Introduction
We are pleased to announce the availability of Helium 2005 (Build 4601). This Service Release mainly delivers corrective fixes.

We recommend that all users of Helium 2005 upgrade to this version.
We also draw to our user’s attention that, as normal, it is strongly recommended that you perform a backup of Helium’s database prior to the upgrade: use File | Backup… process from the main menu.

We continue to focus our attention on consistency, stability and the ensuring of data integrity. We have added two new minor features in this Service Release.

New & enhanced functions and usability features
We have added automatic conversion for attached pictures with incorrect mime types (for example picture is mime typed as a JPEG but is actually a BMP or GIF).

Vorbis Comments Rating compatibility has been improved by saving the rating in Helium's format as well as the more standardized format named ‘RATING’.

Corrective Fixes
Corrective fixes have been applied to Helium’s processing in the following areas:

Add To Database:
-Corrected the "Add folder to Database" and "Add folder recursively to database" logic in the File Browser. Previously the wrong folder contents could be added.

Tags:
-Logic corrected so that empty APIC frames are now handled correctly.
-Tempo is correctly saved for MPEG4 files.

Action Manager:
-An ID3v1 tag is now only saved if it previously existed.
Quick editor:
-When a file is renamed, the Database is now correctly updated.
Media Library:
-Expanding a year node under decade with a filter active no longer causes an error message.
Track Lists:
-‘Copy To Folder’/’Move To Folder’ is now properly enabled for all file types.

Tag Editor:
-Resolved a crash which could occur in some rare cases when cancelling a plugin data download.
-Resolved a crash when expanding FN2T

MPEGA:
-An ID3v1 tag is now only saved if it previously existed.
