WACUP 1.99.31.21612 Preview changelog:
- Changed some more of the internal handling to move away from the wasabi based services for smaller code & less overhead
- Changed the milkdrop plug-in preferences to try to display what the monitor connected to the display adapter is which might make it easier to work things out when using multiple monitor setups
- Fixed an initialisation problem which could cause the internal playlist service to not be seen by the plug-ins after loading
- Fixed an indefinite hang on closing which could happen if a local library metadata api call was aborted due to closing being triggered but there were already attempts to access the local library db
- Fixed a change to lower the memory usage not working correctly in some instances causing random crashes with the folder monitor
- Fixed some conversion issues which could cause invalid metadata being sent to a DNAS is configured to use v2 streaming mode
- Fixed sorting of the columns in the podcasts root view not toggling to the descending mode as expected due to a clean-up bug
- Fixed the probable cause of a crash seen during closing if the folder monitor or a local library action had been running
- Fixed the possible cause of a crash seen by some when trying to access the in_msx preferences due to its use of subclassing
- Fixed a long standing unexpected code duplication related to the json parser in all of the native plug-ins making use of it
- Fixed a concurrency issue with getting information from a specified main playlist file which was causing crashes for some
- Fixed a processing issue when calling the pffft implementation which could trigger procdump calls & potentially more issues
- Fixed a validation check with priming the albumart cache on loading which prevented it from being used slowing loading down & made the display of artwork in the lyrics & albumart windows to obviously lag
- Fixed some more issues with the modern skin region handling which should get more working correctly after the 21550 changes
- Other small changes based on trying to clean-up the source code, de-duplicate things & reduce the processing overhead
