(beta) 7.0.210 June 3, 12:31 AM
- (major) Wimpy can now be hidden on the page until needed. Good for lightbox implementations.
- (major) Re-tooled media engine to lean even more heavily on HTML 5.
- (major) Renamed playlister.php to wimpy.php.
- (major) Renamed files so they all begin with 'wimpy". Now all wimpy files are clustered together... and ... makes the wimpy folder a little cleaner, easier to update just the "important" wimpy files, better when using wimpy as media folder, easier to distinguish "required" wimpy files from "not so important" examples and miscellaneous stuff.
- Fixed icon loading in ie11, ie9.
- Fixed loop state triple toggle.
- Added option: responsive to indicate that the player size can change automatically.
- Added setAnimate player API method.
- Added new wimpyPlayer listener "resize"
- Added new function "setAnimate" to allow player to resize via animation.
- Re-tooled player resizing for smoother resizing.
- Skin Machine : Fixed timeline color issues.

(beta) 7.0.158 May 25, 5:01 AM
- Fixed reverting to wimpy installation folder after clearing playlist when using playlist panel > media browser > other location.

(beta) 7.0.153 May 22, 9:33 PM
- Customizer: Fixed cover art URL parsing

(alpha) 7.0.152 May 22, 5:24 AM
- Added Wimpy Player API methods: stop and repaint.
- Added "allowFlash" player option. Now available on a player-by-player basis.
- Fixed cover art logic
- Fixed cover art visibility when switching between skins that use it and those that don't.
- Fixed loop issues.
- Fixed wimpyButton.stop, now actually stops the wimpy button!
- Re-tooled (major) infoScroller.
- Re-tooled (major) MediaController to allow the player to work properly when sitting inside a hidden element.
- Re-tooled (major) how wimpy deals with "responsive" CSS.
- Fine-tuned (major) flash validation logic.
- Re-visited "done" checks.
- Added more tests to the Test Suite.
- Normalized test suite "wimpy.js" location.
- Cleaned up screen playpause logic.
- Additional major and minor tweaks.

(alpha) 7.0.135 May 17, 8:47 AM
- Created test suite (major).
- Re-tooled playlister.php (major) for better non-english character support.
- Re-tooled player.onReady (major) and wimpy.onReady. Now more robust -- bursting with flavor.
- Re-tooled fullscreen logic (major). Enabling default controls when in fullscreen. Wasn't resizing media element properly. Set the flash fullscreen controls so the "enter/exit" fullscreen toggle icon starts up in the "exit" state.
- Re-tooled info scroller control. Smoother animation. Changed default info speed to 12. Conceptually, the speed is now 'pixels per second".
- Re-tooled fake-eq. Smoother animation. Minor visual tweaks (when off, was dipping below origin, and size was clunky on bigger eq's).
- Added ability to load RSS podcasts (major).
- Added ability to load OPML podcast lists.
- Added more example media files to download package.
- Added test suite to download package.
- Added additional fields for startupText (as JSON for artist, album and title), but can still remain a simple string, such as "Click To Play".
- Correct scrubber animation issues (no animation between tracks).
- Fixed data-media = single JSON object handling '{"file":"foo.mp3", "title":"foo"}' for playlists and media items. Now parses correctly.
- Fixed up the examples in the download zip.
- Playlist is no longer sorted by default. It's counter-intuitive to set sorting to "none" rather than set sorting if desired.
- Playlist scrollbar handle resizes based on size of content in playlist window.
- Fix scrubber mouse pointer positioning.
- Improved coverart fallback logic. Now showing cover art after clicking the "stop" button.
- Lowered main runtime clock to 500ms intervals (lessens load on CPU).

(alpha) 7.0.114 May 9, 7:03 AM
- IMPORTANT: For folks using XML playlists, If your XML includes <kind> tags, you'll need to re-build the playlists so that the <kind> tag has the file extension rather than "list" or "media". Example: <kind>mp3</kind> or <kind>xml</kind>.
- consolidated configurations and moved configs and startup process into new class (WimpyBase)
- re-worked and optimized startup routine
- non-blocking startup (rest of page doesn't wait for wimpy to finish before proceeding to load)
- re-worked how playlist "kind" is handled. No longer using "list" and "media" rather now using extension-based kind to provide more robust characterization of the kinds of files that are loading into the player.
- added backward comparability for older wimpy playlists tags (filetype -> kind, and visual->image automatic conversion).
- re-worked playlist manager to discern kinds of files and kinds of playlist much better.
- Fixed some issues with SWF fallback player.
- glyphs for icons can now be configured on a player-by-player basis rather than globally.
- re-worked html5only handling.
- added new options:
- numberTracks
- glyphs
- allowFlash
- corrected issues related to rewind
- corrected issues related to end of track
- made the "stop" button rewind and reset the player, rather than just pause the player. (stop use to be identical to pause, and was kind of useless aside from the icon, which can be changed in skin machine anyway)
- cleaned up and justified jbeeb and wimpy configurations
- created special class (ReadyBoss) to handle onReady functions and integrated it across many classes. Much more robust and normalized onReady features.
- integrated winpy button into wimpy.js (too much identical stuff to warrant separate files. WButton is just a relatively small class anyway, no need for all that doubling up with jbeeb stuff.
- re-tooled and finalized wimpy Button.
- tuned list
- list touch scroll
- added mouse wheel connectors to list
- fixed animation issues after pointer release
- fixed issues related to disabling the list (items were still click-able!)
- opened localhost
- re-worked cover art fit, added 3rd option: fit, stretch, actual size.
- removed "coverArtMode"
- corrected fallback skin logic.
- re-worked bootstraps
- fixed player "inline" option so other HTML actually flows around player.
- created nice set of wimpyButton css files.
