2. Fixed: Remote control playback buttons broken for one build.
3. Fixed: Filesize was not getting filled in correctly for Blu-ray titles.
4. Changed: Replay Gain 'Automatic adjustment' mode uses the 95th percentile so that outliers that are extremely quiet don't cause an entire playlist to have its volume reduced too much.

14. Changed: Changing values using the new Tag on Import feature will update file tags to match the changes made.
15. NEW: Audio and video types (MPEG-1, MPEG-2, AC3, AAC, H.264) can be selected during manual editing of television channels. Applicable to DVB-T only.

1. Fixed: MIDI playback was not working.

7. Changed: Updated German language file (thanks Bytestar).
8. NEW: The subtitle engine supports animated SSA karaoke subtitles.
9. Changed: The subtitle engine uses a higher quality outline for text-based drawing.

1. Changed: The right-click menu is no longer disabled in Web views.

4. Fixed: Video in jtv format captured from HD PVR video capture device did not play in Red October HQ.
5. NEW: SSA subtitle engine supports the custom fonts for each style used in the SSA (falls back to user selection when a block of text has no font in its style).
6. Changed: When number keys on a remote control are used to change television channel and the original input string does not match any channel, MC removes beginning '0's from the input string and tries again.
7. Fixed: Replay Gain information was not being used properly when applying DSP to a handheld conversion.
8. Fixed: If DSP is used when converting for a handheld, the new file could have a stale replay gain value written to its tag.
9. Changed: Improved handling of numbers, dashes, etc. in the FixSpacing(...) expression.
10. NEW: Carnac better understands SageTV filenames (use Fill Properties From Filename in automatic mode to update existing files).

12. Fixed: TMDb movie lookup was not always getting the highest quality image available.
13. Changed: Import will only mark a file as bad if it hasn't been changed on the file system for an hour (so auto-import won't put a fresh file copy in the bad database and then remove it when the copy finishes).
14. NEW: Thumbnail text supports basic HTML text formatting tags like bold, underline, italic, and red (remember that slash requires escapement in the expression editor so use , , etc.).
15. Changed: WAV & AIFF tagging are enabled by default (use Plug-in Manager > Input > WAVE & AIFF > Configure to change).
