1. NEW: Playing Now Popup can output an image or text file for external processing (upload, etc.).

3. Changed: The keyboard shortcut (Command+I) closes the Playing Now Popup if it is currently displayed.

5. Fixed: Loading DSP Presets for conversion could crash when loading some VST3 effects.

7. Changed: Re-designed the refresh rate tracking in JRVR for a more accurate VideoClock behavior.
8. Changed: Added Close to Playing Now Popup context menu.
9. Changed: Library backup when connected to a library server makes a settings only backup (requires only checking the settings box when you restore).
10. Changed: Playing Now Popup skin now accepts BackColor="Transparent" to simulate background transparency for the window.
11. Changed: The extra channels in Parametric Equalizer load the number configured and show exactly that many.
12. Fixed: The Playing Now Popup settings dialog could have multiple instances open.
13 Changed: The order channels Parametric Equalizer effect better supports the new extra channels configurations.
14. Fixed: Showing the playing now popup from the right-click menu Settings could crash when closing the dialog.

25. Fixed: The Playing Now popup could show when reordering tracks in Playing Now.
26. Changed: Switched back to making the new channel system optional since it requires a one-time update to some Parametric Equalizer effects.
27. Changed: The new channel layout system defaults to on (and moved settings, so will need to be turned off when wanted).
28. Changed: Analyzer in DSP Studio includes channels not marked as having data (like extra channels) because they could get filled by other DSP.

I'm kicking the tires on the new build and most things are working great.  The upgrade experience was the most seamless it's ever been actually!  I posted some notes about a video issue in another thread, and I wanted to report a few bugs with the playing now popup.

The popup seems to be working pretty well, and I appreciate all the customization options.  I do have three small bug reports:

1) Everytime it pops up it steals focus, so if I'm typing suddenly I lose the rest of the sentence until I reach for the mouse to click back into the window I was working in.  This happens regardless of whether the option to display on top of other windows is checked or unchecked.  I'm seeing this on Gnome with a Wayland session, but if you can't reproduce it I can test in other environments.  There's no loss of focus when the pop-up disappears.
2) Letters that dip below the line (e.g. a lower-case "g") have their bottoms cut off in the display.  It seems unrelated to scaling (same issue with 100% and 200% scaling).
3) And this is a very small quibble, but the pop up on first appearance a) did not follow the scaling set in JRiver, so was very small and b) appeared dead center at the break point between my two monitors.  This is minor because both of those are easily fixed on my end with the options provided, but it might make sense to default to following the scale set in View-->Size and picking a default location in one of the corners of the screen rather than dead center.

The focus stealing will be fixed in the next build.
Craig is looking at the scaling issues.

Thanks for the feedback.
