@negge - DRC will force LPCM, so will work with all formats except DTS-MA (until ffmpeg adds decoding of DTS-MA), so it will be a single button "night mode" as you want. For DTS-MA we'll use the DTS core, which isn't really an issue quality-wise as we're doctoring the audio anyways for DRC. Pretty sure that gives you what you want.

@TRaSH - since the mege to master is done, I would definitely use a clean install - safest route.

@jjd-uk - I'll be doing a write-up for the monthly update on the main xbmc.org page and the wiki for month's end (or sooner) that will describe the changes/capabiities/etc

@loekf - eek - no AE-related, but ouch. There are many many large things that went into this merge cycle - AE is the biggest, but there were changes to thumbnail storage/caching, the confluence gui, and many more. One issue I see in master is thumbnail related - the first time you use it will be quite slow, and thereafter a little slower. JMarshall has changed the handling of thumbs, which is a good thing, and will be working on performance improvements there.

It was a huge month overall. With the amount that went in, expect a few broken eggs. That's why the next few weeks until June 1st are feature-freeze/fixes only.

There was an issue with WASAPI shared not being deprecated - the pr didn't make it into final merge. If you grabbed last nights then definitely grab a fresh nightly tomorrow. I just pushed the commit removing WASAPI shared to master an hour ago. If you are using nightlies the change will show up tomorrow.

For everyone: if you are pulling and compiling your own - be absolutely sure you are compiling a release version with optimization turned on!! If you are unsure how to do this then please use nightlies!!
