1. Fixed: Possible crash during playback in rare cases.
2. Changed: Manage TV Channels tool will now show channel details (Device name, URL, etc.) of Tuner Stream channels.
3. Changed: When matching TitanTV TV channels with ATSC channels in MC, we use relaxed matching criteria because TitanTV uses outdated physical channel number on some channels.
4. Changed: When viewing an ATSC channel using TitanTV interface, MC will try matching with a Tuner Stream channel if an ATSC channel is not found.
5. Changed: The ListMix expression function escapes parenthesis in the replacements so they won't disrupt the parser and look like functions.

15. Changed: The OSD doesn't display when playing an image, then jumping to full screen (before it would show the zoom level).
16. Fixed: Starting an image playing and then jumping to Display View would not make the image fill the view.
17. Fixed: The subtitle engine would select the wrong sidecar subtitle files in some situations.
18. Changed: Disabled event notifications for other applications through global broadcast messages, since they can interfere with smooth operation of other applications.
19. Changed: Standardized on ";" for the list delimiter instead of "; " for all the expressions.
20. Changed: Actors, producers, etc. from TheMovieDB are delimited with ";" instead of "; ".
21. Changed: Memory playback turns off when there's less than 256 MB of memory (previously it would still try to allocate that much).

7. Changed: Slovak translation updated (thanks Peter Lukac).
8. NEW: Television option to allow users to pick a specific TV rating system (if available) in XMLTV files.

1.
NEW: First cut at TV support. Requires a DLNA capable tuner device (i.e. HDHomeRun Prime). Needs feedback!
2. Fixed: Fixed a crash reported from when we checked a file to see if it was a Radio Paradise file.
3. Changed: Updated to Monkey's Audio 5.34 (makes JRiver changes from the previous build part of Monkey's Audio).

5. Changed: A message is shown when APE files that are too old are encountered with the URL of the conversion tool.

7. Changed: More work on radio stations that don't play.
8. Changed: Added whitespace trimming to all the list expression functions.
9. Changed: MC as a renderer wasn't providing all of the important metadata when asked by a DLNA controller and that includes another instance of MC not actively controlling (duration, channels, sample rate, size, various artworks). This will also help with third party DLNA controllers showing metadata.
10. Fixed: Wasn't looking at the new name of the ListMix(...) function so escapement wasn't working.
11. Changed: Renamed the Transform(...) function to ListMix(...).
12. Fixed: The variables L1, L2, etc. in Transform(...) wouldn't necessarily be replaced up to the number of lists.
13. Changed: Some more work on the Tranform(...) function to make it better find the right comma (if there are functions) and unescape commas with slashes.
14. Changed: The GroupSummaryQuery function accepts a parameter just like GroupSummary to turn off labeling.

19. NEW: Added BM8 to the playlist import format list (a Winamp playlist).
20. NEW: Chapters are shown on the OSD when seeking to a chapter in a video.

2. Changed: Updated the YouTube API key (should make Theater View work again).

15. NEW: Added the right-click play command "Play From Here" to start playback at a list location and proceed until the end.
16. Changed: Smartlists load linked tracks.1. Changed: When importing an M3U, we count the artists and names and switch them if there are more artists because iTunes does not follow the specification.1. Fixed: The ownership of the display could still become invalid in certain cases.
17. Fixed: Starting in Playing Now would still steal the display away from Display View if you started windowed.
18. Fixed: Seeking with the MCWS function Playback/Position would not work properly with remote zones.
19. Fixed: Jumping to Playing Now no longer triggers if the program is already in Display View (so the display ownership stays correct).

21. Fixed: Stopping after the next track advanced two tracks instead of one in build 42.
22. Changed: Removed the option to advance after stopping after a track (now always advances).
23. Fixed: Lyrics drawing wouldn't work well if the lyrics only had a \n for a newline.
24. Changed: Lyrics drawing lets longer lines stay together.
25. NEW: Lyrics drawing can break the lyrics into pages (right-click > Pages on the lyrics display).
26. Changed: Picking Options > General > Remove files from Playing Now after they are played would not work nicely with the Stop After Next command.
27. Changed: Made picking the option Stop After Playing Track advance to the next track on stop.
28. NEW: Added the expression function TrimLines(...) to standardize and consolidate newlines.
29. Changed: "Tree & View > Advanced > Display missing file image in lists" will now be used in the thread that checks file existence (to avoid shutdown lags, etc.).
30. Fixed: The latitude and longitude would not be read in full resolution from some images.
31. Changed: Reporter shows the audio analyzed and video analyzed on separate lines.

1. Fixed: External encoders, basically MP3 on the Mac, used for file conversion and ringtones.
2. Fixed: Wavpack could not play files over 2GB properly.

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

7. NEW: Added the expression function Find(...) to search for a substring in a string.
8. NEW: Added the expression function Trim(...) to trim non-printable characters and newlines from a string.
