2. Fixed: Customizing some burn settings like the between tracks mode would not work properly.
3. Changed: Parametric Equalizer only exposes channels above the standard 8 if DSP Studio > Output Format > Channels is configured to use more (also allows accessing up to 32 channels with Parametric Equalizer when using that many channels).
4. Fixed: When making a change in a Parametric Equalizer filter and then immediately switching to a different filter or DSP, the changes could be lost.
5. Changed: With the low and high shelf filters in Parametric Equalizer, the bandwidth setting alters the slope (previously it was ignored).

18.0.89 (12/5/2012)

1. Fixed: A few command line issues.

18.0.88 (12/4/2012)

1. NEW: ZoneSwitch feature that can route playback to zones based on rules (Menu > Player > Zones > ZoneSwitch...).
2. Fixed: Shell extensions were not working due to command line changes in build 85.

5. Changed: Improved how Theater View 3d lists interact with touch.

18.0.86 (12/3/2012)

1. Fixed: If Theater View failed to create a device (possibly because of madVR exclusive), it could crash instead of retrying or showing an informative message.
2. Fixed: A few command line things were not working properly with build 85.

18.0.85 (11/30/2012)

1. SDK: Added command line option /ShowTreePath. For example: MC18.exe /ShowTreePath Audio\Recent
2. Changed: Revised command line system used by the main program and the launcher (should be internal change, but please report any issues).
3. Fixed: ID3v2 tags that used UTF-16 for the description field of the image frame (APIC) would not load properly.

18.0.84 (11/30/2012)

1. Changed: The popup message box is replaced with OSD message when starting a television channel in low disk space condition. The popup could not be seen because it hid behind the main window.

1. NEW: Live playback (ASIO line-in and WASAPI loopback) are available with File > Open Live...
2. [NEW: Created a new latency management algorithm for live playback that better copes with DSPs that work in large blocks like convolution.
3. Changed: The Tag Action Window shows a truncation tooltip on mouse-over for any field name that isn't displayed completely.
4. Fixed: Deleting a zone while it was playing would cause a crash.
5. Fixed: In some cases the Last.fm cache of similar artists would not work properly, causing Play Doctor to be slower than necessary.
6. Fixed: Zone linking and unlinking in conjunction with Play Doctor could lead to problems in some cases.
7. Changed: When a Blu-ray or DVD disc is temporarily unavailable, we no longer pop-up a message box. Instead, the list view for the disc shows appropriate text about the situation.
8. Fixed: Pane tagging could crash when picking the new value entry for a non-field type category.
9. Faster: The Theater View caption / template system is around 200x faster picking templates for files (should make file and guide views noticeably faster).
10. Fixed: After doing a Ctrl+A, a list could reset the selection to only the first item if the focus shifted.
11. Changed: Keyboard navigation in the main tree skips items that redirect to other items like the root of 'Audio', etc.

4. Changed: Keyboard navigation in a tree no longer triggers auto-expand (use left/right to toggle expansion).
5. Changed: Left/right navigation in the panes works more logically with nested pane values (left/right does expansion on a parent item and switches panes on any other item).
6. Fixed: If starting Play Doctor playback encountered an error, it could crash.
7. Fixed: The Auto-Import dialog could crash with a pure virtual function call (hopefully fixed but unable to reproduce, so please report any problems).
8. Fixed: The 'Close' button on the top right of the bottom list in a library view had incorrect vertical text alignment.
9. Fixed: Vertical text alignment of the main player text could be off a little.
10. Fixed: Closing the program in Media Server mode could leave a view on the screen in some cases when using a glass-based skin.
11. Fixed: In edit controls with spell-checking, the red underline could draw in the wrong spot.
12. NEW: Added WASAPI - Event Style option 'Mute on start (eliminates hardware clicks when starting some hardware)'. May help DoP / PCM transitions on certain hardware (feedback appreciated).

18.0.79 (11/26/2012)

2. Changed: "Play local file if one that matches Library Server file is found" does not apply to jtv files.
3. Fixed: When a button transitioned states, it would animate a larger area of the UI than necessary (causing worse performance, and sometimes dueling animation).
4. Changed: Switched COM automation underpinnings away from MFC (should be internal change, but please report any new issues with plugins).
5. Changed: Updated Chinese language file. Thanks kelijun.
6. Changed: Removed remaining MFC from main program (some features will be unavailable for a while).

8. Fixed: Maximizing options could cause clicking in the list to stop working.

18.0.77 (11/16/2012)

1. Fixed: Podcast webpage views were not working nicely with glass-based skins.
2. Fixed: The tooltip on the volume slider would not update while mouse-wheeling to show the new volume.
3. Fixed: If a panes view used the default sorting, right-click and double-click on a pane value could use files in a random order (instead of respecting the default sorting).
4. Fixed: ALAC mp4 files created in MC did not work in iPods because iPods do not support the newer MPEG-4 standard.
5. Fixed: Typed navigation in the panes could behave incorrectly if a pane item got selected that was particularly slow to evaluate.

6. Fixed: Main menu shortcuts like alt+f, etc. were not working properly.
7. Changed: In live TV for clients, if a client requests a channel change (of the same channel type), and the tuner on the server is serving that client alone, the channel change will be directly honored without having to load a new tuner.
8. Fixed: Switching between the Podcast root and Podcast home views could lead to problems.
9. Changed: Updated Facebook upload user interface (and fixed a few issues).
10. Changed: Facebook upload uses 1080p as the maximum size.
