beets 1.3.19
This is primarily a bug fix release: it cleans up a couple of regressions that appeared in the last version. But it also features the triumphant return of the beatport
and a modernized bpd
.
It's also the first version where beets passes all its tests on Windows! May this herald a new age of cross-platform reliability for beets.
New features:
beatport
: This metadata source plugin has arisen from the dead! It now works with Beatport's new OAuth-based API. Thanks to
@jbaiter. #1989 #2067bpd
: The plugin now uses the modern GStreamer 1.0 instead of the old 0.10. Thanks to @philippbeckmann. #2057 #2062- A new
--force
option for theremove
command allows removal of items without prompting beforehand. #2042 - A new duplicate_action importer config option controls how duplicate albums or tracks treated in import task. #185
Some fixes for Windows:
- Queries are now detected as paths when they contain backslashes (in addition to forward slashes). This only applies on Windows.
embedart
: Image similarity comparison with ImageMagick should now work on Windows.fetchart
: The plugin should work more reliably with non-ASCII paths.
And other fixes:
replaygain
: Thebs1770gain
backend now correctly calculates sample peak instead of true peak. This comes with a major speed increase. #2031lyrics
: Avoid a crash and a spurious warning introduced in the last version about a Google API key, which appeared even when you hadn't enabled the Google lyrics source.- Fix a hard-coded path to
bash-completion
to work better with Homebrew installations. Thanks to @bismark. #2038 - Fix a crash introduced in the previous version when the standard input was connected to a Unix pipe. #2041
- Fix a crash when specifying non-ASCII format strings on the command line with the
-f
option for many commands. #2063 fetchart
: Determine the file extension for downloaded images based on the image's magic bytes. The plugin prints a warning if result is not consistent with the server-suppliedContent-Type
header. In previous versions, the plugin would use a.jpg
extension for all images. #2053
