+0.90.0
+
+musikcube:
+* included a new `musikcube-cmd.exe` binary that can be run from a standard
+  command-line session in Windows,  including cmd.exe, PowerShell, Windows
+  Terminal, or ConEmu.
+* added an OpenBSD port (castagnini)
+* added the ability to build as a `snap` package.
+* fixed build issues for platforms with ncurses and tinfo split (tobbez)
+* fixed an issue where percent signs in the transport weren't getting properly
+  escaped (the-eater)
+* fixed an issue where we may not properly detect UTF8 terminals in some cases
+* added true color support for macOS Terminal.app (previously was only
+  supported in iTerm)
+* fixed a handful of directory browsing bugs reported by (pcapiod)
+* fixed a bug where we weren't always properly reporting track metadata in the
+  MPRIS plugin.
+* added a way to add an `audd.io` API key, if you have one, to fetch lyrics
+* updated session data to be stored in its own config file
+* merged upstream PDCurses changes to fix a handful of minor bugs and better
+  support Windows Terminal
+* fixed a couple null pointer dereferences, and a couple instances where we
+  were using variables before they were initialized (detected with valgrind)
+* fixed some weird redraw issues on some platforms with ncurses 6.2
+* fixed some bugs where we weren't always compiling the MPRIS plugin for our
+  binary packages
+
+musikcore:
+* added a very basic C API for interacting with the SDK. see `musikcore_c.h`
+  and the companion project `core_c_demo`.
+* fixed an old bug in the `indexer` that would report an incorrect updated file
+  count.
+* added the ability to build a standalone `musikcore.dll` on Windows that can
+  be used with the new C API for easy integration with other languages or
+  environments.
+* fixed a bug where we may crash when playing 0-length files.
+* fixed an old bug where playback state would get out of sync if the user seeked
+  while paused.
+* cleaned up SDK constants
+
+musikdroid:
+* updated crash report tracking to use Firebase Crashlytics
+* upgraded ExoPlayer
+* upgrade to Android Studio 3.6
+
+server:
+* tweaked the threading model to better support multiple concurrent connections
+* fixed a bug where we may attempt to transcode the same file multiple times
+  simultaneously; now if there's a transcode for a shared resource in progress
+  we'll just wait until the original operation completes
+

+

+  transcoding is still handled by `libmp3lame`.

+  `EOF` error.
+* Fixed #294: we weren't properly querying the local DB for lyrics.
+* Fixed #293: bug parsing disc number in AAC files.

+  `[unknown]` and ensure they are returned at the bottom of their respective
+  lists.

+  fixes.
+* Fixed #296: notification not dismissed on stopping playback on some devices
+  running Android 10
