- 0.26 Alpha
- 1. A quick fix to index generation
-
- 0.25 Alpha
- 1. Better support for XVID encoded videos, although still the original xvid decoder is
- recommended (ffdshow is not supported).
- 2. ôSave asö feature is now operational. So one can save previews of videos being
- downloaded and watch them in a common player. Corrupted files can be fixed
- permanently this way. It only works as ôSave asö under a different name, you cannot
- write into the file you previewing, should be updated in later releases.
- 3. File switching and update speedup.
- 4. All known memory leaks are fixed.
- 5. Volume control
- 6. Right mouse click brings a floating menu up with major control functions.
- 7. Zoom functions: 50%, 100%, 200%, Full Screen.
- 8. Cleanup of the recently accessed files (in the Tools menu).
- 9. Smaller number of DirectX warnings in general and ability to switch them off
- permanently (Settings->Show DirectX Warnings). Caution, if you turn it off, there
- will be no way for you to know what went wrong (in case anything did).
- 10. Better stability (again hopefully :).
- 11. I am back to MFC 4.2, so all win98 troubles should be gone.
-
-
- Issues (discovered):
- 1. Some DirectX filters may leak memory. It is general DirectX problem not much
- can be done here. Just restart Avipreview once in a while and (win2000-XP)
- system should perform the cleanup.

- 0.21 Alpha
- -------------
- 1. Tired of fighting the stability issues under WinXP-Win2000 I just recompiled the
- program in VC++7.0 (6.0 before) and linked statically MFC 7.0 (dynamic dlls
- MFC 4.2 before). Have not experienced a single crash since. Did not change a
- single line of code û weird but is the way it is. Looks like DirectX and MFC 4.2
- just not go along very well.
-
- 0.20 Alpha
- -------------
- 1. MPG (MPEG) support is now on.
- 2. AVI index generation has a progress bar and can be stopped any time. On next
- file data update it will continue from the point you stopped.
- 3. Smart Key Frame search algorithm. On more than 50% of AVI file keyframes can
- be found precisely resulting in better seeking performance. The algorithm
- introduces no additional computational load. User can turn the algorithm
- ON/OFF.
- 4. Win 2000-XP: third party applications can move/rename/delete the file you are
- previewing
- 5. Win98-ME: File releasing is now correct.
- 6. Controls are disabled then index generation is the progress.
- 7. Faster index generation algorithm. Plus some bugs fixed.
- 8. Stop button: stop and release the file.
- 9. Keyboard shortcuts to main commands
- 10. Tooltips for buttons are now always on.
- 11. Hopefully more informative error messages.
-
- 0.17 Alpha
- -------------
- 1. File->Open works even for extremely long file names.
- 2. Video should now be always visible (toggle full screen on/off).
- 3. Once file information has been updated the movie rewinds to the last played
- portion.
- 4. Slider works a bit better.
-
- 0.16 Alpha
- -------------
- 1. ôCheck for updateö now really checks only the part of the file which has not been
- checked since the last index regeneration. Update is MUCH faster now.
- 2. Using ôEscö to go from full screen back to windowed mode. Well, the issue of
- video window disappearance is still where but happens less often. Perhaps, it
- happens only in my setup. None seems to complain about it. Anyway, (TMP
- solution) move the main program window (or change its size) for windows to
- appear. Or press Esc again (go full screen) and then go windowed mode.
- 3. ôEmpty start of the fileö- took a lot of time for program to realize that nothing
- could be done here. Now AVIPreview by AJ checks explicitly if the beginning of
- the file is present and looks like AVI. So it takes no time to figure out that where
- is no data in the start of the file.
- 4. Update or opening a new file causes the internal video window to jump out of the
- main frame. Solved.
- 5. Visit www.avipreview.com does not work on some platforms. Now it should be
- in working order.
-
- 0.1 ALPHA û First Release
-
- Issues (discovered):
- 3. Esc (toggle full screen on) may not work. Temp solution: use go full screen
- button.
