The encoder that produced this file for some reason included an empty image as
the cover art and was confusing the tests.
I left the null check in place to deal with this situation in the future. I
think returning None is better than returning the empty string (which is of
course not a valid image).
This is an effort to make the distance object feel slightly more dict-like.
The name changed and order of tuples is reversed: we now yield (key, value)
instead of (value, key), which I think is a little more intuitive.
We were incorrectly adding 1 to the length of options to avoid a divide
by zero, when we should instead default the length to 1. Otherwise we
skew the penalty towards zero.
The new Distance object knows how to perform various types of distance
calculations (expression, equality, number, priority, string).
It will keep track of each individual penalty that has been applied so
that we can utilise that information in the UI and when making decisions
about the recommendation level.
We now display the top 3 penalties (sorted by weight) on the release
list (and "..." if there are more than 3), and we display all penalties
on the album info line and track change line.
The implementation of the `max_rec` setting has been simplified by
removing duplicate validation and instead looking at the penalties that
have been applied to a distance. As a result, we can now configure a
maximum recommendation for any penalty that might be applied.
We have a few new checks when calculating album distance:
`match: preferred: countries` and `match: preferred: media` can each be
set to a list of countries and media in order of your preference. These
are empty by default. A value that matches the first item will have no
penalty, and a value that doesn't match any item will have an unweighted
penalty of 1.0.
If `match: preferred: original_year` is set to "yes", beets will apply
an unweighted penalty of 1.0 for each year of difference between the
release year and the original year.
We now configure individual weights for `mediums` (disctotal), `label`,
`catalognum`, `country` and `albumdisambig` instead of a single generic
`minor` weight. This gives more control, but more importantly separates
and names the applied penalties so that the UI can convey exactly which
fields have contributed to the overall distance penalty.
Likewise, `missing tracks` and `unmatched tracks` are penalised and
displayed in the UI separately, instead of a combined `partial` penalty.
Display non-MusicBrainz source in the disambiguation string, and
"source" in the list of penalties if a release is penalised for being
a non-MusicBrainz.
