2.0d1 not out, closed beta

• Any time a song would "stop", it will now fade out over N seconds (default 3.5)
• Multiple song audio can now play simultaneously (no user interface yet) (auto crossfade due to above)
• Video mixer now enables multiple song videos, with transparency and crossfade
• video mixer now will "fade to black" during the audio fade, except that at the moment it also turns on "transparent video window", which is not what i want..
• stopping a song when you have Producer open will NOT fade it, it will just stop instantly like it used to (prevents crashes)
• started investigating Python embedding implemented python scripting, wow that was very fast!
• python now runs on a separate thread
• full versioning! Update notification: now, the 2.0 version has it's own notion of version, and will get notified of updates separately from 1.0. However, it will not auto-update yet (if you do, you'll downgrade to 1.0) And auto updating will get you the new version
• Python: you can now kill background python threads (in the Activity window)
• the user's Python folder can now be an alias/shortcut
• there is a new Python menu under Special, listing scripts in the user's Python folder. updated every time you click the menu, so you can add/change/remove scripts while kjams is still running (opt-click to open the script)
• not this one but the NEXT version will let you auto-update
• temp disabled Fade Out as there are bugs and i'm not working on it
• added Server commands to Python: info, rotation, new singer, fetch list of singers, login/out, fetch singer playlists
• will now tell you if you have the wrong python version installed (or none) and optionally download it for you
• all python commands now can go thru a single generic entry point, that can take any number of arguments of any time, and return any type of value (including a dictionary)
• officially requires Lion (10.7) or better. Still works fine on XP, Vista, 7, 8
• you can set key shortcuts on the python submenu
• python menu disappears if it's not installed or is wrong version
• officially called "kJams 2" now, no longer "Pro"
• has it's own eSellerate ID, still debugging that
