1.0.2 - Major bugfix and enhancement release ( 6/1/2006)

Bugfixes:

- Fixed a bunch of bugs surrounding setting your own LAME switches.

- Fixed a bug where if you didn't save your settings, it would use what was modified for that CD Stack session.

- Changed LAME VBR algorithm slider to not allow going greater than 5. Greater than 5 is not recommended by the LAME people, and 9 seemed to make it not work at all

New:

- Added LAME Presets "--preset insane, fast extreme, extreme, fast standard, standard, fast medium, medium

- Added VBR new and changed VBR to VBR old in the encoding properies.

- Default for new installs is --preset fast standard. Better quality and it will encode about 40% faster than the previous VBR Default.

- Users who upgrade will have their VBR options set to use the faster encoding method.

- Added Confirmation to save preferences when closing the preferences window and not clicking OK.

- Added text labels to the main interface buttons for clarity

- Set default work queue location to /Users/USERNAME/Library/Application Support/CD Stack/Work Queue per Apple's human interface guidelines. The MP3 output still defaults to the same location /Users/USERNAME/CD Stack/MP3

Bugfixes:

- Fixed bug for when the eject CD after ripping option was de-selected, all interface buttons would not re-enable themselves.

- Installer DMG file will no longer automatically decompress, per the installation manual.

New:

- Added a "Stop Ripping" button to the Ripping window to halt ripping and encoder queueing for the currently importing CD.
