3. Fixed: Decoding of ALAC in M4A could result in artifacts in some files.
4. Changed: Switched the no files double-click message from play all files to play audio files in Playing Now (so things like notes don't get played).

26.0.15 (1/7/2020)

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).

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).

48. NEW: Added the program run-time to the Reporter view.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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

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).

18. Changed: Updated Greek translation (thanks Panagiotis).

25. NEW: The i386 build uses the chromium web engine instead of gtkwebkit now allowing Cloudplay user login.
