26.0.15 (1/7/2020)
1. Changed: Updated German translation file (thanks Bytestar).

14. NEW: Added an IsUpperCase expression.
15. Changed: The option to "Move all non-imported files in folder with selected media files" only runs if the file is imported (so it won't engage on files from the Explorer view, etc.).
16. Changed: Added a JSON export to MCWS File functions (eg. Browse/Files, Playlist/Files, etc).
17. NEW: Composer views will use a Composers folder for cover art and look there (instead of the artist, etc. views).

19. Fixed: Corrupt FLAC files could hang the program.
20. NEW: Made a new Theater View option "Show Showtime! rule..." to specify a search to not show the Showtime! item (so it doesn't have to show for television programs, for example).
21. Changed: Allow any multi-channel file to be uploaded to Cloudplay. We used to allow two channel only.
22. Changed: Added the media subtype of "Extras".

27. Fixed: When doing a "Convert or Resize" on an image, it would not convert a non-JPEG image to JPEG if the size was not being changed.

29. NEW: Added the library server command File > Download From Library Server to download selected files.

33. Fixed: Tabbing quickly through the Tag Action Window could cause a glitch.
34. Fixed: Made the location view schemes work better cross-platform.
35. NEW: Added an optional waveform bar to the player window (right-click) that uses data from analyze (you'll need to analyze over to get the information).

37. NEW: Added the option to lookup lyrics to the import tool.
38. NEW: Added the media key mode "Hot keys (ignore volume)" to leave volume commands to the system.

41. Changed: Authentication fixes and cleanup. Mostly related to Library server authentication.
42. NEW: Added the media subtype Animation.

47. Changed: Radio JRiver tracks will play to DLNA devices.
48. NEW: Added the program run-time to the Reporter view.
49. Changed: Slovak translation updated (thanks Peter Lukac).
50. Fixed: If you selected files below a grouping, then dragged the window to move it, getting the selection would get files from the top grouping list instead of the bottom list.

52. Changed: Added the media subtype Entertainment.
53. Fixed: The /StartMin and /StartMax commands would not reliably work.

55. NEW: You can specify what files to include in the share for Library Server in Options > Media Network > Set rules for included files...
56. Fixed: Some MP3 streams wouldn't play because they didn't like our user agent. Revised our default user agent.
57. Changed: Updated German translation file (thanks Bytestar).
58. Fixed: Webservice calls to get a stack image could cause a crash if the folder was empty.

60. Changed: MC will match custom fields with NFO elements without considering case (so custom field "Set" will match <set> in NFO file).
61. NEW: Added channels to Radio Paradise in Theater View (both streaming and adding Radio Paradise individually).
62. Fixed: The Blue Steel skin could draw distorted in Display View.
63. Changed: Switched how we nest image keywords to hopefully line up with Adobe better. We now use a > character instead of a / character.

2. Changed: Some authentication code for library server.
25.0.113 (10/4/2019)
1. Fixed: One some desktop/window manager combinations the suggestion window could steal focus from the edit box (used in tagging).
2. NEW: Added channels to Radio Paradise in Theater View (both streaming and adding Radio Paradise individually).
3. Fixed: Webservice calls to get a stack image could cause a crash if the folder was empty.
4. Fixed: Thumbnails in Theater View could be duplicated.
5. Changed: The disc count and HDCD tools are stopped at shutdown instead of blocking shutdown.
6. Fixed: Dragging and dropping list items in the Tag window did not flag the data as dirty so the change would be discarded.
7. Changed: If TreePath, Device, or Search is specified on the command line, the control and shift checks for filtering the media type will be disabled.
8. Fixed: Editing tags in a popup would not mark them as dirty so they would not be saved.
9. Fixed: The "Show Files In Subfolders" checkbox was not working.
10. Changed: Focus setting is bypassed when moving or resizing the main window which should help with how smooth that works.
11. Changed: Slight delay to the redraw at the end of moving or resizing the main window to allow prior UI events to be processed first.
25.0.108 (10/1/2019)
1. Fixed: When exiting a popup window mouse movement was being ignored in the main window preventing the use of the splitter, resize, etc.
2. Fixed: Fix handling of video files (and probably others) that contain parenthesis in the filepath
2. Fixed: The maximum encode size wasn't being passed as an int64 so it could overflow on big files and cause encoding to fail.

6. Fixed: SRT subtitles could appear multiple times in the menu.
7. Changed: Made the disc count algorithm count actual discs instead of take the max disc number.
8. Changed: Made the maximum allowable size of a Podcast larger because we found real world Podcasts larger than our previous cap size.
9. Fixed: Undid the "All channels" handling in the Parametric Equalizer volume and mute filters because it was causing all channels to be processed even if only selected ones were checked.
10. Fixed: We were not passing the array of files into the expression for thumbnails so things like GroupCount(...) were not working properly.
11. NEW: Added the ItemCount(...) expression to allow giving the count of all the files in the database with the same album, artist, album key, etc.
12. Changed: Made the DLNA servers dialog larger and made it sizable.
12. NEW: Made the program go through and update the 'Total Discs' for all the files in the library at startup (files not marked dirty, so shouldn't cause tagging).
25.0.102 (9/24/2019)
1. NEW: Calls to the web service from a webpage short-circuit the web browser and route directly inside Media Center. That way the calls work even with Media Network off.
2. Changed: Updated the Korean translation (thanks Junghwan).
3. Fixed: Editing a file path rule in the library customization dialog would not work.
4. Changed: Theater View will save when it's zoomed into a file so returning to Theater View will still be zoomed in.

6. Fixed: The equalizer preamp was only working on the two front channels.
7. Changed: Saving an empty playlist as a Car Radio button would start playing the current playlist instead of messaging that there was nothing to play.
8. NEW: Added the PNPosition and PNCount variables to the expression used for status bar customization.
9. Changed: Reworked both the preamp and equalizer so they'll work on high channel counts (like 32 channels) instead of only on prescribed channels.

14. Fixed: SACD playback was not working.
15. Changed: Play Doctor won't factor a file as a minus file if you double-click a new track. It will only factor as a minus if you hit the next track button.

1. Fixed: Rebuild AMD64 as 25.0.101

11. Changed: When typing a part after a semi-colon in an edit box, a suggestion will appear for the second, third, etc. string.
12. NEW: An option "Jump amount when using mouse wheel to change playback position", to allow users to select how many seconds to jump when mouse wheel is turned (1 - 30 seconds).
13. Changed: When loading from an NFO file for a video, if <rating> or <ratings> tag is not found, <userrating> will be loaded for "Rating" field.
14. Changed: The check for updates Action Window only shows for five seconds if there's no update (so you don't have to close it).
15. Changed: Switched the API call used for Theater View sound playback to hopefully be more responsive.
16. Changed: Made mouse wheel scrolling in a menu always scroll at least one item even if the scroll reported by the system is small (previously it could be discarded).
17. NEW: An option to disable mouse wheel for jumping / skipping.
18. Changed: Updated Greek translation (thanks Panagiotis).

24. Fixed: Pressing Ctrl+A after opening the tag window would not select all in the file list.
25. NEW: The i386 build uses the chromium web engine instead of gtkwebkit now allowing Cloudplay user login.
26. Changed: DLNA the next track will be sent 30 seconds before the end of the current track to devices that support SetNextAVTransportURI. (increase of 6 seconds).

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.
