Version 1.3 - 2014-10-20
* The "About" window now displays the versions of libraries used by Picard
* Picard now correctly handles matching of MP3 files saved in ID3v2.3 tags
(which is the version that Microsoft Windows and iTunes both use).
Note: You may need to re-save your tags once to get them to match in future.
* A sort tags plugin is now provided as tag data is no longer
displayed sorted by default.

Track MBID introduced in the May 2013 schema change release, is now
written to files.

release types (PICARD-516)

api version bumps to 1.3.0

* Compilation tag/variable functionality (for tagging & file naming)
has been split into two:

Various Artists type compilations
- %_multiartist% variable now indicates whether this release has
tracks by multiple artists (in order to prepend the artist name
to the filename as shown in the default file naming script)
* autodetect the CD drive on Mac OS X (PICARD-123)
* Ignore directories and files while indexing when show_hidden_files
option is set to False (PICARD-528)

can be set in Options > Advanced (PICARD-528)

one in Jaikoz, which contains the individual artist names from the
artist credit. Also useful in scripts (joining phrases like 'feat:'
are omitted) and plugins.
* Added "_artists_sort", "_albumartists", "_albumartists_sort"
variables for scripts and plugins.
* Made Picard use the country names also used on the MusicBrainz
website (PICARD-205)

* Improve the Other Releases list to prioritise and separate releases
which match the correct number of tracks and your Options /
Metadata / Prefered Releases settings for Country and Format.

regardless of disc structure (so you can numbers tracks on
multi-disc releases without a disc number)
* Support dropping image directly from Google image results to cover
art box
* Add %_musicbrainz_tracknumber% to hold track # as shown on
MusicBrainz release web-page e.g. vinyl/cassette style A1, A2, B1,
B2

(PICARD-218)

or TPOS tags (PICARD-112)

either because they themselves are not ready or because a
dependency isn't. This is annotated by
PYTHON_VERSIONS_INCOMPATIBLE= 33 # not yet ported as of x.y.z
or
PYTHON_VERSIONS_INCOMPATIBLE= 33 # py-foo, py-bar
respectively, please use the same style for other packages,
and check during updates.
Use versioned_dependencies.mk where applicable.
Use REPLACE_PYTHON instead of handcoded alternatives, where applicable.
Reorder Makefile sections into standard order, where applicable.
Remove PYTHON_VERSIONS_INCLUDE_3X lines since that will be default
with the next commit.
Whitespace cleanups and other nits corrected, where necessary.
Remove devel/py-ctypes (only needed by and supporting python24).
Remove PYTHON_VERSIONS_ACCEPTED and PYTHON_VERSIONS_INCOMPATIBLE
lines that just mirror defaults now.
Miscellaneous cleanup while editing all these files.
