To quote: This is the last release (by me) before setting the 3.0 stamp. Hopefully there are no serious issues lurking and if so I hope to be able to release 3.0 in a couple of days.

I know there is still alot of bugs (although not as many as I would expect, to be honest) to be squashed and a lot more features to be implemented.

On top of this I have a lot more ideas in my head for stuff I would like to add. But as always, time is a limiting factor.

A list of changes since 2.99.401 release:

• Popup menu redesigned a bit
  
• Add support for Windows 1251 codepage
  
• upnp: Make sure that we really find subtitles when doing a blind probe. This bug has caused problems for some people making some video not start at all.
  
• Make it possible to enter credentials in the auth popup that is not saved to disk
  
• Add support for passing mimetypes internally. This speed up media loading and playback start.
  
• PS3: Update XMB icon (better centered)
  
• Make SRT subtitle discovery better
  
• Add support for setting subtitle output delay
  
• Add seek-by-thumbnail in the command popup menu (looks very bad on PS3 at the moment though)
  
• ui: Redesign the auth popup
  
• Improve the setting views
  
• PS3: Add support for BD remote
  
• Add support for cycling between audio and subtitle tracks using a single button
  
• Make presentation of audio and subtitle tracks better
  
• Improve subtitle rendering. There is a lot of changes here. see bc0cf58e and 76142920
  
• PS3: Display all reasonable entries found in system VFS root as services on their own
  
• PS3: If display operates in non-square pixel 16:9 mode, scale UI accordingly
  
• Use libav.org's recently released 0.7 version (with a couple of bug fixes on top)
