Volume & Pan settings applied via the Rotary dials or Mix Inspector are now saved with the loaded track.
Added a Global Override switch to the Mix Inspector.
Added a basic Group properties editor for AudioCodex playlists, allowing Artist, Album, Genre and Rating to be set for multiple selected tracks in one action.
Visualizer modules are now grouped in the source-list by library folder location.
Added Visualizer presets support, allowing users to save & restore named settings for visualizers.
Added 2 cool new visualizer modules: 'Level Meters' and 'Mescaline'.

General User Interface / Experience Improvements:

New icons and layout adjustments to the Source list making it more 'Leopard-Finder-like'.
Main window splitview configuration is now fully maintained across successive launches.
Source-list configuration is now maintained across successive launches.
Inspector window size and position are now maintained across successive launches.
Inspector window tab selection and subview disclosure states are now maintained across successive launches.
Hidden playlist table columns are preserved across successive launches.
Shuffle Mode state is preserved across successive launches.
Improved menu validation; 'more' menu items are enabled & disabled dynamically.
Added 'Genre' field to AudioCodex playlists, and improved the code that handles the display of modification and addition dates.
Improved Export Savepanel options:.
human-readable codec (data format) descriptions.
'Crop to Loop' checkbox.
'Process enabled effects' checkbox.
Re-enabled the 'Rescan Compostion Folders' menu item on the Visualizer Inspector utility popup menu.
'Reset Audio Engine' and 'Reset AudioGraph' Help menu items now function correctly.
'Reset Preferences' Help menu item now alerts the user that a relaunch will be required, and automatically quits & relaunches AudioCodex.
Tweaks to various custom gui elements in the Inspector.
Improved contextual menus for QuickTime movies and Visualisers.

Major Bugfixes:

Fixed a bug where it was possible for the user to change the name of a Playlist or Watched Folder to an empty string, which would subsequently cause critical errors in displaying playlists, and which would persist across successive launches unless the app was immediately force-quit after the offending name-change was made. The only way to fix this error thereafter was to delete AudioCodex's playlist file.
Added additional error-checking code to auto-generate names for playlists & watched folders, allowing previously 'corrupted' playlists to be displayed.
Fixed a bug where loop-out markers could intermittently be reset to the end of the song.
Fixed a bug where loop-out markers could be intermittently ignored during playback.
Fixed a bug where an iTunes playlist would fail to display any tracks if any track in the list had no 'Location' value..
