1. Changed: DSP Studio > Output Format has better handling of
5.0 sources (supports upmixing to 5.1 / 7.1, and provides better channel mapping when doing 5.1 / 7.1 output with no mixing).

3. Changed: Added optional 'Output delimiter' parameter for ListCombine(...) function so the input and output can use different delimiters.
4. Changed: ListItem(...) and ListCombine(...) expression functions eat white space surround delimiters when building / analyzing lists.
6. Fixed: Publisher and organization flac and ogg
tag writing and reading.
7. Fixed: Ogg tag case sensitivity.

quadrophonic (4.0) sources (supports upmixing to 5.1 / 7.1, and provides better channel mapping when doing 5.1 / 7.1 output with no mixing).
10. Changed:
Mimetype mapping in the DLNA server. This area is undergoing a lot of changes, this will have an effect on playable video files.
15.0.101 (8/27/2010)
1. SDK: When the playback state changes in a non-active zone, it still events through the SDK notifications.
2. NEW: Added '
Add All (as next to play)' choice to Theater View play roller.
3. Fixed:
The Onion was not working in Theater View > News.

Last.fm artist images can be used for Theater View theme background images.

6. NEW: Fading out the playing cover art in Theater View > Playing Now is optional (Options > Theater View > Theme).
7. Changed: When scanning for television channels, MC uses and updates existing channels with matching channel names, instead of creating new channels, in case the channel parameters change. The change applies to DVB-T channels as ATSC channels already behave this way.
8. Changed:
DLNA server mimetypes. The last several builds may have prevented playback of previously playable video files. Need feedback!
9. Changed: Added MPEG video override for
weird DLNA TV's that always want video/mpeg mimetype regardless of the file type. This has been separated from the DLNAExtra flag so if you need this you'll have to check the new option.
10. Fixed: Saving presets was not working with some VST plugins.
