21.0.80 (5/10/2016)

1. Fixed: Doctor Who login tokens could get lost if Media Center was not closed properly
2. Fixed: An unsupported library was preventing Media Center from launching on OSX 10.6, which can’t support FTP upload.
3. Fixed: 32-bit extensible WAV files wouldn't play properly (could cause convolution trouble).
4. Changed: MCWS responses use a more standard Content-Type header to improve compatibility with some web service clients.

21.0.77 (4/29/2016)

1. Fixed: Backed out a changed that was creating duplicate files in the database.

21.0.76 (4/28/2016)

1. Fixed: Font size would double when running Media Center after a font size change if in Retina mode.
2. Fixed: Media Center would crash if it was trying to popup a tagging error message while shutting down.
3. Fixed: Removing a rule from a Smartlist would sometimes leave the dialog in a funny state.
4. NEW: Remade the Thunderstorm skin so it's better on Mac and better on high DPI.

2. NEW: Added support for viewing RAW images.

5. Fixed: Certain characters in a folder path would result in an invalid folder message even if the folder was valid.
6. Added extra logging for when Media Center returns with “Invalid Directory.”

21.0.64 (3/21/2016)

1. Fixed: Reverted a change that resulted in extra calls to get the volume of DLNA devices which could make the GUI sluggish.

21.0.63 (3/21/2016)

1. Fixed: Cover art "Get From Internet" could crash since 21.0.61.

21.0.61 (3/18/2016)

1. Fixed: Occasional crashes in DSP Studio window when a menu is being shown while the close button is clicked.
2. Fixed: Doctor Who playlist post-processing was running too often and wasn't canceling properly so could cause a deadlock.
3. NEW: Added the ability to right-click and select Share to Web, which will upload selected images to Pix01.
4. NEW: Added the ability to right-click and add selected images to an e-mail as attachments.
5. Changed: Updated the default podcast feeds (thanks for the help!) (right-click Podcasts in the tree and pick Add Default Feeds).

1. Fixed: There was an issue where mini view would shrink too far on high resolution monitors.
2. Fixed: Rare crash when playing video files.
3. Changed: Zone links are tied to the zone GUID instead of the zone ID (so linking to a DLNA device should work better).
4. Fixed: Case-only changes wouldn't get written to M4A/ALAC tags.
5. NEW: Added the option "Use gapless for manual track changes" to switch to gapless from whatever is configured when switching manually.
6. Fixed: Shuffling a playlist that was linked didn't update the other playlists in the link.

21.0.48 (2/12/2016)

1. Fixed: Seeking a video while deinterlacing was active caused playback to break.
2. Changed: Reverted the web links version back to 1.2 so custom links won't be erased. Note: If you have custom links, in order to apply fixes made to broken links, you will need to select "Reset All Links To Default" from the Manage Links dialog.
3. Changed: If a web link doesn't have a search URL specified, it will fall back to the base URL for navigation.
4. Fixed: Using the Tag Action Window could crash.

21.0.45 (2/9/2016)

12. Fixed: An issue with tagging errors could cause a crash when Media Center was closed.

21.0.31 (12/30/2015)

1. Fixed: External web pages were not showing because of new defaults for Webview in Xcode 7.

21.0.30 (12/30/2015)

1. Fixed: Rename, Move, & Copy dialog wasn't working in "find and replace" mode for renaming files coming from a Windows sytem (e.g. replace "C:\Music\" with "/Music/")
2. Fixed: In the Rename, Move, & Copy dialog you couldn't expand the column widths enough to see the whole filename.
3. Fixed: Some popup tool windows save their position and size if the user has adjusted them, this was not happening on Mac.
4. Fixed: DSP Studio was blinking with VST effects installed (the fix is wider and might also make drawing in general more efficient).
5. Fixed: Logging could crash MC under some circumstances.

21.0.25 (12/4/2015)

1. Fixed: Data files such as PDF's would not start up the default application when double clicked.
2. Changed: Enabled DoP bitstreaming for DSD256 (experimental).
3. Fixed: Some message boxes were slightly cut off at the bottom in Retina mode.

21.0.24 (12/1/2015)

1. Fixed: Cmd-W (close window) would enter a 'w' character into edit boxes.
2. Fixed: Corrupt tiff images caused a crash when MC tried to import them.
3. Fixed: Pressing 'w' key in popup windows triggered the cmd-w 'close window' command.
4. Fixed: MC toolbar icons were partially overlaying the left-hand close/minimize/restore buttons.
5. Fixed: When DSP Studio window was initially displayed, the current DSP plugin's info would not be shown until clicking somewhere else and then back.
6. Fixed: In the smartlist editing window, some UI controls were not showing properly.

21.0.19 (11/5/2015)

1. Fixed: Rename, move, copy dialog was getting partially cut-off at the bottom.

6. NEW: Automatic stream selection based on the preferred language configured in Video -> Subtitles & Languages.
7. Fixed: Thumbnail creation for Videos would often crash JRWorker.
8. Changed: Took the (experimental) label off retina mode.
9. Fixed: When MC was maximized and user double-clicked on the title bar, app would correctly exit maximized mode, but would always position at the screen origin rather than the correct previous origin.
10. Fixed: When MC was maximized and user single clicked on the title bar, app would exit maximized mode which should only happen on double-click.
11. NEW: MC now supports the system preference setting for double-clicking the title bar.  Three settings: 1. Disabled, 2. Maximize/Restore, 3. Minimize.
12. Changed: Display defaults to retina mode if the primary monitor is high-res and the user had never selected a setting.
13. Fixed: Left tree view default width was too narrow on Retina displays.
14. NEW: Doctor Who is now available under Playlists.  30 second samples not quite working yet.
15. Fixed: DLNA socket threads that got hung up would sometimes not cancel properly so MC would hard-kill them resulting in crashes and/or memory leaks.

21.0.8 (9/8/2015)

1. Fixed: DSD multi-channel music bit-streamed in DoPe format was not working, would output noise or choppy audio or silence.  Tested on exaSound e28 DAC.

This version (21.0.80) seems to ask for permission to connect to the remote app each time after start up. Is there no way to make the permission permanent? Until 21.0.77 I never saw the permission question pop up?

Yep.  Every time I run, it asked permission for incoming connections.

Isn't that a firewall asking?

^ I just upgraded to 21.0.80 to test this "ask permission" report.  I've launched MC twice now and gotten no such prompt.  Remote control, via EOS remote works as it did before.  I'm using OS X 10.9.5 .  Maybe MC interacts differently with 10.10.x or 10.11.x ?

A screen shot of the permission message might be helpful.

No issues here on 10.11. Then again, I have no firewall installed or enabled.

Yes - that turned out to be the issue but something was weird.  When I opened the Security & Privacy preferences, it showed Media Center 21 as allowing incoming connections.  I had to delete it and add it back to fix the problem.  There must be something about the MC21 update confusing the firewall settings.

^ OK, I can now confirm strange behavior.  My Mac firewall was off.  After turning it on, I started getting these messages from the OS to allow or deny MC to receive incoming connections.

I tried to remove and re-add the rule to the firewall, but it doesn't seem to make any difference.  The OS still prompts me on every launch of MC for allow or deny.   So I rolled back to 21.0.77 .  No problem there.  Repeated app launches do not produce the OS dialog.  I verified that media network still works.

Back to 21.0.80, and the prompts return.  Something is definitely different about this release.

Yeah - I thought I had fixed it but when I rebooted it was back.  I'm getting tired of having to roll back MC to get rid of problems that JRiver introduces in new versions!

Tanks Brian,
This is exactly my experience. I rolled back to 21.0.77 and with the same firewall settings there are no problems
