1.3.9 (in development)
----------------------
Features:
This release adds two new standard plugins to beets: one for synchronizing
Last.fm listening data and one for integrating with Linux desktops. We gained
the ability to search for album art on the iTunes store and a new way to
compute ReplayGain levels.
The major new features are:
* A new :doc:`/plugins/lastimport` lets you download your play count data from
Last.fm. Thanks to Rafael Bodill.
Last.fm into a flexible attribute. Thanks to Rafael Bodill.
* A new :doc:`/plugins/freedesktop` creates metadata files for
Freedesktop.org--compliant file managers. Thanks to :user:`kerobaros`.
:bug:`1056`, :bug:`707`
* :doc:`/plugins/fetchart`: You can now search for art on the iTunes Store.
There's also a new ``sources`` config option that lets you choose exactly
where to look for images and in which order.
* :doc:`/plugins/replaygain`: A new Python Audio Tools backend was added.
Thanks to Francesco Rubino. :bug:`1070`
* :doc:`/plugins/embedart`: You can now automatically check that new art looks
similar to existing art---ensuring that you only get a better "version" of
the art you already have. See :ref:`image-similarity-check`.
* Re-imports of your existing music (see :ref:`reimport`) now preserve its
added date and flexible attributes. Thanks to Stig Inge Lea Bjørnsen.
* :doc:`/plugins/bpd`: Add a new configuration option for setting the default
volume. Thanks to IndiGit.
* :doc:`/plugins/ftintitle`: The plugin now runs automatically on import. To
disable this, unset the ``auto`` config flag.
There are also core improvements and other substantial additions:
* The ``media`` attribute is now a *track-level field* instead of an
album-level one. This field stores the delivery mechanism for the music, so
in its album-level incarnation, it could not represent heterogeneous
releases---for example, an album consisting of a CD and a DVD. Now, tracks
accurately indicate the media they appear on. Thanks to Heinz Wiesinger.
* Re-imports of your existing music (see :ref:`reimport`) now preserve its
added date and flexible attributes. Thanks to Stig Inge Lea Bjørnsen.
* Slow queries, such as those over flexible attributes, should now be much
faster when used with certain commands---notably, the :doc:`/plugins/play`.
* :doc:`/plugins/bpd`: Add a new configuration option for setting the default
volume. Thanks to IndiGit.
* :doc:`/plugins/embedart`: A new ``ifempty`` config option lets you only
embed album art when no album art is present. Thanks to kerobaros.
* :doc:`/plugins/ftintitle`: The plugin now runs automatically on import. To
disable this, unset the ``auto`` config flag.
And countless little improvements and fixes:
* Standard cover art in APEv2 metadata is now supported. Thanks to Matthias
Kiefer. :bug:`1042`
* :doc:`/plugins/fetchart`: Art can now be searched for on the iTunes Store.
There's also a new ``sources`` config option that lets you choose exactly
where to look for images and in which order.
* :doc:`/plugins/replaygain`: A new Python Audio Tools backend was added.
Thanks to Francesco Rubino. :bug:`1070`
Fixes:
* :doc:`/plugins/convert`: Does not crash when embedding cover art
fails.
* :doc:`/plugins/mpdstats`: Fix an error on start (introduced in the previous

quantities (track numbers and durations), which was often confusing.
* Date-based queries that are malformed (not parse-able) no longer crash
beets and instead fail silently.
* Slow queries, such as those over flexible attributes, should now be much
faster when used with certain commands---notably, the :doc:`/plugins/play`.
* :doc:`/plugins/duplicates`: Emit an error when the ``checksum`` config
option is set incorrectly.
* The migration from pre-1.1, non-YAML configuration files has been removed.
