| foobar2000 2.24.1 Dec 16, 2024 |
New version numbering scheme: 2.24 for planned stable release year of 2024. Internet radio improvements: Fixed Internet radio search not working through a proxy server. Internet Radio search & list: clicking a stream that is already playing no longer restarts playback. Made disconnected internet radio streams resumed quietly, without showing error popups. Suppressed advancing to the next playlist item if internet radio playback stops due to a network error. Codec & audio format fixes: Implemented Ogg chapter support. Fixes for plain WAV files near & over 4GB in size. Note that WAV file format does not actually support content longer than 4GB. Refactored Matroska chapter handling. If a multichapter Matroska file is played as a whole (from remote URL etc), chapter names will be shown as dynamic track titles. Made refuse to retag MP4/M4A/M4B files with QT chapters if chapter count exceeds 255, to prevent erratic behavior. Please remux such files to another container to allow tagging. Made WMA tag writing behave less erratically if fed tags read by FFmpeg decoder wrapper. MP4/M4A/M4B: Prefer QT chapters over chpl if more than 255 chapters found. MP4/M4A/M4B: Fixed very rare tag update failures if exceeding 4GB boundary. Note that previous versions would just leave the file untouched and report an error if running into this scenario, never corrupt files. Updated MP4 tmpo tag manipulation, restored ability to write which was lost a few years ago. Improved compatibility with multi-value MP4/M4A tags. Fixed JXL/AVIF/HEIC external album covers not being recognized, even if relevant system image codecs are present. Made fact chunk in PCM WAV files ignored. Removed arbitrary denial of reading of cuesheets over FTP/HTTP/etc. Allowed absolute paths in cue sheets. Extended MP4 chapter manipulation commands to work with other formats that support chapterizer interface, such as Ogg or Musepack. Prevented nonsense sample rate & channel count from being shown on MP4 files with no aud |

| foobar2000 2.1.6 Sep 20, 2024 |
Prevented all MP4 tag fields prefixed with replaygain_ from being treated as technical information, only actual ReplayGain fields are now such. Fixed ReplayGain scanner attempting to scan Audio CD in multiple threads. Fixed webm audio renamed to .opus being very slow to open. Fixed FLAC files with exotic bit depths incorrectly failing audio MD5 verification. 24-bit rounding issues fixed, performance improved. Fixed nonsensical messages in Converter log when copying non audio files over. No longer drops DLLs for other CPU architectures than the running one when installing components. Mitigated very long tag fields causing playlist view to behave erratically |
| foobar2000 2.1.5 Aug 9, 2024 |
Fixed different builds using different rounding for float >> integer audio conversion, mainly affecting 24-bit output (least significant bit differences only). MP4/M4A/M4B: Prefer QT chapters over chpl if more than 255 chapters found. MP4/M4A/M4B: Fixed very rare tag update failures if exceeding 4GB boundary. Note that previous versions would just leave the file untouched and report an error if running into this scenario, never corrupt files. |
| foobar2000 2.1.4 Apr 15, 2024 |
Fixed crash if freedb/gnudb server returns more tracks than asked for (regression since 2.0). Fixed very old and very rare lockup when opening Album List. Some CPU usage optimizations backported from 2.2 series. |

| foobar2000 2.0 Apr 26, 2023 |
Dark mode support on Windows 10 and 11. Add-on components need to be updated to utilize it. Added album art in Default User Interface playlist view. Clickable rating stars in Default User Interface playlist view (with new Playback Statistics component only). New Default UI element: ReFacets, reimplementing most of Facets functionality. Old Facets component doesn't work with new 64-bit foobar2000. Improved Default UI splitter, now allows any number of panes. Added 'remember per playlist layout' to Default User Interface playlist view. Added 'stream selector' element to Default User Interface toolbar. Some Default UI Elements (ReFacets, Equalizer, visualisations) now also accessible as Columns UI panels. Made more edit boxes recognize ctrl+backspace. Fixed remembered main window position/size not respecting system DPI settings. |
