They say DAW means "Digital Audio Workstation" but I think it's secretly called that because it's the sound a cool synth bass makes.

#deepsid Added search commands. Type '+' plus a shortcut (e.g., +hub, +jammer) to jump directly to a composer folder. Commands match against composer folders in the database.

#deepsid DeepSID now caches CSDb data, such as images, release and SID pages, to improve loading times and reduce the pressure on the CSDb server.

#deepsid You can now navigate the SID folders using keyboard controls; specifically, the arrow keys (up/down), Home, End, Page Up, Page Down, and Enter to select a SID row. Press Backspace to go back one folder. Click this link for more information.

#deepsid The "No SID Handler" option has been added. It obviously plays no music, but can be handy when you just want to browse for information. The auto-play overlay is not shown either.

#deepsid After clicking a SID row in the folder list, you can now use standard navigation keys such as Home, End, Page Up, Page Down, and the arrow keys.

#deepsid You can now click any screenshot (not just in the GB64 tab) to view it at three times its original size.

#deepsid The 'Remix' tab is working again in DeepSID.

#deepsid The 'GB64' tab is back, showing game information from GameBase64 whenever a SID file is used in one or more games. DeepSID now uses an imported database instead of scraping the site, which is both safer and faster.

The thumbnails in the left side of CShellDB are now static. If the thumbnail was originally an animated GIF, you have to click the entry to see the animation on its page. This should make the list less distracting.
