Software-update: Foobar2000 0.7

Foobar2000 is een audiospeler die verschillende soorten audio-formaten kan afspelen. Men heeft er voor gekozen om een 64-bit floating point decoder te gebruiken in plaats van de gebruikelijke 16-bit decoder die gebruikt wordt door Winamp en Windows Media Player. Voor een goed overzicht wat foobar2000 nou precies inhoud kijk je hier.

Peter Pawlowski heeft onlangs versie 0.7 vrijgegeven waarin een groot aantal veranderingen zijn gemaakt zoals je in het volgende changelog kan lezen:

• nuked compatibility with pre-0.7 components
• massive changes in API: new menu_item class (replaces old contextmenu and componentsmenu classes) new audio_chunk class (affects input, DSP and others), playlist callbacks, replaceable user interface, visualisation support, utf8api.dll with UTF-8 wrappers for commonly-used win32 API calls, public config variable services, improved tag reading/writing APIs, improved input API, proper support for realtime file info changes
• added new contextmenu manager page
• no more separate win9x/winnt versions (you just need proper utf8api.dll build for your OS)
• changed .cfg file format
• separated standard UI to a dll, now fully modular
• corrected "mouse-drag-outside-playlist-area" behavior, now scrolls like old pre-0.4 listbox used to
• some changes in titleformatting (third $pad param, $if3, %_playlist_total%)
• new HTTP reader, using jnetlib
• option to use custom system tray icons
• fixed minor issue with playback stopping when user seeks past the end of track
• added separate preamp slider for files that dont have RG info
• new commandline parameters
• new icon
• fixed bugs in floatingpoint WAV input
• option to create subdirectories according to filename formatting in diskwriter
• range selection in ABX component (range display doesn't work with winxp silver theme, meh)
• fixed issues with replaygain scanner not working without foo_dsp_extra.dll installed
• fixed issue with vorbis playback stopping when seeking-past-end-of-file
• Case added APL support, embedded cue support for FLAC and fixed bugs in cue reader
• option to write APEv2 tags to WAV files
• new rightclick to remove tags from files
• improved handling of drag&drop operations, now supports dropping URLs from browser
• support for gapless playback of lame-encoded MP3 files
• new "Fix MP3 header" right-click for fixing VBR headers in MP3 files (implemented in standard inputs), allows manual editing of gapless playback info
• moved titleformatting help to an external HTML
• cleaned SDK structure up (now you add dependency of foobar2000_component_client instead of including the cpp), SDK and included projects compile much faster now
• .URL parser (for dropping internet shortcuts)
• improved compatibility with large font settings
• improved albumlist contextmenu
• improved dithering speed, dithering now disabled by default to avoid cpu usage issues
• made waveOut default on all OS's
