1. Changed: Updated all translations to the latest strings from the code.
2. NEW: IPTC "Scene Code" tag (XMP "Scene") will be read into, or written from user defined custom field "Scene Code" (a list type). If there is demand, we can create a stock field for it.

4. NEW: Added a Rebuild Thumbnail command to the image right-click menu.
5. Fixed: Black and White (single bit representation) tiff files are now supported.

1. Changed: When writing IPTC core tags (IIM) tag texts are always written in UTF-8 encoding.
2. Fixed: Added a sanity check when reading date/time tags from TIFF images, preventing a crash on malformed files.
3. Changed: Updated Greek translation (thanks Panagiotis).

5. Fixed: "Sublocation" and "Headline" fields were accidentally created as User field.
6. Fixed: Date last rated could get set on import when the file rating came in.
7. Fixed: "Sublocation" and "Headline" fields were flagged for all media types, instead of image-only.
8. Fixed: The OSD was unintentionally showing seconds on the time for the last few builds.
9. Changed: Writing of "Event" tag to XMP is disabled until further notice. Reading is OK.
10. Fixed: Some DSD playback was broken in build 31.0.77.
11. Changed: Tuning of the CoreAudio interface to better handle varying settings, available device sample rates, DSD file opening and added more device logging.
12. Fixed: Issues with the menu bar menu under Sonoma.
31.0.77 (10/19/2023)
1. Changed: The "Source" field added for a few builds is no longer flagged that it must exist, so you can delete it.
2. Changed: When reading image tags, XMP tags will take precedence over IPTC core tags.
3. Changed: (Lightroom written) SupplementalCategories tag (IPTC and XMP) will be read into custom "Subcategories" field, instead of "Supplemental Categories" field.

5. Fixed: Supplemental Categories (Subcategories) tag were not written to XMP.
6. Changed: Only the three-character code is allowed to be saved in the Category tag in IPTC, but free text is allowed in XMP.
7. Changed: When editing an image on a library server client, the changes are sent right away to the server so the thumbnail is updated nicely.
8. Changed: Recently added image-only field "Source" is renamed "Source (Supply Chain)".
9. Changed: Updated the Catalan language (thanks Josep).
10. Changed: Updated a few plural display names for fields (we now merge the plural display name if the display name has not been changed).
11. Changed: Dates are formatted including seconds when they have a value by default (fixes tagging problems with seconds on dates).
12. Changed: Made the manage library field list wider.
13. NEW: Added a new field "Date Last Rated" that gets set any time the rating is changed.
14. Changed: When ripping and replacing, the old files are preserved until the end of the rip so that playlist data can be preserved.
15. NEW: Added a new list type field "Image Label" for image media type, and mapped it to XMP's Label tag.
16. NEW: Added a new field "Source" for image media type, and mapped it to IPTC and XMP "Source" tag.
17. Fixed: The option to resample uncommon sample rates did not save properly.
18. Fixed: Deleting a Podcast episode then playing other episodes next to it would bring the file out of the deleted database so the status would be wrong.
19. NEW: XMP tag "Event" will be read and written if a custom field "Event" has been created.

9. NEW: Added an advanced option to use a new extra channels routing system which revises how extra channels are handled so they are less likely to cause unexpected mixing (for example, picking 5.1 with 10 extra caused the SL/SR to go away) (Options > General > Advanced).
10. Fixed: Tag window selection could lag in some cases (was trying to animate, now it just renders immediately).

1. Changed: Internal changes in JRVR how the settings are handled.
2. NEW: Advanced option for JRVR to enable changing any libplacebo settings for testing purposes.
3. Fixed: Buttons could lag when switching states on mouse over. Now they respond to mouse movement, so should change right away.

4. Changed: Updated the Kodi NFO support to differentiate between <ratings> and <userratings> properly.
5. Fixed: When recording TV shows in TS format, the initial bookmarks might be wrong, especially when recording was started later than the actual program start time.

10. Changed: Tagging of EXIF datetime tags will use format "yyyy:MM:dd 00:00:00" for dates without time, instead of "yyyy:MM:dd : : " so that Google Photos will recognize it.
