"New Features

Some of these features may only work in combination with mpd from svn.

    * Playlist queue's: You can now select songs to be played next. Screenshot
    * Playlist Editor: You can now create/delete a playlist. add, remove and
move songs in a playlist. Screenshot
    * Chain search rules: When searching in the playlist or the database you
can now chain your queries using and and or f.e: Artist "Norah Jones" and Album
"Not Too Late" or Artist "Eric Clapton" and Album "Unplugged". Screenshot
    * New Tag browser: You can now create your own tag browsers in "itunes"
style. With inline cover art. Screenshot
    * Similar artist support: The metadata can now show (if the last.fm plugin
is installed) show similar artists, and allows you to browse them. Screenshot
    * Message bar: When an event occurs, f.e. a disconnect gmpc now shows an
inline message. The type of messages to be showed can be configured.
    * Message window: Shows a backlog of old messages showed in gmpc.

Improvements

    * File browser: The file browser now has 2 panes, one folder tree, and a
folder content list. Screenshot
    * Sorting: Song list, tag lists and more can everywhere be sorted by
clicking on the headers.Screenshot
    * Keybindings: You can now easily with the keyboard enabled disable audio
outputs, or switch from one browser to the other.
    * Metadata: It's now easier to (re)fetch metadata.
    * Drag and Drop: You can now drag and drop artist/albums from the
metabrowser on the player-bar, adding to or replacing the current playlist.
    * GtkStatusIcon: Tray icon now works on linux, windows and mac osX.
    * Right mouse menu: This now works as expected, if you click on a selected
row, it shows the menu, if you right click on a not-selected row, it will
select the row first.
    * Proxy: The proxy can now be set from the preferences window.
    * Reordering of the left pane.
    * Huge amount of bugs fixed.
    * An even huger amount of improvements in the code, allot of code re-use
and duplication has been removed.

Regressions and known Bugs

In every piece of software there are bugs, gmpc included. These are luckily all
low-impact bugs.

    * Output state does not update correctly when set from another mpd client.
This is partially a limitation of mpd.
    * It's possible gmpc thinks it's connected to another profile then it
actually is.
    * The file browser when reconnected does not always show the right pane
filled, selecting it again corrects it.
    * Mouse over on the new tray-icon does not work, also scrolling does not.
This is a limitation of gtk's GtkStatusIcon."

Thanks! If I have time tomorrow, I'll try to see if a mere bump on the ebuild
filenames makes everything happy (including plugins).
