The Service:
With this release comes the ability to install a Windows service version of the
application. This means a lot of things for users, including no longer havine the
requirement of being logged into the PC to have XMRO on your devices. The service
installs and will automatically start with Windows by default. The service will read
your configuration file and run with the same settings (you MUST check the AUTOLOGIN
box in Configuration). If you make configuration changes while the service is running,
be sure to save the changes and then using the Service Control tab, click Restart.
The service opperates the same way as the application normally does, except without
a user interface, although, you may still launch XMTuner to make changes to the service
or remove it completely if you wish.

Changes from 0.2
- Ability to run server as a service (no need to stay logged in to Windows)
- Service control mechanism in the user interface
- Cleaner UI
- Fixed several crash-worthy bugs
- Caching of channel data
- Refreshing of "playing" info every 30 seconds
- MP3 Transcoding via TVersity
- Custom addresses via configuration
- New configuration format
- New configuration location
- Substancial UI enhancement
- Updated "What's On" Page
- Automatically checks for new versions
