V2023.10.0-beta2

Back to Windows + QOL Improvements 🪟

Beta 2 of V2023.10.0 is here!

Since beta 1, added Disc Number, Disc Total, and Publishing Date fields to tag properties to edit. We also added an information dialog for album art that will show properties such as an image's width, height, and type. An option to limit file name characters to those supported only by Windows was also added to the GNOME app.

We also fixed the issue where adding a file with an absolute path to a playlist with relative paths causes the whole playlist to switch to using absolute paths. We also fixed an issue where file names containing the < character would cause the row to not display.

Besides these user-facing changes, we also reworked the backend to improve file and album art loading making it more efficient and flexible for future feature additions.

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