# Changes :
* The file association for Windows 8 now opens the Windows file association interface as Microsoft completely locked down any external changes to file association starting with Windows 8.
* In previous versions, trying to play a DVD would initially open a dialog to choose the audio/video decoders to use for DVD playback. Now, If installed, LAV Filters are used as the default audio/video decoders. So now, on a fresh install, you only need to switch to DVD mode and hit play.
* The Shift+"R" keyboard macro has been changed from "reverse aspect ratio" cycle to "video rotation".
* The play next media file in the same directory feature no longer tries to open playlist files which could be abused and cause the feature to play media files outside the original playing folder.
* Incomplete AVI files can now be played using LAV Filters as the source filter, making the 'Gabest AVI Splitter' filter obsolete (and no longer available for download through the install center).
* The Shift+"A" and Alt+"A" keyboard macros for opening the audio decoding filter configuration dialog have been merged into the Alt+"A" macro.
* The active/inactive buttons on skinned dialogs are now clearer.
* The "Still Image" smart play profile is no longer used for GIF images.
* The "Open Item Directory" entry on the playlist editor's right click menu now opens an explorer window with the file highlighted. Previously, only the directory would open.
* The load-playlist button on the playlist editor will now open in the "default media open path" folder if one is specified.
* Updated the HuffYUV Smart Play profile to support HuffYUV files created using ffmpeg/ffdshow encoder.
* Comm API message #6010 now returns the number of files verified to exist on the system.
# Fixes :
* Windows 8.1 multi-monitor DPI is now supported, the Zoom Player user interface will maintain its correct size and sharpness regardless of the monitor's DPI setting.
* Disabling the windows screen saver and monitor powerdown now only works while in fullscreen as intended (previously, the powerdown was completely disabled while Zoom Player was running).
* Trying to shutdown windows while Zoom Player is playing a media file could cause Zoom Player to close improperly.
* Fixed glitch that caused the FPU accuracy to drop, causing sorting issues with files having a time difference of less than a minute.
* Opening a DVD Menu using LAV filters may cause the menu not to refresh properly.
* Under some condition, DVD Fast Forward and Rewind could cause the displayed subtitle to remain fixed on-screen.
* Some settings on the 'Adv. Options / Playback / Video' were accidentally showing a dialog stating a different version of Zoom Player was required.
* Some Play History settings were not being grayed out in the options dialog when they should have been.
* When the multi part file loader feature is set to 'Automatic Match', playing a file with a name comprised only of numbers that converts to a very high value, triggered a crash.
* Trying to use the "Random play a file with the same extension from the playing directory" or "Random play a media file from the playing directory" functions would result in an instant access violation error.
* Using Zoom Player's playlist format to specify the "SR=6" (sort Randomly) tag would result in a corrupted playlist.
* Delayed DVD seeking was always active when seeking backwards, even when the "Delayed DVD seeking" setting was disabled.
* After the operating system has been up for more than 25 days, the mouse double-click functions in the fullscreen navigation interface would cease working.
* Double-clicking the 'previous directory' icon in the media library and file browsing fullscreen navigation interfaces could automatically select a file or folder in the parent directory.
* The "SPACE" button on the virtual keyboard did not work when the text carrot was at the end of the line.
* Trying to seek in a DVD that was authored to disable seeking in certain title will now show an OSD pop-up message informing that this is the case.
* Clicking too quickly on the virtual keyboard keys would type in the same character twice.
* The Smart Play profile for OPUS audio is now using the LAV Audio Decoder by default as the DC-Bass decoder did not properly support all OPUS files.
* DVD that contain disc titles with invalid file name characters now properly save any disc-specific information (such as resume from last position).
* Going up a folder from the fullscreen station navigation function interface would not work correctly and could lead to a crash.
* Opening a web page will now cover the entire display area, ignoring aspect ratio settings.
* Worked around a uTorrent bug that prevented download percentage from appearing in media navigation fullscreen interfaces for certain file names.
* When the "Save Position" checkbox is unticked in the Skins Selection window, while using the "F6" skin mode, clicking the "Switch to Standard User Interface" button did not retain the user interface when switching.
* In F6 mode, clicking the "Switch to Standard User Interface" button doesn't retain the size of the interface when switching has been fixed.
