  other (but rarely occurring) unpredictable behaviour

• Some other small improvements

v1.3.4.19s-v1.3.4.191 (Service Release 1)

  cdda extraction was freed right after track selection. AdvaLame Suite assumed
  it was still available during cdda extraction. This bug only occurred when
  the new NeroApi track selection was used.
• Fixed critical bug where AdvaLame Suite accessed freed thread memory, causing
  the threads return value most of the time to be non-zero, however, this bug
  hardly occurred because of the previous bug

• Wait form now behaves normally again
• Some other small improvements

v1.3.4.16s-v1.3.4.19s

• Now files will be refused if extended directory selection is enabled and new
  output directory does not exist and cannot be created

  too many (end of) update calls, causing the content of the listview to always
  be visible instead of non-visible during updating

• Reformatted code to Borland standard
• Fixed small issue with songinfo form, now clearing the form will cause the
  songinfo to be removed

  which should cause speed improvements with large sets of selected files

• Fixed serious issue with the cd-audio form, form was referenced before
  existence (could cause stability issues)

  selection)

• Fixed bug where selecting the same outputname as the inputname (file
  selection form) caused the extension dot to be removed
• AdvaLame Suite now only moves files to bottom after cancelling if sorting is
  not enabled
• Some other minor improvements

v1.3.4.0s-v1.3.4.5s

• Seperated cd-audio track selection from normal directory selection, also
  fixes issues when selecting a folder from data cd-roms where previously,
  AdvaLame Suite would always try to find cd-audio tracks

  function, slightly less functionality but far greater compatibility and
  stability

  my own code
• Removed systemimagelist component (nearly 1000 lines) and replaced it with
  only 5 lines of code
