Stereo Tool 8.20 is released!
Changes:
- Added option to run Stereo Tool as a service.
- RDS: Moved reading RDS from file to a separate thread, should avoid hiccups when reading from network drives.
- Added code to handle (restart) and log crashes in sound card drivers and VLC. Not yet fully tested.
- Linux: Now using Ubuntu 14.04 instead of 16.04 to build (better backward compatibility).
- Linux: Now statically linking libstd (better backward compatibility).
- Linux: Switched to newer compiler for better performance (+20%, on both Intel and ARM).
- Web server: Whitelist allows * as in 192.168.*.* instead of /16 (Leifs formatting), always allow 127.0.0.1.
- Compressors: Volume jumps on preset changes reduced (compressor adjusts to changing target level).
- Declipper: Detection (veil) didn't always work properly with > 60 kHz input sample rate.
- Performance: Reduced CPU load of I/O and processing framework.
- GUI: Hovering over tray icon now shows version number.
- GUI: Changed scale of many sliders, dB scale sliders are now 'flat' over the whole range.
- Bug fix: Potential sound card glitches (bug introduced in 8.12).
- Bug fix: Crash reported by Camclone
- Bug fix: FM test tones were broken when using Ignore high frequencies (bug introduced in 8.12).
- Bug fix: VST plugin no longer cuts off the start of songs (bug introduced in 8.14).
- Bug fix: UECP port was always used (even if FM disabled).
- Bug fix: Potential bug in non-ASIO code could cause crashes depending on compiler optimizations (never seen).
- Bug fix: Potential crackle in lowest multiband band fixed.
- Rewrote error logging code.
- Omnia 9sg: Builds with the new framework now.
- SST: Make IP/PORT changable without web gui.
- SST: Preset list was empty on first start
- SST: Improved naming of settings in Processing section.
- SST: Web interface code compiles separate from SST now.
- SST: Added importing Stereo Tool presets.
- SST: Multiple MicroMPX output IP addresses and ports CN.
- SST: Launch browser automatically on first start.
- SST: Improved startup screen.
- SST: Currently active presets highlighted.
- SST: Prepared for longer list of MicroMPX IP/ports (partially there).
- SST: Clicking on meters in top bar takes you to the page directly.
- SST: Top bar meter that corresponds with active screen is highlighted.
- SST: Add glowing yellow line around SST tray icon, to make it more visible.
- MicroMPX decoder: Buffer underruns seen on ARM version, caused by logging/tracing library.
- MicroMPX decoder: Shows more startup info and waits for pressing ENTER at end (command line).
- MicroMPX decoder: Improved handling of out-of-order and lost packets.
There is also a new (beta) version of Thimeo WatchCat available. This is a small program that looks at a watch folder and processes all files in that directory, and puts the processed files in another directory. You can select multiple output directories with different processing and file types, if needed. You can also drag and drop files onto it.

This version is no longer only usable for audio files, you can now use scripting to process or normalize (R128!) audio in video's too. To be able to use the scripting you'll need a license, you can test it without a license but it will add some beep sounds. The version without scripting is free - except that you might need a Stereo Tool license if you use paid Stereo Tool options in your preset.
Known issues at this moment:
- R128 normalization: True Peak level might be off, because it doesn't overrule the 'Post Amp' setting yet. (Set it to 0.00 dB in your preset as a workaround).
- Settings should be reset on startup (before you select a preset), that doesn't happen.
- No error message shown when the license isn't accepted.
- Some fonts are too small on 4K screen
