Possibly improved collaboration with MusicBrainz.

MUSICBRAINZ_ALBUMTYPE, and ORIGYEAR.
New features and noteworthy changes:
Select Similar Files and Select Next Similar Files
I originally designed this function to select files belonging to the same album, but realised it could be expanded to support other fields as well. The new feature, available via Edit → Select similar files, allows you to select files similar to the currently selected one based on the active sort criteria.
For example, if your File List is sorted by Album Name and you want to quickly select all files from the current album, simply choose this menu item or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+G for faster access.
You can also select the next group of similar files, those that differ from the currently selected file according to the active sort criteria, via Edit → Select next similar files or the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+G.
Auto-Completion of Custom List Values
Just a quick recap: Custom List Values can be configured per field and are always available as entries in the Tag Panel’s drop-down lists. This helps maintain consistency, for example, by defining a list of composer names, countries, or languages.
What’s new is that these values are now also available for auto-completion when editing in the File List or in the Extended Tags dialog. And this also applies for the Genre field!
Importing Composer and Mix Artist from Discogs
The Discogs Tag Sources are now importing the COMPOSER from the extra artist roles Composed-By, Music-By, Songwriter, and Written-By and variants thereof. The extra artist role Remix is used to import MIXARTIST.
Bugfixes and Internal Changes
As usual, this new version also fixes bugs and comes with various other changes and improvements. So I recommend everyone to update — especially if something doesn’t work as expected.
