Added:
- "Auto" option for jingle label font size. Checked, the font size will be related with value and buttons height, unchecked, all buttons will have the same font size.
- Advert at startup, if trying to execute Jingle Palette from a network path (like \\192.168...), and exit, instead of getting AeDebug errors and remaning process in the task manager
- Auto-ducking with several settings in Options, Settings, Audio, Devices, and in th FX panel
- Email field in the Error report form, especially recommended to fill for how has no support account, in case of we need to contact you for more informations about error
- Error counter to prevent infinite loop of errors (ie. in timers). The software stops after 3 successive errors. The counter is reset after 10 seconds without error..
- Esc key on Error Report window to close it without reporting anything (but it does not help us to find and fix the problem...)
- Handle of some video files extensions (mp4, mpg, mpeg, avi, wmv, 3gp, asf, asx) to play thei audio track (only) if compatible format
- Hold backspace key more than 500 ms on the virtual keyboard of jingle searchbox, clears the search term
- Holding Exit button over than 1 second shuts down computer without confirmation on button release
- Internal audio processing, so now user could set a second soundcard (ie. to send to a Virtual Cable, to encode/stream/record with software like BUTT)
- Microphone (or other) input, with settings, like Talk Over etc. so user can use Jingle Palette to make a show without mixer, etc., just a microphone and headphones, a virtual cable and encoder are required
- Option to add afterglow on VU-meters
- Option to add one or two rows of Hot Jingles (jingles that stays, on palette change), at top or bottom of palette, useful for often used jingle
- Option to change the amount of jingles per palette (up to 96 jingles) by choosing how many rows and columns to display
- Option to remember audio devices by their position in list or name
- Shortcut (CTRL + ALT) to select jingle to clear (button) and delete (file), or CTRL while clicking on Clear button, from contextual menu
- Translated BASS_ERROR messages, hover the jingle button with mouse to get details, when happen
Changed:
- Assigning a jingle on a missing file jingle button no longer force to load the same file name
- Backups are now done (always at startup) only if the palette.ini (or HotJingles.ini) file has changed in comparation to the most recent backup (palette_backup1.ini, or HotJingles_backup1.ini), to prevent impossibility to restore after 5 startups
- Changing palette now cancel Save palette (button activated) procedure on palette change, to prevent bad saving
- If audio device is not found/initializable, Default device will be used (for Main output and Input devices) or None (for Aux output device)
- In sequential mode, loop length is no longer locked by default if loop length is equal to track duration
- Level measurement method (with new audio routing method) for VU meters should reduce CPU usage on low-power machines
- Message boxes asking for deletion, replacement, or close, with "Yes" and "No" buttons, have now "No" button focused, to prevent accidental confirmation (for example with "Enter" key)
- Play stream now start to play and stop with fade-in/fade-out settings

- Not updating ouput device and its key in jp.ini if could not initialize device previously saved in jp.ini (for example if device no longer exists)
- Saving a new palette was purposing the last loaded palette name (resulting to replace this palette if accidentaly clic a second time on "Save palette")
- Some unchanged parameters value ​​were even saved unnecessarily in jp.ini
- Wrong behaviors between play, stop, auto mix by Time Announce and auto-ducking for Play Stream
- Wrong display of Effects, Volume and Position panel, where the half bottom of Effects tab could sometimes been hidden
