5. NEW: Added an option "Lower and slimmer OSD" on Video playback options.
6. Fixed: On import, we would not set the album from the date if we had just set the date from the file's time.
7. NEW: Replaced the 10 band graphical equalizer with the high quality parametric equalizer code. Should solve artifacts that have been reported.

10. Changed: Made the "Library Views" view header for a library view always show (instead of only when the tree is hidden).

12. Changed: Panel - If accessing the Cloudplay page when playing to the browser, the user will be redirected to the home page with a message.
13. Changed: Panel - On the Cloudplay page, only one list can be expanded at a time. Expanding a new list will collapse the previous list.

6. Fixed: Import could crash because the new bitrate code didn't handle files without a duration.
7. NEW: Added an MCC to show the playerbar in Display View (code: 22038). The parameter (optional) is how long to show for.
8. Changed: Reworked how Play Doctor searches online for files so that it uses the original search instead of a processed copy (that might not mean the same thing).
9. Changed: Panel - The hardcoded buttons on the home page were rendering in a separate row.
10. NEW: Panel - Added lists for latest and popular Cloudplay playlists to the Cloudplay page.

22. Fixed: A possible crash saving options (if one of the features was off).
23. Changed: When right-clicking a file if there are no zones, it will say it in the menu instead of n/a.

25. NEW: Panel - Added a last action option to the top of the file context menu.
26. Changed: Panel - The Cloudplay playlists section will render much faster.
27. Changed: Panel - The Cloudplay playlists button will show up after the list of playlists has finished loading.

25.0.92 (8/13/2019)
1. Fixed: The socket write timeout that was being set to the duration of a track from 25.0.86 has been removed (default is now 86400 secs) because it was causing issues with rending devices that had paused playback and that pulled the entire track in one request.
2. Changed: Typed navigation would scroll the list all the way to the left instead of just scrolling vertically.
3. Changed: Nested the Streaming Theater View items under "Radio" and "Stations".

5. Changed: Made the import from iTunes library get ratings.
6. Fixed: Playback/PlayRadioJRiver would return a failure code when playing a Radio JRiver station (instead of success).
7. Changed: Made the "Streaming" Theater View item no longer load files until hitting enter (to play, etc.).

9. Fixed: Syncing with an empty filename rule would put the extension on the file twice.
10. Fixed: Saving an empty filename rule for a handheld would not save properly.
11. Fixed: Calls to Handheld/Sync before the handheld engine loaded devices would not work properly.
12. Changed: MC will load <plot> field from NFO sidecar files into "Description" field so users will not need to create a custom field "plot".
13. NEW: Added the command "Import From iTunes Database..." to the file menu to import from the XML file that iTunes can save the library as. It will import all the files and make a playlist with them.
14. Changed: Updated to Monkey's Audio 4.82.
25.0.88 (8/5/2019)
1. Fixed: Column sizing would not be consistent on high DPI.

4. NEW: Added the ability to add "Streaming" to the root of Theater View with a display of Radio JRiver stations and Radio Paradise.
5. Fixed: The ideal height of the "Rename, Move, & Copy" dialog is calculated from a layout so should be much better on high DPI.
6. Changed: Made column creation use the system scale for the width so columns should be wider on high DPI.
7. Changed: Updated Greek translation (thanks Panagiotis).
8. Fixed: Cloudplay via PlayDoctor wasn't working right when no local library matches were found.
9. Changed: Added a 'Play' button next to the Cloudplay search box when a search term is present. This triggers playback of a Play Doctor playlist using the search term.

11. Fixed: A segfault in JRWorker.
25.0.87 (8/1/2019)

3. Changed: The socket write timeout is set on a per-file served basis to the duration of the file + some padding.

25.0.85 (7/29/2019)
1. NEW: Added Options > Tree & View > Advanced > Reset window position settings to reset the placement of windows.
2. Changed: Made the default height of options taller.
3. Changed: The socket write timeout to prevent hung sockets introduced in 25.0.81 (30 seconds) was too small for devices that have large buffers resulting in stopped playback in the middle of a track. Set it to 300 seconds.
4. Changed: Updated to Monkey's Audio 4.81.
5. Changed: DLNA: If we are controlling a zone check it's state on 5 second intervals even if it's not the current zone (was 20 secs).
6. Changed: DLNA: For gapless playback using SetNextAVTransportURI send the next track near the end of the current playing track instead of near the beginning. This appears to help with some renderers that get confused with their track buffering code (Volumio)
7. NEW: DLNA: Add controller option to ignore other controllers (for misbehaving renderers).
8. Fixed: DLNA: Retrieve initial volume for a renderer (was always 0 before playback started).

25.0.81 (7/22/2019)
1. NEW: The MCWS function to play the JRiver radio will accept "Try Me", "Eclectic", "Classical", "Jazz", and "Rock" as station names and play those stations.
2. Fixed: Dragging Direct Show DSP filters to a differt place in the list could crash.
3. Changed: The increments for the mouse wheel in Room Correction for the speaker distance are now 0.1 ft or 0.01 meters.

25.0.80 (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.

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.
