changelog: - Now available as x86 32-bit (legacy), x86 64-bit. ARM 64-bit version coming soon. 64-bit versions require updated versions of add-on components. - Dark mode support on Windows 10 and 11. Add-on components need to be updated to utilize it. - Entirely new media library engine, backed by SQLite. Much faster startup and shutdown with large libraries, greatly reduced memory usage. - Greatly improved performance of media library search queries that don't use %patterns%. - Playback Statistics functionality is now built-in. Old foo_playcount data gets imported on first run. Please remove foo_playcount as instructed. - Added album art in Default User Interface playlist view. - Clickable rating stars in Default User Interface playlist view. - 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. - New audio output device management features - unwanted devices can be disabled, bit depth and DSP can be configured per-device. - New internal playlist format, changes instantly saved to disk, no more recent changes lost on crash. - New configuration data format, changes instantly saved to disk, no more recent changes lost on crash. - Can display file creation time (%file_created%) and attributes (%file_attributes%). - For non-portable installs, profile folder is now %appdata%\foobar2000-v2. There is no need to back up old profile before upgrading, your foobar2000 v1.x profile will be left untouched. - First run performs import of old configuration data (playlists, library). - More audio formats supported out of the box: TAK, APE, AC3, DTS. - Updated FFmpeg to version 5.1. - Improved Properties behavior if 'reload info' detects a change in number of chapters etc. - Rewritten built-in visualisations (VU/peak meters, spectrum, oscilloscope), now using hardware accelerated rendering. - Some Default UI Elements (ReFacets, Equalizer, visualisations) now also accessible as Columns UI panels. - Internet Radio dialog (File menu), remembers previously played Internet radio streams. - Modernized Explorer integration, no longer needs separate 32bit/64bit shell extension DLLs. - Properties dialog now follows theme colors of the active UI. - Utilized Windows Imaging Component for image parsing, removed libwebp dependency. Album covers in HEIF, AVIF, etc can now be viewed if system codecs are present. - Added %year% mapping, takes year part of %date%, discarding content past first four digits. - Changed default Album List patterns to use %year%. - Added sample rate exclusions to SSRC resampler. - Added crossfeed DSP from foobar2000 mobile. - New console logging system, writes per-instance log files to the specified folder. - New full config reset semantics - now clears profile folder (optionally leaving user-components intact) instead of asking all components to reset themselves. - These add-on components are now obsolete as their functionality is available out of the box: foo_benchmark, foo_bitcompare, foo_verifier, foo_input_monkey, foo_ac3, foo_sanitizer, foo_input_dts. - These components previously included with the installer are no longer optional (features always enabled): foo_rgscan, foo_cdda, foo_albumlist |
