Update to 1.3.5:
1.3.5 (April 15, 2014)
----------------------
This is a short-term release that adds some great new stuff to beets. There's
support for tracking and calculating musical keys, the ReplayGain plugin was
expanded to work with more music formats via GStreamer, we can now import
directly from compressed archives, and the lyrics plugin is more robust.
One note for upgraders and packagers: this version of beets has a new
dependency in `enum34`_, which is a backport of the new `enum`_ standard
library module.
The major new features are:
* Beets can now import `zip`, `tar` and `rar` archives. Just type ``beet
import music.zip`` to have beets transparently extract the files to import.
* :doc:`/plugins/replaygain`: Added support for calculating ReplayGain values
with GStreamer as well the mp3gain program. This enables ReplayGain
calculation for any audio format. Thanks to Yevgeny Bezman.
* :doc:`/plugins/lyrics`: Lyrics should now be found for more songs. Searching
is now sensitive to featured artists and parenthesized title suffixes.
When a song has multiple titles, lyrics from all the named songs are now
concatenated. Thanks to Fabrice Laporte and Paul Phillips.
In particular, a full complement of features for supporting musical keys are
new in this release:
* A new `initial_key` is available in the database and files' tags. You can
set the field manually using a command like ``beet modify
initial_key=Am``.
* The :doc:`/plugins/echonest` sets the `initial_key` field if the data is
available.
* A new :doc:`/plugins/keyfinder` runs a command-line tool to get the key from
audio data and store it in the `initial_key` field.
There are also many bug fixes and little enhancements:
* :doc:`/plugins/echonest`: Truncate files larger than 50MB before uploading for
analysis.
* :doc:`/plugins/fetchart`: Fix a crash when the server does not specify a
content type. Thanks to Lee Reinhardt.
* :doc:`/plugins/convert`: The ``--keep-new`` flag now works correctly
and the library includes the converted item.
* The importer now logs a message instead of crashing when errors occur while
opening the files to be imported.
* :doc:`/plugins/embedart`: Better error messages in exceptional conditions.
* Silenced some confusing error messages when searching for a non-MusicBrainz
ID. Using an invalid ID (of any kind---Discogs IDs can be used there too) at
the "Enter ID:" importer prompt now just silently returns no results. More
info is in the verbose logs.
* :doc:`/plugins/mbsync`: Fix application of album-level metadata. Due to a
regression a few releases ago, only track-level metadata was being updated.
* On Windows, paths on network shares (UNC paths) no longer cause "invalid
filename" errors.
* :doc:`/plugins/replaygain`: Fix crashes when attempting to log errors.
* The :ref:`modify-cmd` command can now accept query arguments that contain =
signs. An argument is considered a query part when a : appears before any
=s. Thanks to mook.

1.3.4 (April 5, 2014)
---------------------
This release brings a hodgepodge of medium-sized conveniences to beets. A new
:ref:`config-cmd` command manages your configuration, we now have :ref:`bash
completion <completion>`, and the :ref:`modify-cmd` command can delete
attributes. There are also some significant performance optimizations to the
autotagger's matching logic.
One note for upgraders: if you use the :doc:`/plugins/fetchart`, it has a new
dependency, the `requests`_ module.
New stuff:
* Added a :ref:`config-cmd` command to manage your configuration. It can show
you what you currently have in your config file, point you at where the file
should be, or launch your text editor to let you modify the file. Thanks to
geigerzaehler.
* Beets now ships with a shell command completion script! See
:ref:`completion`. Thanks to geigerzaehler.
* The :ref:`modify-cmd` command now allows removing flexible attributes. For
example, ``beet modify artist:beatles oldies!`` deletes the ``oldies``
attribute from matching items. Thanks to brilnius.
* Internally, beets has laid the groundwork for supporting multi-valued
fields. Thanks to geigerzaehler.
* The importer interface now shows the URL for MusicBrainz matches. Thanks to
johtso.
* :doc:`/plugins/smartplaylist`: Playlists can now be generated from multiple
queries (combined with "or" logic). Album-level queries are also now
possible and automatic playlist regeneration can now be disabled. Thanks to
brilnius.
* :doc:`/plugins/echonest`: Echo Nest similarity now weights the tempo in
better proportion to other metrics. Also, options were added to specify
custom thresholds and output formats. Thanks to Adam M.
* Added the :ref:`after_write <plugin_events>` plugin event.
* :doc:`/plugins/lastgenre`: Separator in genre lists can now be
configured. Thanks to brilnius.
* We now only use "primary" aliases for artist names from MusicBrainz. This
eliminates some strange naming that could occur when the `languages` config
option was set. Thanks to Filipe Fortes.
* The performance of the autotagger's matching mechanism is vastly improved.
This should be noticeable when matching against very large releases such as
box sets.
* The :ref:`import-cmd` command can now accept individual files as arguments
even in non-singleton mode. Files are imported as one-track albums.
Fixes:
* Error messages involving paths no longer escape non-ASCII characters (for
legibility).
* Fixed a regression that made it impossible to use the :ref:`modify-cmd`
command to add new flexible fields. Thanks to brilnius.
* :doc:`/plugins/echonest`: Avoid crashing when the audio analysis fails.
Thanks to Pedro Silva.
* :doc:`/plugins/duplicates`: Fix checksumming command execution for files
with quotation marks in their names. Thanks again to Pedro Silva.
* Fix a crash when importing with both of the :ref:`group_albums` and
:ref:`incremental` options enabled. Thanks to geigerzaehler.
* Give a sensible error message when ``BEETSDIR`` points to a file. Thanks
again to geigerzaehler.
* Fix a crash when reading WMA files whose boolean-valued fields contain
strings. Thanks to johtso.
* :doc:`/plugins/fetchart`: The plugin now sends "beets" as the User-Agent
when making scraping requests. This helps resolve some blocked requests. The
plugin now also depends on the `requests`_ Python library.
* The :ref:`write-cmd` command now only shows the changes to fields that will
actually be written to a file.
* :doc:`/plugins/duplicates`: Spurious reports are now avoided for tracks with
missing values (e.g., no MBIDs). Thanks to Pedro Silva.
* The default :ref:`replace` sanitation options now remove leading whitespace
by default. Thanks to brilnius.
* :doc:`/plugins/importfeeds`: Fix crash when importing albums
containing ``/`` with the ``m3u_multi`` format.
* Avoid crashing on Mutagen bugs while writing files' tags.
* :doc:`/plugins/convert`: Display a useful error message when the FFmpeg
executable can't be found.

1.3.3 (February 26, 2014)
-------------------------
Version 1.3.3 brings a bunch changes to how item and album fields work
internally. Along with laying the groundwork for some great things in the
future, this brings a number of improvements to how you interact with beets.
Here's what's new with fields in particular:
* Plugin-provided fields can now be used in queries. For example, if you use
the :doc:`/plugins/inline` to define a field called ``era``, you can now
filter your library based on that field by typing something like
``beet list era:goldenage``.
* Album-level flexible attributes and plugin-provided attributes can now be
used in path formats (and other item-level templates).
* :ref:`Date-based queries <datequery>` are now possible. Try getting every
track you added in February 2014 with ``beet ls added:2014-02`` or in the
whole decade with ``added:2010..``. Thanks to Stig Inge Lea Bjørnsen.
* The :ref:`modify-cmd` command is now better at parsing and formatting
fields. You can assign to boolean fields like ``comp``, for example, using
either the words "true" or "false" or the numerals 1 and 0. Any
boolean-esque value is normalized to a real boolean. The :ref:`update-cmd`
and :ref:`write-cmd` commands also got smarter at formatting and colorizing
changes.
For developers, the short version of the story is that Item and Album objects
provide *uniform access* across fixed, flexible, and computed attributes. You
can write ``item.foo`` to access the ``foo`` field without worrying about
where the data comes from.
Unrelated new stuff:
* The importer has a new interactive option (*G* for "Group albums"),
command-line flag (``--group-albums``), and config option
(:ref:`group_albums`) that lets you split apart albums that are mixed
together in a single directory. Thanks to geigerzaehler.
* A new ``--config`` command-line option lets you specify an additional
configuration file. This option *combines* config settings with your default
config file. (As part of this change, the ``BEETSDIR`` environment variable
no longer combines---it *replaces* your default config file.) Thanks again
to geigerzaehler.
* :doc:`/plugins/ihate`: The plugin's configuration interface was overhauled.
Its configuration is now much simpler---it uses beets queries instead of an
ad-hoc per-field configuration. This is *backwards-incompatible*---if you
use this plugin, you will need to update your configuration. Thanks to
BrainDamage.
Other little fixes:
* :doc:`/plugins/echonest`: Tempo (BPM) is now always stored as an integer.
Thanks to Heinz Wiesinger.
* Fix Python 2.6 compatibility in some logging statements in
:doc:`/plugins/chroma` and :doc:`/plugins/lastgenre`.
* Prevent some crashes when things go really wrong when writing file metadata
at the end of the import process.
* New plugin events: ``item_removed`` (thanks to Romuald Conty) and
``item_copied`` (thanks to Stig Inge Lea Bjørnsen).
* The ``pluginpath`` config option can now point to the directory containing
plugin code. (Previously, it awkwardly needed to point at a directory
containing a ``beetsplug`` directory, which would then contain your code.
This is preserved as an option for backwards compatibility.) This change
should also work around a long-standing issue when using ``pluginpath`` when
beets is installed using pip. Many thanks to geigerzaehler.
* :doc:`/plugins/web`: The ``/item/`` and ``/album/`` API endpoints now
produce full details about albums and items, not just lists of IDs. Thanks
to geigerzaehler.
* Fix a potential crash when using image resizing with the
:doc:`/plugins/fetchart` or :doc:`/plugins/embedart` without ImageMagick
installed.
* Also, when invoking ``convert`` for image resizing fails, we now log an
error instead of crashing.
* :doc:`/plugins/fetchart`: The ``beet fetchart`` command can now associate
local images with albums (unless ``--force`` is provided). Thanks to
brilnius.
* :doc:`/plugins/fetchart`: Command output is now colorized. Thanks again to
brilnius.
* The :ref:`modify-cmd` command avoids writing files and committing to the
database when nothing has changed. Thanks once more to brilnius.
* The importer now uses the album artist field when guessing existing
metadata for albums (rather than just the track artist field). Thanks to
geigerzaehler.
* :doc:`/plugins/fromfilename`: Fix a crash when a filename contained only a
track number (e.g., ``02.mp3``).
* :doc:`/plugins/convert`: Transcoding should now work on Windows.
* :doc:`/plugins/duplicates`: The ``move`` and ``copy`` destination arguments
are now treated as directories. Thanks to Pedro Silva.
* The :ref:`modify-cmd` command now skips confirmation and prints a message if
no changes are necessary. Thanks to brilnius.
* :doc:`/plugins/fetchart`: When using the ``remote_priority`` config option,
local image files are no longer completely ignored.
* :doc:`/plugins/echonest`: Fix an issue causing the plugin to appear twice in
the output of the ``beet version`` command.
* :doc:`/plugins/lastgenre`: Fix an occasional crash when no tag weight was
returned by Last.fm.
* :doc:`/plugins/mpdstats`: Restore the ``last_played`` field. Thanks to
Johann Klähn.
* The :ref:`modify-cmd` command's output now clearly shows when a file has
been deleted.
* Album art in files with Vorbis Comments is now marked with the "front cover"
type. Thanks to Jason Lefley.
