http://files.jriver.com/mediacenter/channels/v25/latest/MediaCenter250080.dmg25.0.80 (7/19/2019)
1. NEW: Added an experimental 3.1 output mode to JRSS (enabled with PCM or Dolby Digital). Feedback appreciated.
2. Changed: Tuned the display of audio formats in Audio Path so the display is "5.1 channels", etc. instead of "6 channels" when it's in that mode.
3. Changed: Transcoding video will ensure the result fits inside the selected resolution, instead of exceeding it in some cases, improving playback compatibility with a variety of devices.
4. Changed: TCP sockets could have hung to partially dead devices, added a write timeout.
5. Changed: When a TCP connection is closed because of a cancel, force the connection to be broken down immediately.
6. Changed: The player window only leaves space for artwork when playing (so the space goes away when stopped).
7. Changed: Minor tuning to the player window artwork display position.
8. Changed: Renamed the player menu choice to "Left Align Artwork" so it matches with the on and off wording.
9. Changed: Made toggling zones forward and back (Ctrl+T, etc.) go in the display order instead of the order created.
10. Changed: Made the center channel adjustment also enable for 2.1 playback.
11. NEW: Made the tooltip for the taskbar popup contain the artist and name of the playing track.
12. NEW: Added a "Reset To Stock" menu item to the VST "Load" button. It will reset all the settings back to stock.
13. Fixed: The ~expand smartlist modifier would not import / export properly.
14. Fixed: Formatting big date spans with expressions did not always work properly.
15. Changed: Play Doctor will not error when starting playback with no search at all (only with a search that gives no matches).

17. Changed: Made the MCWS UserInterface/Show treat anything that's not a known string as a tree path to select.

19. Changed: Links no longer show if the field is empty.
20. NEW: The Q factor can be set for low and high pass filters in Parametric Equalizer.
21. Changed: Made the default search for the new Cloud Play option the same as the default Play Doctor search.
22. Changed: When starting Play Doctor with a search that has no matches in the library, it will message instead of playing random files.
23. Changed: When MC fails to read any 'mdat' atom from mp4/m4a/m4v/mov files using its regular method, usually due to bad 'free' atoms in the files, it will try scanning the files for such atoms.
24. Fixed: Not all playlists would show in the Tag Action Window after a recent optimization.
25.0.75 (7/9/2019)
1. Fixed: Converting with an external coder to M4A could lead to a crash.

8. Fixed: Some MP4/m4a/m4v files with bad 'free' atoms would not play.
9. Fixed: The optimization to library fields would cause drop list edit types to fill with only some of the values.
10. Changed: Opened Cloud Play up to trial users.
11. NEW: Added a Rand(...) expression function to generate a random number between the two bounds specified. The last optional parameter specifies if you want integer or decimal.
12. Faster: In-place editing in a huge library is faster.
13. Faster: Enumerating playlists is faster which helps things like Options search with a huge number of playlists.
25.0.71 (6/28/2019)
1. Fixed: Tagging widows that did an auto-select and included a suggestion box could lose focus causing the backspace key to jump back in the UI instead of performing a backspace.
2. Changed: Made the Tag Action Window save and load the scroll position as you navigate (and select no files then select files again).

7. Changed: Made the about box identify the program as 32-bit (it would already identify 64-bit).

9. Changed: Made the ListLimit MCWS function take an optional third parameter for the index to start at.
10. NEW: Added Options > Library & Folders > Analyze HDCD Files to flag the analyzer to look at the HDCD state. It defaults to off so no analysis will be done unless you opt-in.
11. Changed: When the program loads, it will go through files and mark lossy files as not HDCD and files that aren't 44100x16x2 as not HDCD.
12. Changed: Added a message when iTunes playlist import finishes with the number of playlists and directions about where to find them (or an error if no playlists were found).

14. NEW: Added the MCWS function ListLimit to cap the size of a list of items.
14. Fixed: Pressing Shift+Delete in Playing Now would crash.
15. Changed: Made artist image lookup key into the fact that it's a music artist a little better (so playing bands with animal names, etc. will show better matches).
