v1.1.0 CHANGELOG

This release has been in the works for quite some time and introduces some of the most anticipated features since the launch of the Web UI. Explo is gradually evolving from a playlist importer into a complete music discovery and playlist management tool, with significantly improved metadata handling, smarter matching, and better download organization.
