Winamp 5.666 Released (Build 3516)

[MrSinatra]

thanks DrO and Egg and all the other devs.

I use winamp all the time. its the best for what I like to do. I hope this is only a temporary ending.

but I just want to reiterate my appreciation to all you guys who helped me and listened to me and made the best player better, and also to Frankel who was smart enough to get the ball rolling.

thanks!!!

Same here. Thanks for all your efforts guys. Now try to relax and have a great xmas and new year.

"Now try to relax"... I don't know, if I am able to relax, maybe not right now... A great xmas? Without the Winamp-Website and without the old Winamp Forums?... But yes, I have a wish for xmas, and You all know, what I wish, there is no object to touch, there is some virtual. I think, I am not the only one, who has this very special wish for xmas...

I have just downloaded again all the installer-setups. I am always making enough backup-copies, and You should do that, too, onto all Your computers, USB-Sticks, external harddrives, DVDS, but also on more than only 1 filehoster / cloud (for private use), in case the house or apartment could suddenly burn. Sure, also filehippo.com, oldversion.com, oldapps.com & co have the installer-setups, but I prefer these setups directly from winamp.com and the old forums.

I have to say that again and again: Thank You all for Your very good work!... I will miss You all very soon...

same here!!!
but anyway I will continue to use Winamp,
one of the best software pieces ever made!

[Sabine Klare]

Yes, ravermeister. I myself will do that, too. No other media player is so good, only Winamp...

A plethora of fixes.

that's scary seeing all of the changes / fixes in such a way as looks like about what would have been fixed over a 2 year period but done in around 3 months. maybe now I can get some sleep...

So finally the final release, good job, DrO.

As for the German language pack shipped in that version, I've spent a lot of time to verify the whole package, to prevent the issues, we saw in the last build.

We tested things and it it was now safe to remove graphic files, which are not translated. Winamp is using the English graphics from the main files now. This reduced the whole size of the language pack.

Additionally I've verified the accelerator tables, removed unneeded accelerator tables, verified the styles of the dialogs and fixed a lot of typos and tweaked some things, which includes all of the user feedback I got as well.

That is the best German language pack version I've ever done, so safe the best for last, huh?

The external version: http://koopa.meggamusic.co.uk/winampdeutsch

was updated as well and the Winamp-de-de.wlz is now identical with the version shipped in Winamp. The installer will now remember your holiday skin settings, I've fixed a lot of glitches in the installer and it adds localization for DrO's 'ML Exporter' plugin.

Why the size of installer is smaller than the one before?

[Chrissyx]

Great final release, I salute you!

[DrO]

Why the size of installer is smaller than the one before?

because of optimising the language packs and sometimes just due to how the dlls have been built, it may compress better than what was built before it.

After updating to 3516 the problem is in the font playlist.
defaults to 11 pixels Arial, but when I go to the video menu item, font is thicker and bigger. Also, the audio item and all items are then thicker and bigger. Setting but still shows 11 pixels and arial. When I stay on the audio item and not switch to the video item, fotn is ok.
I installed back to 3512, there is everything ok.
I use modern skin

Does anyone similar problem?

i assume you mean http://forums.winamp.com/showpost.ph...&postcount=193 and would suggest trying the workaround mentioned in my replies if that is what you mean.

wheres the "Color Themes" menu under the "Options" Dropdown? is it shifted to a different section?
