- Updated to 20.07.2010 svn (r31757): many generic fixes and optimisations, VP8 codec, ...

- Force MPlayer to notify the GUI module about current DVD subtitles/audiotracks at startup, to avoid selecting wrong items in audio tracks/subtitles lists
- Added an option to choose if last visited path should be remembered and restored when choosing a file
- Added an option to choose if last playlist should be remembered and restored at startup
- After interrupting a network stream, the next title in playlist would sometimes fail to play

Text viewer: EvenMore 0.68 (20.7.10)
Chris Perver's EvenMore is a text viewer written in AmigaE. Changes since the last release:
- Sped up various parts of the code by moving ListItem() functions out of loops and replacing them with static lists
- FileTypes.plugin now uses less memory, and doesn't have to scan all of filetypes.txt if a match is found
- Fixed memory allocation problems in Arc2Text which would cause it to lose file information if you browsed more than one LHA archive
- Fixed bug in EvenMore which sometimes prevented more than one plugin processing a file
- Updated HTML2Text plugin to open files viewed through the LHA plugin
- Arc2Text plugin will now store LHA output in a unique filename in RAM: using the timestamp of the file in question. This will enable the plugin to skip the LHA extraction if the file has been viewed recently.
- Directories will now be displayed first in the Arc2Text viewer
- Arc2Text can now extract files and view them by clicking on a file name
