• New fading capability that works with alternate output modes.
• Default archive reader now supports 7-zip format.
• Added support for WebP album covers (Default UI, Properties dialog). Settings need to be changed to look for folder.webp instead of folder.jpg.
• Removed mixer volume sync feature due to bugs.
• Cleaned up foo_rgscan alter-file-content & alter-opus-header methods.
• Removed obsolete edit-replaygain-info menu command since Properties dialog does the same now.
• Added an option to disregard mouse back/forward buttons (by default mapped to previous/next track).
• Double clicking a line in Properties album art tab now opens a fullsize image viewer.
• Fileops & Converter: Added alternate handling of invalid filename characters, toggled in Advanced Preferences.
• Freedb component updated: now queries all configured servers and displays results grouped by server.
• Updated File Operations & Converter file name pattern picker dialog, now auto selects current pattern on open if possible.
• CDDA reading no longer requires admin privileges on Windows Server.
• Updated autoplaylist editing dialogs, made resizable.
