Back to Windows + QOL Improvements 🪟

V2023.10.0 is here! We've been hard at work this month bringing you a release packed with features and fixes :)

First, this release introduces a brand-new Windows version of the app built on WindowsAppSDK and WinUI 3! We previously stepped away from the Windows platform due to Microsoft's weird MSIX package format and store requirements, however recently the WindowsAppSDK has been extended to support unpackaged apps meaning we can distribute the app with our own installer and setup required dependencies for the app as we need.

In terms of features, this release introduces full support for playlists with relative paths, new tag properties, and a new information dialog for album art. Tagger will also watch a music folder library for changes on disk and prompt the user to reload the folder within the app. Furthermore, we fixed many issues and tweaked the design of some aspects of the app in which you can read all about below!

A special thanks to @kissthermite for bringing most of the changes in this release to our attention :)
