What's new in this version:

- New and improved Properties dialog, with the ability to manipulate attached pictures as well as scan and modify ReplayGain values
- Greatly improved Selection Properties performance for large track lists
- Various prompts (such as delete/recycle) now come with a “do not show this again” checkbox
- Restored pre-1.4 behavior of main-window-hidden/notification-icon-only status being remembered after foobar2000 restart
- Added logging of Media Library scanning errors - “show errors” button in Media Library Preferences
- Added Advanced Preferences option for flushing playback queue on manual track change (default: on)
- Made “Open containing folder” command work with tracks in archives - opens folder containing the archive
- Added an option to preserve last-modified timestamps of tracks when updating tags
- Additional safeguards against corrupted configuration in case of a system crash while saving (FlushFileBuffers)
- File Operations: delete/recycle prompt always says “Delete” rather than “Recycle”, since not every volume supports recycle action
- FFmpeg 3.4.6, now compiled with MS compiler, binary size reduced due to DLL runtime
- FLAC 1.3.3
- Implemented reading of cue+bin audio CD images
- Implemented asynchronous drag&drop, for less stalls when dragging tracks from foobar2000 to another program
- Removed transacted filesystem support. There are no known benefits to it and even Microsoft documentation says not to use it
- Improved programming interfaces for External Tags and Skip Track components
- Made album art loading/resizing operations in Default User Interface asynchronous. Large pictures no longer make the app momentarily unresponsive
- Converter: Added Opus encoder selection for –music / –speech modes
- Converter: New list control in various dialogs. Column sizes are remembered
- Improved playback position reporting with Skip Silence and similar DSP effects
- Made possible to check for updates of components listed but not hosted on foobar2000.org
- Enabled embedded cuesheet support for MP3 files
- Made WavPack/DSD MD5 visible - using another field so Verifier doesn't try to verify it
