Nightly builds will now include AE, so I won't be posting more builds here, but starting 05/10/2012 you can get them with AE from:

The list of bugfixes is pretty lengthy, but I believe we've nailed down the one's you guys have brought up recently, and of course we welcome new bug-reports and general feedback on good things too. The three development threads will likely be closed shortly and new one's started in the more general help and support areas of the forum.

The issue with crashing on receiver input switching should be gone now, as well as the dvd menu crash, to name two fixes in the last couple of days.

We've been working on a seperate branch for next month's merge window as this one closes tomorrow. Bug-fixes can be pushed to master any time though and will continue to be the first priority. Gnif has written a new class and methods for handling DSP's (digital signal processors) and I have written two so far - a headphones enhancement and a low-pass filter for subs when upmixing. Next is a DRC (dynamic range compression) feature for better voice clarity similar to a "night mode" on many receivers, making movies less "loud" while allowing you to hear speech better.

We also have a lot to do in terms of documentation (the Wiki for one) and a better GUI settings page, hopefully over the next month or so.

Thanks for all the testing work so far, and hope you enjoy our efforts as much as we do
