24.0.55 (10/8/2018)

1. NEW: Buttons added for re-ordering a track in a playlist.
2. Changed: Range for detecting an external DLNA controller while a playlist is playing is changed from 0 - End-5 seconds to 0 - End-6 seconds

24.0.52 (9/20/2018)

1. Changed: Only the 64 bit version uses Chromium now, the i386 and arm builds use webkit libraries from the users OS.
2. Changes from the main build.

24.0.46 (8/10/2018)

1. Fixed: Crash under some DM's (Cinnamon, perhaps others) when the file select dialog is closed.
2. Fixed: MC would leave around some files in /run/shm which could cause unexplained behavior and crashes when they accumulated and the process numbers recycled and MC reused them.
3. Fixed: Changes to make the running of the Chromium browser more stable.
4. Fixed: The wavepack plugin was missing from some builds which resulted in unexplained crashes.
5. Changed: Added the libnss3 dependency and removed the webkit dependency for the Chromium builds.

24.0.45 (7/27/2018)

1. NEW: The web browser uses chromium now (except for ARM). A chromium plugin is downloaded and installed on first run (MC will take a while to come up depending on your connection speed, it's 45 megs to DL).

24.0.42 (7/10/2018)

1. Changed: Improved internal web browser operation.

24.0.39 (6/29/2018)

1. Changes from the main branch mainly dealing with JRiver Radio.

24.0.37 (6/26/2018)

1. NEW: Linux implement key release handling. Detect whether a key is being held down (key repeat).
2. Fixed: Crash on right-click release in some context menus.
3. Fixed: A key sending function in MC was sending 2 keypresses instead of a press/release.

24.0.36 (6/22/2018)

1. Fixed: In some cases, converting an audio file would leave the file type set to the old file's type.
2. Fixed: OpenGL Theater View could use more CPU then expected since 24.0.34.
3. Fixed: SRT subtitles with non-breaking spaces did not render properly.
4. Changed: DLNA, change SetNext controller option disabling so that device errors don't disable SetNext only disable it if the renderer reports that it's not implemented.
5. Changed: DLNA. Want to make sure that if a resubscribe fails we clear and do a subscribe. Have seen http error codes of 412 on resubscribe.
6. Changed: DLNA, Add a code that will do a manual transport state update if we look frozen at the end of a track (missed an event..)
7. Changed: Radio JRiver playlists will end after playing for two hours without any Media Center user interaction.

24.0.35 (6/15/2018)

1. Fixed: Licensing on i386/amd64 builds. Hopefully for the last time, will require re-entering your registration code.
2. Changed: Implemented some missing low level windowing functions.

24.0.34 (6/12/2018)

1. Fixed: A couple of memory leaks in ALSA and in the Windowing code.
2. Changed: Removed the Register function from the desktop entry because it was preventing mime type associations from working.
3. Changed: The internal web browser is more resiliant and should work better with some desktops.

1. Fixed: Covert art thumbnails were not working on some platforms.

24.0.32 (6/1/2018)

1. Changed: Licensing on Intel platforms. Will require re-entering license key again.

3. Changed: ALSA change the order of hardware parameter settings when opening the device.

24.0.31 (5/29/2018)

1. NEW: Implemented the startup options for linux. Works with any desktop manager.
2. Fixed: A memory leak in the ALSA driver.
