• Updated Properties / ReplayGain page layout if editing a single file.
• Improved Properties dialog performance, list of autocomplete entries is populated asynchronously.
• Enabled embedded album art loading from raw .AAC files with ID3 tags.
• Updated FFmpeg to 4.3.1.
• Added support for playing Matroska A_MS/ACM content.
• Fixes for rare AAC codec configurations that FFmpeg doesn’t fully support – an add-on decoder can override the built-in one for such special cases.
• Decoders are now made aware of output sample rate (from Windows Mixer settings) and can decode certain formats directly to the intended sample rate, skipping potential resampling steps.
• Fixed “fade on manual track change” setting not being used since version 1.6. (beta 6)
• Changing volume no longer affects Windows Mixer sliders; restarting foobar2000 no longer resets Windows Mixer slider to 100%. (beta 7)
• Mitigated crash when initiating drag&drop of a very large number of songs (such as Album List “all music”). (beta 8)
• Enabled support for 7-zip archives using PPMd compression. (beta 8)
