Changelog
=========
1.3.5 (in development)
1.3.5 (April 15, 2014)
----------------------
This is a short-term release that adds some great new stuff to beets. There's
support for tracking and calculating musical keys, the ReplayGain plugin was
expanded to work with more music formats via GStreamer, we can now import
directly from compressed archives, and the lyrics plugin is more robust.
One note for upgraders and packagers: this version of beets has a new
dependency in `enum34`_, which is a backport of the new `enum`_ standard
library module.
New stuff:
The major new features are:
* Beets can now import `zip`, `tar` and `rar` archives. Just type ``beet
import music.zip`` to have beets transparently extract the files to import.
* :doc:`/plugins/replaygain`: Added support for calculating ReplayGain values
with GStreamer as well the mp3gain programs. This enables ReplayGain
calculation for any audio format.
with GStreamer as well the mp3gain program. This enables ReplayGain
calculation for any audio format. Thanks to Yevgeny Bezman.
* :doc:`/plugins/lyrics`: Lyrics should now be found for more songs. Searching
is now sensitive to featured artists and parenthesized title suffixes.
When a song has multiple titles, lyrics from all the named songs are now
concatenated. Thanks to Fabrice Laporte and Paul Phillips.
* Add support for `initial_key` as field in the library and tag for
media files. When the user sets this field with ``beet modify
initial_key=Am`` the media files will reflect this in their tags. The
:doc:`/plugins/echonest` also sets this field if the data is
available.
* There is also a new :doc:`/plugins/keyfinder` that runs a command line
program to get the key from audio data and store it in the
`initial_key` field.
* Beets can now import `zip`, `tar` and `rar` archives.
Fixes:
In particular, a full complement of features for supporting musical keys are
new in this release:
* A new `initial_key` is available in the database and files' tags. You can
set the field manually using a command like ``beet modify
initial_key=Am``.
* The :doc:`/plugins/echonest` sets the `initial_key` field if the data is
available.
* A new :doc:`/plugins/keyfinder` runs a command-line tool to get the key from
audio data and store it in the `initial_key` field.
There are also many bug fixes and little enhancements:
* :doc:`/plugins/echonest`: Truncate files larger than 50MB before uploading for
analysis.
