What is new in version 6.0.6:

• Redesigned interface with razor-sharp graphics, crisp text, and shiny new icons rendered at full Retina Display resolution.
• Supports macOS Sierra and remains compatible with OS X 10.6 and higher.
• MegaSeg is now pure Cocoa to its core! A major "under the hood" improvement which results in numerous UI refinements, and sets a solid foundation for new features moving forward.
• The current song view (with mixer hidden) can now be scaled or zoomed by dragging a divider icon and it maintains a scaled ratio when resizing the window.
• Automatic song trimming now uses a smart volume sensing technique for improved segues, especially with cold and clean endings.
• The Playlist Browser now displays all track info with many sort, search, and display options.
• Decks have a refreshed layout featuring a track's full waveform overview.
• Stylish album art progress rings keeps you alert of a track's remaining time.
• Events can be accurately scheduled down to the second.
• Video Overlay displays "lower-third" track info with your custom logo and background images, including optional fly-in animations.
• Search is now integrated into all Library and Playlist views (even the Playlist Browser!) This not only gives you more room to type, but can also target your search to a specific list, category, or field.
• View Logs using date ranges, and export in custom formats (including BMI's Electronic Music Report).
• Restrict Daypart feature in the Edit dialog's History & Dates tab allows you to limit the hours of day a track will play. (For example, nights only.)
• Events adds a "Priority" flag option to prevent other 'insert events' from preceding them before play. There's a new Options field with three possible settings, Interrupt, Priority, or Standard. The Interrupt mode displays a hand icon, and Priority mode is a red flag. Clicking in the Options column toggles between modes.
• Album artwork now pulses to alert when a track is ending.
• Mixer loop waveform display with editable fine-tuned in/out points. Drag the edges of the Loop waveform view, or use Shift/Control with I/O keys (e.g. Shift-I to move the In-point forward, Control-I to move the In-point backward). Also the K key now toggles between Exit and Reloop.
• Color settings now affect the entire main interface (buttons and all) for a more uniform appearance. And yes, this supports inverse color schemes as well.
• The Mixer includes improved EQ controls.
• Events and Scheduler views are now fully resizable and easier to read with larger text.
• The Scheduler now automatically reconciles all played tracks (even manually inserted) as "most rested" for improved rotations. This also eliminates rotation issues when a track is in multiple categories.
• Edit dialog's Fade-Override setting can now be used to setup a hybrid or split-backtime scenario if you set a custom segue time greater than 5 seconds from end of the track's native length. This allows for music beds or stagers to play over half of a track, and backtime the remaining segment. (Note, do not check "Voice-over" to enable this feature. Use only Fade-Override and a custom segue time.)
• Streaming: Playing a live stream now displays, relays, and logs metadata.
• MIDI Presets for American Audio's VMS5 and Pioneer's DDJ-SB2.
• The Event's Insert URL function now supports podcast feeds to play the newest episode.
• Metadata support for TM Century's music library WAV file tags.
• Logging preset for TuneIn in the "Send track info to server" options.
• Web Command Interface adds InsertBreak, VoteUp, VoteDown, and Skip commands.
• Events's Insert Break (Serial Trigger) option now supports the USB Trigger from Sensorium Embedded for resume segue.
• Playlist files can now include a "Marker track" used to separate and label playlist sections with a header, comment, or reminder, using the format ":marker TEXT-TO-DISPLAY".
• Playlists supports using the new Marker function to flag the top of each hour and automatically skip forward if an hour goes over (i.e. purposefully overloaded).
• Events's Insert Break (Serial Trigger) can have a custom Segue Timeout settings in seconds. (Use 0 seconds to disable timeout, and defaults to 305 seconds or 5:05)
