3.5 beta 2 (16-Feb-2019)

• criteria changes:
  • added option Strict for criteria which match against some value (i.e. numeric, textual, boolean and these enumerable which can be compared numerically). When criterion is not strict and quality does not have appropriate property then default value is used instead of marking quality as not matching given criterion. All criteria are non-strict now by default (previous behavior - they all were strict and this was not configurable)
  • added condition the lexicographically smallest for textual criteria. It is useful for sorting otherwise equal qualities (e.g. arranging subtitles in alphabetical order)
  • extended Optional criteria state with Applicability group of options (optional criteria became now criteria with Compare applicability). Read details in Criteria applicability topic
  • tuned default criteria to be more reliable and less verbose
  • added Pseudo-table option in criteria test window (available via context menu of list control)
  • added possibility of criteria testing also for Decoding Video Quality and Video Playback Subtitles
• fixed error #403 for Youtube caused by internal change on the site
• updated libcurl and underlying nghhtp2 library to the latest versions (libcurl/7.68.0 Schannel zlib/1.2.11 brotli/1.0.7 nghttp2/1.40.0). libcurl with alternative SSL backend (available on Download page) has also been updated (libcurl/7.68.0 OpenSSL/1.1.1d zlib/1.2.11 brotli/1.0.7 nghttp2/1.40.0)
• fixed inability to perform any Internet requests for some users. By default since 7.67 libcurl uses connection to localhost for internal communication between threads when performing DNS lookup, and such activity might be blocked by firewall. As the results in such case component cannot initiate any Internet request. Switched to old DNS lookup strategy for both internal and alternative libcurl when building 7.68
• [beta 2] added cookie editor. Preferences Network HTTP [Cookies] Storage Modify now opens cookie editor window instead of text editor with cookie storage file. This was primarily done to deal with HTTP 429 error and unauthorized access (topics HTTP 429 error on Youtube and Authenticated access on Youtube)
• [beta 2] added option Video Playback Subtitles Lyrics location pattern. When searching for *.lrc files component now uses this pattern to construct lyrics file path instead of using hard-coded rule designed for Lyrics Show 3 panel. Since it is not bound now to Lyrics Show 3 corresponding criterion has been renamed to Lyrics
