This is the second follow-up release for the v2.1.x branch featuring bugfixes, updates and some new features!

Noticeable API changes:

• http.{post,put}.file has been added to be able to send a file content via HTTP without bloating the memory.
• Many new formats have been added to the taglib metadata resolver. This can change your script's behavior. If you are seeing issues, please report to us. To revert to the old behavior, use this settings:

settings.decoder.file_extensions.taglib.set(["mp3"])

Other than that, this release should bring more stability to your script so go for it. After some testings, as always! 🙂
