What's new in 3.3.5.000
Hi Everyone, There were a an issue with build 3.3.4, where IcarosConfig were crashing on startup on Windows 8.1 and below. This build should fix that, and also contain a couple more fixes I got in yesterday (see changelog). I'll keep the info from the 3.3.4 release post below here. It's been a while! I'm so sorry I haven't been more been more around this past year. There has been a severe lack of releases and of support, and I apologize for that. Last year I was put in charge of a large part of a project, and all the spare time I usually spend on Icaros, was put into this project. I should hopefully be done soon with most of the work on this other project and I definitely intend to get back to Icaros as soon as possible. In the meantime, I've decided to open up Icaros to a few developers that I know and trust, and they will be given full access to the source and the rights to post new releases here. I will still fully manage the project, and work on it myself as well, however this should hopefully provide more frequent releases to you all. And as always, Thank you all so incredibly much for donating, translating, writing feedback, providing bug reports, and contributing to make Icaros better with every release. ❤️ And for full transparency here is the total donation amount in 2025: $479 Thank you all so much! ❤️ (Also don't worry, if you've posted an issue or discussion on here, I will get back to you at some point) I hope you all enjoy the new albeit small release this time! Icaros v.3.3.5 Final - Added more MKV tags and improved handling of Title, Artist and Part Number t...
