[bugs fixed]

• Fixed occasional crash if display panes are refreshed while editing the filter list.
• Fixed hang if VirtualDub is the active application and attempts to refresh the display panes when a display mode switch occurs.
• Display panes did not always update properly when seeking if Direct3D mode was enabled and updating the frame took a lot of CPU time.
• Direct3D display mode could be activated if checked even if the option was grayed due to DirectX support being disabled.
• Capture: Fixed crash if capture is attempted with audio enabled but audio isn’t present or is in an incompatible format.
• Reversed direction of mouse wheel action to be consistent with Windows.
• Hex editor’s Extract Segment command would sometimes extract the wrong segment due to repainting the main pane during the extract.
• CLI interface app didn’t exit if console was empty prior to invocation due to overzealous Explorer detection. This is now only done if no arguments are supplied.
• Fixed crash in MPEG-1 parser when encountering a pack with a too-short length, such as zero.
• Audio codec errors sometimes reported the wrong source of the error (ie decompressor vs. compressor).

[regressions fixed]

• Pixel shaders were disabled in Direct3D bicubic mode due to debug code mistakenly left in.
• MRU list sometimes didn’t resort properly when reopening a recently opened file.
