23.0.13 (6/28/2017)

1. NEW: The Library Server and MCWS are now available over HTTPS.
2. NEW: Radio KISS, a new web based player interface to Media Center.  It's on the "Panel" web page labeled "Radio".  Currently under active development.
3. NEW: You can right-click a file and pick Cover Art > Edit (first file) to open the image in the JRiver image editor.
4. NEW: The Conductor, Directory, Producer, and Publisher fields are now imported from MP4 files.
5. NEW: Added right-click More Play Options > Play Album (shuffled).
6. NEW: Video playback stops when paused for 10 minutes.
7. NEW: The View extras menu looks for a zip file named "Artwork.zip" and shows the artwork in the zip file if it exists.
8. NEW: Zone links can be renamed.
9. NEW: Added "Stop After Playing Track" to the right-click menu in Playing Now.
10. NEW: WavPack DSD files play as native DSD if the DSD bitstreaming feature is enabled.
11. NEW: Added the MCWS function Playback/LoadDSPPreset to load a DSP preset by a name.
12. Changed: Left-click on a tooltip hides the tooltip
13. Changed: Space-bar now works for check/uncheck checkboxes in list controls, such as the DSP plugin list in DSP studio.
14. Changed: DLNA: Added a controller option to Ignore GetPosition Failure (on broken renderers) which is NOT set by default. As a consequence of this, DLNA device status checking is simplified for normal devices when the option is NOT enabled. This will allow other broken renderers to work when the options is NOT set. The option is specifically for Stream-Only devices.
15. Changed: Improved the Modern Cards: Grey Edition skin (thanks Awesome Donkey).
16. Fixed: Playlist export didn't fix the filenames, so if the playlist name contained a colon or other character that wasn't legal, it didn't work properly.
17. Fixed: When doing DLNA rendering of "wav" files (not L24 or L16), MC was doing an expensive internet open/read/close operation (twice) to check for exotic "wav" files containing compressed data that need the video engine. Now we only do this for local files.  Caused hesitation between tracks on slow devices like ID's.
18. Fixed: Downmixing a LFE channel could be affected by the wrong LFE frequency setting.
19. Fixed: Playing images on a library server client with conversion enabled would double rotate the images (so the rotation would appear wrong).
20. Optimized: Performance enhancements when changing pages and selecting playlists

Didn't migrate my license from MC22 which was supposed to be also for 23.  Had to go in and find the old email and re install the license code.

@dortney:  That's totally normal for MC.  It does not "find" licenses, even when they are overlapping.  You always have to register new versions.  Which you did. 

MC for Mac also does not migrate your library.  You might want to restore a backup of MC22 into MC23, so your play counts, import dates, etc are all intact.

Will there be a Wavpack encoding option added to the Mac version? Kind of hard to produce Wavpack DSD files without it.

[JimH]

Probably not.

Are preferences (views, libraries, DSP settings etc) supposed to carry over from MC22?  Mine comes up completely new. 
Also, when viewing equalizer in DSP Studio, the view scale is extremely small and does not rescale with window rescale.

Back up in MC22.  Restore in MC23.  Read carefully.

Not automatically.  But it's pretty easy to import a backup from MC22 into MC23:

1.  In MC22:  File > Library > Backup Library . Take note of the file name and location.
2.  In MC23:  File > Library > Restore Library . Use the file from the step above.

That should get you everything:  Settings, all files, views, playlists, etc.

importing a backup from the previous version worked except for the custom resources (shortcuts etc) which i had to add manually

It would be nice if it detected older versions licenses, settings, and libraries and offered to use them.  especially now for example since the license i applied to 22 was supposed to also work for 23, which it did just i had to figure it out and apply it myself.  sure people can be this aware and do all of this stuff on upgrade but it might be nice if it 'just worked'.  for example the first launch of the new version could pop up a dialog asking if you would like your settings and libraries applied.
