1. NEW: Television tool "Manage Channels" has a "Rescan" button to allow rescan for new channels in a selected tuner type profile.

20.0.77 (2/25/2015)
1. Fixed: Television channel to xmltvID auto matching did not work for DVB (and possibly analog) channels due to channel number in front of name in channel names.

6. NEW: Quick Find Cover Art supports the filenaming [Artist] - [Album].
7. Fixed: The options dialog listed an option for Sound Recorder in Options > Encoding.

1. Fixed: Starting playback with the play button from a grouped list control with nothing selected wasn't working.
2. Changed: Updated Japanese translation (
thanks Kazuo!).
3. Changed: Made SRC only use the high precision mode for audio playback (because it was causing timing issues for video playback).
4. NEW: Made a toolbar button 'Toggle Tree' that toggles the visibility of the main tree.
5. Fixed:
YouTube searching would be slow because we were unintentionally loading the dimensions of all the images.
6. Changed: Moved the buttons on Manage Channels dialog window to the right side to make more room for channels list.
7. Changed: More reshuffling of Television property page (still on-going).
20.0.68 (2/10/2015)

thanks Peter Lukac).
3. NEW: Added an option in Theater View -> Behavior to disable the Left-Edge jump to the top roller in Grid views.
4. Fixed: Transitioning from an image to a video in a playlist was not working properly.
5. Changed: On Manage Channels dialog window, a checkbox in the "Favorite" or "Hidden" column will toggle only if one clicks on or very near the checkbox, to prevent accidental toggling.
6. Fixed: The additional audio delay from the resampler changes in 20.0.67 was not being compensated properly.
20.0.67 (2/6/2015)

NEW: The image editor can save PNG files (just use a PNG extension on the save filename).
5. Changed: Made tagging in Theater View optional in Options > Theater View > Behavior.
6. Fixed: The previous / next buttons on a
mixed list of images and videos would stall at the images.
7.
NEW: Audio input selection during television setup for Set-top Box or Capture-only channels.
8. Changed: Switched the resampler to high precision mode (testing appreciated).
9. Changed: The Tag Action Window no longer shows a full page when editing a list style field but instead uses an inplace edit.
20.0.66 (2/4/2015)
1. Fixed: Doing a play on a grouped artist, etc. tile would expand the files in a fixed way instead of using the sorting of the bottom list.
2. Changed: The
WDM driver is only installed on Vista and newer (was probably causing an install issue on XP).
3. Fixed: There was quite a long delay at the start of audio CD burning and the main thread could get stalled for a while.
4. Changed: The string sorter doesn't interpret a dash as a negative sign unless it's right after a space or it's the first character in the line (should fix mystery sort issues with dash delimited data).
5. Fixed: MC could not play
ALAC files with very high sample rate.
