File Release Notes and Changelog

Release Name: 1.6.13.24390

Notes:


Changes:
Build 24390 (1.6.13, experimental): [February 26, 2006]
    [features added]
    * Added support for pass-through of PCM audio that has more than 2
      channels.
    * Added limited support for correct seeking when reading AVI files with VBR
      audio. The VBR audio still cannot be written as such in Direct mode,
      however.
    * Added /hexedit command-line switch.
    * Converted help file to HTML Help (.chm) format.
    * Hex editor: Open dialog now persists its "open as read-only" setting.
    * Hex editor: Added keyboard shortcuts for open and save.
    * Hex editor: Stopping a RIFF scan still shows partial info.
    * Capture: Increased speed of audio resampler.
    * Capture: Added ability to fine-tune channel tuning.
    * Capture: The command-line /capstart option can now trigger a capture for
      shorter than one minute using an "s" prefix, i.e. 10s.
    * Capture: The "hide on capture" setting is now auto-saved. 

    [bugs fixed]
    * JPEG files lacking a JFIF or Exim header were not recognized.
    * Error dialogs from Windows on disk or DLL load errors are now suppressed
      for command-line invocations.
    * TARGA files with a width of 1 were not written correctly.
    * Previewing an advanced audio filter graph using a format that the sound
      card could not play led to a deadlock.
    * Attempting to use audio conversion or resampling with an input PCM format
      that was not mono/stereo 8/16-bit led to a crash. For now, attempting to
      do this now throws an error.
    * Fixed redraw problems when adjusting the cropping settings of a video
      filter that is already being cropped on input.
    * Added workaround for broken AVI files that have MP3 audio streams with
      nBlockAlign=0.
    * Fixed audio stream sometimes being truncated when the audio stream's
      nBlockAlign doesn't match its dwSampleSize value.
    * Tabbing now works within the border fields of the cropping dialogs.
    * 16-bit (565) format was using a bogus bit mask for the green channel.
    * Added workaround for livelock when using Creative MP3 codec caused by
      strange PostThreadMessage() call within that codec.
    * When a video filter failed with an error during filter preview, the error
      was not displayed.
    * Fixed clicking in DV type-1 audio decoding when switches in audio
      sampling rate are encountered.
    * Added code to prevent confusion when multiple MP3 audio codecs are
      installed.
    * Capture: Video timing adjustment now defaults to enabled.
    * Capture: Cropping dialog did not always display live video properly if
      preview acceleration wasn't enabled.
    * Capture: Fixed intermittent crash when disabling filtering with a
      DirectShow driver.
    * Capture: An error is now displayed when DirectShow filter graph
      construction fails when starting capture.
    * Capture: The default display mode for DirectShow drivers couldn't be set
      to None.
    * Capture: BT8x8 Tweaker could cause U and V to swap on some cards. 

    [regressions fixed]
    * Filter cropping dialog crashed when no video file was loaded.
    * Redraw requests could cause the output frame to be updated even if the
      output frame was disabled.
    * Capture: Frame rate went crazy when using Set Custom Format with
      DirectShow drivers.
    * Capture: Video codecs received a frame rate that was 1/10th that of the
      correct value (messed up bitrate values accordingly).
