- x #B798: setlocale() remove from DLL
- x #B785, DVCPRO HD: streams can be 8 or 10 bit, removing hard coded value from DV parser (MXF header value is used instead when applicable)
- x MPEG-4: wrong demux of some E-AC-3 streams
- x AAC: detection of HE-AACv2 was missing if the library is configured with fast detection
- x MPEG Video: wrong computing of duration of raw stream in case of drop frame time code
- x Automation, StreamKind type was set to integer, it is text
- x MPEG-4: was reading lot of useless bytes from disk when the raw stream format is not known
- x AVI: crash with some malformed text streams
- x Reference/playlist files were not supported from FTP (custom builds only)
