted.  They will just be marked as such, so users may choose to fix them manually.
4. Changed: When scheduling or editing an existing scheduled time-based TV recording, the channel drop-box will no longer be disabled.
5. Changed: MC will try finding new bda or WDM TV tuner devices each time it tries to load a tuner for playback or recording.
6. Fixed: Playing a DVB TV channel on a client might fail.
7. Changed: Updated French translation (thanks p.v.).
8. Fixed: The TiVo Server Options dialog could truncate on some displays.
9. Fixed: Settings were not getting restored when restoring a library backup (build 21.0.4 only).
10. Fixed: The 'Server Stopped' message from the TiVo server wasn't translatable.
11. Changed: Updated the 'New / Improved This Version' link in the help menu to point to the version 21 thread.
12. NEW: Added the expression function Translate(...) to give a string to the translation engine.
13. Changed: The text on a list like Gold by Abba can now translate the by string that's in between the artist and album.
14. Changed: Updated French translation (thanks p.v.).

21.0.4 (9/2/2015)

1. Changed: Sorting ignores diacriticals instead of sorting them special.
2. Changed: The ICY metadata reader interprets the data it gets as UTF-8 instead of ANSI (will make some international stations appear more correctly).
3. NEW: Keyboard shortcut Ctrl+B for "Previously played TV channel".
4. Fixed: Auto matching of channels to xmltv IDs in the new mc2xml TV guide method did not work.
5. Fixed: Memory leak in SACD DST decoding.
6. Fixed: MC21 ASIO driver was showing up in list of audio devices.
7. Changed: Changed how device arrival event is handled for video capture (analog TV tuner) devices, so that audio capture devices are not erroneously added to TV tuners list.
8. Fixed: Turning the ASIO driver on or off didn't ask for UAC elevation so the install went into outer space.
9. Changed: Added the stock smartlist 'Audio -- Task -- Missing files'.
10. Fixed: Fixed a typo "Remove from Farvorites".
11. Changed: Removed the 'Help Wiki' link from the help menu since it was the same as Help > Contents.
12. Changed: Added more diagnostic logging for TV recording.
13. Changed: Made some changes in the handling of serving clients live TV from the server.
14. Changed: Updated Japanese translation (thanks Kazuo Tsuchiya).
15. Fixed: Fix for volume leveling growing out of bounds on track changes.
16. Changed: Bookmarking looks at the playback range when calculating the duration so that files that are just little snips won't bookmark.
17. NEW: Added the output format "Encode as 4xDSD in DoP format" for 4x DoP delivery.
18. Changed: When running mc2xml internally, MC will try fixing empty country code and postal code first, and then -c and/or -g options are skipped if the respective fields are still empty.
19. Changed: The movie lookup code run by Auto-Import will only look a movie up every 30 days (instead of continually).
20. Changed: Added validity check on postal code entered in television setup wizard and on television property page.  Postal code entry is now mandatary.  The degree of validity check depends on country.

21.0.3 (8/17/2015)

1. NEW: Added the choices 176.4 khz and 192 khz to the configure ASIO Line-In dialog.
2. Fixed: After a few hours of running the 3d visualization tunnel would reach the destination and stop (only maybe fixed so testing appreciated).
3. Changed: Updated French translation (thanks p.v.).
4. Changed: Adjusted logging in an effort to diagnose the lost TV tuner problem.
5. Changed: Updated Czech translation (thanks Jan Boháč!).
6. Changed: Updated Slovak translation (thanks Peter Lukac).
7. Changed: Updated Japanese translation (thanks Kazuo!).
8. Fixed: ZoneSwitch was broken and not finding its settings since 21.0.1.
9. Changed: Added all the channels from 10 to 24 by increments of two to the Output Format DSP page.
10. Changed: The option to add Netflix to Theater View has been removed (the item would just get trimmed anyway).
11. Fixed: The recent searches in the search box wasn't working properly.
12. Fixed: Thumbnailing could stall.

21.0.2 (8/5/2015)

1. Changed: Reworked television device change handling.  Hopefully this will fix the "no tuner available" error on some systems after waking up from sleep.
2. Changed: mc2xml option is moved to the top of EPG mode selection page in Television Setup wizard.
3. Fixed: The "Click here for more information about mc2xml" link in Television Setup wizard was a dead link.
4. Fixed: Updated the licensing for version 21 (internal change).

21.0.1 (8/4/2015)

1. NEW: Added the sample rates 705600 and 768000 to the Output Format dialog.
2. Changed: Updated Slovak translation (thanks Peter Lukac).
3. NEW: Added an image playback mode 'Display images using a 2D renderer' to the options of Images.  Will use a 2D space for rendering instead of a 3D space.  Mostly for Linux / Mac, but please test.
4. Fixed: The Onion would return "No text" for many of the articles in Theater View.
5. Changed: Removed the splash screen because it never showed launching off an SSD anyway, but it would still slow the launch down a little.
6. NEW: Theater View background image slideshows include sidecars that are next to the file.
7. NEW: Added the MCWS/v1/Playback/PlayPlaylist function to play a playlist in a specified zone.
8. NEW: Sending files to a particular zone disables Zone Switch from engaging.
9. NEW: Volume Leveling uses the additional Headroom provided by Internal Volume for a more consistent experience on highly dynamic tracks or when downmixing.
10. NEW: Added a 'Clean results' checkbox to the Fill Properties From Filename tool that will fix spacing, capitalization, etc.
11. NEW: Added an expression function Row() that outputs the current row number of a record.
12. NEW: Added the command 'ZoneSwitch...' to the Audio options page.
13. NEW: Added "Play in Media Center" to the root of the explorer context menu.
14. Changed: Made the search suggestions a little wider and fixed the sizing to account for high DPI.
15. Changed: Marked "<unknown album>" and "<unknown name>" for translation.
16. Changed: Marked a bunch of strings in the TiVo server for translation.
17. Changed: Updated French translation (thanks p.v.).
18. Changed: When a zone is cleared, it will clear all the linked zones as well (applies to MCWS/v1/Playback/ClearPlaylist but also other areas as well).
19. Changed: Added a few more 'o' character variations to the diacritical ignoring code.
20. NEW: Middle-click on a link column will open the link in a new tab.
21. Fixed: Recording of a television program on a grouped channel would incorrectly favor an STB tuner (even if the STB channel was not on top of the group).
22. NEW: MCWS Browse/Children contains more information about the type of the entry, and the PlaylistID if appropriate (only when requesting Version 2).
23. NEW: Keyboard shortcut 'D' for onscreen information display (equivalent to remote control info button) that toggles among "playback position"/"program name"/"program description".
25. Changed: Updated Japanese translation (thanks Kazuo).
26. Changed: Added a few more diacriticals to the list of things for ignoring during sorting.
27. Changed: Switched Theater View back to looking only at artist instead of album artist (auto) when doing cover art lookup.
28. Changed: Added a tuner selection page when re-scan for television channels (only applicable in channel types for which multiple tuners are in the same profile), so you can scan for channels using one device, and re-scan using a different device more easily.
29. Changed: Carnac understands the naming template Move Name (Year).
30. NEW: mc2xml is integrated into the program, so it can be used for all your EPG retrieval needs.

5. Changed: The sample rate of DSD when bitstreaming will be reported more correctly by the player (it was showing the rate it would become if it became PCM).

Just a note that this still isn't right for devices the take native DSD.  It's only right for devices that take DoP.

It will be fixed in the next build.
