IMPORTANT NOTE: it was brought to our attention that Windows Defender falsely detects musikcube 0.96.6 binaries as malware. we have no reason to believe this is a real issue, but we recommend users upgrade to 0.96.7 to avoid problems. discussion can be found in the following issue: #436

• fixed some drawing issues with overlays/dialogs with certain versions of ncurses.
• added category-level (e.g. album, artist, etc) durations in browse and search views.
• upgraded the Windows builds to use ffmpeg 4.4, and removed usages of some deprecated APIs in FfmpegDecoder and FfmpegEncoder.
• fixed high cpu usage bug in musikcube-cmd.exe (Windows builds only)
• fixed bugs where .wav files with embedded album art would play loud static for a second or two before the correct audio.
• added the ability to automatically resume playback on startup via new "advanced" setting called ResumePlaybackOnStartup.
• fixed various minor bugs while browsing by directory.
• fixed bug where files with "long" filenames on Windows were not properly supported.
• added de_DE translation (dertuxmalwieder)
• updated default "change sort order" hotkey to ensure it doesn't conflict with some common terminal emulator defaults in UNIX environments.
• removed snap support. the default sandboxing rules were causing more problems than it was worth; even though it was possible to work around them, users were still getting confused.
• added an initial PipeWire output plugin; included by default on Ubuntu 21.04 and Fedora 34
• fixed some build issues where opting out of bundled TagLib didn't work properly.
• updated CMake build scripts to fail fast if required libraries are not found.
• updated error logging to exclude ffmpeg end-of-file warning, it was just polluting things.
• ongoing warning cleanups against more modern compilers.
