Changelog
=========
1.3.7 (in development)
----------------------
1.3.7 (August 22, 2014)
-----------------------
New stuff
This release of beets fixes all the bugs, and you can be confident that you
will never again find any bugs in beets, ever.
It also adds support for plain old AIFF files and adds three more plugins,
including a nifty one that lets you measure a song's tempo by tapping out the
beat on your keyboard.
The importer deals more elegantly with duplicates and you can broaden your
cover art search to the entire web with Google Image Search.
The big new features are:
* Support for AIFF files. Tags are stored as ID3 frames in one of the file's
IFF chunks. Thanks to Evan Purkhiser for contributing support to `Mutagen`_.
* The new :doc:`/plugins/importadded` reads files' modification times to set
their "added" date. Thanks to Stig Inge Lea Bjørnsen.
* Support for AIFF files. Tags are stored as ID3 frames in one of the file's
IFF chunks.
* A new :ref:`required` configuration option for the importer skips matches
that are missing certain data. Thanks to oprietop.
* The new :doc:`/plugins/bpm` lets you manually measure the tempo of a playing
song. Thanks to aroquen.
* The new :doc:`/plugins/spotify` generates playlists for your `Spotify`_
account. Thanks to Olin Gay.
* A new :ref:`required` configuration option for the importer skips matches
that are missing certain data. Thanks to oprietop.
* When the importer detects duplicates, it now shows you some details about
the potentially-replaced music so you can make an informed decision. Thanks
to Howard Jones.
* :doc:`/plugins/fetchart`: You can now optionally search for cover art on
Google Image Search. Thanks to Lemutar.
* A new :ref:`asciify-paths` configuration option replaces all non-ASCII
characters in paths.
