It’s been almost 3 years since the previous release, but the new one is finally here! It was a lot of effort to make it happen.
Aside from the regular changelog post, I’d like to add that you might have noticed the major version bump. It’s not because of any compatibility loss, but simply because we decided that DeaDBeeF is mature enough to stop using version 0. Thanks everyone who have helped to ship this release, either by reporting issues, or by submitting patches! And enjoy the new features!
