# What's new?
- New setting: Delay when starting with Windows. For those who use Google Drive, OneDrive, etc., or other programs that need to load before Salamandra. It will be possible to set a time for Salamandra to wait before actually starting.
- New "Gain" effect in Audio Processing, to amplify or reduce the overall volume of the player without the need to use the AGC or Compressor Gain.

# Improvements
- New visual for the Sweepers enable/disable button, to be more explicit whether it is enabled or disabled.
- It will be possible to "preview" changes in Audio Processing without the need to confirm to see the result.

# Fixes
- Fix in the loading of audios that caused an error that forced the player engine to stop.
- Fix when closing any Events, Cartwall and Sweepers windows and the pre-listen continues to play.
- Fix in .slrot lists to persist the next track that was manually selected by the user.

# What's new?
- Artist/track separation configuration by time. To use the rules, you will need to use the new random folder (blue), the rules will be applied only in these. The old folders (yellow) will not use the rules.
- Now it is possible to select the mode of each individual random track between Random, Least Played, Least Recently Played.
- New playlist file formats: .slrot and .slseq, to ​​perform the same functions as .rot and .seq. The new formats are capable of saving custom names for URLs and track attributes. The old .rot and .seq will still work, but for new playlists it is recommended to switch to the new ones from now on.
- Log Explorer to export log information, such as audio playback, in simplified TXT or CSV format.
- Track preload settings: to make mixing smoother, it will be possible to preload audio, rot and seq tracks at a set time before the current track ends.
- You can now open the Cartwall and Explorer in a popup window.
- Events can now be separated into groups. In order for the groups to be saved, the event list must be saved in the new .slsche format.
- New file type option: Do not export metadata/CurrentSong of this type.
- New mixing option: "Do not allow mix point to exceed x seconds". If the option to detect track end/mix point is enabled, this new option will limit the maximum that the track's mix point will be dynamically moved.
- New mixing option: "Disable fade if distance between track end and mix is ​​less than x seconds". If the option to detect end of track/mix point is active, this option will control whether or not to apply the fade depending on the length of the track and the mix time. For example, a track that lasts 3:30 but the mix is ​​at 3:28 may not need to fade out, unlike a track that lasts 3:30 but mixes at 3:20.

# Improvements
- Improved processing of dynamic tracks (rot/seq) so that loading is faster.
- The remaining time of the track will be counted until the moment the audio will mix, instead of the total duration.
- The mix point will be shown as a red line over the audio time bar.
- It is now possible to change the output device of the main player without having to restart Salamandra.
- Audio tags will be loaded in the background when opening the playlist. It will be possible to manipulate the playlist while the tags are loading.
- By default, Sweepers will be randomly selected if more than one applies to an audio.
- Double-clicking on the history will show the tags in the tag box for audio tracks. You can also left-click to go directly to the file or copy the error message to help report problems.

# Fixes
- Fixed a bug that caused two songs to play at the same time. Previously, if the entire audio was below the end-of-track detection level, Salamandra would mix as soon as the audio started. Now, if the entire audio is below the level, it will use the default mixing time instead of the end-of-track detection.
- Mixing options will no longer apply to CD tracks (.cda). This format does not allow mixing, since it is not possible to play more than one CD track at the same time.
- Fixed reading of negative temperature files. TMPNxxx naming now works correctly.
- Fixed bug in SEQ/ROT playlists where folder or file names that contained the equal symbol (=) made the playlist invalid.
- When applying Talk Over Fade, the volume slider will be temporarily disabled during the transition time to avoid bugs where the volume becomes out of sync when changed at the same time as the fade.

* New way to check if an audio track has finished, for those who encountered a problem where the audio track ended, but did not go to the next one, leaving the player frozen.
