6. Changed: Television series artwork is downloaded as part of auto-import's 'Get cover art' option.
7. Changed: Artwork is no longer downloaded when loading the EPG (since the guide uses Internet images, and auto-import handles recordings).
8. Fixed: Existing television series images could get overwritten by auto-import in some cases.
9. Fixed: The Output Format option 'Source is correctly mastered for +10 dB calibration' was not being loaded properly by the options dialog.
10. Fixed: Text drawing could incorrectly break lines so that an opening parenthesis was on one line and the text after it was on the next line.
