* Importing iTunes libraries will no longer trigger a hang.
* Using the the Windows Media Playback and QuickTime Playback add-ons weÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ve brought back the ability to play pre-authorized DRM media: WMA DRM on Windows; Fairplay on Windows and Mac.
* mashTape has been updated and will no longer invoke Flash player security warnings.
* WeÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ve adjusted the buffer size for streaming media but weÃ¢â‚¬â„¢re still working on the final setting. If you think itÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s too high you can adjust it by following these steps.
* Video support has been temporarily removed from the application. Our move to GStreamer introduced some new video related bugs that couldnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t be addressed in time for this release. Since video has been an unsupported feature we decided that this was the prudent thing to do for now. You can absolutely count on us re-introducing video support in a future release down the road!
* When viewing Album art at fullsize you can now easily close the window.
* When clicking on a track in the library invoking inline editing of metadata is now less likely to appear when you werenÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t looking for it.
* We resolved a number of bugs that could crash the application (thanks for always submitting your crash reports. Your anonymous data really helps us track down issues!)
