* BPM Tapper: Revised layout and now slides in. New T key shortcut activates the tapper while deck has the focus. New improved tapping algorithm is more accurate regardless of minor tapping mistakes. Press the T key instead of the spacebar for longer more accurate readings (up to 37 taps). The Return or Y key ends tapping at any time once satisfied.
* Edit Media: Intro times are now accurate to a tenth of a second. You can now explicitly set a cold intro (":00.0") which will be visible in the playlist and library. The new Voice Over back-time feature respects explicitly set cold intros. An intro of :00 (without a tenth placeholder) will be considered unedited for backward compatibility with Voice Overs.

For example, if the length of the voice over track is :30 seconds, and the intro of the following track is :10 seconds, then the following track will automatically start 20 seconds into the voiceover track. While the next track is playing under the voice over it will be attenuated based on the "Mic Attenuation" setting in the Playback preferences.

* New bass and treble controls allow for super deep filters via parametric sweeps. The knobs can rotate counterclockwise multiple times for up to -6x power adjustments. Full backward rotation will nearly filter all sound except the very highest or lowest frequencies. The max value is also 2x more powerful than before.
* New high resolution app icon.
* New improved MPEG-4/MOV/AAC tag reading code.
* New multi-column report window for missing or removed files.
* Ambient Video: Added Video menu command for "Ambient Video Override", which allows you to play Music Video tracks in the main playlist as audio only while Ambient Video is playing.
* Ambient Video: If Video Always Closed menu is checked, it now pauses the Ambient playlist which prevents it from re-opening the video window.
* Ambient Video: When Ambient Video is turned On while a music video is playing then turned off again, it now returns to the main playlist video.
* AppleScript: Added "Insert Category" function.
* Automatic Volume Control is more responsive with a deeper threshold.
* AutoSeg mode is now stored to disk as a preference when changed, rather than at quit.
* Category browser reflects the Library's color and font size preferences.
* Drag-n-drop a track from iTunes into MegaSeg's playlist will no longer cause an error if the track was not able to be imported or found in the library.
* Drag-n-drop in the list displays now shows a ghost image of the track being dragged.
* Drag-n-Drop: Added translucent drag to Scheduler, Open Playlist, Decks, and Log window.
* Edit Categories: Remove old unnecessary block that prevented categories being added that started with non 0-9 and a-z characters (#, !, $, etc.) Also allows for single character categories.

+ many bug fixes

* Events: Fixed an issue when using the Insert Playlist event that would sometimes insert a wrong playlist.

* Events: Fixed a display issue with Select Time/Date dialog. (This also fixes an intermittent crash that could occur.)

* Events: Insert Track event no longer relies on the search box, causing visual interruption to the library or saved playlists view. This also fixes an issue where it would intermittently leave the search display in an odd state (with search results for the text "search"), and possibly insert the wrong track on a rare occasion.

* Events: Insert URL Track or Stream event dialog's pre-download option was moved to the Time of Event dialog that follows it, under the options section. This solves a problem where sometimes you could not adjust the pre-download setting after the re-ordered dialogs in version 5.0. Note pre-downloading is only supported for non-streaming URLS using the Time/Date, Minutes Past Hour, or Every X Minutes event triggers.

* Fixed a maloc double free object error.

* Fixed an issue where UTF-8 text might not be interrupted correctly in the Event list or Log viewer.

* Fixed console warning message regarding AutoRelease Pool.

* Fixed issue with reading certain ID3 comments fields incorrectly, and added safety filter to truncate excessively long tags.

* Fixed warning in console referring to NSDocumentController and CFBundleTypeRole. Role is now defined as Editor.

* Hot Keys: No longer has a playback delay when using an external audio device (e.g. iMic) and a hot key is not used for over 30 seconds.

* ID3 Tags: Added scan for corrupt ID3 tags in library which re-imports a corrected version of the tag automatically (this is checked once per version update).

* ID3 Tags: Created a solution for ID3 tags that are labeled as a Latin-1 encoding but actually are Mac Roman or UTF-8, which would result in possible junk characters.

* ID3 Tags: ID3 v2.4 relative volume tags (RVA2) are now properly supported.

* ID3 Tags: If no TPE1 field is found ("Artist") then it will look for a TPE2 field ("Band/Orchestra"). Most often TPE1 are used for both bands or solo artists.

* ID3 Tags: Improved reading of comment frames including better filters for skipping over iTunes data frames.

* ID3 Tags: Fixed an ID3 v1.1 tag reading bug where it would include leftover text in a field.

* Importing: Added additional checks to prevent importing apps and other bundles.

* Importing: Added support and filters for new iTunes Media file structure.

* Importing: Removes "m4v" extension from Filter Extensions import options preference. This is a one-time removal for previous versions that had this set as a default. You can add this back if you do not want MegaSeg to import music videos with the m4v extension.

* Keep Drive Spinning code now ignores when a Time Capsule is mounted for a Time Machine backup, which should prevent delays.

* Known Issue: The infra-red Apple Remote does not function in "exclusive mode" with Mac OS X 10.6.0 through 10.6.1 (this means iTunes starts and stops in unison with MegaSeg). Apple fixed this problem in the 10.6.2 update released on 11/9/09.

* Library and Playlist displays now draw the last partial row instead of a blank black background when list is at odd heights (not divisible by row height). Clicking this partial row will cause it to autoscroll into full view and be selected.

* Limited display of single-line notes to 128 characters (affects track info popups and log files).

* Logging: The RecentlyPlayed log file can now output the last 30 tracks when using a custom template.

* MIDI: Fixed an issue when in Discrete Output Mode, sending a Preview command for either the left or right deck would cause it to swap outputs and display a preview volume knob.

* Notes search results can be cleared using the "X" in the general search box.

* Optimized logging code regarding notes/comments tag field.

* Playback: Protected AAC files (.m4p extension files) no longer cause a delay and audio dropout the first time one is cued in the playlist. (This issue was recently introduced with a QuickTime, iTunes, or OS X update.)

* Popup info display updates faster when mousing over multiple tracks.

* Preferences: Clicking on the output settings popup menus no longer resets the Discrete Output Mode setting to the default each time.

* Re-Import Tags correctly grabs the publisher tag.

* Reading iTunes XML file to locate the Music Folder location is now UTF8 compatible.

* Reading Notes/Comments from resources now bypass expensive search for missing files which could cause delays.

* Rules: Optimized Artist Separation and Previous Day/Hour code. No longer parses massive strings which could cause dropouts if log files are corrupted with junk tag data.

* Search: Fixed issue where category browser display will be shown after clearing a search even in cases where it was not displayed before starting the search.

* Segue: Fixed a bug where if you click Segue quickly in succession to skip a song that just started, it would not fadeout and continue to play in the background. (This issue only happened when the Fade-Out Time setting was set longer than 0 seconds, and you clicked Segue twice within the Fade-In Time period.)

* Segue: Fixed an issue where if you start a track playing on the left deck, and then stop the playlist (Command-G or Stop Playlist button), then re-start the left deck clicking the deck's Play button, then click Segue or Start Playlist, the song that was playing would not fade out and continue to play.

* Segue: If a long Fade-In Time preference is set (longer than 0 seconds), and you click Segue to start a new song before it completed a fade-in, the audio level no longer jumps to full volume to start the fade-out. The fade-out starts at the current fade-in volume.

* There is no longer a delay when cueing the first track after launching MegaSeg.

* You can now preview streaming URL tracks from the Library without getting a "missing file" error. (Note streaming URL tracks are not currently routable to outputs other than the default system output as set in the System Preferences.)
