What's New in EasyCD2 v2.1
--------------------------

New Features:

  1)  Full support for the remote cddb server "fuzzy" search.
      This greatly increases the success rate for finding your
      particular pressing of a CD. EasyCD2 displays a new dialog
      when the cddb server returns that a possible match was found.
      The dialog displays the list of possible matches. You select
      the CD you are currently playing from the list and EasyCD2
      retrieves the information for that CD from the cddb server. 

  2)  The "CD Control Panel" now contains a fully integrated volume
      control. No more looking around someplace else when you
      really want to crank it up for your favorite song! In
      addition to the volume control, EasyCD2 has a small volume
      indicator AND if you click on the volume indicator it's a
      "Mute" button! 

  3)  Improved tray icon functions. You can now use the tray icon
      for selecting the next and previous tracks in addition to
      being able to pause the CD. A single-click on the icon is
      Pause, a double-click is Next Track and a triple-click is
      Previous Track. 

  4)  A new exit option. This option allows you to either stop
      the CD player when you exit EasyCD2 or to leave the CD
      playing. 

  5)  Enhanced Introduction Play mode. The Introduction Play
      mode now has unlimited offset and unlimited duration
      settings. 

  6)  The CD control panel has a new improved layout to include
      the volume controls and also has new easier to see buttons. 


Bug Fixes 

  1)  The cddb server error: "Server handshake error #500" has
      been fixed. This was caused by Windows95 user names or
      computer names that had spaces in them, such as
      "Greg H. Leichner" or "My Computer". 

  2)  Various errors connecting to some SMTP servers have been
      fixed. EasyCD2 is now compatible with the vast majority of
      SMTP protocol implementations. 

  3)  The problem when initially connecting to the CD player(s)
      that resulted in the message "Unable to find audio cd on
      any players in system." or the message "CD player has
      already been opened by another application. Exit the other
      application before running EasyCD." has been fixed. 

  4)  The CD Information dialog now behaves better when typing in
      the track titles. The 'Enter' key can now be used to complete
      the current track entry, and it will the automatically go to
      the next track. No more: type, type, type, grab mouse, click,
      back to keyboard, type, type, type.
