+= Generation 2 =
+
+== G2V10.1 - 02.04.2008 19:32:16 [Majky] ==
+  * this is a bug-fix release
+  * fixed a bug in hash calculation for files 4GB+, it's recommended to delete the cache database (cache\movies.omc)
+  * temporarily removed sorting from content view, caused problems, will be fixed later
+
+== G2V10 - 17.02.2008 17:03:34 [Majky] ==
+  * added persistent caching mechanism for video info
+      * should significantly improve repeated loading of video files
+      * also stores IMDb IDs
+      * cache is stored in the CACHE subdirectory
+  * added subtitle file language detection when manually adding subtitle files
+      * detection results are not 100%, detection takes 1-2 seconds :(
+      * n-gram files are stored in LOCALE subdirectory, only a few are stored there for now, filename must match language ISO code
+      * must be enabled in the "Preferences" tab, switched off by default
+  * added sorting to 'Download' view
+  * added .INI option to save window position
+  * added simple instructions for download/upload to right-click menu
+      * also see [wiki:OscarInstructions Instructions]
+  * fixed a bug loading certain MicroDVD subtitle files in "Show"
+  * updated imdb.ini
+
+== G2V9  - 18.10.2007 20:55:12 [Majky] ==
+  * added update of translations from remote OSDb server
+  * translation updates are available after clicking the language combobox in the right upper corner of application and selecting '...' from the list
+  * UTF-8 isn't natively supported by the application (and adding it would require a major overhaul) so I'm afraid 'chinese' and similar won't work
+  * don't try to update a translation that's currently selected in UI!
+----
+== G2V8  - 10.07.2007 16:25:27 [Majky] ==
+  * improved xml-rpc module, fixed a few memory leaks too
+  * improved proxy support in XML-RPC, basic/digest/NTLM worked fine when testing, comments welcome
+  * debugging messages are enabled in this release to help in identifying proxy support problems
+  * IMDb class still uses InternetOpenURL() Win32 API function to connect to IMDb, this might be changed later if requested (proxy support)
+----
+== G2V7  - 05.06.2007 18:47:37 [Majky] ==
+  * added 'Search by IMDb ID' for movie (uses HTTP, not much error/exception handling yet)
+  * search limit raised to 50
+----
+== G2V6  - 23.04.2007 15:19:57 [Majky] ==
+  * added usage of CheckSubHash() xml-rpc API function in 'Upload'
+  * added button to unselect all languages in 'Preferences'
+  * added more video file types (divx, mkv, ogm, mpg)
+  * available command-line options: /search, /upload, @, /ilang, /server
+      /ilang:sk  - start GUI in slovak language
+      /server:1  - set remote OSDb server to first one in the list in 'Preferences'
+        e.g. "oscar.exe /search movie1.avi /upload movie2.avi @movies.omh"
+        will add movie1.avi to 'Download' view, movie2.avi to 'Upload' view and also import video list movies.omh into 'Upload' view
+
+        "/upload" acts like a switch, all options appearing after it on the command line will be added to 'Upload' view
+  * IMDb class: added 'Rating' and logging of actions
+  * re-designed IMDb class, made some improvements, changes
+----
+== G2V5  - 03.04.2007 16:18:00 [Majky] ==
+  * limit when searching for subtitles on OSDb server, only 15 video files at once
+  * save log to file
+  * 'Add IMDb IDs where possible' function when updating (calls function CheckMovieHash() on OSDb server), no multi-threading yet
+  * fixed some nasty mix-ups in toolbar buttons, all should be ok now
+  * checked multi-language support and fixed all the problems I found
+  * fixing bugs as I encounter them

+  * added buttons to subtitle file preview, now under 'Show' in popup menu
+----
+== G2V3  - 23.03.2007 17:19:15 [Majky] ==
+  * I'm running extremely low on time these days so I've decided to release a 'feedback collection' version just to see what users think about it. This isn't finished by far, there are known issues/limitations that must be addressed but I still believe it's fairly usable.
+  * added 'hints.txt' to give first-time users a few hints on how to use this
+  * the 'Add subtitle file' is now working, just remember to select a video file first
