• Bug fixes

• New: option for removing language articles when sorting lists by name.

  Settings → Performance → Ignore articles when sorting

  It is a comma separated list of articles prefixes to ignore when sorting.

  End with a dot (.) to allow an article without white space after it. Example: for L' use L'.

  

• Bug fixes

• Added: disable the use of playlist length command

  Settings → Performance → Get playlists length

  For playlists with many thousands of tracks, the playlist length command can be very slow to process by MPD. Turn it off if opening a playlist causes timeouts or unresponsive server.

• Added: select album art download chunk size for faster album art download

  Settings → Album art → Download binary chunk size

  The larger the chunk size the faster the download is, but it may result in MPD being less responsive during the download on a resource limited or slow servers.

• Added: option to help debug album art issues

  Settings → Album art → Enable album art debugging

  See: album art troubleshooting

• Added: toggle single line titles from the grid options dialog

  In the grid options dialog, click the selected title option again to toggle single line titles for grid items.

• Bug fixes

• Added: presets saved and restored in backup.
• Added: option in server preferences to ping during idle to detect dead connection to MPD server.

  

• Fixed: playlists not updated in some cases.

• Albums grouping: use sort variants of Artist and AlbumArtist when selected Settings → Tags → Sort tags
• Fixed: albums art failed for older versions of MPD before 0.21.
