Fixed: The GUI for the Copy command was behaving incorrectly when channels were selected by number instead of name.
Fixed: When the processing caused delay (e.g. via Delay command), the remaining audio was not output when the input signal became silence (e.g. pausing a music player), but only when the silence ended.
Fixed: The checks for missing registry values in Configuration Editor/Configurator should now be sufficient to reanimate E-APO after an OS upgrade. Also the Configurator did not launch when accepting the question in the Configuration Editor with UAC enabled.
Added: Configuration Editor, which allows to edit configurations in a graphical user interface. Contains GUIs for most commands supported by E-APO, but as lines can also be edited directly, all commands can be used.
Added: Command "GraphicEQ", which can act as a regular, fixed-band graphic equalizer (via the GUI) but also supports variable bands so that any desired frequency response can be specified. Internally, it is implemented via convolution with a generated IR.
Added: Command "Convolution", which allows to convolve the signal with a user-provided impulse response to achieve e.g. equalization or reverberation effects.
Improved: Configurator performs checks for registry values that are needed for the operation of E-APO, which may be changed by driver installations, fixing the values if necessary.
Improved: Configurator shows which is the default device as a hint to the user.
Added: New troubleshooting options have been added to the Configurator that can be tried in case of problems.
Improved: E-APO is now normally always installed as LFX/GFX, also in Windows 8.1 and later, to avoid problems with some applications bypassing SFX/MFX APOs (e.g. Skype).
Fixed: If the input channel count was higher than the output channel count and there was no child APO, Equalizer APO could crash during initialization.
Fixed: If a file in the config path was only renamed (not modified), the configuration was not reloaded.
Added: Filter type "IIR", which allows to specify a user-defined IIR filter of arbitrary order with custom coefficients.
Improved: For playback devices, the APO is now installed both as GFX (post-mix) and LFX (pre-mix) APO. Normally the filtering happens in GFX, but the command "Stage" allows to select LFX to apply effects based on the number of input channels.
Added: Expression language. The commands "If", "ElseIf", "Else", "EndIf", "Eval" and inline expressions allow to change the filter behaviour based on runtime conditions.
Added: Command "Copy", which copies audio data between channels.
Added: Command "Delay", which delays the audio on the currently selected channels.
Improved: Configuration files are now locked exclusively for writing while reading them.
Improved: There is now a transition (10 ms) from old to new configuration after loading.
Improved: Substantial internal restructuring to improve extensibility and maintainability. Filtering commands now work exactly in the order they were specified.
Fixed: When the microphone input was in stereo but the application requested a mono stream, the audio was heavily distorted.
Fixed: The sine sweep generated by the Benchmark application had floating-point precision issues leading to severe artifacts when certain filters were applied.
