The Conjugial Version

The History of d53 is every change i've made to d52: in REVERSE chronological order (latest at TOP)

Yeah, i've come to the conclusion that the version numbering is just too counter intuitive for mortal men, so in the next major release, i'll change it so the history page number MATCHES the version number ~~(we'll skip right to d54)~~ OMG we're going to go to Alpha 1!!.

Please follow me on the twitters!

d52r62 Aug 24, 2012

Lite Mac, Pro Mac, Lite Win, Pro Win

Windows
- fixed missing icon warning on startup
- fixed infinite recursion icon warning when opening music store prefs window
- the Sources panel now sorts correctly
- that is all

d52r61 Aug 21, 2012

Lite Mac, Pro Mac, Lite Win, Pro Win

Windows
- fixed ability to burn (no more "invalid pointer")
- icons are now pre-loaded. this will lengthen startup time by a few seconds, but makes the app feel snappier later
- Preferences now has icons next to each pref panel name
Mac
- "Music Stores" pref window is retina.
- TriceraSoft pref panel now has button that lets you see your previous downloads, and re-download them
- the Video window would get small for Exposé and Mission Control, now it stays in place
- the little red tick marks which mark the song trim start/end times are back
FIXED CRASH: when using producer, pressing the space bar when the font panel is front
FIXED CRASH: on startup, if kjams needs to rename a playlist, a CD, or the venue
FIXED CRASH: if you have a NULL song selected and you go to delete it (cuz who wants a null song, right?)
FIXED CRASH: when using "pre-cache" context menu command if you haven't played a song yet after launching
THE BIG CHANGE: the music store prefs are now inside their own sub-dialog, now the window can fit on your small screen
the song "Name" sort column can now go a bit wider
Pre-cache is not available when you're IN a music store.
sync-slipping is not available when you're in Producer
Pro: web server now allows you to set Tempo
sorry, but Chartbuster is gone for now. DigiTrax coming soon
if there's an error renaming a playlist, the error message actually works
fixed streaming on slow networks: the timeout was hard coded. now it is hooked to the "freedb timeout" pref. set it to like 2 minutes (240 seconds)
media stream dialog now when you save the defaults (option-ok), kjams remembers the alignment of the text, also other stuff is more properly saved but you probably were not affected by that
Music store names are now localized, tho this may be wrong ;)
more logging if kjams can't upgrade an old "ktunes" name to "kjams"
web client can no longer delete the currently playing song

d52r60 Aug 3, 2012

Lite Mac, Pro Mac, Lite Win, Pro Win

fixed crash on startup for windows

d52r59 Aug 3, 2012

Lite Mac, Pro Mac, Lite Win, Pro Win

Windows
- no longer crashes trying to play WMV files, but it won't play them either (yet)
Mac
- fixed bug where it would complain you need Perian if you try to play an MPEG file, when you didn't
- the Progress dialog is now retina. note: dialogs are hard, each one must be switched to Nibs (from resources), so they'll trickle in slowly.
- the "Icon, Message, Checkbox and 3 Buttons" dialog is now retina
- the "text input" dialog is now retina.
- retina dialogs gain the ability to drag them around regardless of processing, and the ability to tab thru all the buttons (if you have this turned on: apple->system prefs->keyboard->keyboard shortcuts->Full keyboard access->all controls)
- activity window progress bars *Really* look correct now.
- if you drop music files onto the kJams icon, you are now (correctly) asked if you want to "copy/move" or "reference"
FEATURE: you can now "pre-cache" a song by right clicking it and picking the command from the menu (works on singers too)
FEATURE: you can now "mark as sung" a song in the "KJ Rotation" playlist (not the Rotation)
when a song is marked as sung (in any way), the browser will update later by sending a new command to the event que, rather than updating it *now*. trying to isolate the crashes here.
Tempo is now correctly set as a float, so wtkJams can display it correctly
fixed a spooler hang (infinite progress bar) under certain error conditions
support for showing "last sung time" and put a song into faves from the Rotation list, for wtkJams
fixed a non-obvious bug where numbers were getting truncated when putting them into dictionaries (a catalog of numbers). this mostly didn't affect you, but it bothered me, and prevented wtkJams from working right (see above)
the "Karaoke Locker" purchase URL has been updated
fixed a crasher that happens just as a new song is going to play (was updating the microphone, and doing things on a back thread that are only legal on the main thread)
fixed total failure of KJPro and freedb and friends
also fixed problems arising AFTER you tried to use the above (volume went offline or whatever error message)

d52r58 Jul 18, 2012

Lite Mac, Pro Mac, Lite Win, Pro Win

Mac
- kJams again will run on Intel 10.4 systems
- if when you go to stream/purchase a song, you deny the access to your keychain, it will just halt the current action gracefully, and not bombard you with errors and pleas to fix your credit card settings
- If you don't have Perian installed, and you try to play a media type that requires Perian, you get a nice warning, rather than crashing and errors up the wazoo
- Opening Producer is a tiny bit more robust. (no, not really)
- in AppleScripting, and this is crazy, if you ask for the app version right after you get the video display ID, then you'll get the name of the current song instead of the version. this is only for crazy people.
- oops i forgot to TURN ON retina display for the release version. fixed. there, now you have retina!
Windows
- The help buttons actually work in freedb & Tags, and in Tags the "Edit" button works too!
fixed an assert when exporting pitch-bent movies
fixed "auto-cue" to be a wee bit faster
if you hit the stop sign on a streaming song's pre-cache download, it will stop gracefully and not tell you there was a problem with the internet connection or your credit card
wtkJams CSV export now includes rating, and you no longer have to select the Library first
if you happen to name a folder "kJams Music" that is not actually the "kJams Music" folder, and you put the "kJams" folder inside that (wow), kJams will still be able to find your music if you move your "kJams" folder
on first run, kjams would ask you for your email address, then complain that it REALLY needs it even tho you just gave it. fixed. dork.
when you add to library, kjams will remember what you picked between "reference" and "copy/move", and will default to that next time, so you can just press ENTER
if you pick "reference", and it's on the desktop or in the downloads folder, and you get the warning that it's going to move it anyway, you can now hit cancel
QuickTime playback and scrubbing should not be any different, tho the code was tweaked
the help button in the Reinterpret dialog now takes you here
there's a new "Tags" pref: "Update Media Meta Tags", don't you dare turn that off!

d52r57 July 9, 2012

Lite Mac, Pro Mac, Lite Win, Pro Win

Windows
- a bit of logging if you get the error "There was a problem initializing audio output"
- I *may* have fixed the bug about "it_taskP == taskP"
- browser buttons now draw with correct alpha (premul-black, rather than straight) (no more bad halo)
- fixed the assert-crash when you slowly double-click on a playlist name
Mac
- the progress bars in the Activity window look a little more like they're meant to, now they update more frequently too
- the Video window and the Activity window look good on Retina displays. i'm working on the Browser window but it will take much more time
- browser window now works on retina. some controls are low-rez.
- started work on getting dialogs to look good on Retina, the only one i'm doing to start is the progress dialog
- progress dialog now almost works on retina, disabled 'till i get the "stop" button working
- all drawing in Browser window is now done with Quartz (required for retina)
- Fixed a keychain error that would crash you on OS 10.4. ~~Note: i have no computer to test on 10.4 right now! please let me know of problems!!~~
- fixed ability to run on 10.4, was crashing on startup for some
- Producer: you can no longer open Producer on a music store song (it would crash before)
- "Buy Song" buttons now honor both retina and browser font size
- when you click-drag on a button, and you go in and out over and over, the alpha fringe no longer accumulates in an ugly way
- when drag and dropping a track, no longer get the beachball
- the PPC version of kJams again works on G3 computers (wow, broke way back on Jan 14 2011 last year)
- the PPC version of kJams can again serve on port 80, and can remember your auth settings for making files writable
- the PPC version can again take advantage of 10.5 functions when available
- the PPC version again has properly drawn Icons (they were halo'd by black for a minute)
the singer's icon no longer shows a speaker on it when there is no song playing
if initiating a stream download fails, it times out immediately rather than in 2 minutes
when you try to play a song with missing audio, it asks you to find it (again! how many times have i fixed that?)
really *really* fixed the bug where if a singer had a song who's title had square brackets, it would cause the Rotation showscreen to show totally messed up info.
the disc reader will now cache the values of what blocks to ignore errors on, rather than asking each time
on startup, the Venue playlist will now be given the name of the venue right at the start, rather than calling it "Singers" and changing it later. This fixes the bug of when it doesn't get set properly later.
if you go to play a KMA song and it's missing, you get the "it's missing" dialog, rather than nothing
Pro: Fixed the "Who's up next" rotation list: now includes the next song to be played instead of skipping it, when no song is currently playing
fixed playlist re-ordering bug when done by server (sometimes would ALLOW you to change CURRENTLY PLAYING song, which is illegal)
on startup, you no longer get lots of "tried to get task mgr, but no tasks window" log messages
fixed assert "columsRef.Get() == NULL"
fixed crash when you try to burn, would try to draw the "spinning pinwheel" animation frame 15, when there are only 14 frames
when dropping a BIN file onto kjams, you don't get asked to import or reference, it's a reference
when you import a song, kJams will *always* check to make sure it's not on a file system that is either Case Sensitive or NTFS. Previously, if kJams wanted to tell you that you can't "reference" from the desktop or downloads, it would forget to check.
fixed a crash/hang bug when enablig the web server if there was any kind of error
you can now export a special "wtkJams" CSV file for use with "Where's the Karaoke"
when you're using a web client, iJams, or wtkJams to search for just artist or song title, it will now work fine regardless of what columns are (or are not) showing in the browser window
all the icons shown in the Browser window are now high rez (ready for retina)
when using "Capital Case" or "Title Case", "Elo" will become "ELO"
on 10.4, the metal background will draw behind all the buttons correctly. Still a bit busted on 10.5 and onward

d52r56 June 11, 2012

Lite Mac, Pro Mac, Lite Win, Pro Win

fixed problem (just introduced last night) with purchasing songs where it would say you had bad credit card data

d52r55 Jun 10, 2012

Lite Mac, Pro Mac, Lite Win, Pro Win

fixed a NASTY bug in the Pro server where a singer would submit a song they searched for but it would submit the wrong song!
when a music store has an update, the notify dialog no longer overlaps other dialogs (they now come one at a time)
you can now easily change the case of a playlist/singer (upper or lower case)
Mac: keychain: was leaking a keychain item, fixed
the "Song ID" column can be made wider
"Is KJ" now sorts the checked ones at top, unchecked at bottom (going smallest to largest, yes this is the opposite of logical, but it is intuitive)
i now completely remove the word " [karaoke]" from any song name shown in the rotation showscreen, cuz we all know what it is or we wouldn't be here

d52r54 Jun 8, 2012

Lite Mac, Pro Mac, Lite Win, Pro Win

BIG-ASS FEATURE: when you do "add to library", kJams can now optionally copy/move your files for you (rather than referencing). --> this opens the door for "keep library organized" and "consolidate library" features
Fixed crash: when you've not set your country in the one click settings, crash when using music stores
fixed another crash on quit
fixed crash when deleting songs
fixed crash when you were asked to send the log file upon Tricera store declining your credit card
wtkJams can now show the Rotation
you are now prevented from referencing song files on the desktop or in the downloads folder.
when ripping from CD, if there's an error, we now still call the completion proc. not doing so was the source of several kinds of downstream errors
tweaked a bunch of code related to mounting a CD, and mounting a BIN/CUE CD image. added ability to mount two kinds of fake disc "images" (with no content) so i can better test meta data fetch / submit / editing on CDs.
CD TOC numbers are now logged correctly
CUE files are now logged correctly (to match)
if you had any kind of error while re-encoding or exporting quicktime, kjams would choke on a chicken bone but you might not know it until you try to quit, at which point it would hang
doing a "reveal" on a CD will now show you the CD in the file system. if it's a disc image, it'll show you the disc image file.
apparently chartbuster customer IDs can be four digits, so this is now allowed (you used to have to add a zero to the front)
a Singer can now be marked as a KJ (right click). A KJ Singer has special privileges, like the ability to control the Rotation from an iPad, for example. no, it's not available yet.
a KJ Singer icon is drawn with sunglasses (cuz they're even cooler than regular singers) and is drawn in "outline" font
the Server has been updated to enable the KJ Singer, tho this is not tested. the client has NOT been updated.
the singer's "Present" column can now be made wider
~~even MORE logging WRT the "country" code for CC purchases. almost there!~~ FIXED!
fixed a problem where the log file could not be created IF there was a dash in the log file path (eg: the user name had a dash in it)
more logging in "FSrFindOrCreateFolder", to track down a bug
more logging in "Find_or_Create_MyFolder
during quit, selecting a playlist does nothing (optimizing the quit process). fixes crash on quit for some windows users.
the message "Could not update meta data for song" had bad curly quotes: fixed
music stores no longer ask "copy or reference" cuz it's always a reference (since the file is already on your hard drive)
even more logging about that "it_taskP == taskP" assert
curly quotes are now ALLOWED in your file names
no longer allowing duplicate songs in a singer's Tonight list (so if the singer hits "submit" ten times on the same song you only get ONE song). Actually, ALL singer lists are now only allowed one copy of a song.
can no longer use the edit menu when quitting
fixed bug when showing a Rotation ShowScreen, where if a song name had square brackets in it [like this], it would totally break the ability to show data, and you'd get duplicate entries. now, we just replace the brackets with parens, then show the screen, and all works fine.
fixed a bug where corrupted zip files would not be marked as corrupted! so you had no way of knowing which files to delete
zip files that have an audio file of zero size are now also considered corrupted
Mac
- in the Disc Picker dialog, you can now use the ESC key to cancel
- fixed audio in/out such that you can change System prefs WHILE kjams is running, and kjams will honor your settings (would cause it to seem like kjams would not respect the system prefs settings, or that they would reset to something else for no reason)
Windows
- fixed crash when you use the TAB key in the Search field
- fixed crash if you double click several times on an item to edit it
- added more logging WRT crash on quit
- context menu accidentally said "Reveal in Finder", fixed to be "Reveal in Explorer"

d52r51 May 18, 2012

Lite Mac, Pro Mac, Lite Win, Pro Win

I've renamed the parent company of kJams to "Metamuse Software"
fixed the context menu for "reload music store" and "mark singer not/here"
if you sort by "Price" the secondary sort will be by artist rather than song name
the web server will no longer crash when switching venues
moar betterer logging sometimes
in the "Music Stores" playlist, in the "tracks list" on the right, if you right click on a store, you can "reveal web site" to go to the web site listed
network logging defaults to on. please don't turn it off, i need it.
OMG fixed the streaming pre-cacheing. Why do people not tell me these things right away?? This has been broken since d52r42 (March 23)
Mac: kJams is now Code-Signed (ready for Mountain Lion / Gatekeeper): ergo you'll have to re-enter your password again (twice)
Windows: if you quit kjams more than once (say, a second time *while* it's already quitting), or if you double-click the X in the upper right, you no longer crash

d52r50 May 11, 2012

Lite Mac, Pro Mac, Lite Win, Pro Win

Mac
- if you get an "afpAccessDenied" when attempting to save a playlist, kJams will try to overwrite it anyway
Windows
- more debug logging for that crash about the printer being null
- more debug logging for the crash when allocating the stop sign ping file
- more logging on that crash on quit
if you have a purchase fail (due to declined) at the tricera store, i now prompt you to send the log file. there's some bug here that people are running into
fixed crash playing BIN files
got rid of PowerPC warning. don't worry, i'll just take care of you.
the auto-mounted bin-cue files folder: if you put a tilde ("~") in front of the name, it won't be mounted
in the secret prefs there is now a "kPrefKey_PRODUCER_HORIZ_JUST_OUTSET", but you probably don't care
Get Info is now NOT enabled when there's nothing selected
got rid of the quiz for buying kJams. the answer is "close the receipt window"
purging sort-lists now fires on a timer set for a half second. if you purge the same list over and over within that time, it just re-primes the timer rather than shooting off a bunch more purges
if you pick "Find in Library / Playlist", and the search field can't be found for some reason, instead of crashing, you get warning and a request to send me the log file

d52r49 May 2, 2012

Lite Mac, Pro Mac, Lite Win, Pro Win

Mac
- the "eject" button for a CD will properly draw in the correct horizontal position (the bug fix was that it would draw hidden, off the screen, due to the twirly arrows not being accounted for)
Windows
- Fixed crashing when reading SuperCDG and NEO+G discs
- fixed meta data reading of SuperCDG discs (yes, name and artist are actually truncated in the official meta data)
- dropping a CD icon onto the Library icon (to rip the disc) finally works
- holding the ctrl key while clicking a selected song un-selects it. wow.
- drag hilites should work again
Tricerasoft: to buy streaming time you are required to have your name, email, phone number, and country set correctly. you get a warning if you don't have that info
ripping from a BIN/CUE file will now behave like a CD more properly: you can't eject it while the rip is happening. prevents a crash.
fixed an recursion crash when setting meta on lots of songs at once would produce the "Corrupted MP3 File" or "Error Renaming Songs" dialog.
fixed another crash when a song was "auto cue"'d but the song was missing (or disc ejected)
when ripping songs, they're set to already have had their meta pulled, so it doesn't waste time attempting to pull the (non existant) data
the web server will serve up search results just a wee bit faster, no longer gathering "sort columns" unnecessarily
possibly fixed another "crash on quit" bug related to disposing a thread semaphore

d52r48 April 27, 2012

Lite Mac, Pro Mac, Lite Win, Pro Win

Windows
- fixed a bug in CFNetwork where it wasn't using the same implementation of mutexes / critical sections as the rest of CoreFoundation. This caused runloops to never exit under certain circumstances.
- fixed another bug in CF, in CFWindowsMessageQueueDeallocate(), was referencing deleted memory
- people are regularly crashing on an assert "printer" thing, now has more logging. i SEE you little bug! i'm coming for *you*!
- the keychain now more correctly stores your creds
- two more bugs with more logging: crash-on-startup, and crash-on-quit: gonna GIT you!
fixed crash: finally! fixed a very longstanding bug that would crash some background threads that blocked until completed.
fixed crash: KJPro! wow, been there a long time
fixed crash: one click creds: country code: accessing this in the wrong way was causing crashes
the "CompletePurchase" has better logging, some people are crashing there, want to find out why
credit card declined messages are shown when they should be (was showing an unclear message sometimes)
when exporting song files, if an individual file fails catastrophically, the rest will still export
some people want to enter a fake email address. like "d@d.com". i know who you are. you get a special present.
i seen this "it_taskP == taskP" assert, crazy! now has more logging to help me try to figure out why
if a KMA file has missing data, you're warned rather than crashing
no longer logging "Saving Binary", not sure what that was for

d52r47 April 22, 2012

Lite Mac, Pro Mac, Lite Win, Pro Win

WHUPPS! fixed a crasher introduced in r45 or 46, when stopping songs
fixed the generic music store error dialog to show the actual error message.
used to be one push timer per song. but if you did 10,000 songs, suddenly you had 10,000 timers going, which is a performance problem. now there's only one push timer that accumulates all push tasks
Windows
- Fixed showscreens so they flippin' work! Why does nobody report these problems??!?
- if you were crashing on startup due to ASSERT(offsP), we'll get better logging for that so we can fix it
- file system error codes are now names instead of numbers
- fixed the Karaoke Locker purchasing problem (i was timing out in 5 seconds, but their server now takes sometimes up to ten seconds to respond, ick. new timeout is 30 seconds)

d52r46 April 19, 2012

Lite Mac, Pro Mac, Lite Win, Pro Win

NEW: added the ability to always mount certain bin/cue files
fixed crash: if you get an I/O error playing a song directly from a CD+G disc, and you have "skip silence" turned on
fixed crash: if your country was not set in your one click settings, you would crash when purchasing a song or streaming time
fixed crash: if you purchased a song but then quit after it downloaded but before it had a chance to decompress, on the next startup it would crash
adding or removing songs is now serialized so you won't get piles of dialogs if there's an error
pushing meta on songs should be a bit more robust (less likely to crash)
if you get an error when reading from a disc image (bin/cue), you don't get strange asserts
the test to see IF we should log is now thread safe (used to see strange results in log file)
if you try to reinterpret when you are sorted by a column that would change out from under you, you're not allowed
logging of QT movie opening is better
unzipper logging has correct string encoding (curly quotes)
"push meta data delay time" is clamped to between 1 and 20 seconds
Mac
- fixed playback of WMV and KMA files (crash)
Windows
- the "+" expando button in the Sources list can now be clicked even when the item is selected
- fixed hang: attempting to open a bad zip file would hang forever
- fixed crash: related to editing text

spooler logging won't be split across (possibly dis-contiguous) multiple lines
if SafeSave fails, the log file will show the source and dest paths to make it easier to debug
more logging in the Tricera music store
if you changed metadata on a *movie* file then quickly quit before it had time to update, your changes are now always saved
when playing a *movie* file it is now either found in or copied to the cache. Copying may take an extra second to start playing. we do this so that if you THEN change the meta data on the file, that will succeed (you can't update meta on a movie file that is currently open)
thread IDs are now more robustly logged (especially cooperative threads)
YAY FOR ME: i can now see thread names in my debugger OMG that is so great you have no idea.
if you go to send a crash/log file, and there's a problem doing so, you're now notified, so you don't think "hey it musta worked"
Mac

all log lines now show a thread ID that wrote the line, for easier tracing of interleaved messages
right-justified data items in the browser will now open the text edit for the full width of the field when editing
when purging files, we now guarantee that the purge won't be left hanging (causing the "waiting for tasks" to hang on quit)

Pro:
- if you had the "Karaoke Locker" store turned on, it is turned off

Pro: if there was any problem starting up the web server, you no longer crash

if you select a bunch of songs, then edit one of the data fields in the browser window, the warning dialog will now let you pick if you want to cancel, apply it ONLY to the one you edited, or apply it to ALL the songs
fixed a bug where you edit some meta data and instead of sticking, it reverts to what it was before. i bet that drove you crazy, huh?
fixed a possible crashing bug when playing songs

NEW! The TriceraSoft Streaming store is now LIVE! You can purchase time right in the preferences!
Trim start and end are now honored correctly for Movie files (non-audio+g files)
auto cue works for streaming songs
purchasing time at the Tricera streaming store: if you hit cancel then went back in, the top menu item would disappear. repeat several times and you'd probably crash.

the time shown at the bottom of either Rotation no longer includes the time ALREADY PLAYED in the CURRENT song
kJams will now make a second attempt at pre-caching the next song, when the first song is past the Messenger Rotation time (about 3/4th the way thru the song). This catches the case where you change the order of songs after a song starts playing.
if you play a song directly from a music store, kjams does not pre-cache the next one, and also doesn't go to the next one after the song is done
KTP files could cause a hang, fixed

- if you try to play a song that must be bought that you already own, you'll play the one you own
- if you play a music store song directly in the Library (stream or purchase), kJams will NOT pre-cache the next song

downloading music stores: the progress bar updates with more info now, better, more informative
saving big playlists: the progress bar updates with more info now, better, more informative
when exporting actual song files, no longer export XML when you say not to
when copying meta to clipboard, all quotes were converted to curly, but previously i'd use OpenQuote on both side “like this“, instead of having a close quote on the end “like this”, fixed.
fixed some errors in HTTP handling, where a URL could get URLEncoded twice, or where previous errors were not cleared (causing an error for the next connection)
when adding a song to kJams, if it finds the video part but hasn't found the audio part yet, it will search for the audio part from least-compressed to most-compressed order. so if you have an AIFF and and MP3 version, it will find the AIFF part first.

The Server now works in internationalized versions of kJams (ie: you can now add songs to Tonight)
kJams recovers the english name of singer playlists that were translated accidentally
hopefully fixed the assert about sortSpec
when using "file->export->entire playlist: all files", kJams now uses the "prefs->QuickTime->Export name template" to name the files, instead of "prefs->tags->conform song name" template. I know, it should be a popup in the prefs.
when building the Venues list, invisible files are now ignored

clarified the "kJams does NOT copy the song files" message, when you use "Add to Library"

d52r28 Nov 8 2011

Lite Mac, Pro Mac, Lite Win, Pro Win

several more localization bugs fixed

- Fixed a crash if you tried to encode an audio file using QuickTime (mp3 was fine)

Producer
- inspector and timeline windows are now guaranteed to be on screen (even if the screen has moved)
- fixed an error where opening a song could hang forever
MediaStream

- can now use Sync-Slipping (used to be ignored or not applied reliably)
- used to ignore the default colors / font. now they are honored.
- when saving default colors / font (hold option when dismissing the "Get Media Info" dialog), you now get a confirmation that it happened, so you're not wondering

when you auto update, you now get told to just download it manually if it fails
log the creation of Ques
traversing a file system directory when the directory may be being changed used to cause errors and failure, this has been fixed
fixed yet another problem where kJams could inadvertently destroy an MP3 file by incorrectly updating the tags in the wrong way
when an online meta database (freedb, musicbrainz, tracktype) fails, you now get told which one failed in the dialog
when playing a new song, occasionally kJams would display one frame from the previous song, fixed
kJams no longer ALWAYS tries to use AtomicParsley to update meta. it now ONLY does so when QuickTime fails.
fixed a problem with kJams not cleaning up after itself when unzipping those oh-so-hard-to-unzip files
Producer: if you hold down the Option key while dismissing the "Get Media Info" dialog, kJams will save the font, size, and colors (sweep, fill, strokes) as the defaults for any new MediaStream files you create
when you press the "clear cache" button in the prefs, kJams will continuously update the "size used" field until it is zero, so you KNOW it's actually working.
sync slipping works reliably now
all Localizations have been cleaned up (not that the have more translations, just the strings are clean now)
you can now actually stream the free streaming songs from Chartbuster, if you don't have an account
Windows

kJams will now insert a newly added sort column to the left of the one you right-clicked on

fixed a "file already open with write perms" and possible crash when playing a song if the next song has the same meta data
most localizations were broken, now fixed
fixed "pad movie export" it was producing messed up video
Producer
- allows you to customize default text fill / stroke for text pages and sweeps, for single and multiple voices (Secret Prefs)
- font size secret pref is now honored, rather than hard coding 24
Mac
- found a case where your OGG/Vorbis file was getting corrupted when updating meta. now, if this happens, i throw out the attempted change and you get the "could not rename" warning
Windows
- kJams no longer enables most QT Export types if you're using QT 7.7, you MUST use QT 7.6.9 instead, this is Apple's bug, and i asked for help and they told me to suck it. that means you have to downgrade to the earlier QuickTime here.

- burning a disc won't say "you don't have enough room on your cache disk". wow, i can't believe nobody told me about that.
- if you turn on high quality upscaling, kjams will still try to honor your timers (to update the messenger, the LCD window etc)
Producer: Get Media Info will now remember your font and stroke selections
if kJams can't trash files or use the temp folder, it will now tell you that it will malfunction
Chartbuster: you can now opt out of songs that don't have harmonies (Backing Vocals), or non-free streaming (so you get only songs you can pay for or that are free to stream)
at the end of QT export, the que count is decremented. when it gets to zero, then on the next export it will ask for the destination again. (cuz while there's songs in the export que, it'll just send the next export to the same destination)
on first startup, it will ask if you want the music stores
wee bit more and better logging of the log file when you're sending the log file

d52r23 Sept 27 2011

- fixed crash on PPC if you use "High Quality Upscaling"
- "High Quality Upscaling" is now OFF by default, it's slow
Windows
- burning with Pitch Bending works without crashing
for "auto cue" which is "skip silence at start of song", it used to find the first sample, then rewind (roll back) 1/4 second. i've now set it to rewind 1/10th second instead. and it's a secret pref you can change "Auto Cue rollback (seconds)"
you can now rename singer nicknames directly in the Rotation playlist
when you put in a CD it no longer causes the song graphics to stutter
"Despicable Me" was hilarious. IT'S SO FLUFFY!

the "Singer" and "Singer Nickname" columns now have tool tips showing the opposite column's info. isn't that nice?
the TriceraSoft store now shows your remaining Gift Pack credits in the prefs
kJams no longer asks if you want to check to see if there's an update for a music store. we assume if you've got the store checked, you WANT the updates. probly should ask you if you want to update if it DOES find an update. *sigh*. we'll get it right eventually.
"strange situation" and "process busy with zip file" dialogs are now serialized and won't stack up
did a lot of work on the "N Songs per Singer per Rotation". but crap, it's hard. kJams really was hard-coded for 1 song, there's a lot of threads that unravel if you make it variable. so: not done yet, on the back burner
Several destructive dialogs had the OK button on the right and Cancel (default) on the left. i've switched them to be more consistent.
fixed a crash when doing "add to library"
if you turn off a music store, it's file is deleted next time you run, cuz the IDs will be out of date the instant you add a song or update a different music store
fixed some bugs in the BitRate code that would cause a crash. but it's still way slow to turn it on. i'll fix it.
Mac:
- fixed a crash on quit if you were editing text
- fixed the dam scrollbars!
- there's a shortcut now on "web cam video underlay"
Windows
- there's a keyboard shortcut on "Reveal in Explorer"
- Tool tip thing above? it only works when the column you hover over is the FIRST column on the left, and only if it was there when the columns were built (ie: not if you move it there). This is a stupid API limitation of Windows. they say "you can ask for whatever column you want, but the only one that will work is zero". how convenient.
- did a bunch more work on the ability to edit meta data text items in the browser window. it's coming along, i hope to get it done for the next release

"Copyright" and "Comment" meta data are now multiline when editing within the browser
fixed a QT Export bug that would crash when exporting any mediastream file
new "Bit Rate" meta data column
"reveal item" no longer scrolls you off the top or bottom of the list
if you do [advanced->special->update "no lyrics" meta data], kjams will ask if you mean it
a Singer can now have a Nickname, which if set, will be shown instead of their real name.
fixed a ripping error where if you ejected the disc right after a rip it would crash
Producer Templates are now hidden from the Video menu, and only show when you are in Producer (much cleaner!)
song comments now show up in singer lists
when pre-fetching the next song, if the next song is missing, i delay the "do you want to find it?" dialog until after the next song starts playing. This is handy if you have "pause between tracks" turned on. note: it will abort asking entirely if you stop the song, or quit, obviously.
Mac
- the "Show Video Underlay" menu item now has a sub-menu where you can pick which camera
Producer (Mac)
- now reads SunFly .fly files
- when you "Save Over" the first time, it remembers which one you're working on (and shows it checked), so Command-S works to save from then on, until you move the time marker
- you can create keyboard shortcuts for your ShowScreens
- when you show a showscreen, kjams auto-saves
- the above features enable quick editing of ShowScreens
- graphics that are transparent now show black background instead of white
- text elements that are tall enough to show more than one line are now multiline
- inspector now allows you to specify that a text element has an outline (stroke over fill)
Windows
- the video window can be hidden AND SHOWN AGAIN (wow!)
- fixed burning, jeez, why does nobody TELL ME these things are busted? *sigh*
- if when burning there is a *source* CDG record that is bad, then the burn verify won't fail when comparing that record, since it is bad anyway it is jut skipped
- if you get an error during burning, you no longer crash.
- people with 4GB of RAM should no longer get the message that they don't have 4GB of RAM
- if you don't verify a burn, you get told that you didn't verify, when the burn is successful
- if you choose to verify a burn, you have 50 seconds to reinsert the CD after the burn completes, with a countdown
- if the burn fails, you don't get told that it succeeded (duh!)

all main thread callbacks are serialized now. i think i hope this fixes a long standing bug that would cause random crashes, usually when a dialog comes up but not always, and sometimes related to sorting or browser window updating
fixed VERY long standing bug where some main thread callback procs would never complete and be deleted (they were leaked)
you can now set an empty string for the secret pref "Messenger Rotation Template", and the messenger rotation will only say singer names, not songs

in the QuickTime prefs (import/export) kJams would not handle special characters correctly, now it does

when ripping, if there are errors near the start or end of the disc, they are ignored, so you can still rip discs that were poorly mastered, also more logging
Mac: PowerPC users: you get a warning once a month until you get a new computer. it's time. bury the dead horse.
in the last update, i broke the "find matching song" routine (not related to Search), this caused problems in a few places, like when you re-rip the song would be duplicated, or just ripping and songs would *disappear* off the CD, then give an error when the CD got "empty", or when you rebuild your library, or re-encode a song, or when purging the cache. all these cases are fixed.
Mac: when you send a crash report or log file, it will tell me the version number in the subject line
if there's an error exporting to QT or audio encoding to QT, you get an error message, how about that?

d52r11 July 21 2011

Lite Mac, Pro Mac, Lite Win, Pro Win <-- does not include changes ABOVE this line

if eSellerate can't install, you get notified about it, and a possible solution.
Mac:
- works on Lion
- The AppleRemote works much better now
Windows:
- fixed a stealth-hang when you put in a disc and kJams does NOT need to fetch info from freedb. would cause ripping failure and inability to quit
- a playlist is no longer marked dirty just by selecting a song
- when ripping a disc, if there is no error but the "read" comes back different from requested, i log it instead of aborting. this means you can probably rip again just fine
- Get Info on a disc: the "genre" drop-down is now wide enough to see what's in it
- meta info for CDs was saved, but always ignored when you stuck the disc back in. no longer ignored, your data will come back!

if there is a problem cacheing the next song, kjams doesn't crash (well yay on that)

Feature: kJams can now, optionally (general pref) pre-cache the next song while the current one is playing

fixed a lame "songs gone missing" bug, now actually finds them! (only certain cases of spaces missing around dashes)
logging "posting to main thread: update pli" to trace slowness

- in tracks browser, popup strings draw in the correct color when the song is selected

if you've a zip file that contains "._" files inside it (meta data from OSX written to a non-HFS+ file system), then kJams would not be able to find the *real* files, now it can.
