## Description
Adds line block markup to example substitutions in the plugin
documentation, so that each case is shown on a separate line:
> The replacement can be an expression utilising the matched regex,
allowing us to create more general rules. Say for example, we want to
sort all albums by multiple artists into the directory of the first
artist. We can thus capture everything before the first ,, `` &`` or ``
and``, and use this capture group in the output, discarding the rest of
the string.
>
> ```yaml
> substitute:
> ^(.*?)(,| &| and).*: \1
> ```
>
> This would handle all the below cases in a single rule:
>
>> Bob Dylan and The Band -> Bob Dylan
>> Neil Young & Crazy Horse -> Neil Young
>> James Yorkston, Nina Persson & The Second Hand Orchestra -> James
Yorkston
Fixes an issue where each spotify query was converted to ascii before sending. Adds a
new config option to enable legacy behaviour.
A file called japanese_track_request.json was made to mimic the Spotify
API response since I don't have the credentials. Entries in that will
need to be modified with the actual entries.

## Description
Fixes#5560. Also a couple other incidental changes / improvements:
* Add `EventType` that holds the actual string literals used for event
sending. With type checking, this can prevent subtle bugs resulting from
misspelled event names.
* Fix `HiddenFileTest` by using `bytestring_path()`

Adds replace plugin. The plugin allows the user to replace the audio
file of a song, while keeping the tags and file name.
Some music servers keep track of favourite songs via paths and tags. Now
there won't be a need to 'refavourite'. Plus, this skips the
import/merge steps.
## Description
Fixes#5802.
Today, tests fail on most Windows machines because we hard-code `D:` as
the root drive, but most machines use `C:`. This change uses the same
normalization function in the test assertion to ensure the drives match.
## To Do
- [ ] ~~Documentation.~~
- [x] Changelog.
- [x] Tests. (this is a tests change)
## What changed?
* Updated tests to generate the drive name via normalization, instead of
hard-coding `D:`.
* Updated the `Item::destination()` method to document the
`relative_to_libdir` param.
## How tested?
* [x] Tests pass locally.
## Description
The current developer documentation feels somewhat cluttered due to
inline auto-generated API references for certain classes. To improve
readability and maintainability, this PR introduces a more streamlined
approach that aligns better with best practices observed in other PyData
ecosystem documentation.
Specifically, this PR:
- Adds a dedicated `api/` folder to the documentation structure.
- Moves all auto-generated references (classes, methods, etc.) to this
folder.
- Enables clean, concise linking to API elements from the narrative
documentation—without interrupting human-written content with large
autogenerated blocks.
This separation makes the documentation easier to navigate and maintain,
while still providing full API reference coverage where needed.

Add link to community plugin
[`beets-filetote`](https://github.com/gtronset/beets-filetote).
This plugin is the spiritual successor to
[beets-copyartifacts](https://github.com/adammillerio/beets-copyartifacts)
(`beets-copyartifacts3` was last updated 3 years ago) and
[beets-extrafiles](https://github.com/Holzhaus/beets-extrafiles) (last
updated 5 years ago).
Given the updates and changes in beets and how outdated those plugins
are, does it make sense to keep `beets-copyartifacts` in the community
plugins list?

TIL that `with_suffix` does not simply append the suffix to the filename
- it instead replaces the old/current suffix. Or whatever seems to
look like a suffix, in our case, unfortunately...
## Description
This might be a quick one, depending on how you feel about it... It
allows you to pickle DB model objects. I don't think this is used
directly in Beets, but it might be useful in general. For instance, we
encountered an issue where we wanted to quickly pickle an Item or Album.
This sometimes worked and other times failed, which seemed quite
inconsistent.
Some DB model methods and properties have the side effect of attaching
an SQLite connection to self (._db), which prevents serialization. The
fix is quite straightforward, so I thought we might want to integrate
this into beets directly.
## To Do

FtInTitle performs a library store operation for every item it
processes, whether or not the item has changed. By limiting the
`item.store()` call to only those cases when the item has changed, the
plugin’s performance when processing an entire library improves by two
to three orders of magnitude.
Using the correct function signature for g_file_new_for_path fixes the
tests on s390x.
I do not have the full story on why this failed consistently only on
s390x, but I guess the big endian might have something to play with
this.
Here is how the tests were failing:
```
169s ___________________________ ThumbnailsTest.test_uri ____________________________
169s
169s self = <test.plugins.test_thumbnails.ThumbnailsTest testMethod=test_uri>
169s
169s def test_uri(self):
169s gio = GioURI()
169s if not gio.available:
169s self.skipTest("GIO library not found")
169s
169s > assert gio.uri("/foo") == "file:///" # silent fail
169s E AssertionError: assert '' == 'file:///'
169s E
169s E - file:///
169s
169s test/plugins/test_thumbnails.py:268: AssertionError
```
You can see a full log here [1] and a history of consistent failure
here [2]. Both links are bound to expire at some point, sorry future
archeologist 🤷.
