Changelog for beets-1.6.0-3.3.noarch.rpm :

* Tue Aug 22 2023 Jaime Marquínez Ferrándiz - Fix the names of the Flask recommended packages
* Fri Apr 22 2022 pgajdosAATTsuse.com- python-mock is not required for build
* Fri Feb 11 2022 Jaime Marquínez Ferrándiz - Update to 1.6.0:
* Major new features:
* When fetching genres from MusicBrainz, we now include genres from the release group (in addition to the release). We also prioritize genres based on the number of votes. Thanks to AATTaereaux.
* Primary and secondary release types from MusicBrainz are now stored in a new albumtypes field.
* An accompanying new albumtypes includes some options for formatting this new albumtypes field.
* Other new things:
* permissions: The plugin now sets cover art permissions to match the audio file permissions.
* unimported: A new configuration option supports excluding specific subdirectories in library.
* info: Add support for an --album flag.
* export: Similarly add support for an --album flag.
* beet move now highlights path differences in color (when enabled).
* When moving files and a direct rename of a file is not possible (for example, when crossing filesystems), beets now copies to a temporary file in the target folder first and then moves to the destination instead of directly copying the target path. This gets us closer to always updating files atomically.
* fetchart: Add a new option to store cover art as non-progressive image. This is useful for DAPs that do not support progressive images. Set deinterlace: yes in your configuration to enable this conversion.
* fetchart: Add a new option to change the file format of cover art images. This may also be useful for DAPs that only support some image formats.
* Support flexible attributes in %aunique.
* Make %aunique faster, especially when using inline fields.
* Bug fixes:
* lyrics: Fix a crash when Beautiful Soup is not installed.
* discogs: Support a new Discogs URL format for IDs.
* discogs: Remove built-in rate-limiting because the Discogs Python library we use now has its own rate-limiting.
* export: Fix some duplicated output.
* aura: Fix a potential security hole when serving image files.
* The six package is no longer required.
* The full changelog can be read at https://github.com/beetbox/beets/releases/tag/v1.6.0- Run fdupes
* Fri Feb 11 2022 Jaime Marquínez Ferrándiz - Update to 1.5.0:
* Major new features:
* Fields in queries now fall back to an item\'s album and check its fields too. Notably, this allows querying items by an album\'s attribute: in other words, beet list foo:bar will not only find tracks with the foo attribute; it will also find tracks on albums that have the foo attribute. This may be particularly useful in the path-format-config, which matches individual items to decide which path to use.
* A new reflink config option instructs the importer to create fast, copy-on-write file clones on filesystems that support them.
* A new unimported lets you find untracked files in your library directory.
* The aura has arrived! Try out the future of remote music library access today.
* We now fetch information about works from MusicBrainz. MusicBrainz matches provide the fields work (the title), mb_workid (the MBID), and work_disambig (the disambiguation string).
* A new parentwork gets information about the original work, which is useful for classical music.
* bpd: BPD now supports most of the features of version 0.16 of the MPD protocol. This is enough to get it talking to more complicated clients like ncmpcpp, but there are still some incompatibilities, largely due to MPD commands we don\'t support yet.
* A new deezer can autotag tracks and albums using the Deezer database.
* A new bareasc provides a new query type: \"bare ASCII\" queries that ignore accented characters, treating them as though they were plain ASCII characters. Use the # prefix with list or other commands.
* fetchart: The plugin can now get album art from last.fm.
* web: The API now supports the HTTP DELETE and PATCH methods for modifying items. They are disabled by default; set readonly: no in your configuration file to enable modification via the API.
* Some functionality has been move to their own python packags: Confuse and MediaFile. Mutagen is no longer a direct dependency.
* Full changelog available at https://github.com/beetbox/beets/releases/tag/v1.5.0- Drop 0001-Fixed-failing-test-where.patch: Included upstream- Drop fix_test_command_line_option_relative_to_working_dir.diff: Included upstream- Drop 0001-Compatibility-with-breaking-changes-to-the-ast-module.patch: Included upstream
* Wed Oct 28 2020 Antonio Larrosa - Add patch to fix a crash due to invalid use of the ast module (boo#1178199):
* 0001-Compatibility-with-breaking-changes-to-the-ast-module.patch- Use %license
* Sat Jun 29 2019 Jaime Marquínez Ferrándiz - Update to 1.4.9:
* This small update is part of our attempt to release new versions more often! There are a few important fixes, and we\'re clearing the deck for a change to beets\' dependencies in the next version.
* The new feature is:
* You can use the NO_COLOR environment variable to disable terminal colors.
* There are some fixes in this release:
* Fix a regression in the last release that made the image resizer fail to detect older versions of ImageMagick.
* gmusic: The oauth_file config option now supports more flexible path values, including ~ for the home directory.
* gmusic: Fix a crash when using version 12.0.0 or later of the gmusicapi module.
* Fix an incompatibility with Python 3.8\'s AST changes.
* Here\'s a note for packagers:
* pathlib is now an optional test dependency on Python 3.4+, removing the need for a Debian patch.- Remove fix-pathlib-requirement.diff: Incorporated upstream
* Sun May 19 2019 Jaime Marquínez Ferrándiz - Update to 1.4.8:
* This release is far too long in coming, but it\'s a good one. There is the usual torrent of new features and a ridiculously long line of fixes, but there are also some crucial maintenance changes. We officially support Python 3.7 and 3.8, and some performance optimizations can (anecdotally) make listing your library more than three times faster than in the previous version.
* The new core features are:
* A new config-aunique configuration option allows setting default options for the aunique template function.
* The albumdisambig field no longer includes the MusicBrainz release group disambiguation comment. A new releasegroupdisambig field has been added.
* The modify command now allows resetting fixed attributes. For example, beet modify -a artist:beatles artpath! resets artpath attribute from matching albums back to the default value.
* A new importer option, ignore_data_tracks, lets you skip audio tracks contained in data files.
* There are some new plugins:
* The playlist can query the beets library using M3U playlists.
* The loadext allows loading of SQLite extensions, primarily for use with the ICU SQLite extension for internationalization.
* The subsonicupdate can automatically update your Subsonic library.
* And many improvements to existing plugins:
* lastgenre: Added option -A to match individual tracks and singletons.
* play: The plugin can now emit a UTF-8 BOM, fixing some issues with foobar2000 and Winamp.
* gmusic:
* Add a new option to automatically upload to Google Play Music library on track import.
* Add new options for Google Play Music authentication.
* replaygain: albumpeak on large collections is calculated as the average, not the maximum.
* chroma:
* Now optionally has a bias toward looking up more relevant releases according to the preferred configuration options.
* Fingerprint values are now properly stored as strings, which prevents strange repeated output when running beet write.
* convert: The plugin now has an id3v23 option that allows you to override the global id3v23 option.
* spotify:
* The plugin now uses OAuth for authentication to the Spotify API.
* The plugin now works as an import metadata provider: you can match tracks and albums using the Spotify database.
* ipfs: The plugin now supports a nocopy option which passes that flag to ipfs.
* discogs: The plugin now has rate limiting for the Discogs API.
* mpdstats, mpdupdate: These plugins now use the MPD_PORT environment variable if no port is specified in the configuration file.
* bpd:
* MPD protocol commands consume and single are now supported along with updated semantics for repeat and previous and new fields for status. The bpd server now understands and ignores some additional commands.
* MPD protocol command idle is now supported, allowing the MPD version to be bumped to 0.14.
* MPD protocol command decoders is now supported.
* The plugin now uses the main beets logging system. The special-purpose - -debug flag has been removed.
* mbsync: The plugin no longer queries MusicBrainz when either the mb_albumid or mb_trackid field is invalid. See also the discussion on Google Groups
* export: The plugin now also exports path field if the user explicitly specifies it with -i parameter. This only works when exporting library fields.
* acousticbrainz: The plugin now declares types for all its fields, which enables easier querying and avoids a problem where very small numbers would be stored as strings.
* Some improvements have been focused on improving beets\' performance:
* Querying the library is now faster:
* We only convert fields that need to be displayed.
* We now compile templates once and reuse them instead of recompiling them to print out each matching object.
* Querying the library for items is now faster, for all queries that do not need to access album level properties. This was implemented by lazily fetching the album only when needed.
* absubmit, badfiles: Analysis now works in parallel (on Python 3 only).
* mpdstats: Use the currentsong MPD command instead of playlist to get the current song, improving performance when the playlist is long.
* Several improvements are related to usability:
* The disambiguation string for identifying albums in the importer now shows the catalog number.
* Added whitespace padding to missing tracks dialog to improve readability.
* The move command now lists the number of items already in-place.
* Modify selection can now be applied early without selecting every item.
* Beets now emits more useful messages during startup if SQLite returns an error. The SQLite error message is now attached to the beets message.
* Fixed a confusing typo when the convert plugin copies the art covers.
* Many other fixes
* The full changelog can be read at https://github.com/beetbox/beets/releases/tag/v1.4.8- Remove fix_python_3_7_compatibility.patch: No longer needed
* Sat Feb 09 2019 Jaime Marquínez Ferrándiz - Add fix_python_3_7_compatibility.patch: fix compatibility with python 3.7
* Sat Jun 02 2018 jaime.marquinez.ferrandizAATTfastmail.net- Update to 1.4.7:
* This new release includes lots of new features in the importer and the metadata source backends that it uses. We\'ve changed how the beets importer handles non-audio tracks listed in metadata sources like MusicBrainz:
* The importer now ignores non-audio tracks (namely, data and video tracks) listed in MusicBrainz. Also, a new option, ignore_video_tracks, lets you return to the old behavior and include these video tracks.
* A new importer option, ignored_media, can let you skip certain media formats.
* There are other subtle improvements to metadata handling in the importer:
* In the MusicBrainz backend, beets now imports the musicbrainz_releasetrackid field.
* A new importer configuration option, artist_credit, will tell beets to prefer the artist credit over the artist when autotagging.
* And there are even more new features:
* replaygain: The beet replaygain command now has --force, --write and - -nowrite options.
* A new importer configuration option, incremental_skip_later, lets you avoid recording skipped directories to the list of \"processed\" directories in incremental mode. This way, you can revisit them later with another import.
* fetchart: The configuration options now support finer-grained control via the sources option. You can now specify the search order for different matching strategies within different backends.
* web: A new cors_supports_credentials configuration option lets in-browser clients communicate with the server even when it is protected by an authorization mechanism (a proxy with HTTP authentication enabled, for example).
* A new sonosupdate plugin automatically notifies Sonos controllers to update the music library when the beets library changes.
* discogs: The plugin now stores master release IDs into mb_releasegroupid. It also \"simulates\" track IDs using the release ID and the track list position.
* discogs: Fetch the original year from master releases.
* Lots of bug fixes.
* The full changelog can be read at https://github.com/beetbox/beets/blob/master/docs/changelog.rst
* Thu Jan 04 2018 alarrosaAATTsuse.com- Update to 1.4.6:
* The highlight of this release is \"album merging,\" an often requested option in the importer to add new tracks to an existing album you already have in your library. This way, you no longer need to resort to removing the partial album from your library, combining the files manually, and importing again.
* Here are the larger new features in this release:
* When the importer finds duplicate albums, you can now merge all the tracks—old and new—together and try importing them as a single, combined album.
* lyrics: The plugin can now produce reStructuredText files for beautiful, readable books of lyrics.
* A new from_scratch configuration option makes the importer remove old metadata before applying new metadata. This new feature complements the zero and scrub plugins but is slightly different: beets clears out all the old tags it knows about and only keeps the new data it gets from the remote metadata source.
* There are also somewhat littler, but still great, new features:
* convert: A new no_convert option lets you skip transcoding items matching a query. Instead, the files are just copied as-is.
* fetchart: A new quiet switch that only prints out messages when album art is missing.
* mbcollection: You can configure a custom MusicBrainz collection via the new collection configuration option.
* mbcollection: The collection update command can now remove albums from collections that are longer in the beets library.
* fetchart: The clearart command now asks for confirmation before touching your files.
* mpdstats: The plugin now correctly updates song statistics when MPD switches from a song to a stream and when it plays the same song multiple times consecutively.
* acousticbrainz: The plugin can now be configured to write only a specific list of tags.
* Lots of bug fixes.
* The full changelog can be read at https://github.com/beetbox/beets/blob/master/docs/changelog.rst- Fixed rpm package group
