+ Teika Kazura for the notification and suggested documentation. This
+ closes Issue 50: https://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=50
+ * Work by Matthias Andree <matthias.andree@gmx.de> to address the issue
+ where abcde fails with accented characters from CD-TEXT. The issue and
+ partial fix applied here documented in Issue 53:
+ https://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=53
+ and also in the abcde mailing list:
+ https://lists.einval.com/pipermail/abcde-users/2017-January/000232.html
+ * Allow for embedding of album art downloaded by the getalbumart function.
+ Currently this is available for flac (using metaflac), mp3 (using eyed3),
+ m4a (using AtomicParsley) and WavPack aka wv (using wvtag).
+ This can be invoked in 3 ways:
+
+ 1. Use the commandline '-B' option (this will also call getalbumart)
+ 2. Use the commandline '-a embedalbumart' option to add to list of actions
+ 3. Use 'embedalbumart' in the 'ACTIONS' list in ~/.abcde.conf
+
+ Still needs more development but it is perfectly usable at the moment!
+ * Use md5 rather than md5sum under macOS. Thanks to JCount for the bug
+ report and also the fix. This solves Issue 59:
+ https://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=59
+ * Support added for encoding with Audio Interchange File Format (AIFF).
+ Thanks to Massimo Villa for the feature request. FFmpeg is required
+ for the encoding, the container and suffix are 'aiff'.
+ * Allow selection of either cddb or musicbrainz from the command line:
+
+ -Q Select CDDBMETHOD from the command line. Choice is cddb or musicbrainz.
+
+ Command line letters are fast running out but the 'Q' option quite neatly
+ stands for 'Query'!
+ * Allow for embedding with do_embedalbumart() for single track encodes when
+ OUTPUTFORMAT and ONETRACKOUTPUTFORMAT are different. Thanks to Ashley Gittins
+ for the bug report. This closes Issue 63:
+ https://abcde.einval.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=63
+ * Experimental support for embedding albumart with ogg files. The slightly
+ tortuous technique drawn from 2 sources:
+
+ 1. https://github.com/biapy/howto.biapy.com/blob/master/various/mussync-tools
+ 2. https://github.com/acabal/scripts/blob/master/ogg-cover-art
+
+ Testing is strongly encouraged, perhaps the simplest way to test is with:
+
+ abcde -o ogg -B
+
+ Or the appropriate settings in an ~/.abcde.conf file.
+ * Massive rework of CD lookup code so support multiple sources
+ better. Thanks to Gabriel Rosenkoetter for his initial idea in this
+ area, and to Tomasz Goliński on irc for initial inspiration on how
+ this should work better.
+ There are now 3 different options for CD lookup: cddb, musicbrainz and
+ cdtext. They can all be listed in a comma-separated list for
+ CDDBMETHOD and the code will now call all of them in the sequence
+ listed. All the results will be combined into one list at the end for
+ the user to select, just like would have previously worked for one
+ source only. Closes Issue 42:

+ Also added a specific dependency on version 1.0.4 or newer, so
