--------------------------------------------------------
diffs between v1.66 and v1.65
-modifications/new:
-FFmpeg version (Win32):
-updated FFmpeg library from 4.3.1 to 4.4.0
-corrected WinXp support (FFmpeg is built without w32threads)
-demultiplexing error and event handling (at stop, eof) (ffmpdemux.c, in_ffmpg.c)
-crash if stream has not found in the file (ffmpstrm.c)
-DVB: durations of programs if database is not up to date (no valid events) (using fix/fake 1 sec) (drv_dtv.c)
-Win32: added https protocol support (only simple A/V streams, not YT) (note: SSL support requires OpenSSL DLLs) (drv_http.c, tcpcommon.c)
-Win32: added support for OpenSSL 1.1.x DLLs (libssl-1_1[-x64].dll) besides the old OpenSSL 1.0.x DLLs (ssleay32.dll) (tcpcommon.c, dll_load.c)
-Win32: trying to play https streams as simple http, if https access fails (eg: no OpenSSL dlls) (drv_http.c)
-next file selection (ctrl-enter) is saved and restored by mpxtabs.ini (startup.c, mpxplay.c, playlist.c)
-startup has a more precise play-status restoring (after exit from stop mode) (mpxplay.c)
-http/dvb: streams are not (re)open at program (re)start or at skip in pause/stop mode (just selected as new/next file) (mpxplay.c, diskdriv.c, drv_dtv.c, drv_http.c)
-DOS: added new PCI ids to Intel HDA soundcard driver (Intel CometLake/Alderlake chips) (sc_inthd.c)
-bugfixes/modifications/general:
-OGG: corrected metadata reading at large contents (eg: album art picture), editing of such OGG files is rejected (unsupported yet) (in_ogg.c, tagging.c)
-OGG/Vorbis: close (dealloc) of incorrect streams (info.c, sharbook.c)
-APE: decoder fixes to avoid crash at some files (unbitnew.c)
-MKV: automatically ignore/skip unknown stream formats (select/play the supported one) at multiply audio streams (ff_mkv.c)
-CDW (CD-A): added 10 sec timeout for read (to not drop read too early at CD spin up), better directory (CDW filelist) loading at FFmpeg, improved play stability (drv_cd.c)
-more stable commander dialogs (eg: F3 + skip + ESC + playstart) (diskfile.c)
-index editing (F4): additional range check (limit range to start of prev, end of next index entries) (fileinfo.c)
-empty config strings loading (not reloading default values after clearing string-type config fields) (control.c)
-buffer block size init at playing (starting with non enter key) (mpxinbuf.c)
-ftp[es]: improved functionality and stability (drv_ftp.c, tcpcommon.c, dll_load.c)
-termination (with ESC) of textfile load and (ssl) connection retry (diskdriv.c, tcpcommon.c)
-Win32: network name handling (slow program start at long volume name(s), if network drive became disconnected) (loaddir.c)
-Win32: removed high priority process wait (waiting for decoder prebuffer) from commander functions (can cause more problems than solves) (diskfile.c)
