0.94.0
* added support for remote libraries (i.e connecting to a musikcube app or
daemon running on a different machine) to the terminal client:
- updated nearly all queries against the database in the app to be
asynchronous. this was not necessary before because most local DB queries
are extremely fast; however, when queries are sent over the network that may
not be the case. there are still a small handful of queries made on the UI
thread, but all of the really egregious ones have been fixed.
- added a new `ISerializableQuery` interface that defines how a query can be
serialized and deserialized. all queries now implement this interface.
- defined a new `SendRawQuery` method to `IMetadataProxy` that is used by the
server to send serialized queries to `musikcore`, and then respond with
serialized results to the calling client.
- added `WebSocketClient` that is used to connect to a `musikcube` server and
authenticate. it takes serialized queries from the client and sends them to
the server, then parses responses and unpacks the serialized result.
- added a new `RemoteLibrary` implementation of `ILibrary`. it serializes
queries and sends them to the server via `WebSocketClient`. once complete,
`WebSocketClient` hands the serialized result back to `RemoteLibrary`, which
then deserializes the result into the original query and notifies the caller.
- added `MasterLibrary` in the same vein as `MasterTransport`. it's more a
less a `pimpl` that allows us to switch the selected library under the hood
without a majority of the app knowing or caring.
- revamped the settings screen to allow selecting between local and remote
libraries.
- added a new screen that is displayed when a remote library is disconnected,
and shows some diagnostic information.
- added a new banner on the top of the app when connected to a remote library.
- added buffering states to Stream/Transport/PlaybackService and friends.
- updated the transport window to display buffering status when appropriate.
* fixed a number of bugs in `cursespp` related to nested layout focusing.
* fixed buggy visibility change events in `cursespp::Window` and removed old
hacked-up code that was working around the problems in the app layer.

* found and fixed a handful of bugs in `HttpDataStream` that have been laying
dormant, waiting to be exercised.

registration and unregistration for all messages. there was a small time
window (read: race condition) where it was possible to attempt to dispatch
messages to a destroyed target.

or more as they were being initialized.
* updated copyright date across all source files
* upgraded a number of tools and dependencies:
- migrated to VS2019 for Windows musikcube builds

- upgraded to openssl 1.1.1h
* fixed a bug in the indexer that could prevent custom sources from getting
interrupted correctly.

cause playback to resume.
* moved all shell scripts to their own subdirectory so they don't pollute the
root.
* fixed an old bug in `LocalLibrary` that could cause query result callbacks
to fire twice.
* added the ability to limit the number of simultaneous audio transcoders in
the server.
* added support for Ubuntu Groovy

- added album art to lock screen controls
- added the ability to control streaming disk cache size
* `websocket_remote` plugin:

track has an empty album name.
* fixed a bug in CddaIndexerSource that may cause tracks to linger in the
library longer than they should if the drive letter changed.
* added an http server to the `websocket_remote` plugin to serve audio data.
this completes most work required to support external, thin clients.
metadata can be queried via websocket, audio streamed over http. powered by
libmicrohttpd.
low-level:
* added HttpDataStream! finally! uses libcurl and libressl. audio data can now
be played over http/https!
* performance optimizations to metadata indexing -- drop indexes before a full
resync, then re-add them after.
* playlist tracks are now stored by external ids! this means tracks added from
third party indexer sources can be added to playlists and persisted across
rescans.
* IIndexerSources can be interrupted, and failed sources can have their changes
rolled back.
* upgraded to Windows 10 SDK and VS141 tooling
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0.11.0
user-facing:
* added a new cd playback plugin based on new infrastructure. audio cds will
be detected and added to the library as [audio cd] and can be played like
any other tracks. (note: win32 only for now)
* added the ability to toggle between seek and scrub playback modes
* fixed a couple localized strings
* fixed a bug that could cause the currently selected item in the play queue
to jump around or be incorrect.
low-level:
* added IIndexerSource interface: plugins will be able to implement this
interface to add tracks to the library that will be indexed and
maintained like all other tracks

interface to add/remove/update track info with the main app
* added IIndexerNotifier: interface used to notify the app that it needs
to be re-indexed.
* added "source_id" , "external_id", and "visible" column to the tracks
table, with appropriate indexes.
* fixed a really old indexer bug where the reported number of file scanned
was not accurate. Strange this wasn't noticed before.
* added "SetIndexerNotifier" injection method
* fixed a bug in TrackMetadataQuery -- it was unnecessarily relying upon
the paths table, which was causing query errors when the table was
empty.
* use a cache for local file paths instead of requiring an async round
trip when adding/removing
* remove use of manual "ANALYZE", it was causing strange performance
degradation issues. Instead, move to a set of PRAGMAs that instructs
sqlite to run these optimizations when necessary.
* updated ::GetInt32 and ::GetUint32 return types to be explicit as to play
more nicely with clang -- may as well, we're updating the SDK version
anyway.
* added a simple capabilities model to the playback infrastructure. This
is used to detect whether or not streams can be prefetched. For example,
CDDA cannot because of seek times while playing tracks.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0.10.2
* fixed clang 7.3 compile error (macOS mavericks should work again)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0.10.1
user-facing:
* added the ability to select album name headers in track lists. doing so will
bring up a context menu with the ability to jump to the album or enqueue the
album's tracks for playback. this also had a nice side effect of making
scrolling more fluid!
* added jumping to album/artist/genre to the selected track context menu

of ui components
* fixed some old bugs in Window.cpp that could cause visibility changed
notifications to be raised unnecessarily
* added a custom PDCurses/win32a patch to further reduce CPU load and context
switching while draining the message pump
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0.10.0
* added GeekShadow's fr_FR locale
* fixed a bug in locale loading

range of audio cards. this should also improve crossfade quality
* fixed a very old bug that was sometimes causing delayed redraws or flickering
during layout in complex views
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0.9.3
win32 only release:
* updated `WASAPI` output plugin to disable endpoint routing by default. it
causes a crash in some rare cases that i don't seem to be able to work
around. i see similar crashes in firefox and some other apps that use this
feature.
* updated `DirectSound` output volume adjustment to be as close to the `WASAPI`
`WaveOut` plugins as possible
* changed compiler optimizations to favor fast code, instead of small code,
plus a few other small tweaks to (hopefully) improve performance.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0.9.2
* added an icon to the windows and android builds (not great, but better than
nothing!)
* fixed a bug in the `nomad` (mp3) plugin where sample rate wasn't being

include the null output plugin in macOS and Linux builds.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0.7.2

Player.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0.7.0
a big release with lots of changes to low-level machinery.
user-facing:

cases. this included the first-run dialog! yikes.
low-level:
* added Latency() and Drain() methods to the IOutput interface
* reduced CPU load in some output plugins by being less aggressive about keeping
the output buffers 100% full all the time. 75%+ fill rate should be
sufficient.

reused for other functionality (e.g. crossfading)
* added support for "mix points" in Player -- get a callback as soon as a
specific playback position is hit!
* fixed DirectSoundOut to fall back to software mixing if hardware mixing is
unavailable
* fixed DirectSoundOut to start playback immediately, instead of sometimes
requiring the buffer to be completely full
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0.6.2
* added a DirectSound output plugin for the win32 build.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0.6.1
* replaced mpg123 decoder with MAD. gapless playback for a much wider variety of

during playback. this makes visualization quality better, and should make it
easier to integrate with things like JACK and PulseAudio.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0.4.1
* fixed the transport readout to be more legible
* fixed a crash in NowPlayingLayout when the window became too small
