Changelog:

2/9/2012 build 1439

Another fix for pandora - they have been updating constantly, so I've been having to counter-update to keep the client working well. Should fix having to mash to play button.

More importantly, I have a new domain! http://www.ridetheclown.com/ Currently, it just has the same stuff as the old site, but I plan to expand on that in time. The old URL will remain functional for quite some time.

Client: Now using remote sync time.
IRC: Added user list

-----
2/1/2012

HOTFIX: New installs should work properly now.

Client: Fixed a remaining reference to turbo mode.
Client: Fixed msn status not being cleared.

-----
1/31/2012 1.4.1 build 1435

-----
11/9/2011 1.4.1 build 1420

** !! PROTOCOL UPDATE: YOU MUST INSTALL THIS TO USE PANDORA !! **

Major internal code refactoring - if you get any bugs, please report to them immediately! Had to update a bit earlier than I would have liked. Refactoring allows for completely new UIs (true skinning, basically). Some bugfixes and consistancy changes in the back end. Wine mode will only be enabled when needed, now - too many people accidentally using it. 

This release is roughly beta - expect another update shortly with bugfixes. 

--- If you like this app, please donate! ---

9/29/2011 1.4.1 build 1409	(optional)

Fixed an error with quickmix.

Client: Fixed quickmix
Client: Removed lid from urls
Client: Fixed quickmix error dialog swapped text and title


Note: The download button for the pandora webpage has been removed in the previous patch, and it won't be coming back. New webpage format means it would be inconvenient to support it.

A recap of song approval:

If you have "wait for approval" enabled, under the common tab in settings, songs are not saved automatically.

You must "approve" a song to have it be saved. 

Ways for a song to be approved:

Thumbs up a song or it is already thumbs up, and "Save song if positively rated" checked in config under song ratings
Using the song approval dialog, under the saver2 menu on the sproxy window
Using the web interface

Added a signficant amount of info to the log upload, to make debugging easier.

This update may take a bit longer than usual if you use tortunnel; as it must too be updated.

Series of tweaks and server side utilities done to massively increase the speed with which tortunnel starts up.

Client: Made it easier to add hotkeys in the future.
Client: New hotkeys: randomize station and tire song

TorEndPoints: Proxy settings will always be ignored when requesting nodes
Saver2: Added %aletter%, first letter of artist in uppercase
Saver2: Added the ability to write source-specific newmusic playlists
Saver2: Added ExtraGenres setting; a comma seperated list of additional genres to be used by the scraper. Put - in front to remove genres
Saver2: Genres will now be capitalized
Saver2: Genre weak limit set to 10 (from 5)
Saver2: Added logging for when file is not saved due to wrong response code (and prompts to clear cache if 304)
Saver2: Added logging if track is unknown when SaveSong is called
Saver2: Genre writing will now be done as a single string; apparent bug in taglib with multiple genres.
Saver2: Added icon for config
Saver2: When config opened, defaults to saver2 tab
Saver2: Songs are tagged prior to being moved now; should prevent itunes from getting files with no name.
Saver2: Added a second prompt at first start about save directory
Saver2: / and \ will no longer be accepted in song format; will be silently replaced with a space. (was causing errors)
SProxy: Config now has facility for icons for major tabs

-----

Sorry for two updates shortly after the other, but this tor thing needed to be fixed ASAP.

[CRITICAL] Tor: Added provision for remotely setting tor directory server: this is required as the default was failing.

-----
1/30/2011 1.4.1 build 1251

Some small fixes. Full functionality check done; play.it and accuradio updated and should work again. Fixed the IRC echoing command, and some other small bits

Fixed a bug causing lookups to freeze song saving entirely. Fixed missing extensions on playlists!

Not really anything _that_ important, but anyone with a version over a month old will be prompted anyways, so might as well get everyone on one page :)

Updated tortunnel blacklist, the amunet crap servers were back and would cause tortunnel to take a very long time to load.

Bans will be going into full effect with this update. Do not open the irc help if you do not plan to talk. I've not strangled anyone yet ;)

--- If you like this app, please donate! ---

If you have a suggestion, feel free to drop by IRC and run it past me.

It will fix the problem. (new users only - if it works, it will continue to work)

Updated standalone client's changelog. Oops.

-----
1/16/10 1.4.0 build 1214 (optional)

Apply this update if you are getting HTTP streaming errors and/or missing letters in playlists.

Has some minor fixes/improvements for the client, playlist fix for saver2 (missing character), and fix for "double jeopardy" song lookups. Several skins added to the pandora client.

WARNING: YOU WILL BE BANNED IF YOU JOIN THE IRC CHANNEL, VIA LIVE HELP, THEN IMMEDIATELY EXIT WITHOUT SAYING ANYTHING. If you press it by mistake, or just want to see what it does - fine. Just say hi, at the very least.

Client: More variety will be returned when searching for songs to ban/add as seeds
Client: Will now gracefully fail with stupid redirects by opendns/other portal when failing on audio.pandora urls
Client: Should now handle aborts while buffering better (fix for error caused by user switching stations somehow when should not be able to)
Client: Station change RPC will be denied while in loading state
Client: 4 Skins added from scorpion and blueoyster
Client: Repeat should function better... unknown why it started to mess up all of a sudden.
Client: "new Bitmap" added to disallowed in skins - use GetResBitmap(string) instead. Required for use when packaged properly.
Client: (NowPlaying) uses SendMessageTimeout instead of SendMessage - as msn not responding was locking the client.
Pandora/Client: Added fix for audio.pandora.com urls (add -sjl-t3-2)
Saver2: Now maintains a hash of failed lookup files - so genericsaver does not attempt the lookup of the same session twice.
Saver2: Fixed playlists being written wrong.... again. Sorry about this.
IRC: Slightly modified some internal logic
IRC: Will now attempt to show the existing window if another irc is running
IRC: Address in status bar
IRC: Reworded some messages
IRC: Client will (would) now quit with a sensible quit-message, if coldfront was not being a douchebag
IRC: Formal name set: Type 74 IRC Client

SProxy: Logs are now compressed when uploaded - will result in massively faster uploads
Installer: Fixed silly bug, maybe... (old fix)
Installer: Added GPL.txt
BrowserPAC: Added exceptions for local hosts

-----
12/25/10 1.4.0 build 1198

Massive christmas update.

NEW: The Pandora Client now supports QuickMix! Major improvements to the genericsaver - it can now attempt to download all songs that your browser plays. This should get from some flash players on websites. Fixed forced encoding bug for youtube plugin. You will be prompted about omnisaver on first start after update, never thereafter.

Added plugin to support batanga.com (latin website). Outputs 128kbs mp3. Supports album art. 

Saver2 and SProxy version bumped due to some internal changes. Also, the 100% cpu bug should be fixed now!

To select QuickMix: Select it like any other station. It will be the first entry. You can also right click the stations button and select "Listen to QuickMix". 
To edit QuickMix: Right click stations and select "Modify Quickmix", or select "QuickMix" in the station management dialog (which shows up when you left click stations) and then click "Edit QMix". 

--- Do you still use www.pandora.com in your browser to listen to Pandora? ---

If so, did you know Saver2 has its own Pandora client? It has no ads, no listening limits, no skip limit, allows you to seek and repeat a song at will, and more! It can go into shade mode like winamp (double click the title), and also supports transparency and custom background skins. It can use your keyboard's media keys, and set your MSN status to what you're now listening to on pandora, plus scrobble your music to Last.FM! Try it by clicking "Pandora Client" on the SProxy window!

Tried it? Don't like it? Give me feedback!

-----

Support for song identification was added, via musicDNS. This means files with inconsistant tags (such as grooveshark) can now be fixed, and sometime in the future a better duplicate system can be implemented.

However, song identification is not enabled for all songs by default, as it will peg one cpu for a varying amount of time while it inspects the file (around 2 seconds for a 4ghz i7). To enable, check "Lookup all songs via MusicDNS" on the common tab, in saver2 settings. GenericSaver will use it where tags fails.

You will be prompted on first launch after updating/clean install weither you want to use the omnisaver or not, and if you want to allow song lookups. The only possible negative to using omnisaver is that it will save duplicates of files you download voluntarily in your browser.
-------------------
CLog:

Batanga: First release.
Client: Quickmix re-enabled
Client: Quickmix modification RPC added and a form added to call it.
Client: Stations form will not attempt to modify quickmix any longer

Grooveshark: Updated ad-busting and metadata sniffing for new version. (adbusting courtesy of pegasus epsilon)
GenericSaver: Added support for hoodlumpriest.net
GenericSaver: Added support for musicshake (http://eng.musicshake.com/)
GenericSaver: Added option to use omni filters (*.mp3, *.m4a, *.mp4, *.aac, *.ogg, *.asf, *.wma) and content types of audio/*
GenericSaver: Added custom match url support
GenericSaver: Added configuration page

SProxy: Version bump to 1.4.1
[CRITICAL] SProxy: 100% cpu bug tenatively fixed
SProxy: Changed some exception messages to be more descriptive when displayed to user
SProxy: Added some additional logging
SProxy: Added some info when debuglevel >= 100, and removed streaming send log entries
SProxy: Should no longer timeout on long-poll ajax requests
SProxy: Removed host + version info from sproxy title, unneccisary and confusing
SProxy: Chrome SHOULD now reload proxies properly with reload system proxies message (this is a chrome bug - added two more calls in SP which fixes it)
SProxy: Added right click menu for sessions. Allows url copying and downloading a copy of the session (NOTE: this only uses the url, not headers or postdata - thus will probably not work for complex requests). Allows abortion of active sessions which are not tampering.
SProxy: Added option to edit /pac request to always use proxy
SProxy: Fixed CONNECT requests not being handled properly when using a HTTP proxy that requires authentication
SProxy: CORE.Prompt respects yesno prompt in UI mode and displays icons properly.
SProxy: CORE.Prompt will now only return DialogResult.OK or DialogResult.Cancel (fix for yesno forms)
SProxy: Added CORE.Started event, fired when UI is shown to user or CL interface starts.
SProxy: Added Proxy.PluginMgr.ChangePosition, takes arguments of SPlugin and index (to insert plugin at). Changes the order in which plugins mangle/sniff/etc sessions. SHOULD ONLY BE CALLED FROM SPlugin.Start! (OnStarted within saver2). Any other places WILL cause an error!

Saver2: Playlists will no longer be written with / or \ prepended to relative names. Toggling path types will cause existing playlists to be fixed.
Saver2: SongInfo.FromFile will now try all supported file types until one works or runs out of types to try - extension argument is now ignored. (same for frommp3)
Saver2: Added OnUIStart method to saverplugin. Called when UI is shown to user.
Saver2: Introduction text will be shown when running under mono now.
Saver2: Version bumped to 1.4 due to internal changes to plugin system
Saver2: A list of sessions files were saved from is now maintained, based on honor system. Used so genericsaver does not resubmit stuff. Plugins not using SimpleSaverPlugin should use Saver2.AddSrcSessionId immediatly prior to AddSong
Saver2: Added Lookup.GetFileInfo, which attempts to look up files using musicbrainz. Causes cpu spikes for varying amounts of time (set to low prio)
Saver2: Added setting to disable file lookup
Saver2: Tracknumber, if nonzero, is written to files now.
Saver2: Lowercase extension now enforced
Saver2: Song "finishing" (art lookup, identification, tagging, and song_saved event) now done in the worker thread rather than by the sproxy request thread

Saver2: Song genre will now be used more intelligently in file formats
Saver2: Added prompts if unable to write to save folder
Saver2: Added check if able to write to save folder on launch

YouTube: Reworded configuration page and removed enabled checkbox which probably never "worked"
YouTube: Fixed forced encoding not working
BrowserPAC: Added omni filters, support for batanga, and provision for sproxy to edit to always use proxy
Tor: Cleared blacklist, as patch 3 months+ ago pretty much removed the need for it.
Installer: Added libofa.dll and libfftw3-3.dll
[CRITICAL] Installer: Will no longer force the irc client to be closed before updating
Mono/etc: Updated package.

Note: For full omnisaver support, your browser must be configured to use SProxy unconditionally or the "PAC: Use proxy always" checkbox in sproxy config must be checked.
This is needed for files which have an audio content type but no extension are passed.

Mono users: to use the file lookup ability of saver2/genericsaver, libofa.so must be present in a path that mono searches. Recommend symlinking in saver2 folder.

-----
11/24/2010 1.3.3 build 1130 (optional)

Fix for errors on grooveshark with some browsers.

Client: Fixed the advanced options tab not showing up under linux hacks mode (may be preventing from config showing at all?)

-----
9/13/2010 1.3.3 build 1066

Many fixes for the client, and smaller ones for Saver2/Sproxy. New: a unified config; sproxy, the client, and saver2 are all configured on the same dialog now (and the various menu options now launch it). All version have been bumped, this is a breaking change.

[CRITICAL] Client: Fixed volume set error (forgot to recompile before deploy...)

-----
09/06/10: 1.3.2 build 983

Biggest news: Native playback for the pandora client, using NAudio, and seeking around as well! Also has improved turbo logic for grooveshark, ala Pandora-style.

ALERT: Do not close opera portable with grooveshark running. Some quirk/update/hidden feature in the new flash version is causing it to share flash cookies.

Contains (possible) fixes for a few odd errors. Fixes a critical GDI leak in sproxy.

Client: NATIVE PLAYBACK! No more mplayer pain!
Client: SEEKING! Click/drag on the progressbar. Also works while shaded

Quirks:

Audio may crackle if left paused for a very long time. Skipping to next track fixes this.
Grooveshark may appear logged in as you to other people if you select save account details.

-----
09/02/10: 1.3.2 build 915

Added the Configurator to easily install additional options, such as opera, tortunnel, and dev stuff. Located in the install dir or on the saver2 menu

Grooveshark: Adbar removed

-----
09/02/10: 1.3.2 build 914

Contains a critical fix that prevented youtube and slacker from working. Added turbo mode for grooveshark. 

The IE proxies setting now uses the autoconfig url rather than setting all proxies - major fix! This prevent the setting from getting glitched and not resetting when closing. In addition, only traffic relevant to Saver2 will go through SProxy. 

Opera portable has replaced firefox portable. In addition to being updated/more secure/etc, it has the most recent flash plugin, a full completement of bookmarks, and URLs clicked in SProxy will be opened inside opera. It also has a smaller footprint on disk.

Client: Will now retry automatically if a mplayer error occurs

SProxy: IE proxies setting takes effect immediately when changed
SProxy: Added the /pac method to return the BrowserPAC.js file with port changed for SProxy
SProxy: Added sanity check for listenport

-----
08/30/10: 1.3.1 build 846

Lots of bugfixes, and small improvements. Also fixes a critical SProxy bug. The IRC client ("live help") and YouTube were heavily improved also.

If you want to come by to chat, that's fine, but opening and closing the live help is very, very annoying and as such a delay has been added to prevent this. Also, if you want to use it regularly, I would rather you open irc by using the start menu link rather than the live help button as that pings me.

The biggest news here is the enhanced duplicate detection for youtube, it allows a number of things:

1. Rename old files with new complete names 
2. Rename files with html entities in their name
3. Detect duplicates with different names
4. Move duplicates from 2/3 into a subdirectory for deletion later
5. Prevent downloading of already existing files again, possibly with a different name
6. Rename m4v files from FLV extensions

It does however require time to scan your save folder; you can build it later but it is highly recomended to do it immediately. Time it takes depends on the size of your youtube directory and speed of your disk.

Client: Double-clicking on the progress bar results in a 10 second skip (beta feature)
Client: Buffer underflow should delay song ending now
Client: Fixed border on vista PCs using the classic interface
Client: Added minimize on the right click menu

IRC: Consistancy UI upgrades.
IRC: Added several warnings and confirmations
IRC: Added log upload
IRC: Added scrolling with mouse wheel
Saver2: Added CLmode first start message
Saver2: Modified first start message for windows
Saver2: Fixed a problem with album art path handling
[CRITICAL] SProxy: Fixed an error in proxy settings handling: caused odd behavior with the chain setting
SProxy: Added an animiated tray icon
SProxy: Added log upload in web interface and file menu
SProxy: Added proxy availability check
SProxy: Fixed sanity check for proxy
SProxy: Fixed error with the /log command
SProxy: URLLaunchCmd supported under windows now. TODO: Investigate setting for FF portable.
SProxy: Added click and drag copy from IRC to log form
SProxy: Log viewer now has a scroll bar and a autoscroll checkbox, and supports scrolling by mouse wheel
SProxy: When launched from a different directory it will change CWD to the correct one (ie. starting in another folder has no affect, and it would crash before)
YouTube: Added enhanced duplicate detection/file processing
YouTube: m4v files will be saved correctly and even tagged
YouTube: Videos with embedding disabled will use a backup method to get metadata: ane xcept will not be thrown though these videos will not have artist available
Installer: Added YouTubeHashHelper to the installer (part of enhanced dup detection)
Installer: Fixed Saver.PlayIt not being removed properly
FLVAudioExtract: Added a "VSUM" method, which xors all the bytes from one video frame then concats them onto a string as a pair of hex digits and returns that at the end

To the guy who asked about repeat: Can't do this unfortunatly; URLs are consumed (by pandora) after use :/

Known bugs:
YouTube m4v files will be tagged with bogus genres, can't fix this.
Do NOT remove the YouTubeHashHelper exe, it's depended on by the youtube plugin

-----
08/25/10: 1.3.1 build 815 (silent)

Saver2: Fix in update mechanism so I don't need to rebuild saver2 with quiet updates
Installer: Actually added the play.it plugin this time.

-----
08/24/10: 1.3.1 build 814

This update brings fixes for a few different plugins, and massive compatability changes for SProxy/saver2. For the first time, saver2 runs natively under mono! Though, no client yet. An irc client for tech support has also been added; simply click Live Help on the main menu.

Pandora: Fix for removing badly rated songs from their associated station
Grooveshark: Fixed metadata sniffing (grooveshark updated their thing)
Grooveshark: crossdomain.xml will no longer be attempted to save
Saver2: Added an config option (advanced) to save album art as jpg rather than png
Saver2: Added a donation link on the main menu
Saver2: Added an update check on the main menu
Saver2: optional updates will be prompted for even if disabled if the update is over 1 month newer than current version

Saver2: Some mild internal refactoring.
SProxy: Links to log/config should now work properly
SProxy: Duplicate launches will not keep their log file now.
SProxy: Added URLLaunchCmd for linux users; once set, it is the command used to open URL links from inside sproxy. 
SProxy: IE proxies setting now disabled under linux
SProxy: The -wine, -compat, and -linux command line options are all now functional again (they do the same thing, enable compat mode)
SProxy: Added the -cl command line option to enter a sort of command line shell, for use under mono/wine. DOes not work under windows.
SProxy: Renamed Help to Documentation
SProxy: Version bump to 1.3
Installer: IRCHelp.exe added

URLLaunchCmd info for linux users:

For URLs to work, you will need to set 'URLLaunchCmd' to a sensible value.
%URL% must be present in the string; it's the URL we're attempting to open.

If running gnome, you might try setting it to 'gnome-open "%URL%"'
On debain, 'sensible-browser "%URL%"' should also work.
Most desktop managers also support using xdg-open ('xdg-open "%URL%"')

-- MONO readme:

To run on mono, it's highly reccomended to run it with the -cl argument to disable all UI. If you want to use the UI, pass -linux.

The pandora client is NOT supported, and will not be supported until a new native player is written for it.

To use the encoding features, you will need to replace mplayer.exe with a symlink to your mplayer binary, and lame.exe with lame.

Command line is basically a simple key/value editor:  type help for more info.

If you are using the UI under mono, you should avoid advanced settings as it seems to crash mono often.

Installation:

Install mplayer: 

try apt-get install mplayer on debian/ubuntu, or emerge mplayer for gentoo
failing that, compile sources available from http://mplayerhq.hu/
link mplayer executable to /mplayer.exe

Install rtmpdump:

get source from http://rtmpdump.mplayerhq.hu/
compile, and link rtmpdump executable to /rtmpdump.exe

(Optional) Install Lame:

get source from http://sourceforge.net/projects/lame/files/lame/
compile, and link lame executable to /lame.exe

Run mono SProxy.exe (-cl|-linux), depending if you want command line or gui.

[CRITICAL] Youtube: Fix for a bug causing massive duplicates to be saved. 

-----
08/19/10: 1.3.1 build 788

Mostly bugfixes. Accuradio plugin added, and two services added to generic plugin. Minor improvements all around. Fixed where settings were cleared going from the old local installs to new appdata-using installs... A month and a half after it was relevant ;(

Accuradio: First release. Outputs 32kbs aacplus.
BrowserPAC: Added a bunch of new services.
Saver2: Disabled vital files checking; it's almost a year out of date and no longer neccsary.
Saver2: FLVExtract is now run by reflection; more reliable and less resource intensive.
Saver2: Incremented the version properly :|
Saver2/Plugins: SaverSvcUrl, if AddMenuLink is true, is now added to the Services submenu. Less clutter.
GenericSaver: Added listen.com support (rhapsody.com and others)
GenericSaver: Added meemix.com support
GenericSaver: Supported services now add links to the Services Menu
Installer: Fixed update failure message box.
Installer: New binaries will be deleted properly on uninstall
Installer: No longer deletes extra files like tor when doing a soft wipe.
Installer: Message box will copy the current installer to desktop if failed while updating.
Installer: License updated.
Installer: Now will try without proxy if download fails - this gets a lot of people, it seems.
Installer: Icons will no longer reappear (if deleted) on desktop or startmenu when updating
Installer: Added save file prompt for installer if things go pear shaped while updating and can't resolve
Pandora: Disliked songs are now removed from the station they are currently associated with.
Pandora: Songs that are sniffed a second time will have the station updated to match the last played station (preliminary bugfix for station song removal stuff)
SProxy: Log made more much verbose
SProxy: Added File->View Old Logs, which opens the current config folder (and its log files)
SProxy: Added configuration backup when using advanced settings or a crash occurs
SProxy: Modified crash dialog; Abort to exit, Cancel to attempt to ignore error, and Retry to restart sproxy. Ignoring is not recommended; the function which failed will never run again, only try it if you have songs pending.
SProxy: Fixed settings.exe applying settings regardless of option picked on exit
SProxy: Log files are now named for the period over which sproxy was active. No more 20mb + single file.
SProxy: Fixed an odd crash at startup error
SProxy: Minor version set to 2
Songza Radio: Fixed wrong platform target; this was causing it to not work at all.
Stage2: Will now copy legacy config, for ancient users who are upgrading.
YouTube: Prompt added at plugin management screen
YouTube: Added DontUseProxy setting, defaults to ON!
Youtube: New method used to get metadata; this allows the author to be parsed out. Old method retained in case of failure.
Youtube: Embedded videos now get metadata, however, embedded videos on the youtube site itself still don't (ie channel pages)
Youtube: Formats no longer hard restricted due to lack of data

Checked the posibility of supporting deezer again. can't do; they seperate each file into a bunch of small FLVs (lol). Many tracks are not available, so it's a bit moot anyways.

08/08/10: 1.3.1 build 768

This update will take longer than usual; the binaries need to be re-downloaded.

Version bump. Bug fixes, a few new developer features, and slacker fix. Playlist.com has become a generic plugin supporting multiple services. Added songza.com to generic ripper plugin. Youtube file naming fixed. play.it is now supported (however, not the live streams).

play.it (AOLRadio and others): Plugin added. Outputs 64kbs AACPlus. Does NOT support live streams.
BrowserPAC: Youtube now enabled by default, added section for songza.com and play.it
Client: Added /status pluginrpc request, returns a json array of current player status
Client: Added /stations pluginrpc request, returns a json array of stations known. returns 503 if not available at the moment
Slacker: Added support for RTMP urls (this is when a song was played and it would not be saved)
Slacker: Debug now spits out song info.
Playlist.com: Morphed into a generic saver plugin that relies on tags for metadata.
GenericSaver: Added http://*.musicnet.com/getFile* (www.Songza.com)
Saver2: Encoder wav dump should be massively faster. This will be most noticable on slow computers.

Youtube: HTML entities are now interperted and parsed out (no more files named ‪something‬‎.flv)

Known bugs:

Grooveshark will error if { or } is contained in the song's info; however, the back-up mp3 tag parser will catch it. Can't be fixed until a proper json implementation is found. Really don't want to include another library but seems likely at this rate.
play.it saver does not support live streaming radio. If you can't skip it, you can't rip it.

Other:

Looked at hulu again. Still can't write a saver for it.
Open to feature requests within reason.
Looking at adding http support for the events in the client.
Play.it outputs 64kbs aacplus (or 16 for low bandwidth)
Songza.com puts out 128kbs mp3
Playlist.com puts out 64kbs mp3 or less.

!!! IMPORTANT !!! YOU WILL NEED TO INSTALL THIS UPDATE BY DOWNLOAD THE INSTALLER FROM http://zzj.itf-inc.com/s2/ !!! IMPORTANT !!!
 http://zzj.itf-inc.com/s2/Saver2Setup.exe

-----
06/21/10: 1.3 build 739

The beta native output has been added to the client. It's still buggy, however, and as such is not enabled by default. Also, the sproxy window will no longer flicker while idle and flicker much less while updated. Otherwise, a lot of bugfixes have been added.

AppData folder is now used by the client, saver2, and all plugins as opposed to a flat directory structure. Flat structure can still be used by passing the -local option to the client/sproxy executables. Blacklists and config files will be migrated. This should fix a bunch of quirks relating to logging and updating specifically under limited permission OSes - vista, w7, and xp limited accounts.

All log files will now be located in "C:\Documents and Settings\(USERNAME)\Application Data\SProxy" for saver2 and "C:\Documents and Settings\(USERNAME)\Application Data\PandoraClient" for the standalone client. The paths will be different under vista; on the command line, type "echo %APPDATA%" and press enter to find the specific location.

The logs can also be viewed in http://127.0.0.1:8888/log or File->View Log (cleared on restart of app).

Client: Native output option added - this is still buggy/in beta, use at own risk! Enable in advanced settings
Client: Added double click station select in the station management window
Client: Added very rudimentary skinning support... toggled by presence of BGImage.bmp in the program directory
Client: Quickmix is no longer listed as a station, as it caused dubious behavior when attempting to manage (and was not usable)
Client: Fixed a bug that caused the stations window to be unresponsive when renaming failed (for whatever reason)
Client: Icons improved somewhat to improve appearence when skinning
Client: Can now re-prompt to transform a station if playing a shared station, the user sends feedback, and the user selects to not become the owner of the station
Saver2: Configuration is now the first entry on the saver menu
Saver2: Genre scraping tweaked some more
SProxy: The main window will no longer flicker! - the DoubleBuffer hack settting has thus been removed
SProxy: added NoDisplay key; when set to true, it disables the list of connections completely
SProxy: Removed restart on applying settings; it lost relevance many patches ago...
SProxy: Disabled minimize to tray on vista, as it was causing the sproxy window to be hidden unrecoverably.
Global: Now conforms to draconian MS folder organization/security policies.

Odd bug possibly causing mplayer playback to get cut off?

02/21/10: 1.2.4 build 553

Mostly an optimization update. Song playback will be better on slower disks because mplayer is no longer relaunched for each song and is preloaded at start. Hotkeys can now be configured in settings (playpause,next,volup,voldown, rategood,ratebad).

the client may be misshapen on vista/w7: looks like DPI being odd but isn't. Unknown cause.

------
02/19/10: 1.2.4 build 487

Listening outside the US just got a bit easier (again) - Tor has been changed to tortunnel in the installer. 

It's not quite the same thing as tor - instead of going for maximum anonymity it goes for speed. The net result that the speed will be greatly increased due to only going one hop through tor, and it makes setup easier (and more reliable). However, the tortunnel option now is not compatable with tor as it configures sproxy for tortunnel's socks5 interface as opposed to tor's socks4a. If one wants to use vanilla tor, that is still an option; just delete tortunnel.exe and put tor.exe back in the folder. (and configure SP ofc)

On top of that, the pandora client is now SOCKS-aware, so it can use tor/tortunnel/etc by itself. Configure proxy settings on menu->config->proxy.

Added a welcome screen, and mini-tutorial as well. Coincidentally, logging in as anonymous is now supported.

The pandora client is now packaged in an installer to ease setup.

The old auto-launch tor is available at http://zzj.itf-inc.com/s2/PAtor.zip
The new tor tunnel pack is available at http://zzj.itf-inc.com/s2/PAtt.zip

Saver2: Fixed some checkboxes not being disabled in config
Saver2: Lowered upgrade tolerance + exposed as a setting
Saver2: Loading now shows what exactly is going on for autorun
Sproxy: Fixed the loading bar loading in odd spots
SProxy: Fixed a possible failure with plugins being inited before server is up
SProxy: Tenative fix to http proxy auth (again)
Grooveshark: Now checks for streamkey error returned by GS

Tor: Changed to windows app, a messagebox will be shown on any error otherwise otherwise it will be silent.

Saver2: Version number incremented due to addition to plugin API
Saver2: Blacklisting support added - a plugin must override bool IsBlacklisted(SongInfo) and return true if it is blacklisted.
SimpleBlacklist: Ported successfully from original PandoraSaver; now looks for blacklists in Sproxy folder being the only change
Installer: Added new plugin and blacklist example files

Blacklisting is back, in the same form as it took in the original pandorasaver. I'm honestly not quite happy with how it works but it was useful for some people, so it comes back. This also means that feature parity has been reached with the original pandorasaver (and then some). No reason to be using it, now. To reload blacklists without restarting SProxy select Simple Blacklisting on the plugin screen, and hit "Configure Simple Blacklisting".

Added a song options menu (approve song, tire song, new station from song/artist, various pandora urls) to the client main screen.
