• FFmpeg updated to 6.0.
• Built-in Monkey's Audio support now uses FFmpeg. As Monkey's Audio is under rapid development, it's once again available as a separate component that can be updated separately from foobar2000 itself. The component has just been updated to latest Monkey's Audio library and fully supports modern CPU architectures.
• Added extra sanity checks to tag update operations in built-in codecs: made sure that attempts to remove covers from files that didn't have them in first place don't alter files at all.

Beta 29:

• Made image viewer maximized state remembered again.
• Fixed status bar dark mode bugs with dim/highlight formatting.
• Fixed File Operations dark mode glitching.
• Fixed Converter bit depth vs lossy codec regression.
• Verifier: Don't use decode postproc for AccurateRip checking.
• Switched to 32-bit x86 installer for ARM foobar2000, was using 64-bit before. Fixes stall during install / regsrv32.exe forkbomb.
• Removed the ability to toggle low-memory mode in 32-bit build, due heavy performance issues that it causes if toggled accidentally. Another way to toggle it will be added later, for now it's a hidden setting.

Changelog v2.0:

• Now available as x86 32-bit (legacy), x86 64-bit, ARM 64-bit.
• 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.

• 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 6.0.
• 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.

• 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

• Removed the ability to toggle low-memory mode in 32-bit build, due heavy performance issues that it causes if toggled accidentally. Another way to toggle it will be added later, for now it's a hidden setting.

Beta 32:

• Fixed dark mode in "Batch attach pictures" dialog.
• Resolved a disagreement with foo_openlyrics resulting in startup crashing.

Beta 33:

• Release candidate build.

• First run will rebuild index for playback statistics, might stall for a few seconds on startup. This is due to the above, corrects potential bad data.
• New API: metadb_pre_update_callback, mainly intended to reliably notify foo_playcount about meta changes preventing data loss in corner cases.
• ReFactes: Added multi value columns similar to original Facets.
• ReFacets: Enter key in search box sends results to playlist.

Beta 28:

• Native foobar2000 for ARM is finally available.
• Supports ARM builds of components but doesn't actually require them, can transparently load x64 code.
• Native ARM version requires Windows 11. If you run Windows 10, you can still run legacy 32-bit foobar2000 through x86 emulation.
• FFmpeg updated to 6.0.
• Built-in Monkey's Audio support now uses FFmpeg. As Monkey's Audio is under rapid development, it's once again available as a separate component that can be updated separately from foobar2000 itself. The component has just been updated to latest Monkey's Audio library and fully supports modern CPU architectures.
• Added extra sanity checks to tag update operations in built-in codecs: made sure that attempts to remove covers from files that didn't have them in first place don't alter files at all.

Beta 29:

• Converter fixes in 64-bit build, made possible to write 32-bit fixed-point and 64-bit floating-point output.
• Converter vs LAME: allowed 32-bit floating-point pass-thru, as current LAME version supports it.

• Made image viewer maximized state remembered again.
• Fixed status bar dark mode bugs with dim/highlight formatting.
• Fixed File Operations dark mode glitching.
• Fixed Converter bit depth vs lossy codec regression.
• Verifier: Don't use decode postproc for AccurateRip checking.
• Switched to 32-bit x86 installer for ARM foobar2000, was using 64-bit before. Fixes stall during install / regsrv32.exe forkbomb.
• Removed the ability to toggle low-memory mode in 32-bit build, due heavy performance issues that it causes if toggled accidentally. Another way to toggle it will be added later, for now it's a hidden setting.

Beta 32:

• Fixed dark mode in "Batch attach pictures" dialog.
• Resolved a disagreement with foo_openlyrics resulting in startup crashing.

Beta 33:

• Release candidate build.
• Removed FFmpeg Monkey's Audio decoder which was incorrectly playing specific files, included latest Monkey's Audio library instead.
• Made installer remember last used portable installations per CPU architecture.

• Converter vs LAME: allowed 32-bit floating-point pass-thru, as current LAME version supports it.
• Fixed Windows logoff/shutdown causing foobar2000 not to save playback position.
• Fixed main window position/size not respecting system DPI settings.
• Updated exclusive output device-specific workarounds.

Beta 30:

• Fixed beta 29 regression, maximized main window state is remembered again.

Beta 31:

• Fixed glitching when seeking with smooth playback and CPU-heavy DSPs active.
• Made image viewer maximized state remembered again.
• Fixed status bar dark mode bugs with dim/highlight formatting.
• Fixed File Operations dark mode glitching.
• Fixed Converter bit depth vs lossy codec regression.
• Verifier: Don't use decode postproc for AccurateRip checking.
• Switched to 32-bit x86 installer for ARM foobar2000, was using 64-bit before. Fixes stall during install / regsrv32.exe forkbomb.
• Removed the ability to toggle low-memory mode in 32-bit build, due heavy performance issues that it causes if toggled accidentally. Another way to toggle it will be added later, for now it's a hidden setting.

Beta 32:

• Fixed dark mode in "Batch attach pictures" dialog.
• Resolved a disagreement with foo_openlyrics resulting in startup crashing.

Beta 33:

• Release candidate build.
• Removed FFmpeg Monkey's Audio decoder which was incorrectly playing specific files, included latest Monkey's Audio library instead.
• Made installer remember last used portable installations per CPU architecture.

Beta 34:

• Release candidate build.
• Fixed a timer manipulation issue that resulted in missing search query & autoplaylist refresh events when using time-based queries.
• Fixed wrong scrollbar context menus in various places.
• Fixed an internal regression that prevented Classic User Interface playlist from live-tracking title formatting configuration changes.
• Added ctrl+del handling to various edit boxes.

Beta 35:

• Release candidate build.
• Better detection of non-dark-mode-supported systems. Dark mode features disabled on Windows 10 older than 1809.
• Dark mode: fixed scroll bars in dropdown lists not being darkened.
• Fixed startup lockup with certain library viewer configurations.

Final:

• Fixed Converter beta 29 regression, an internal logic error caused 32bit fixedpoint audio being sent to some encoders instead of floatingpoint, mainly causing lossy-to-lossy transcoding errors.
• That's it. I hope you all enjoy using foobar2000 v2.0.

Changelog v2.0:

• Support for modern processor architectures. Now available as:
  - x86 32-bit (legacy) - requires Windows 7 or newer.
  - x86 64-bit - requires Windows 7 64-bit or newer.
  - 64-bit foobar2000 requires 64-bit builds of components; it can not load legacy 32-bit components. However, at this time, most components have 64-bit builds available already.
  - ARM - requires Windows 11 ARM device.
  - foobar2000 for ARM has been compiled in Emulation Compatible (ARM64EC) mode and can load components built for x86 64-bit. There's no need for component developers to specifically build ARM components.
• User interface updates:
  - Dark mode support on Windows 10 and 11. Add-on components need to be updated to utilize it.
  - Added album art in Default User Interface playlist view.
  - Clickable rating stars in Default User Interface playlist view (with new Playback Statistics component only).
  - 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.

  - Made more edit boxes recognize ctrl+backspace.
  - Fixed remembered main window position/size not respecting system DPI settings.
• Configuration management changes:
  - 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.
  - 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).
  - New full config reset semantics - now clears profile folder (optionally leaving user-components intact) instead of asking all components to reset themselves.
• DSP technology updates:
  - Made possible to apply DSP config changes without reinitializing affected DSPs.
  - Allowed DSPs to manipulate their shown name depending on preset data.
  - Added crossfeed DSP from foobar2000 mobile.
  - Added sample rate exclusions to SSRC resampler.

  - Updated WavPack to version 5.6.0.
  - Updated FFmpeg to version 6.0.
  - libvorbis is now used for decoding Vorbis format instead of FFmpeg, as some rare files continue to cause compatibility issues.
  - Cleaned up Ogg reader, made possible to seek in remote (HTTP etc) Ogg files.
  - Made FLAC tag updater remove ID3v2 garbage prefixing FLAC stream.
  - Made MP3 reader report MP3 frame count not matching Xing/LAME header info when verifying integrity.
  - Fixed bad MD5 verification of AIFF sourced WavPacks.
  - Added extra sanity checks to tag update operations in built-in codecs: made sure that attempts to remove covers from files that didn't have them in first place don't alter files at all.
• Properties dialog updates:
  - Properties dialog now follows theme colors of the active UI.
  - Improved behavior if 'reload info' detects a change in number of chapters etc.
  - Updated Automatically Fill Values logic, better results if searched pattern appears more than once.

  - 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
• Other:
  - Media Library efficiency improvements for very large music libraries.
  - New audio output device management features - unwanted devices can be disabled, bit depth and DSP can be configured per-device.
