Changes in abcAVI Tag Editor 1.8.1.129 :

- Some inaccuracy in the tag comparison table and the description of INFO tags were corrected (information at the abcavi site).
- AVI files with several video streams were displayed incorrectly (DivX files with built-in subtitles, for example). Now abcAVI shows the information on the first stream not the last.
- Bug in abcAVI.dll was fixed - renaming of AVI files in Explorer resulted in long delays when abcAVI Info Tips had been installed.
- Layout of Russian help and manual was fixed - some cirylic characters were replaced by black squares.
- The creation of messages for IMDb was improved to avoid spam filters.
- Query sending was optimized - now abcAVI sends only one message with the cumulative query instead of multiple messages (one per query).
- The algorithm of file analysis in abcAVI.dll was improved. The files with *.avi extension but truly not AVI files are processed much more faster now.
- abcAVI writes only one instance of its signature into JUNK section of AVI file. Earlier versions wrote their signature repeating every 256 byte.
- Defined more exactly 1 video FourCC and 18 audio TwoCC descriptions (thanks to http://www.getid3.org)
