big thanks to everyone who contributed :~)

Highlights

• much better combatibiliy with the subsonic api. including support for track/artist/albums stars/favourites, artist infos, podcast updates, avatars, internet radio stations
• multi-folder support, just like the subsonic api defines. this can be handy for example if you divide your files into audiobooks, or split them by genre, or maybe tagged vs untagged, whatever you like. clients like DSub will allow you to pick a folder that you want to search, view recently added in, etc. see more here
• change the jukebox mode's audio backend to be an mpv daemon. this gives us gapless playback, support for a wider range of file formats, etc. it's also possible to pass custom flags to mpv, meaning you can tweak the decoder settings, or make it output to a named pipe for multi-room audio with snapcast, for example
• much improved scanner codebase, and some performance improvements in places. it can also watch your filesystem for changes and re-scan automatically 👍 see the new config options
• 128kbps versions of the opus transcode profiles. see transcode profiles
• improvements to the listenbrainz and lastfm scrobbling
• just incase you don't have a fancy auto-TLS reverse proxy, gonic can now directly handle TLS connections. see the new config options
• collaboration with the symfonium subsonic client for android to improve compatibility

(see Features and Bug Fixes for a more in-depth look)
