kJams Pro Changelog

What's new in kJams Pro 1.0a01r17

Jan 22, 2013
  • Windows
  • in the file open dialog, you can now double click on a file and it will work (used to ignore it)
  • auto-cue is now faster
  • no longer logging "Browser removing source" when switching venues, AND when we DO log it, you get more info about WHAT source is removed
  • deleting playlists and playlist items is a bit more strict about how/when (trying to catch server bug)
  • no longer crash if you try to set the server search playlist on Lite (since there is no server)
  • no longer crash if server receives an item reorder message where the item index is out of range
  • if your music resides in a file path that had the word "iTunes" *anywhere* in it, it would cause duplicates rather than replacing, when renaming. It used to also happen if you named a folder eg: "This music came from iTunes", now the folder name must be EXACTLY "iTunes".
  • saving the "Columns" when serving a playlist is now more robust (trying to catch server bug)
  • Got rid of "Rotation" menu item from Window menu, not gonna make it for 1.0
  • When logging spooler tracking, it now goes on one line instead of being split up
  • Karaoke Cloud and Chartbuster are just gone from the interface. Karaoke Cloud will be back when it is actually available.
  • Server web search now cleans up after itself, no longer leaving a zillion files behind
  • fixed a bug where auto-cue would leave the playhead at the beginning while paused (un-pause would move it correctly however)
  • logging of rebuild of rotation is more better
  • implemented Messenger Looping
  • fixed a bug where Messenger was not calculating the message transit time correctly (again)
  • fixed a bug (mac) where the Browser window was not being restored to it's correct position
  • fixed a bug that you couldn't have seen: file paths are "more correctly" saved on mac
  • i swear you really won't crash if you pick "use this playlist for server search" using the Lite version. Cuz you can't!
  • when ripping CDs & SuperCDGs etc, kjams no longer leaves behind a zillion temp folders
  • when the server is running, kjams again no longer leaves behind a zillion temp folders
  • when you hide a column, kjams remembers the recent size so if you show it again, it has the same size. note: it will forget the recent size when you quit. after that, when you show it, it will be back to "default" size
  • when showing a column, it will use the recent size (if you just hid it), or always use the default size, RATHER THAN the maximum size. this was causing file path columns to show up way too big
  • no longer possible to crash on startup if you press a key on the keyboard at *just* the wrong time
  • There is a new meta data column called "Duet Comment", so you can type the name of the duet partner, if you want. otherwise not extremely useful. saved on each singer's song
  • Rotation playlists can now show file paths
  • copy and paste work again in Producer to move CDG instructions

New in kJams Pro 1.0d52r59 (Aug 3, 2012)

  • no longer crashes trying to play WMV files, but it won't play them either (yet)
  • FEATURE: you can now "pre-cache" a song by right clicking it and picking the command from the menu (works on singers too)
  • FEATURE: you can now "mark as sung" a song in the "KJ Rotation" playlist (not the Rotation)
  • when a song is marked as sung (in any way), the browser will update later by sending a new command to the event que, rather than updating it *now*. trying to isolate the crashes here.
  • Tempo is now correctly set as a float, so wtkJams can display it correctly
  • fixed a spooler hang (infinite progress bar) under certain error conditions
  • support for showing "last sung time" and put a song into faves from the Rotation list, for wtkJams
  • fixed a non-obvious bug where numbers were getting truncated when putting them into dictionaries (a catalog of numbers). this mostly didn't affect you, but it bothered me, and prevented wtkJams from working right (see above)
  • the "Karaoke Locker" purchase URL has been updated
  • fixed a crasher that happens just as a new song is going to play (was updating the microphone, and doing things on a back thread that are only legal on the main thread)
  • fixed total failure of KJPro and freedb and friends
  • also fixed problems arising AFTER you tried to use the above (volume went offline or whatever error message)
