Changes between 1.1.2 and 1.3.0 ------------------------------- Release: April 23th 2015 Notes: >> Worked a lot on cleaning the code (and there's much to do left), optimizations, fixing bugs, etc... >> 99% of our code is now shared between Windows Phone and Windows, we're basically ready for the Windows 10 SDK migration. Changelog: * Updated User Interface * Optimisations of XAML code, which is between 50% and 130% faster (parsing and layout rendering). * LastFM scrobbling working on Windows * Browse music and videos from folders. For example if your songs are not correctly tagged, you can browse in VLC and "play a folder" just like you would play an album. * XAML Responsive Design enhancements : we're trying to use your screen as best as possible. On tiny screens we removed the "now playing" title which is useless, and on a big screen we give more options with extra buttons, etc. * Use of Windows 10 APIs via Reflection for setting a custom, orange window background color. * New icons, margins and alignments are more polished (even if it's still work in progress) * Refresh button in the Video Library, just like the Music library * Search videos or albums easily. * Updated design for Video Player (still very work in progress though) * Adding Semantic Zoom in the Albums view, with custom selection of ordering (by artist, by date, by album). * We added a back button so devices like Lumia 730 or future tiny tablets will be able to go back easily. * Using the same colors as VLC for Android/iOS. Along with lots of bug fixes, etc. Please don't forget: >> This version is still far from perfect and we would like to hear your feedback. What you like and dislike, what features you want us to add, etc. >> Windows Phone got v1.3 today however we're not releasing this update on Windows. Known bugs: * The video player still sucks * Unless you play an MKV file or an uncommon video, you won't be able to choose an embedded or external subtitle, nor specify an audio track. * The latest Windows 10 Mobile builds are really buggy and lots of apps are crashing, so don't expect much stability over there.
