Changes

There is major changes in many interface settings, most settings should be properly migrated, but it’s possible some special cases requires you to configure again some details.
Many default application and now playing styles have been updated. You can still easily modify them to fit your needs. If you never tweaked your interface now if the perfect time to try the new styles.
Player keep paused state option is also applied to now playing cover swipes.
Now playing queue properly updates favorites, ratings, … on external changes.
Application styles export and import now also contain any custom home icon you have configured allowing to share full interface.
Song mood and language smart filters now support all range of text filters.
Updated the template engine to support combined && and ||, negative integers, double values and many more tweaks. If your custom strings relied on previous engine quirks, it is highly possible that you need to update your templates.
Now playing top bar standard subtitle text now displays their associated icon if present. Use custom strings to remove them if necessary.
Hopefully small performance gain in the custom tag parser without regression. Please open issue with tag extraction.
