We're hoping to release the final version by the end of the month, or possibly July 4th. So please report any bug you haven't seen fixed as soon as possible.
Download v4.50 RC1 (http://www.inmatrix.com/files/zoomplayer_beta.shtml)
Changes from v4.50 RC1:
* New Enchancement to the Skinning code, allowing you to
specify a negative group value to make sections of the
skin only activate if the specified skin group is disabled.
* The "fnPLItemUp" and "fnPLItemDown" functions which allow
you to move items up and down within the Play List have
now been assigned keyboard macros of "Alt+PgUp" and
"Alt+PgDn". These functions have also been extended to
update the Play List Navigator, so that you can now
re-order items within the Play List using a remote.
* The Play List Navigator has been enhanced to accept the
Navigational Insert key to toggle selection of the
currently highlighted play list entry. This ties into
the above functions to allow you to re-order multiple
items at once. The color used for file selection
is selectable under "Advanced Options / OSD / Navigators".
* New Button on the Station Editor allowing you to play a new
station by appending the station to the play list instead
of clearing the play list.
* New Communication API Message 1210.
+ The skin selection dialog has been changed so that single
clicking on a selected skin will apply that skin while
double clicking will apply the skin and close the dialog.
+ The Main GUI on the default skin has changed. Some buttons
graphics have been changed to be more windows-centric. The
Eject and Options buttons have been dropped (still accessible
through the keyboard and the right-click context menu).
The Equalizer and Switch to Audio Mode buttons have been moved
in place of the Options and Eject buttons.
The Minimalistic mode button has been removed (still
accessible in several modes through the keyboard F4-F7 keys).
+ The Play List Editor GUI on the default skin has changed.
By default, most of the buttons are no longer visible (their
functionality is accessible through the right-click context
menu). However, by pressing the "+" button, you can have the
Extra Controls appear.
+ The Brownish skin is no longer part of the official distribution,
but would still be available through the Zoom Player Skin site.
- Comm API messages 1603, 1703 wouldn't work if DVD Preferred
Audio/Subtitle selection was enabled in the options dialog.
- The /AR command line did not accept "0" (disabled AR) as
a valid parameter.
- DefaultSetting.exe will now delete "zplayer.local" as well.
- Some language files may have gotten only partially loaded under
some conditions.
- Unicode text may not have been displayed properly in some of
the dialog bevel elements.
- Timeline text may have not been properly centered if unicode
characters were part of the text.
- The "click here to search" text entry on the play list editor
may not have gotten its translated text to appear properly.
- Girder Export Commands got broken again.
- Trying to load an 0 byte play list or playing a non-existant
play list off the internet could cause a crash.
