minimum requirement MacOS 10.11)
29.0.58 (6/3/2022)
1. Fixed: When sizing a large edit in the Tag window editor the scroll position could move down.
2. Fixed: Switching between the legacy and modern tag editing windows could crash in some cases.
3. Changed: Updated the Catalan language (thanks Josep!).
4. Changed: Spotlight uses background and text colors from current skin (click Refresh to clear Spotlight cache to see changes).
5. NEW: You can search all library fields by using [all]= at the start of the search.
6. Fixed: During DSD to PCM conversion, the output sample rate reported by Audio Path could be off by 8x.
7. Fixed: The lyrics page could be scrolled incorrectly after resizing. Now a "Home" is issued whenever the scrollbar requirement changes in an edit.
8. Fixed: Web based views like trackinfos had window layering issues. This was because of a previous fix to keep the seek bar visible during video playback, that fix has been re-done in a different way.
29.0.56 (5/31/2022)
1. Fixed: Back from Spotlight in Theater View was not returning to file view.
2. Changed: The mouse wheel over large edits or lists in the Action Window will be consumed by that control instead of promoted to the container when a scrollbar isn't needed (which stops editing and scrolls to the next field).
3. Changed: The "Tag Dump" in the new tag Action Window uses the ideal height of the entire dump instead of a fixed number.
4. Fixed: A new template would not load when doing "Refresh" in the Tag Action Window.
5. Changed: Data file image lookup is only done on files with a media sub type of "Book".
29.0.54 (5/27/2002)
1. NEW: Scroll zoom with the mouse wheel or trackpad for image playback implemented.
2. Changed: Reverted the optimization that resulted in a slower benchmark in build 50, now turned to speed only and it's significantly faster (on M1) then previous builds.
3. Changed: In image playback, left-clicking the image will no longer zoom in or out.
4. NEW: MCWS function Television/GetRecordingScheduleXML that returns TV recording schedule in a single xml-formatted string, instead of an enumerated multiple return strings that previous function Television/GetRecordingSchedule returns.
5. NEW: Added a Refresh command to the Tag Action Window to reload.
6. Changed: The tag window opens values at the full height of the tag window when editing something big like lyrics.
7. Changed: Updated Greek translation (thanks Panagiotis).
8. NEW: Tag windows show an option to switch between the modern and legacy tag editors (the shift shortcut has been removed).
9. Fixed: The new right-click menu to expand and collapse all was taking over for all fields in the Tag window.
10. Changed: Spotlight movie and TV content uses Wikipedia language setting.
11. NEW: MCWS function Television/GetRecordingScheduleXML that returns TV recording schedule in a single xml-formatted string, instead of an enumerated multiple return strings that previous function Television/GetRecordingSchedule returns.
12. NEW: Spotlight for TV Shows and TV Credits for people added.
13. NEW: The tag window offers a right-click menu on group headers with the ability to expand all groups or collapse all groups.
14. Fixed: The mouse wheel in the Tag Action Window would sometimes still not work with the inner most control.
15. Fixed: The new Wikipedia data lookup could crash on lookup failures.
16. Fixed: When playing images, if a Playing Now tab was open, it would just switch to that tab instead of showing Display View.
17. NEW: Data files (like books) can lookup images from the internet. The name field is used for a Wikipedia search.
29.0.50 (5/19/2022)
1. Changed: Slovak translation updated (thanks Peter Lukac).
2. Changed: Spotlight: display year in Movie Credits and ignore credits without a year.
3. Changed: Spotlight: display birth and death dates for actor/director.
4. Changed: Spotlight: increase height of horizontal scroll bars and make some caption text bold.
5. Fixed: Spotlight: Similar Artists are retrieved in English.
6. Fixed: Allow seeking to the end byte of a buffered internet file. The previous behavior broke opus playback over media network (and probably others).
7. Changed: Rebuilding the thumbnail on a library server client will make a rebuild request to the server so it won't just return the same cached thumbnail (testing appreciated).
8. Changed: Quick Find Cover Art on a client issues the request to the server.
9. Changed: When scrollable edit controls are inside scrollable windows (like Manage Library Fields) the mouse wheel will only operate the inner most window.
10. Changed: The Tag window has the same scroll behavior where the mouse wheel will run something like Tag Dump if it's over that instead of the outer container.
11. Changed: Spotlight shows "recommended" movies instead of "similar".
12. Changed: Updated German translation file (thanks Bytestar).
13. Fixed: MC could hang if there have been consecutive errors on a TV tuner in a short period of time.
14. Fixed: Duplicate set of DMS channels were created if manual channel setup was run after MC already created the DMS channels automatically (for HDHomeRun devices).
15. NEW: Spotlight for Actors/Directors added and displayed when you click on a cast member in movie Spotlight.

5. Changed: Cover art from the show command will be extracted to the temporary folder and stay until MC is restarted (previously we were deleting a temporary file before it could be shown).
6. NEW: Added MCC_PLAY_SELECTED (10069) to play the selected files (0: play replace, 1: append, 2: play next).
