LAME MP3 Encoder 3.98.4
(2010.03.22)
Changes in 3.98.4
* Joseph Flynn
o Improvements for LAME DirectShow filter:
+ Added support for the DirectShow IAMStreamConfig Interface to the LAME encoder filter output pin.
+ Modified the DirectShow filter registration section so that the LAME Encoder filter is correctly registered in the Audio Compressors filter category. This will allow third-party encoding applications using the DirectShow System Device Enumerator Interface to correctly detect the LAME encoder when querying the Audio Compressors filter group.
+ Modified the filter registration information so that the MP3 audio subtype is correctly reported as being supported on the encoder output pin. This will allow third-party encoding applications using the DirectShow IFilterMapper2 Interface to recognize that the LAME encoder supports MP3 output.
+ Altered the Filter Merit Value that was being used when the filter was registered so that it is now using the standard DirectShow compressor filter merit value of MERIT_DO_NOT_USE (0x200000). Previously, the filter was being registered using a value of MERIT_SW_COMPRESSOR (0x100000), which was at a lower priority (i.e. worse priority) than MERIT_DO_NOT_USE. This prevented the LAME Encoder filter from being selected for use by some third-party encoding applications.
+ Added code to calculate the frame length of the audio frames used for the nBlockSize element of the WAVEFORMATEX output structure. Previously this value was simply hard-coded to 1.

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) Beta 1
(2010.03.19)
Introduction
The Ubuntu developers are moving quickly to bring you the latest and greatest software the Open Source community has to offer. This is the first Ubuntu 10.04 beta release, which brings a host of exciting new features.
Note: This is a beta release. Do not install it on production machines. The final stable version will be released on April 29, 2010.
Upgrading from Ubuntu 9.10 or Ubuntu 8.04 LTS
To upgrade from Ubuntu 9.10 on a desktop system, press Alt+F2 and type in "update-manager -d" (without the quotes) into the command box. Update Manager should open up and tell you: New distribution release '10.04' is available. Click Upgrade and follow the on-screen instructions.
To upgrade from Ubuntu 9.10 on a server system: install the update-manager-core package if it is not already installed; edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and set Prompt=normal; launch the upgrade tool with the command sudo do-release-upgrade -d; and follow the on-screen instructions.
To upgrade from Ubuntu 8.04 LTS on a server system: follow the same instructions as for Ubuntu 9.10, but set Prompt=lts instead of Prompt=normal.

New features since Ubuntu 9.10
These features are showcased for your attention. Please test them and report any bugs you find:
http://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs
GNOME
Ubuntu 10.04 Beta 1 includes the latest GNOME desktop environment with a number of great new features.
Mozilla
Default search engine has been changed to Yahoo! The default Home Page will use either Google or Yahoo! depending on user setting.
Linux kernel 2.6.32
Ubuntu 10.04 Beta 1 includes the 2.6.32-16.25 kernel based on 2.6.32.9.
KDE SC 4.4
Kubuntu 10.04 Beta 1 features the new KDE SC 4.4. For more information about new features in Kubuntu, see the Kubuntu technical overview.
HAL removal
This beta sports full removal of HAL from the boot process, making Ubuntu faster to boot and faster to resume from suspend.
Major new version of likewise-open
The likewise-open package, which provides Active Directory authentication and server support for Linux, has been updated to version 5.4. The package supports upgrades from both the officially supported versions 4.0 (Ubuntu 8.04 LTS) and 4.1 (Ubuntu 9.10), as well as the likewise-open5 packages from universe.
Since this upgrade involves a lot of configuration file changes and in-place database upgrades, testing and feedback is appreciated.
New default open source driver for nVidia hardware
The Nouveau video driver is now the default for nVidia hardware. This driver provides kernel mode setting, which will give improved resolution detection. This driver provides hardware accelerated 2D functionality, like the -nv driver it replaces. The nouveau driver is being actively developed upstream and we anticipate this will enable faster bug fixes for problems encountered.
Improved support for nVidia proprietary graphics drivers
Three different NVIDIA proprietary drivers are currently available: nvidia-current (190.53), nvidia-173, and nvidia-96. Thanks to a new alternatives system, it is now possible to install all three of these packages at the same time (although it is only possible to have one configured for use at a time).
Social from the Start
We now feature built-in integration with Twitter, identi.ca, Facebook, and other social networks with the MeMenu in the panel, which is built upon the Gwibber project, which has a completely new, more reliable backend built on top of desktopcouch. Gwibber now also supports a multi-column view for monitoring multiple feeds simultaneously.
New boot experience
Multiple changes to look, feel and speed of the boot experience have been included in the Ubuntu 10.04 LTS beta.
New Indicators
The notification area now features more consistent user experience and design for communication, session management, and many other tasks.
New Themes
The desktop has been beautified with the addition of two brand new themes, Ambiance and Radiance. New wallpaper and icons are also included.
Ubuntu One File Syncing
Select any folder in your home directory for sync, pick from your existing contacts when sharing folders. An updated preferences application has been added, with more features.
Ubuntu One Music Store
Millions of songs are available for purchase from your Ubuntu desktop, integrated with the Rhythmbox Music Player and using Ubuntu One cloud storage for backup and easy sync. Watch http://one.ubuntu.com/blog for the public beta launch.
New features for Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud (UEC)
The Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud installer has been vastly improved in order to support alternative installation topologies. UEC components are now automatically discovered and registered, including for complex topologies. Finally, UEC is now powered by Eucalyptus 1.6.2 codebase.
Security Issue when upgrading from Lucid Alpha 2
If you installed Lucid prior to Alpha 3, you may have libmysqlclient16 7.0.9-1 installed. This package was present in the Ubuntu archive by mistake and was retracted, but because it has a later version number than the real libmysqlclient16 package, the real package will not be installed automatically on upgrade. To ensure that you have the official package installed on your Lucid system and will receive security support for it throughout Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, it is important that you run sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient16/lucid and follow the instructions.
Known issues
As is to be expected at this stage of the release process, there are several known bugs that users are likely to run into with Ubuntu 10.04 Beta 1. We have documented them here for your convenience along with any known workarounds, so that you don't need to spend time reporting these bugs again:
* Because of the new alternatives system used for nvidia driver packages, the nvidia installer from NVIDIA's website currently doesn't work.
* The fglrx binary driver for ATI video chipsets does not yet support the X server in Lucid. As a workaround, users should use the open source -ati driver instead. (494699)
* A number of outstanding bugs prevent users of the OpenLDAP server (the slapd package) from upgrading successfully from Ubuntu 8.04 LTS to 10.04 LTS Beta 1. Users running OpenLDAP servers are advised to wait until Beta 2 before upgrading. (538516, 536958)
* Configuration of "LVM with encryption" in the Ubuntu Server installer and the alternate installer fails when setting up swap. Investigation of this issue is ongoing. (539324)
* Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud 9.10 upgrades to 10.04 do not yet work seamlessly, and UEC 9.10 administrators are advised not to upgrade to 10.04 Beta 1. This problem is a high priority (519513), and is expected to be resolved for 10.04 Beta 2. This does not affect new installations of UEC 10.04, which are expected to work quite well at 10.04 Beta 1.
* Xubuntu Desktop is installed by default without language support (540878). To localize your system, after installation, go to Applications -> System -> Language Support and add your language.
* When running Kubuntu in Install Only mode ("Install Kubuntu" from the boot menu), the system will fail to reboot correctly at the end of the install. As a workaround, users can "Try Kubuntu without installing" and click on the installer icon on the desktop. (540856)
* Installation with /boot on RAID1 fails due to a bug when installing the bootloader to disk. This bug will be addressed for 10.04 Beta 2. (527401)
* If the cryptsetup package is installed as part of an install from the alternate CD, the X server may crash after boot the first time you press. To correct this problem, install version 0.8.0~-17 or later of the plymouth package from the Ubuntu archives after the initial installation. (540256)
* Wubi as included on the ISO images is unable to enter its second stage of installation, so you will not be able to install inside Windows using just an ISO image in this beta release. As a workaround, users who are installing the Ubuntu Desktop Edition can download the stand-alone version of wubi from http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04/wubi.exe which includes the fix for this bug. This bug will be fully addressed for 10.04 LTS Beta 2. (541607)
* Selecting OEM installation on Kubuntu in 10.04 LTS Beta 1 does not install the oem-config-kde package required to complete OEM configuration after reboot. Users in need of Kubuntu OEM installation support are advised to wait until 10.04 LTS Beta 2. (540895)
Reporting bugs
It should come as no surprise that this beta release of Lucid Lynx contains other bugs. Your comments, bug reports, patches and suggestions will help fix bugs and improve future releases. Please report bugs using the tools provided.

Mp3tag 2.46
(2010.03.13)
Changes in 2.46
Important changes
Explorer Shell Extension
The right-click menu extension is now realised by a dedicated Shell extension which improves opening files and directories via the context menu also for large amounts of files.
Improved user-defined field mappings
The user-defined mappings for field names introduced in Mp3tag v2.45 now have an own help page and were further improved with regard to mapping multiple field names to one user-defined field name.
Improved Tag Sources dialog
The Tag Sources dialog now also supports reordering of files via drag and drop allowing to quickly rearrange files according to the titles. Yes, we made it work with multiple files too :-) The sorting and selection state of the Tag Sources search results are now also remembered if you decide to go back and pick another result.
Portable settings
Previous versions of Mp3tag stored toolbar and panel positions in the Windows Registry. This changed with this release so that Mp3tag now stores all configuration data in its own configuration files.
Complete list of changes
FIX: iTunes-specific field Encoding Params was not preserved.
FIX: saving tags to files on some NAS drives occasionally did not work.
FIX: blanks before extension part in file names were automatically removed at Replace actions for _FILENAME.

FIX: shell extension did not resolve symbolic links.
CHG: improved copy and paste of tags to multiple files.
CHG: performance improvements for MATCHES keyword when filtering using regular expressions.
FIX: $validate removed colons in directory part of parameter instead of using replacement character.
NEW: added Ctrl+Space keyboard shortcut for displaying format string helper menu.
FIX: runtime error when clicking the actions drop-down menu after deleting all action groups.
FIX: tag field mappings did not work for APEv2 tagged files.
FIX: shell extension did not load directories with dots in their names.
NEW: support for %_md5audio% for FLAC files.
CHG: dockbar information now always stored in configuration file.
NEW: Explorer context menu entry now realised via dedicated shell extension.
FIX: placeholder %_md5audio% now only available for audio formats tagged with ID3 and/or APE tags.
FIX: placeholder %_counter% was not available at action 'Export cover to file'.
NEW: placeholder %_tool% for TAK now contains used TAK encoder version.
CHG: extended profile information displayed in %_vbr% for TAK files.
CHG: updated TAK decoder library tak_deco_lib.dll to TAK 2.0.0.
CHG: user-defined fields are not truncated to 255 characters in MP4 anymore.
CHG: now displays technical information of the first audio track in MP4 (instead of the first track).
FIX: menu 'Edit, Select all files' only worked if file list had focus.
FIX: sort indicator in file view was not reset if playlists were loaded or files were added.
FIX: removing files from filter result caused files that do not match the filter expression to be displayed.
CHG: COPYRIGHT field now maps to MP4 cprt atom.
NEW: added field PRESENT keyword to filter for files that contain a specific field in their tags.
NEW: support for reordering files via drag and drop at Tag Sources dialog.
CHG: adjusted MP4 mediatype mappings to reflect changes in iTunes 9.
CHG: SUBTITLE at MP4 now contains what previously was ITUNESPODCASTDESC which now contains the long description.
FIX: workaround for MP4 files with unconventional avcC atoms.
CHG: updated discogs web source.
FIX: runtime error when sorting files after filtering with an invalid filter expression.
CHG: file extension is now not selected when renaming files in file list.
CHG: Tag Sources selection dialog now remembers its selection state and sorting of search results.

MyDefrag 4.2.9
(2010.03.07)
Changes in 4.2.9
* Added a check to MoveToEndOfDisk to exit more quickly if the program is stopped prematurely.
* Fixed an installation bug that causes an "unable to execute file" error for the MyDefragScreenSaver.scr file.
* Changed the MoveToEndOfDisk fileaction so it will skip a file faster if there is no gap large enough above the file.
* Changed the MoveToEndOfDisk fileaction so it will stop faster when MyDefrag is stopped by the user.
* Fixed a bug that limited the value of constant numbers in a script to 2147483647.
* The ZoneBegin will no longer be automatically moved by a zone that contains a MoveToEndOfDisk fileaction.
* Removed the automatic disk filters from most of the default scripts. For example, the script for flash memory disks will now run for all the selected disks, and not only for removable disks.
* Fixed a problem where enlarging a gap for FastFill would be extremely slow if the file to be moved away was a NTFS compressed file.
* Fixed a bug in MaxRunTime statement that would cause it to always use zero as maximum runtime.
* Fixed a bug that could cause the subroutine that enlarges gaps for FastFill(WithShuffling) to move items that were already processed (placed in a previous zone).
* Fixed a bug in the grammar that prevented the WhenFinished(Shutdown) setting from accepting the sub-options.
* Fixed 2 bugs in string variables.
* Changed PreventScreenSaving() into SetScreenSaver.
* Changed PreventPowerSaving() into SetScreenPowerSaver.
* Changed the subroutine that vacates the NTFS reserved area, Previously it would not count NTFS reserved area free space that was already there, resulting in unnecessary data movement.
* Fixed a bug in NTFS scanner so it will now load a minimum of 1 sector when loading the first record of the MFT. On ultra-big harddisks the size of an MFT record (1 kilobyte) can be smaller than the number of bytes per sector.
* The ImportListFromProgramHints fileboolean is now oompatibel with Windows XP.
