10.13.0
This release is pretty packed! We did a lot of testing for stability and included some things that took a while to develop, which has resulted in a massive changelog as other changes trickled in in the meantime.
We have made improvements to filename parsing and metadata lookups, support for music, UPnP searching, improved support for Samsung TVs, and a lot of stability and performance improvements.
We also pre-released it last week on Patreon for subscribers, so if you want to support us and get access to releases and preview versions early, please sign up.
Thanks to everyone who helped put this together, particularly ik666 who has been contributing a lot lately!
