What's New:
his is an incremental update improving upon 1.4 series features and addressing reported 1.4 series regressions.
- File Operations: Fixed window order bugs with Windows 10 1809 and newer
- Fixed creation of crash reports from stack overflow crashes.
- Fixed some Ogg files being unplayable since version 1.4.
- Changed order of written FLAC metadata blocks to work around bugs in Windows Explorer.
- Misc bug fixes.
- Made Converter never overwrite the source files.
- Fixed Properties autocomplete vs multiline edit box clash.
- Fixed earlier 1.4 series regression with writing of ID3v2 COMMENT fields to TXXX frames instead of COMM.
- Fixed incorrect Converter output with both “don't reset DSP between tracks” and “copy other files” features in use (beta 2).
- Fixed drag&drop glitches on Windows 10 with multiple monitors having different pixel densities.
- Regardless, this is still a bug in Windows 10, not in foobar2000.
- Fixed Default UI preferences groups & columns drag&drop glitches.
- Fixed incorrect formatting of written EXTM3U playlists.
- Fixed incorrect truncation of specific long filenames in File Operations.
- Fixed unnecessary reopening of remote files being played.
- Fixed playback marker in playlists not being correctly retained in some conditions.
- Improved internal IMA ADPCM WAV decoder (fixed rounding errors, fixed incorrect output duration).

- You can work around it by feeding WMA files to foo_input_ffmpeg component.
