Tips
====

Profiles from versions before 0.99 prebeta 3 can not be used by this version of EAC. If you would like to import these, you need a side by side installation of the new EAC version and the older one. Load the settings in the older one and exit the program. Then start the new EAC and save that profile.
 
When installing EAC in a different directory than your old EAC, all your CD information will be gone. To add the old information use the "Database / Import Database..." command and select the file in your old EAC directory.

It is possible that under Vista the WMA compression will not work, this is due to restrictions in the scripting host. 
Try to install a hotfix from Microsoft, you can find it on http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/929182
There are several other workarounds, e.g. starting EAC with admin rights. A different approach is to disable the DEP feature of Windows permanently , enter from a command shell (started with admin rights) :
bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff

What’s new in version 0.99 prebeta 5

===========================

This version only contains some bugfixes, mainly the CD burning part is fixed, but also many small corrections are taken from the 0.95pb1 that make already progress

Also the lock ups in the wave editor may occur again or may be gone now, please tell about your experiences if you encountered problems before

What's new in version 0.9 beta 3
===========================

Most FFT procedures are now in assembler, increasing speed for many audio filters and also for spectral display, which additionally has increased bands

Several smaller additions and improvements

Hopefully bugfixed all other minor problems

What's new in version 0.9 beta 2
===========================

This version is only a bug fix for the previous release.

What's new in version 0.9 beta 1

GUI restructured, added new buttons, changed button type to flat buttons. Artist and CD information is now directly accessible through the main window

Profile usage is now easier and can be selected by a drop down box on the main window

Updated freedb usage to proto 5

Configuration Wizard to setup basic drive, encoder and freedb configuration for beginner users

Option setting for leaving out all advanced features, making it easier for beginners

Secondary C2 extraction mode (may work better for some kind of erraneous CDs and for some but not every drive. Even if it may be misused for copy protected CDs, using this mode on protected CDs is only allowed when legal in your country)

Manual detection of TOC, usefull if a CD is defective and displays wrong track positions or data tracks instead of audio, EAC will try to detect the CD structure by analysis

Uncompressed and compressed extraction is now divided, so compression options will missing "Internal WAV routines"

More placeholders for external command line encoders in "User Defined Encoder" format, see FAQ for details
