Beta Testing Guide
From CCCP
If you want to be a beta tester, grab builds from http://www.cccp-project.net/beta/ and poke them. Note that some builds are really really broken, or include huge painful changes just for the fun of it, so don't let it near your system unless you know how to clean up the mess. Idle in IRC to hear about maybe 50% of new builds uploaded there.

Known Issues
- None at this time. Except Win7 might still be w0nky in some aspects. Next release will attempt to alleviate Win7 problems.
Changelog
2009-12-07: MPC-HC r1400. Fixes delay in loading on Win7.
2009-12-06: MPC-HC r1378. Installer updated to follow MPC-HC D3D9X detection changes, version 42 (Aug 2009) of DXSDK is incompatible with older versions so you must have latest DX binaries installed. Will eventually add the DX webupdate installer when it detects you do not have proper versions of binaries installed, for helpless monkeys who can't do this themselves. This will add slight bloat to pack but decrease number of "OMIGOSH I DON'T HAVE DX WHAT DO I DO?" questions/complaints. Removed Haali Shell Extensions and Thumbnails from installer. Updated to Inno Setup 5.3.x Unicode. Few changes were required, should be seamless change but it is a major one in many respects. B: Forgot to remove some Haali Shell/Thumbnails stuff from Settings app. Set Haali Renderer to use "auto" detection for color coefficients (Note Haali Renderer isn't used in any default CCCP settings).
2009-12-03: FFDShow r3138. Haali 1.9.355.21 (mkx.n.2). Still need to remove mmfinfo.dll and Haali related thumbnail/shell stuff which will no longer be supported by Haali's splitter. This is a beta release of Haali's splitter. Haven't recompiiled MPC-HC yet. Shooting for an X-mas official release, much work and testing needs to be done. And feedback, shouting at a hoser is preferable.
2009-09-19: Doh, though Pre-buffering was turned on within VSFilter, forgot to change the option in the Settings app. Fixed now.
2009-09-18: FFDShow r3080, MPC-HC r1281. Fix for 6ch Vorbis playback. Pre-buffer subpictures option is now on by default in VSFilter (as it is in MPC-HC). It no longer disables subtitle animation, as it did in the past. Slower machines may perform even worse when attempting to buffer the animations (slower than not buffering that is). Otherwise speed should be improved on everything else, since complex subtitle animations (see softsub karaoke) are typically not used that much. Should be tested to assure prebuffering does not negatively affect scene timing/typesetting, and also possibly segment linking with subtitle tracks (subs right at the end and beginning of a segment affected?).
