3.14.0 - 2024-07-24

Added

• UI: header color is now configurable.
• UI: header size is now configurable (full panel/map size).
• UI: added album art caching for panel background whenever selecting/playing track changes but belongs to the same album. It checks for same album name and parent directory.

Changed

• UI: better compatibility when locale tag contains the ISO 3166 2-letter code, instead of a country name. Header now displays the country name associated instead of the ISO code or none.
• Helpers: improved performance of duplicates removal in multiple places.
• Helpers: json data files are now saved with Windows EOL for compatibility improvements with Windows text editors.
• Configuration: changed the remove duplicates bias to prefer lossless tracks with 16 bits per sample, 44.1 Khz sample rate and greater %DYNAMIC RANGE% values.
• Configuration: expanded user configurable file at '[FOOBAR PROFILE FOLDER]\js_data\presets\global\globSettings.json' with a new setting for console logging to file. Disabled by default. Now this is a change from the previous behavior, where console was always logged to 'console.log' file at the [FOOBAR PROFILE FOLDER]. It can now be switched, but since it's probably not useful for most users is disabled by default.
• Improved compatibility when running foobar2000 on drives without recycle bin.

Removed

Fixed

• UI: locale tag not retrieved in some cases from bio panel due to tag name case not matching.
