-New pagination logic (page list at bottom on f.x song and artist list) - hopefully a bit better than before

-A new queue limit is introduced. Now you can only have one song at or below vote 2.5 in the queue. This is to limit crap sessions a bit.

-There is now support for playing youtube videos in the "Currently Playing" info. If you find that annoying, you can turn it off in your profile.

- Also added some song lock info to the xml files, and user favs

- Queue now shows song ratings, and there's a video icon showing on the songs that have video information added.

Some more info about the YouTube feature:

First of all, it's on by default. There are a few reasons for this. First of all, I think it's not only awesome, it will further help this radio's brand and self identity as a DEMOSCENE radio. Second, I want it to be on for all new accounts to be created. Thirdly, I feel it gives a better representation of the music being played, shows new demos to people who haven't seen them, and help new people understand that the music is not just music, but part of something more.
There are some that doesn't want it, and they can of course turn it off. So far, there have been few people who have expressed this opinion, and even fewer after actually seeing it in use Of course, if the majority of people want it off by default, that can be changed.

Second, they're not synced. First of all, the finest time unit we can set the offset of the youtube video is 1 second. Second, there's buffering / init / caching delay on the client side that varies a lot, which is completely out of our control. It will usually be around +/- 2-3 seconds. For my machine, the stream lag seem to fit perfectly with the youtube lag, and hit usually within half a second to a second

Thirdly, it doesn't use the user supplied youtube links for various reasons, and is something moderators have to enable for each song. So I suspect it will only be video on the few really good ones

Fourthly, it seem to be some problem with ajax load on some browsers, on those video won't show up until page itself is refreshed. I'm looking into that.

Ok, think that covers most of the feedback I've gotten about that feature"
