- Hotkey buttons are now highlighted with yellow color when pressed. Button will stay highlighted for the whole scheduled duration of a hotkey event or until it is removed with other hotkey event.
- An option to Color the currently playing event row was added to Preferences -> Options -> List.
- Added option to Show selection duration in footer in Preferences -> Options -> General. It can be used in the same way as Tools -> Calculate Selection Duration, but the calculation will be displayed in the window footer immediately.
- Added column for Played Duration, which shows actual played duration of the event after it’s played.
- Active hour in Commercial Counter is now highlighted with the darker shade of originally present color, depending on the unused time status (green, orange, red).
- MXF files with 9 audio streams can be played (files with 9 audio streams can be processed in LML, but Player has limitation of 8 audio streams and will play 8).
- Added option to show a certain number of played events above the currently playing one when Current event on top option is enabled. The number of events can be set in Preferences -> Options -> List. Upper limit is 10 events.
- Output streaming VBV buffer option was added in Configure and is now configurable. Default value is 0.5, but it can be set up to 10. Values over 4 are not recommended, as 4 is already considered a very large buffer by Nvidia.
- Option for configurable timing calculation pause (in seconds) before switch was added to oachannel file. Tag is <PauseTimingCalculationBeforeSwitchS> and can be set to a value between 3 and 12 seconds. This feature briefly pauses timing calculations when switching between two events to avoid issued with lengthy playlists.

- Improved audio processing with Medialooks.
