    returns and trailing tilde's~

  • kjams can now play Audio+QuickTime files (separate audio file, plus a quicktime movie for video), crazy, i tells ya. please let me know if i broke something!

  • fixed "file not found" and "duplicate file names" error when updating music stores
  • MAJOR: when pushing lots of meta, the DB now saves over and over, to keep up with all the changes. so, if you crash, you will not have lost much work, if any. This was the original design, but there was a bug that kept "procrastinating" the DB save command.

  • MAJOR: fixed the crashing you'd get pushing meta or interpreting or pulling meta or adding to library, after 5490 threads have been spawned!! OMG!!

Latest Changes

  • MAJOR: the kJams web server now handles all client requests on background threads. each client gets it's own thread. this means: 1) the GUI will remain responsive and 2) each client will be as fast as possible (no longer waiting on all other clients) and 3) fewer crashes!
  • context menus on items in the Sources list will now do source-listy things, rather than tracks-listy things
  • removed "ASSERT(pliP)" when deleting items (or rebuild rotation)
  • no longer get a main thread assert please crash when filtering (searching)
  • in the singer context menu, you can now mark a singer "here" as well as "not here"
  • if you hold the command key when purchasing kJams, it skips all the verbose warning dialogs
  • graphics overlay channels are now logged so we can nail that "black video" bug!
  • the "Video" window no longer disappears when you bring up Exposé. please test with spaces, does it work???
  • Windows: the pref key for the audio input and output popups are now logged with more details, so we can fix that bug

d51r18 Sept 8th 2010 Lite Mac, Pro Mac, Lite Win, Pro Win <-- does not include changes BELOW this line

  • if you have "warn on song interrupt" turned on, and you interrupt a song, and hit OK, and *immediately* play a different song (with double click or arrow key) you don't get the "your song may have silent audio" message (which in that case would be wrong)
  • fixed a crasher that is impossible to describe, trust me (iterating playlist items)
  • the "please crash" dialog now has different verbiage for Windows
  • you will no longer get "black video" after certain error conditions. this is now known as the "double overlay" bug. the origin of the bug isn't fixed, but this patch will prevent you from having to quit and restart to regain your graphics. you may need to force quit when you finally do. please send the log file.
  • better logging of the "double overlay" bug
