Big update: Non-Latin character support, "Play NEXT" & "RANDOM", now in PC beta! (Build 1450)

Hello everyone!

We're really excited to announce that a large update that's been a long time coming and has now hit beta. In addition to bug fixes, we finally finished re-factoring our font engine to handle multiple non-Latin character sets simultaneously.

It's a rather large backend upgrade, so definitely try it out, throw as many foreign character song and artist tags at it as you please, and let us know how it works out! We expect we might have missed some character sets so we're looking forward to hearing from you about how the system performs in a live environment.

Also, two oft-requested features for playback have been added: "Play next song" (in the current playlist), as well as "Play random song".

We hope this all makes for an improved Symphony experience for everyone. As always, ping us in the discussion boards with any issues on these or other features!

TO TRY THE BETA: just select the beta branch [beta_loggin_f] from the "betas" in your Steam client under the Symphony properties.

Cheers,

Francois

Build 1170 (PC): Fixes for start-up issues

Thanks to your reports, we think we finally nailed the startup issue affecting some systems with Raptr and XFire overlays. This definitely fixes it on our test systems, let us know! This build also fixes a couple of other reported issues.

On the horizon: we've got some long-requested features we've been working on integrating for a while now, we should have some updates for the game this summer, stay tuned!
