ftp://ftp.jriver.com/pub/downloads/MC12/MediaCenter120494.exe12.0.494 (5/7/2008)
1. Fixed: Theater View weather was not working.
2. Changed: Theater View weather shows external links at the bottom of the forecast list. (required by Weather.com license)
3. Fixed: Videos not getting imported (acquired) from some cameras.
4. Optimized: Picking a pane value no longer updates panes to the left. (only applies when bidirectional filtering is disabled)
5. Optimized: Improved how panes query the database to reduce the number of searches run.
6. Optimized: Panes use less memory.
7. Fixed: Smartlist editor would not work nicely with fields that had more than 100,000 choices.
8. Optimized: Grouping library fields (panes, tile views, etc.) is faster.
12.0.493 (5/6/2008)
1. Fixed: TWAIN scanning was not working properly.
2. Optimized: Panes with many items fill and refresh much faster.
3. Fixed: Edit Image changes were not being applied to pix01 galleries.
4. Fixed: (Hopefully fixed) When switching digital TV channel immediately after starting another channel, MC would sometimes behave strangely.
5. Changed: On the right click menu. Play and Add to Playing Now will not honor position. Creating a stack will honor the position.
6. NEW: Added option to ignore (and not ignore) leading articles (a, an & the) in artist names when transferred to an iPod.
7. Fixed: Tab controls could obscure internal controls.
8. Fixed: Thumbnails could be erroneously reset during thumbnail database compacting.
9. Fixed: Using the /SilentImport command when the program was not running could cause a crash.
10. Changed: When drawing multiline text, if all the lines can't be rendered, a ... will be added to the end of the last line.
11. Fixed: Some Action Window text would not truncate properly when the window was too small to display it all.

1. Optimized: Panes fill and refresh faster.
12.0.491 (5/2/2008)
1. NEW: New internal database format used to store filenames, reducing total memory footprint of the database by over 50% in many cases.
2. Fixed: When filling cover art from a URL, the image could be unnecessarily reencoded as a new JPEG. (non-JPEG images are intentionally converted to JPEG)
3. Optimized: Removing files from a large Playing Now or large playlist is much faster.
4. Fixed: Printer configuration button in Print Wizard would not show the printer properties.
5. Optimized: Improved performance of database saving.
6. Fixed: Recommendation engine could stall MC's shutdown process.
7. Changed: DVD player now can handle aspect ratio correctly even if the video is resized by a post-processing filter (e.g. FFDShow).
