[Sammelthread]foobar2000 v2.26 preview 2026-02-04 wurde veröffentlicht
Enabled WavPack asm optimizations on Windows for slight decoding speedup.
Windows: fixed bugs related to copy-paste of file-relative locations in portable installs.
Fixed MP4 tag writer corrupting specific kinds of fragmented/streaming MP4 files. Some of these are currently untaggable (fails cleanly). This will be properly fixed soon.
2025-12-17:
Mac: Because of erratic behavior of tableview controls on latest macOS, new macOS 26 appearance has been DISABLED. This will be looked into again later.
File Operations: Fixed error with renaming files on redirected portable music folders & macOS volumes.
Fixed various regressions with network shares in Media Library preferences page.
Made new "Play On" accessible in Internet Radio panel context menus.
Updated Opus decoder to v1.6.
2025-12-12:

Made M3U playlists referencing multi subsong files show all subsongs, restoring behavior of past foobar2000 versions.
Made entering blank incoming item sort pattern preserve original track order handed by app interacting with foobar2000, restoring behavior of old foobar2000 versions.

Made entering blank incoming item sort pattern preserve original track order handed by app interacting with foobar2000, restoring behavior of old foobar2000 versions.
2025-11-21:
Added advanced preferences toggle to turn off all subsong support.
- Use carefully, might have unwanted side effects or work partially.
2025-11-18:
Windows: Fixed crashing when a picture cannot be decoded for whatever reason.
Windows: Added Gdiplus fallback when Windows Imaging can't decode some image, so systems without Windows Imaging codecs can again show album art.
