[Pjbexploder-announce] pjbExploder release V 1.0.43

[Michael H. <mi...@ho...>]

I've decided to release .43 on the world.  This has some bug fixes and
enhancements.

This release includes a fix in the core SDK for a bug that can cause =
serious
problems with your TOC (Table of Contents).  Fortunately, the bug is =
hard to
hit, so very few people (perhaps no one other than me!) have been =
affected
by
it.  I recommend updating to this version at your convenience.  This =
fixes
the
bug that was the subject of the 'Backup your PJB!' thread that went =
around
on
the mailing list not too long ago.

Note that if you use other tools based on the PJB SDK, then they likely =
have
this bug.  If you maintain such tools (or can point me to a maintainer),
then I
can help get the fix integrated.

I'd also like to thank N R Mosely for generously donating a 4G =
hard-drive.
Having the extra drive made it much easier to chase down this bug.


The changes!


AllocMap bug fix, and TOC validation

This is a fix in the core SDK.  Once I had the fix for the underlying
problem,
I also created a new menu item ("Tools / Validate TOC...") that will =
look at
your PJB and offer to fix any problems that it finds.


HTML TOC enhancements

The HTML TOC code ("Tools / HTML TOC...") has been substantially =
re-vamped.
The generated HTML should now load on any browser that support JScript =
(was
VBScript before, therefore only IE), and there are now options to:
 - Display times or not
 - Expand Sets (or not) initially
 - Expand Discs (or not) initially

For example, checking 'Expand Sets' and unchecking 'Expand Discs' lets =
you
list
all your discs, and is a reasonable size for printing.


Unicode MP3 tags:

If you use an MP3 tagging program that writes Unicode tags (i.e., =
supports
ID3v2.4), now pjbExploder will read these tags correctly.  Note however =
that
UTF8 format tags are not supported, as I wasn't able create any files =
with
this
kind of data.

Also note that the PJB is *not* Unicode enabled.  All Unicode tags are
converted to Windows code page 1252 before being loaded on the PJB, so =
if
you
have some tags with Japanese or whatever in them, they will still come =
out
as
garbage.


Misc Updates:
 - "Help / PJB 100 group..." points to new group
 - Update installer to version 2.05
 - Installer now autoselects driver installation
 - Enable CDDB lookup by default when ripping
 - Ripping or Add Cue will now populate the 'Recent Additions'
