* Album art. The tagger now, by default, downloads album art from
Amazon that is referenced in the MusicBrainz database. It places the
album art alongside the audio files in a file called (for example)
"cover.jpg". The "import_art" config option controls this behavior,
as do the -r and -R options to the import command. You can set the
name (minus extension) of the album art file with the
"art_filename" config option.
* Plugin architecture. Add-on modules can now add new commands to the
beets command-line interface. The "bpd" and "dadd" commands were
removed from the beets core and turned into plugins; BPD is loaded

so that new columns could be added to old databases--this is a
delicate feature, so it would be very wise to make a backup of your

* As a consequence of adding album art, the database was significantly
refactored to keep track of some information at an album (rather than
item) granularity. Databases created with earlier versions of beets
should work fine, but they won't have any "albums" in them--they'll
just be a bag of items.
* Fixed some bugs with encoding paths on Windows. Also, :s are now
replaced with -s in path names (instead of _s) for readability.
