3. Changed: German translation updated (thanks ByteStar).

27. Fixed: When getting the filename field in an expression, the filename slash character won't be replaced by underscores (only slashes in other fields).
28. Changed: Allow URL's with DEFINED CONTENT LENGTHS to be converted to other formats in DLNA. You may select url as a type to convert in the DLNA server Audio advanced options when SPECIFIED FORMAT WHEN NECESSARY is selected.
29. NEW: Let Radio Paradise look one track ahead on playback so it can push the next track to a DLNA renderer that supports SetNextAVTransportURI for gapless support. Since RP is range based like a cue file this REQUIRES the associated DLNA server to be set to SPECIFIED FORMAT or SPECIFIED FORMAT WHEN NECESSARY.
30. NEW: You can perform a case-sensitive search by adding ~case to the search string.
31. Fixed: MC would crash on playing video on a client, if either of the Media Network options - "Disable audio buffer to disk (for low powered systems)" or "Disable video buffer to disk (for low powered systems)", was used.

39. Fixed: Playing Radio JRiver streams would download the MPL instead of play them (for some of the streams).
40. NEW: Page up and page down will increment files when pressed in the Tag Action Window.
41. NEW: Added "Disabled" as one of the choices for read-only authentication.
42. Changed: When editing in the Tag window, clicking another file or switching with page up and page down will keep editing the same field instead of cancelling.
43. Changed: Eating a few more junk responses from Google lyrics lookup.
44. Changed: When drawing lyrics, the lines are trimmed after splitting into lines to remove empty values (which could wrap).
45. Fixed: After uploading a playlist to Cloudplay, the remote files were showing up in main database alongside the local files.

47. Changed: When clicking a large edit field in the Tag window, it will ensure that the "Edit in Popup" button is also visible.

26. Fixed: Pressing Delete during image playback would not trigger a delete of the file (unless the list was in focus).
