23 Dec 2018	3.7.0	The most important new feature is a playlist editor. Playlist items can be added, removed and reordered. Improvements include editors for the formats to convert between tags and file names and drop down lists with available tag values when multiple files are selected. The new file list fixes problems with updates when directories are renamed.
24 Aug 2018	3.6.2	This bugfix release fixes the use of free form MP4 atoms, import from CSV with DOS line endings, the application icon in KDE wayland sessions and other bugs. The generation of file names from tags is improved by supporting conditional text around a value from the tags, which is only inserted when the corresponding value exists.
23 Apr 2018	3.6.1	This bugfix release improves the speed when saving with a lot of unchanged files in the directory. It fixes wrong parsing of the xid atom when using the Mp4v2Metadata plugin, scrolling to the opened file when using a custom sort order in the file list and avoids changing the file name extension when setting file names from the tags.
18 Mar 2018	3.6.0	Ratings can now be edited using stars with configurable mapping between rating values and the number of stars. New options include a maximum length for file names and showing hidden files. Support for MP4 files is improved by handling more atom types.

23 Dec 2016	3.4.4	This bugfix release fixes the import of durations when importing from file or clipboard, and building with Chromaprint 1.4. New features include a portable mode storing the configuration file in the application folder, copying of images to the clipboard and an MPRIS D-Bus interface for the audio player on Linux.
01 Nov 2016	3.4.3	Tagging of WAV files is improved by supporting ID3v2.3.0 tags on WAV files and better interoperability with RIFF INFO tags by configuring the track field to be “ITRK” and the RIFF chunk to use a lowercase “id3 “ name. The latest iTunes tags for classical music are now supported. Bug fixes solve crashes with FLAC files and support for translated names and the 3rd tag in kid3-cli.
24 Aug 2016	3.4.2	This bugfix release fixes issues with copy pasting of tags with multiple frames of the same type (e.g. multiple artists) and deleting frames in kid3-cli. It adapts to changes of the web services used for fetching lyrics. Usability improvements include complex quick access frames like pictures and selection of the file list filter in the settings.
24 Jun 2016	3.4.1	This bugfix release fixes the wrong marking of ID3v2 Date frames as modified and makes it possible to directly add Date frames with ISO date/time values to files which do not yet have an ID3v2.4.0, M4A or Vorbis tag. For the Windows version, issues with incorrect relative paths in playlists, importing from Discogs and temporary files generated by id3lib were fixed.
23 Apr 2016	3.4.0	It is now possible to edit more than two tags, for example ID3v1, ID3v2 and APE tags of MP3 files or ID3v1, ID3v2 and Vorbis tags of FLAC files. Support for RIFF INFO chunks in WAV files has been added. Bug fixes include the editing of synchronized lyrics on Windows.
10 Mar 2016	3.3.2	This bugfix release adapts the import to changes of the Discogs service. It is now possible to set the encoding used for exported files and playlists. Third-party libraries have been fixed to solve random crashes on Windows and file corruptions when writing WAV files.

17 Dec 2015	3.3.1	Package for Android, support GEOB frames in CLI. Improvements for high pixel density displays and handling read-only files.

09 Nov 2014	3.1.2	This bug fix release offers the possibility to change the permissions when trying to save read-only files. It fixes bugs like editing a frame for multiple files which do not all already have such a frame or the use of special characters in M4A files on Windows. The number of open file descriptors is reduced, which should solve problems when working with a huge number of files. The Discogs import has been updated to address the latest restrictions.
24 Aug 2014	3.1.1	This bug fix release fixes incorrect behavior when removing custom frames (COMM, PRIV, TXXX, free form), setting of POPM frames using kid3-cli, import of composer from MusicBrainz and other smaller issues, as well as platform-specific bugs such as kid3-cli output redirection on Windows, support for case-sensitive filesystems on OS X and drag’n’drop on OS X 10.10.
