v2.10.0

Highlights

• Faster ReplayGain analysis: the equal-loudness filter now uses ring buffers instead of shifting its history arrays on every sample, cutting memory traffic in the hot loop that dominates -r / -a wall time — output stays bit-identical (#260)
• Faster default apply: mp3rgain -g N now reads and frame-walks each file once instead of twice (headroom check + apply), roughly halving I/O on large batches (#261)
• Faster tag-only updates: APE tag rewrites touch only the file tail instead of rewriting the whole file, and album MINMAX writes run in parallel (#259)

Breaking change (library API)

• The 11 analyze_album_* function variants were consolidated into a single analyze_album_with_options entry point plus a thin analyze_album convenience wrapper (#258, closes #250). CLI/GUI behavior is unchanged.
