Picard 1.1 released

Three months after the big release of Picard 1.0, we’ve released version 1.1 today with another good batch of changes.

Before discussing those, let’s say thanks to everyone who has contributed to version 1.1! Wieland Hoffmann (Mineo), Lukáš Lalinský, Frederik S. Olesen (Freso), and Johannes Weißl (weisslj) have all made some notable changes to make this release possible.

Users of the German translation should no longer experience any menu display issues. (Sorry for the annoyance that has caused!) Speaking of languages: the “language” tag now stores the lyrics language instead of the tracklist language.

Windows users should also no longer run into any trouble with drag-and-drop after launching Picard for the first time.
