Magic Quotes are evil
I finally found some time to get rid of the dreaded backslash problem when posting a comment that contained single or double quotes. For those that don't know about Magic Quotes: you can read all about them in the PHP manual. Unfortunately, this server doesn't allow me to turn them off without breaking the entire site, so I had to find another solution. Hooray!
While I was at it, I also uploaded the latest Shoutcast DSP and updated Windows Classic 2 to the latest version.
XMPlay 3.3.0.6 released + MIDI plugin update
XMPlay 3.3.0.6 has been released. From the newsletter:
"[The update] includes a playlist file (PLS/etc) related security fix. So, although pretty unlikely to be exploited, it's a good idea to upgrade. As well as that, there are a few new features, including per-extension saved settings and CD support for restricted/limited Win2k/XP users."
The native MIDI plugin has been updated, too.
Updates & new stuff
The 7Z archive plugin and the native FLAC plugin have been updated to revision 3, the latest 64thNote is online now and a new archive plugin has been released which allows you to read DOOM WAD files. A new version of the Chorium sound font has also been released; the native MIDI plugin description reflects that update now.
Thanks to Maserati and Ian for pointing these out.
[Edit] Also updated Fraggie's SID plugin to revision 25.
Lyrics plugins
A thread on the forum pointed out that XMLyrics no longer works with the current version, so I updated the description texts for both the XMLyrics article and the download.
I also found out how to use MiniLyrics, the instructions are in the download description now. ;-)
New file
Added the Winamp plugin NotSo FatSo, which plays NES NFS files.
Some updates
Here I am again with some updates and new stuff: Minilyrics - a(nother) lyrics viewer that works with XMPlay and WAClassic - a new skin that looks like Winamp 3. Unfortunately, the LCD font used by that skin misses some characters - but that can be fixed, can't it? Just post in this thread, if you're able to help TommyB.
I also recently updated the DDE command list, see this thread for details.
More obvious "Download" link
I finally got around to adding a "Download" link to this page, that also shows the current version number. I admit that it was a bit hard to find the download location between all the Archive files and tutorial pages. Sorry for that!
I also added two new questions and answers to the FAQ.
Server Switch
The XMPlay Support Site was moved to a different server recently, which required some little code changes (PHP's Magic Quotes are a pain). While I was at it, I improved the 404 page: it now automatically searches for the missing item. Try me! ;-)
More source files
Keltic Danor sent me the source files for WAModern and MMD3. Happy hacking, people!
New skin: We'll See..
Just added "We'll See.." by Lasse "raina" Mattila.
[Edit] Updated "We'll See.." to the final version and added the source files, too. Thanks, raina! :-)
