}

1. Fixed: Font height calculation.
2. New: Unifont selection on Jessie uses a newer font string.
3. Changed: For AMD64 and ARM builds moved the fonts from recommended to depends.

5. Fixed: Linux MC as renderer couldn't play wave files before they had finished transcoding.
6. Fixed: Linux MC registration via the in player dialog box was randomly failing.
7. Changed: One more tweak to window placement settings.

2. NEW: Full support for native DTS-HD decoding.
3. Fixed: ALAC file support on ARM platforms.
4. Fixed: Freezing on completion of playback of a video item. Most often happened when media network was busy.
5: Changed: UI work. Initial window positioning and hinting to try to handle different Desktop managers.

20.0.95 (4/17/2015)

1. Changed: Full screen startup to allow non-full screen.
2. NEW: Support of old (version < 3.92) APE files.
3. Changed: More UI startup changes. Switching to and from mini skin changed.

1. Changed: alsacap utility displays individual supported sample rates instead of a range.

3. Changed: In /mediaserver mode, the main window is minimized after startup.

20.0.88 (3/30/2015)

1. Fixed: Build 84 broke transcoding to mp3 (as well as ogg and mpc) which would show up in a variety of places including playback to Gizmo and JRemote.

20.0.84 (3/17/2015)

1. Fixed: Multi-threaded video encoding is properly supported.
2. Fixed: When receiving a HUP signal MC was waiting on a event to process resulting in an unnecessary delay in shutdown.

4. Fixed: If an event is received for a window which has been destroyed, don't act on the event.

20.0.80 (3/2/2015)

1. Changed: Updated the FFmpeg version used for file analysis, transcoding and video playback.
2. Changed: Many internal changes. Look for regressions. This will also be available in the "latest" apt repository.

20.0.74 (2/20/2015)

1. Changed: A massive number of internal changes. If you want to help with debugging it'd be nice to try this (we are looking for regressions). Otherwise stick with build 70 for now.

20.0.70 (2/13/2015)

1. Fixed: Aspect Ratio was not correct when transcoding video.
2. Fixed: When syncing files to a mass storage based handheld device forward slashes within artist or album names would cause the destination path to be wrong.

20.0.64 (1/29/2015)

1. Fixed: Crashing on the second open of the audio device settings. The change to fix this is likely to eliminate other mysterious crashes and the intermittent segfault on exit.
2. Fixed: SACD iso playback broken in 20.0.57.
3. Fixed: Avoid importing images.

20.0.61 (1/22/2015)

20.0.57 (1/16/2015)

1. Fixed: DSP Studio presets could not be saved/loaded/deleted.
2. Changed: Internal coding changes to satisfy GCC. Ideally this will do away with some difficult to reproduce bugs.
3. Changed: Desktop file. On Unity systems this will make all of MC's windows to show up at the same Icon in the bar.

20.0.54 (1/8/2014)

1. Changed: Newly created windows should always be in the foreground now.
2. Changes from the mainstream. Note that if you are using client side volume leveling over DLNA and are using MC on multiple platforms, all builds need to be >=20.0.52 for this to continue to work.

For DSD native (non DOP) up to DSD512 you could install special realtime kernel and alsa-git:

1. Changed: Upgraded to cURL library 7.39
2. Fixed: Numeric keypad characters that were being ignored.
3. Fixed: GUI, disabling input in background windows.

20.0.42 (11/21/2014)

1. Fixed: DLNA: MC as renderer, when receiving a SetNextAVtransportURI, MC was allowing the playlist to grow beyond 2 items which is incorrect. This caused playlist sync issues.
2. Fixed: DLNA: MC as controller, fix bug in event send when changing playlist position 1.
3. Fixed: DLNA: MC as controller timing issue, make sure the first track is playing (for at least 5 seconds) before doing the SetNextAVTransportURI function.
4. Fixed: DLNA: MC as controller, when playlist position current +1 changes send a new SetNextAVTransportURI to devices that support it.
5. Fixed: The change from 20.0.31 (Back out library server hiding when the library is empty introduced in 19.0.71) missed the library server visibility (it was showing the DLNA servers).

20.0.33 (11/10/2014)

1. NEW: Support for thumbnail grabbing from video files.
2. Changed: Matrix height correction when using gnu unifont (it's got a bug in it's size specification).

1. Changed: More UI changes. Needs testing.

20.0.22 (10/9/2014)

1. Fixed: Video Playback crashed on stop when playing from a library server.
2. NEW: If using the system volume control and there is no mixer for the PCM device, we'll fall back to using the Master mixer for the device.

20.0.20 (10/2/2014)

1. Fixed: https protocol broken in 20.0.18
2. Changed: Switched to gnutls from openssl for https support because of a bug in the openssl static libs that prevented some websites certificates from being verified (i.e. twitter)

2. New: Video support.

Added lib32-gtk2 as dependency

20.0.7 (8/14/2014)

1. Changed: Reverted to previous device detection scheme. Because of a bug in alsa this can occasionally crash enumerating devices. It fixes detection on some platforms however.

20.0.6 (8/12/2014)

Note: this package will not be updated until end of August for holidays...

19.0.156 (7/24/2014)

5. NEW: Rudimentary portable drive (handheld) support (no autodetect).
6. Changed: Root window move/resize. Position/Size isn't updated until left mouse button is released. Prevents jumping, etc. This will likely change again...

19.0.152 (7/15/2014)

1. Fixed: Detection of mountpoints under /media and /mnt, treated as "drives"
2. NEW: Implemented the functions which allow "Rename, move and copy files" to work.
