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.

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.

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

GUI inconsistency report:

MC allows connections to a remote library *even when the Media Network feature is disabled*. When disabled the Media Network options section is hidden accordingly.

The Client Options that determine transcoding from a remote library (Tools > Options > Media Network > Client Options) should be moved to the General section so they are always available.

Alternatively, connecting to a remote library should be disallowed unless Media Network is enabled.

It does seem like the Client Options could be moved to the general section, however they do still show up under the Media Network configuration settings even when Media Network is disabled since we do still allow a connection to a remote library in that case. The reason for allowing that access is that a user might want to hard code servers to connect to in the tree but not want dynamic (DLNA) servers to show up.

This is precisely why the settings for a function that is always available should be located in a section that is always available. Glad we agree.

I do agree but the Media Network options section is always available and those settings are there to be set even when Media Network is turned off. It does as you say make more sense that they be in the general section.
