- m3u: #EXTINF tag data is displayed in "Short Name" column and can be edited
- m3u: fixed saving #EXTINF lines containing tag data
- m3u: readded "File / Save as" menu item (but not for other types of lists)
- fixed text input in "Favorites" column (for lists that only have favorite markers and not individual numbers)
- converted source code to use SDK/MSBuild project files (for future migration to .NET 7 or 8)
- added "Pooling=False" parameter to all Sqlite connection strings to prevent open file locks after closing the connection and to avoid extreme delays when using CloseAllPools()
- C# code refactoring "using var" instead of "using ( ) { }" where possible
- fixed issues where SQLite database files didn't get unlocked after saving
- fixed quirks with missing e_sqlite3.dll when running unit tests with Resharper
- replaced misuse of "FileLoadException" with a custom LoaderException to handle file loading issues with better continue/fail logic
- removed "Save As" and replaced it with "Convert list" menu item that shows information on how to use a reference list instead of direct conversion
- replaced misuse of "FileLoadException" with a custom LoaderException to handle file loading issues with better continue/fail logic
- removed "Save As" and replaced it with "Convert list" menu item that shows information on how to use a reference list instead of direct conversion
- included latest translation to Polish (thanks to J.D.)
- reorganized File menu and tool bar
- allow renaming channels in SatcoDX channel lists (\*.sdx)
- improved support for Panasonic LS 500 / LX 700 series
- Reference list dialog further optimized to fit 1920x1080 @150% or 1024x768 @100% screens
- re-imported translation file (to fix incorrect letters in language names like "Русский")
- upgrade to DevExpress 22.1 libraries
- Reference list dialog is now resizable
- Grundig dvb\*_config.xml lists are now separated into TV and Radio lists with individual ordering
- ability to load Grundig dvb\*\_config.xml files containing invalid XML characters (e.g. 0x10)
- added experimental support for Loewe servicelist.xml format
- added polarity information to Excel export (and changed column order slightly)
- added missing Romanian translation files to the .zip
- Philips: support for FLASH/*.bin DVB-T/C and preset DVB-S lists (mgr_chan_s_pkg.db)
- Toshiba: lists with chmgt_type001\\chmgt.bin can now be opened without zipping them
- Toshiba: selecting the hotelopt_type001.bin will now also load the list (if the type is supported)
- Alden: added support for "Alden" Android SmartTV channel list format (dvr_rtk_tv.db)
- added write support for dtv_cmdb_2.bin
- File / Information no longer shows duplicate program number warnings for negative numbers (-2 is an allowed dupe for dtv_cmdb_2)
- fixed Sony unit test (Sky option channels are now counted as TV and not data)
".BIN" and ".BIN" to lowercase ".bin".
- Philips: Removing a channel from a list is no longer possible (because it is not supported by the TV's import).
When saving a file, all unsorted channels will be placed at the end of the list.
- support for Philips Repair\mgr_chan_s_fta.db lists is now read-only. Files can be used as a reference list,
but modifying them won't be possible.
- user interface can now be toggled between
- **split view**: classic ChanSort UI with new/ordered and old/full list side-by-side
- **single-table**: simplified and more intuitive UI, but not quite as powerful
When you choose to "Modify current list", the single-table view is used by default,
otherwise the split view. But you can always toggle between them.

the old theme was "Office 2016 Blue".
- improved many keyboard shortcuts (open the drop-down menus to see the shortcuts)
- improved some icons to work better with dark themes
- improved reference list channel matching: if multiple channels match the same name, then the candidates are narrowed
down by service type (TV/radio/data - if known), case sensitivity (upper/lowercase), encryption (unencrypted first)
- added round-trip unit test for all loaders to check reordering channels and favorites, saving and reloading
- internal code clean-up regarding different favorite list modes (none vs. flags vs. ordered per source vs. mixed source)
- Toshiba settingsDB.db: support for lists without analog tuner data (missing TADTunerDataTable)
- Grunding: failed to load lists where the <Digital> element did not contain a <channels> child element
- W.I.P: reworking the reference list system so that a simple list of channels can be applied to the main channel numbers or a particular favorite list.
(The "Automatically reorder all lists" options currently does not work)
- Philips ChannelMap_100 and later: "Channel" XML elements inside the DVB*.xml files are now reordered by program nr.
- Philips ChannelMap_105 and 110: fixed saving favorite lists (keeping FavoriteNumber="0" in DVB*.xml and only
setting the numbers in Favorites.xml)
- m3u: keep original end-of-line characters (CRLF or LF)
- m3u: detect whether channel names are prefixed with a program number or not, and save the file in the same way.
- Philips ChannelMap_45: fixed handling of favorite lists (allow up to 8 lists, empty ones get removed automatically)
- Philips ChannelMap_45: no longer prompting to reorder channels sequentially (to close gaps).
(This feature caused DVB-C/T list to only contain odd numbers and DVB-S to contain only even numbers, when both exist)
- Philips ChannelMap_45: added display for service type (TV/radio), encryption, sat frequency polarity
- Philips ChannelMap_45: fixed display of DVB-C/T frequency
- Philips Repair\chanLst.bin (1.x): fixed sat frequency display for transponders with vertical polarity
- fixed handling of reference lists (matching sat/cable/antenna, digital/analog, tv/radio/data criteria), especially for m3u lists which don't contain ONID-TSID-SID to identify channels
- Philips: fixed display of symbol rate and frequency (off by factor 1000 depending of list and DVB source)
- Philips: fixed special characters in channel names (e.g. german umlauts)
- Philips: "ServiceType" now only shows "TV" or "Radio". There is no information about HD/SD in the file.
- added Hungarian translation (credits to Istvan Krisko)
- Sony XML: fixed display of wrong DVB-C cable channel/transponder number
- LG webOS 5: unfortunately no news yet, but the insight that some "CX" models run on webOS 3.6 and others on 5.1, using
different file formats.
currently supports:
- read and write of satellite channels (incl. sorted favorites and "locked" flag)
- read-only of digital cable/antenna files (still missing transponder information)
