Release Notes
**************

Workspace Window:

A new window titled "Phon : Workspace" is now displayed when the 
application is started. Actions for opening projects, creating new 
projects, importing older projects, and creating archives of projects 
can be found in the workspace window.

  * Menu commands "File->New" and "File > Open" have been replaced by 
"File > Workspace", which displays the new workspace window and related 
commands.

  * PhonWorkspace is now a user-selectable property.  The workspace 
folder can be changed via the "Workspace folder" section of the new 
"Phon : Workspace" interface.

  * Added option to extract a project from an older .phon file or a .zip 
archive from the start dialog.  Phon 1.3 projects are upgraded 
automatically when detected and the original 1.3 project is placed in 
the ${workspace}/backups folder.

  * Added option to archive projects in the workspace folder from the 
start dialog.  Archived projects are placed in ${workspace}/backups

  * Added option to view project in the OS file system viewer from the 
start dialog.

Media:

  * VLC can now be installed with Phon (embedded) on Windows and Mac OS 
X. On multi-user systems, it is recommended to install the embedded 
version of VLC.

  * A list of default media folders can now be setup in the application 
preferences. Phon will search for media in the order which the folders 
appear in the list.

  * Video playback in the Media & Segmentation view will now loop as 
intended.

  * All media segment exports will now default to folder 
<project>/__res/media/segments/

  * Can now 'unset' media for a session by using a new context-menu 
available by right-clicking the media location label in the Session Info 
view.

  * The .wav file for the Waveform view is now created in the same 
folder as the source media file instead of the <project>/__res/media 
folder for the project.

  * The 'Show More' button in the Waveform view now extends the 
displayed interval by 1s (up from 0.5s) on each side.

General:

  * Application preferences have been re-organized into tabs.

  * Improved method for copying large files on Windows XP.

  * Resetting view in the Session Editor will now delete the 
editorlayout.bin file location in the user preferences folder.

  * Records can now be sorted by up to 3 tiers.  The sort function is 
available via the "Record > Sort Records..." menu item of the Session 
Editor.

  * Tier font can be reset via a new context menu available by 
right-clicking the tier name in the Tier Information view.

  * Default folder for all open/save dialogs is now the selected 
workspace folder.

  * Fixed several small UI bugs/typos.
