9. Fixed: Switching tracks would discard the sorting of a library list.

20. Fixed: Certain views could crash for the last few builds.
21. Fixed: Sorting of number style lists would not treat empty elements as zero properly.
22. NEW: Added a Search For Playlists command to the right-click that opens up an Action Window page displaying a file's playlists.

2. Changed: User Agent for MC's DLNA related calls.
3. Changed: Updated Italian translation (thanks matteo e massimo).
4. NEW: When configuring auto-import, you can select "Include this folder only" to include a folder but not include subfolders.
5. Changed: Renamed the trailer pre-show selection to "Movie Trailer" so that using the value won't use the trailer field from the file in the Showtime rules.
26.0.20 (1/23/2020)
1. Fixed: Memory leak, especially when syncing libraries back to a server.
1. Changed: Made it so you can remove default library locations (because they might be old and unnecessary).
2. Fixed: Library restores could fail to work if a previous restore set the temporary directory to a directory that used slashes in the wrong direction for the platform.
3. Changed: Made the library creation portion of the benchmark faster again (also speeds up library creation in general).
4. Changed: Updated to Monkey's Audio 5.16.

11. Fixed: The MCWS JSON file list would return an empty file entry instead of an entirely empty list if no files were found.

15. Changed: Updated Italian translation (thanks matteo e massimo).

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).
5. Changed: Updated FFmpeg to 4.2, used for file analysis and transcoding.
Also fixes a long standing crash on playing a video file while being transcoded.
6. Fixed: Setting the tempo with MCWS didn't always take effect right away.

26.0.15 (1/7/2020)

12. NEW: Added a way to rate playlists from Standard View.
13. Fixed: Panel - When playing a file the play command could get sent to multiple zones.
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).
18. NEW: Added a Cover Art lookup from Google for composer images.
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).

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).

48. NEW: Added the program run-time to the Reporter view.
49. Changed: Slovak translation updated (thanks Peter Lukac).

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.

58. Fixed: Webservice calls to get a stack image could cause a crash if the folder was empty.
59. NEW: MC will read "set" tag in newer format (one with child element <name>) as well as in older format (without child element <name>) from NFO sidecar files.
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.

65.
NEW: Update libgnutls/libnettle ssl libraries.25.0.114 (11/11/2019)
1. Fixed: More reliable saving of settings files on normal exit.
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.
4. Fixed: Doing "Paste All From Clipboard" on a list editor in the Tag window would not reliably save the data.
5. Fixed: Editing tags in a popup would not mark them as dirty so they would not be saved.
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).
