• ID3v2 : Embedded pictures now appear as icons when viewing the file in Windows explorer
• MP4/M4A : Artist field is now saved with the proper field code and is readable by 3rd part software
• MP4/M4A : Prevents file corruption when writing data in certains scenarios
• MP4/M4A : It is now possible to create metadata from scratch when the file does not have any meta atom
• MP4/M4A : It is now possible to create Nero chapters from scratch when the file does not have any chpl atom

! Breaking changes to interface !

• Obsolete MetaDataIO.PictureStreamHandler field has been completely removed
• Obsolete Track.Rating field has been completely removed
• Obsolete IPlaylistReader and PlaylistReaderFactory classes have been completely removed
• PictureInfo constructors do not take any ImageFormat argument anymore. Use new PictureInfo.fromBinaryData static constructor to directly load binary data and auto-detect image format

For instance, instead of doing this

PictureInfo newPicture = new PictureInfo(Commons.ImageFormat.Gif, PictureInfo.PIC_TYPE.CD);
newPicture.PictureData = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes("E:/temp/_Images/pic1.gif");

you should now do this

byte[] data = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes("E:/temp/_Images/pic1.gif");
PictureInfo newPicture = PictureInfo.fromBinaryData(data, PictureInfo.PIC_TYPE.CD);
