What's new in this version:

Built-in UPnP media renderer, both client (play to another device) and server (be controlled by another device):
- Other foobar2000 instances on your local network, with UPnP remote control feature active, will be listed as output devices
- foobar2000-to-foobar2000 playback shows tags with album covers on the other end, using Ogg FLAC as stream container

Media Library improvements, most notably:
- Can natively index FTP/WebDAV/SMB network shares
- Improved response to enabling/disabling/installing/uninstalling decoders - only reloads info from affected music files

Codecs, most notably:
- FFmpeg updated to 8.0, added native support for xHE-AAC decoding
- Rewritten Ogg FLAC tag handling, properly implemented embedded album art
- Fixed ReplayGain tags not being saved in multichapter Ogg/Opus files

Portable install improvements:
- Changed the way relative paths are handled, so cached tags are no longer forgotten after relaunching from a different path
- Made possible so specify no-cover pics as relative path to install location

Converter:
- Enabled RF64 writing
- Fixed Converter failing to function until foobar2000 restart after removal of %TEMP%\foo_converter

Other:
- Added preferences page for network share credentials so you don't have to place them in URLs anymore
- Made editing DSP settings momentarily lower output latency to make DSPs appear more responsive
- Fixed Properties 'rewrite tags' not working if nothing has been edited
- Installer is now hi-DPI friendly
- Made system file dialogs invoked out-of-process, to avoid stability issues
- See release notes for full list of changes
