Only change in RC4 (compared to RC3):
- Better handle VLC position reporting imprecision for all AVI files and for MKV files that have an incorrect or low framerate (VLC tickets #17658 and #17126). There may still be some issues with these files, but far fewer.
Notable bug fixes in RC3 (compared to RC2):
- Updated Russian translation (by Corwin)
- Add "edit playlist" option and "add X as trusted domain" playlist menu options to playlist context menu
- Increase folder timeout thresholds and reduce false-positives of folder timeout
- Use "store and run" as default GuiConfig button unless --no-store switch specified
- Improved shared playlist support (e.g. address bugs which caused files to switch unexpectedly or not advance properly, or erroneously set people as not ready when advancing)
- Added support for Support for DESTDIR and PREFIX in Makefile (#114 by Hummer12007, fixing #110 by diogocp)
- Fixed issues with VLC support and added VLC3 support (inc. #108 and PR #109 by Pilotat)

- (mpv) remove remove scaletempo filter command line switch and more selectively disable verbosity (#106 by wiiaboo)
- Prevent import error message from being displayed when GUI is disabled on systems without PySide (#117 by Hummer12007)
- Prevent media player from re-opening same file on double-click from Syncplay UI, which caused rewind on some players
- Fix double join message when entering a room with no file on servers with isolated rooms enabled (#123 reported by Corwin, fixed by Uriziel)
- Improved support for Unicode URLs (issue reported by lyk)
- Move to NSIS3 for improved security (resolves #121 by Armada651)

Syncplay 1.4.0 (RC2)
The new Shared Playlist feature means anyone can add a file to a joint queue, and when you get to the end of one file it will automatically load the next one and rewind.
Fixes in RC2:
- ! Fixed bug where playlist where a client might erroneously change playlist selection when updating playlist if it had previously been updated by a different user in a way that moved the position of the currently playing file in the playlist.
- ! Fixed bug where VLC would not play a newly loaded file
- ! Fixed bug where Syncplay/VLC would sometimes crash if you tried to run with an old version of VLC (reported via Twitter by @coreyp0wner)
- ! Updated syncplay.lua to make it clear that for VLC sometimes the file needs to be placed in the lib64 folder rather than the lib folder (addressing #103 by abhsag24)
*Syncplay 1.4.0 Changelog (+Addition, Change, !Fix):
- + Add shared playlists feature
- * By default auto-play only triggers if everyone is playing the same file
- * Search for media in user-specified media directories rather than directory of currently playing file (e.g. for double click to switch file)
- ! Fix issue with Media Player Classic (not home cinema) being misidentified as mplayer2
- ! Fix issues with MPC-HC and mpv being sent commands/queries while loading a file (could cause MPC-HC to crash or Syncpplay to freeze)
- ! Fix bug loading relative config files in folders with UTF-8 characters
- ! Show menu bar in OS X (#86 by nilsding, addressing an issue from #81)
- ! Fix bug when loading Unicode files in *NIX (#85 by abhsag24, fixing #84 by minus7)
