Version 1.3 - 2014-10-20
 * The "About" window now displays the versions of libraries used by Picard

   (which is the version that Microsoft Windows and iTunes both use).
   Note: You may need to re-save your tags once to get them to match in future.
 * A sort tags plugin is now provided as tag data is no longer displayed sorted by default.

   introduced in the May 2013 schema change release, is now written to files.

   for the file browser and "Add files/folder" buttons.

 * Main window is now emitting a "selection_updated" signal, plugin api version bumps to 1.3.0
 * Append system information to user-agent string
 * Compilation tag/variable functionality (for tagging & file naming) has been split into two:
   - %compilation% is now aligned with iTunes, and set only for Various Artists type compilations
   - %_multiartist% variable now indicates whether this release has tracks by multiple artists
     (in order to prepend the artist name to the filename as shown in the default file naming script)
 * autodetect the CD drive on Mac OS X (PICARD-123)
 * Ignore directories and files while indexing when show_hidden_files option is set to False (PICARD-528)
 * Add ignore_regex option which allows one to ignore matching paths, can be set in Options > Advanced (PICARD-528)
 * Added an "artists" multi-value tag to track metadata, based on the one in Jaikoz, which contains the individual
   artist names from the artist credit. Also useful in scripts (joining phrases like 'feat:' are omitted) and plugins.
 * Added "_artists_sort", "_albumartists", "_albumartists_sort" variables for scripts and plugins.
 * Made Picard use the country names also used on the MusicBrainz website (PICARD-205)
 * New setup.py command `get_po_files` (Retrieve po files from transifex)

 * Improve the Other Releases list to prioritise and separate releases which match the correct number of tracks
   and your Options / Metadata / Prefered Releases settings for Country and Format.
 * New %_absolutetracknumber% variable numbering tracks sequentially regardless of disc structure
   (so you can numbers tracks on multi-disc releases without a disc number)
 * Support dropping image directly from Google image results to cover art box
 * Add %_musicbrainz_tracknumber% to hold track # as shown on MusicBrainz release web-page
   e.g. vinyl/cassette style A1, A2, B1, B2

 * New setup.py command `update_constants` (Regenerate countries.py and attributes.py)
 * Made Picard use release groups, medium formats and cover art types also used on the MusicBrainz website
 * Use MusicBrainz Server translations for release groups, medium formats and cover art types
 * Add checkbox to toggle debug at runtime in log/debug view dialog
