 * Add support for the mp4/m4a files downloaded by youtube-dl.
   Now when opening a mp4 file, smplayer will check if there's a 
   file with the same name but extension m4a. In that case the m4a file 
   will be used as the audio.

   This is intented to play the DASH format from Youtube, where the video and
   audio are in separated files. The application youtube-dl can download
   those files.

   This feature can be turned off by setting autoload_m4a to false in 
   smplayer.ini (no option in the GUI yet).

   Notice: you need a recent version of mplayer or mplayer2. With older
   versions seeking don't work with these files.

(2013-07-23)

(2013-07-22)
 * Another fix for finding subtitles. Sometimes it doesn't return any 
   result with 2 items in the search but it does with 1. 
   Workaround: use 3 items... Seems to work in all cases.

(2013-07-21)
 * Read the script from the file ytsig.script in the smplayer config
   directory.
 * Ask the user to update the youtube code when an unknown signature is

   smplayer has been compiled without support for youtube.

 * Check for infinite recursion in favorites.

(2013-06-13)
 * Bugfix. The list of subtitles found at opensubtitles was not deleted, so
   the list of subtitles wrongly displayed subtitles for previous searches.

(2013-06-07)
 * A new icon has been added for the mplayer error dialog.

(2013-06-05)
 * Bugfix in the skingui. In fullscreen mode, the menubar would appear if the
   mouse was near of the top of the video area. Now it shows only if the mouse
   is near of the top of the main window.
 * Display a wait cursor during the creation of the preferences and properties 
   dialogs.

(2013-06-03)
 * Save/restore the window state.

(2013-05-22)
 * Add an option for command line: -delete-config.
   This option deletes the smplayer configuration files.
   The files which are deleted are: smplayer.ini, smplayer_files.ini, 
   styles.ass and all files in the subdirectory file_settings.

(2013-05-16)

 * Bugfix: check for the skin in the user dir before falling back to the
   default gui.

(2013-05-13)

   Hopefully this will fix loading of external subtitles if the 
   filename contains non latin characters.

(2013-05-12)

[b]Version 0.8.5[/b]:

(2013-04-30)
 * The SkinGUI is now the default gui.

(2013-04-28)
 * The option "Move the window when the video area is dragged" is
   now disabled by default because it has some issues that need to
   be fixed.

(2013-04-24)
 * Connect to opensubtitles.org using xmlrpc instead of using the
   simplexml method, which it seems it's not working well and that causes
   that smplayer couldn't find subtitles. This fixes the problem.

(2013-04-20)
 * Add two new options for Audio -> Stereo mode: Mono and Reverse.

(2013-04-07)

 * Add the option "Pressing the stop button once resets the time position"
   in preferences -> interface -> seeking.

(2013-03-07)
 * (Testing) Now smplayer checks for updates automatically. 
   On startup it connects to the smplayer web to know if there's a new 
   version available and in that case the user gets a notification.
   The check is only done once per week, and it can be totally disabled
   by setting "enabled=false" in the [update_checker] section in smplayer.ini.

(2013-03-04)
 * Add the checkbox "Move the window when the video area is dragged"

 * Don't use slices as default, as it seems to cause problems when using
   multiple threads.

(2012-11-08)
 * (Windows) When a new version is run for the first time it tries to
   create a font cache before showing the GUI. Avoids that the font cache
   would be created when the user plays the first video.

(2012-11-05)
 * (Windows) Don't change the priority of the smplayer process. Fixes a
   freeze that may happen on windows xp when you click on the video window.

(2012-10-28)

 * New option for smplayer.ini: time_to_kill_mplayer. Specifies the
   time (in milliseconds) that smplayer should wait before killing
   the mplayer process if the process doesn't teminate on its own
   when the stop button is pressed. Default value: 5000.


[b]Version 0.8.1[/b]:

(2012-09-14)
 * Fix youtube playback.

(2012-08-26)

   identification string.

(2012-08-24)
 * Show the background picture on stop.

(2012-08-14)

   with options to edit the toolbars (including the control bars).
   That will show a new dialog, with two list. On the left you'll see
   all available actions (mainly buttons, but also volume or seek sliders) 
   and on the right the current actions.
   The left and right buttons allow to move actions from one list to the
   other. The up and down buttons move the selected action in the current
   actions' list.
   The "add separator" button allows to add more separators.
   The "defaults" button removes all your changes in the current actions' 
   list and sets the default actions for the toolbar.

(2012-03-08)
 * Use QtSingleApplication instead of the old client/server code to use a 
   single instance and communication with other instances.
 * Possibility (smplayer.pro) to disable the build of some parts of the
   code (QtSingleApplication, Youtube support, Find subtitles and 
   video preview).
 * Fix: the buttons to select the color of the subtiles in preferences ->
   subtitles may not change the background color with some styles. Now the
   color is changed using a stylesheet, so it should work with all styles.

(2012-03-03)
