3. Changed: The ~limit search token will work better with list fields.

7. NEW: Added a Roman(...) expression function to convert to and from roman numerals.

1. Changed: Made YouTube watch URLs like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6HeRdnwOmo work in the Open URL... tool.
2. Fixed: Display/System sleep issues with all previous versions in Big Sur as well as all other MacOS broken in build 27.0.66

4. Changed: Renamed "Reset Selection" to "Clear" in the panes.
5. Changed: Default to the last location at startup instead of the start page.
6. Changed: Right-click on a playlist has the Share command.
7. Fixed: Some video capture devices (such as "Hauppauge WinTV HVR 955Q") did not do well when video was recorded on to a slower hard disk (for example USB drive, in particular USB2 drive).
8. Changed: The season and episode parser for Carnac will not flag 720 or 1080.
9. Changed: Carnac will not use the number in a video named like "IMG_####" for season and episode.
10. Changed: When sharing a playlist or a collection of files (that will become a playlist), the message better indicates a playlist is being shared.
11. Changed: The "Communication with the server failed..." message will not show in the first two minutes after loading a library.
12. Changed: Importing a single folder will allow tag writing from the import rules.
13. NEW: You can now share a playlist (just pick it in the tree) and it will return an MPL file that is playable by Media Center.
14. Changed: If you share multiple files, they will be added to a playlist and the playlist will be shared.
15. Fixed: Some video capture devices did not work well with time-shifting or JTV recording because they dropped too much audio data due to data handling delays.

17. Changed: Some internal change in TV's handling of video capture devices.
18. Fixed: During playback of a channel on Video Capture devices, running right-click > TV Options > Configure TV... would cause video to stop and would not recover afterward.

29. Changed: The highpass slope used by Room Correction can be 36 or 48 dB/octave now (was capped at 24 dB/octave).
30. Changed: When picking DSD low pass filters, the choice of 48 dB/octave is offered for the 30 kHz and 50 kHz values.
31. Fixed: There was a double "the" on the restore library dialog.
32. Changed: Tuned the large font selection sizing so a little bigger fonts will not show the dialog.

27.0.66 (2/12/2021)

5. Fixed: Bug in DLNA conversion to DSF that resulted in popping especially at the end of a file.
6. NEW: When playing a DMS channel associated with a DMS device, the IP address of the channel is checked against the device's current IP address.  If the two are different, MC automatically updates the channel URL to match the device.
7. Changed: Updated Russian translation (thanks Vladimir).
8. Changed: Removed the URLs from the share dialog.
9. NEW: Added "Share" toolbar buttons.
10. Changed: Added URL escapement to the share URLs.
11. Changed: When sharing, a choice is offered about what link to place on the clipboard.

16. Changed: Showing the day for a year only date will show an empty string instead of one.
17. NEW: Added a way to reset your sharing credentials to Options > Media Network (will make all previous shares invalid).
18. Changed: When opening 3 or 5 channel files, we will try to auto-configure as 5.1 and offer that as one of the choices.
19. Changed: When opening 7 channel files, we will try to auto-configure as 7.1 and offer that as one of the choices.
20. Changed: Tweaked the text of the auto-configure dialog to be more clear and to not report the bitdepth (since that isn't the actual output bitdepth).
21. Fixed: Google lyrics lookup could contain junk at the end of the lyrics.
22. Changed: MCWS no longer requires authentication for functions marked to not require authentication.
23. NEW: Added the right-click command Get Sharing URL... to get a URL from MCWS to share externally (it uses your external IP address, so you will need to setup port forwarding on your router).
24. Fixed: TV Channel grouping did not work with DMS channels.
25. NEW: When running "Auto Group" on all TV channels, users are presented with a list of tuner types to select, so one can choose which types of channels are included in the auto group process.
26. Fixed: System and display sleep weren't being prevented when playing audio (via HDMI) or video on macOS Big Sur.

27.0.62 (2/9/2021)

1. Fixed: Crashes could occur in various places (reconfiguring the output plugin on sample rate incompatibility was one).

27.0.61 (2/4/2021)

1. Fixed: Lyrics lookups stopped working.
2. Changed: When opening 3 or 5 channel files, we will try to auto-configure as 5.1 and offer that as one of the choices.
3. Changed: When opening 7 channel files, we will try to auto-configure as 7.1 and offer that as one of the choices.
4. Changed: Tweaked the text of the auto-configure dialog to be more clear and to not report the bitdepth (since that isn't the actual output bitdepth).
5. Fixed: Filling the selected files from Theater View could get all the files instead of just the selected files.
6. Fixed: DLNA server, when the Audio output is set to "Selected Format only when Necessary" wav and mp3 files wouldn't be converted if the output format selected was the same as the input format which prevented DSD studio transformations from being applied.
7. NEW: DLNA conversion to DSD (dsf 1x).
8. Changed: Changed implementation of DMS TV channel playback and recording.  It should behave much better, in particular when playing a channel that is currently recording.
9. Fixed: If MC was started connected to a library server and the user switched to the main library, there were multiple superfluous error boxes popped up.

MC only plays in maximized mode. When I select the green circle to go to "standard" mode, nothing happens. When I select the red circle to exit; it fully quits.

Single-click on MC's title bar to quickly get out of non-maximized mode.
