+This version of beets focuses on transitioning the autotagger to the new version
+of the MusicBrainz database (called NGS). This transition brings with it a
+number of long-overdue improvements: most notably, predictable behavior when
+tagging multi-disc albums and integration with the new `Acoustid`_ acoustic
