| 7 | +This is a short-term release that adds some great new stuff to beets. There's |
| 8 | +support for tracking and calculating musical keys, the ReplayGain plugin was |
| 9 | +expanded to work with more music formats via GStreamer, we can now import |
| 10 | +directly from compressed archives, and the lyrics plugin is more robust. |
| 11 | + |
7 | 12 | One note for upgraders and packagers: this version of beets has a new
|
8 | 13 | dependency in `enum34`_, which is a backport of the new `enum`_ standard
|
9 | 14 | library module.

| -New stuff: |
| 16 | +The major new features are: |
12 | 17 |
|
| 18 | +* Beets can now import `zip`, `tar` and `rar` archives. Just type ``beet |
| 19 | + import music.zip`` to have beets transparently extract the files to import. |
13 | 20 | * :doc:`/plugins/replaygain`: Added support for calculating ReplayGain values
|
14 |
| - with GStreamer as well the mp3gain programs. This enables ReplayGain |
15 |
| - calculation for any audio format. |
| 21 | + with GStreamer as well the mp3gain program. This enables ReplayGain |
| 22 | + calculation for any audio format. Thanks to Yevgeny Bezman. |
16 | 23 | * :doc:`/plugins/lyrics`: Lyrics should now be found for more songs. Searching
|
17 | 24 | is now sensitive to featured artists and parenthesized title suffixes.
|
18 | 25 | When a song has multiple titles, lyrics from all the named songs are now
|
19 | 26 | concatenated. Thanks to Fabrice Laporte and Paul Phillips.
|
20 |
| -* Add support for `initial_key` as field in the library and tag for |
21 |
| - media files. When the user sets this field with ``beet modify |
22 |
| - initial_key=Am`` the media files will reflect this in their tags. The |
23 |
| - :doc:`/plugins/echonest` also sets this field if the data is |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +In particular, a full complement of features for supporting musical keys are |
| 29 | +new in this release: |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +* A new `initial_key` is available in the database and files' tags. You can |
| 32 | + set the field manually using a command like ``beet modify |
| 33 | + initial_key=Am``. |
| 34 | +* The :doc:`/plugins/echonest` sets the `initial_key` field if the data is |
24 | 35 | available.
|
25 |
| -* There is also a new :doc:`/plugins/keyfinder` that runs a command line |
26 |
| - program to get the key from audio data and store it in the |
27 |
| - `initial_key` field. |
28 |
| -* Beets can now import `zip`, `tar` and `rar` archives. |
| 36 | +* A new :doc:`/plugins/keyfinder` runs a command-line tool to get the key from |
| 37 | + audio data and store it in the `initial_key` field. |

| -Fixes: |
| 39 | +There are also many bug fixes and little enhancements: |
31 | 40 |
|
32 | 41 | * :doc:`/plugins/echonest`: Truncate files larger than 50MB before uploading for
|
33 | 42 | analysis.
