3.1 for Workgroups

[NattyNarwhal]

• Artists, albums, and tracks can be favourited ("starred" in Subsonic parlance; we use a heart to avoid being confused with ratings). (Support starring things #113)
  • Favourited albums can be recalled in the server albums view.
  • Favourited status is synchronized to the server.
• Linking artists has been deprecated for now, and hidden behind an manual option.
  • It requires a lot more work to work correctly with arbitrary directores together with App Sandbox. (Linked tracks need bookmark to persist outside of music directory #197)
  • To re-enable it (for now, knowing the issues), run defaults write fr.read-write.Submariner canLinkImport -bool YES.
  • See the discussion thread on Rethinking the local library approach #201 for possible plans.
• A directory view has been added, for users of servers that organize files by directory and prefer managing files that way. (Feature request: View by folder (and other options) #173)
• A basic AppleScript dictionary has been added as a way to inspect and control playback programatically.
• Albums can be dragged tracklist or playlist drop targets to add their containing tracks.
• Files can be dropped onto the dock icon to import them. ([Feature] Drag and drop items into app/library for import #184)
• Empty artists entries are deleted from the local library on deleting downloaded items.
• The album sort order is configurable. By default, it sorts from oldest to newest. ([feature] Sort albums by date #187, Album sort order should be configurable #191)
• Move request handling into an off-thread queue.
• The album selection view has been rewritten to avoid deprecated types.
• Drag and drop handling code has been rewritten to avoid deprecated methods.
• Fix track ratings not getting updated from the remote server. (Cannot remove a song's rating  #198)
• Fix tracks not having a cover when imported.
• Fix imported tracks having the wrong bitrate shown in the inspector.
• Fix imported tracks not having a content type.
• Fix playlists not getting selected when navigating through history.
