5.0 highlights
---------------
- Add Org-style "TAB" binding to cycle through the different levels of expansions.
- Bind emms-browser-move-up-level to "^".
- Make "RET" (emms-add-tracks) add all tracks in region or with numeric argument
that many tracks.
- Supersede emms-browser-delete-files with emms-browser-remove-tracks to
remove tracks from browser without deleting files. Use prefix argument to
get the old behaviour. Regions and numeric argument are supported.
- Add emms-cache-reset.
- Use the "album artist" instead of the "artist" browser node by default.
- Bug fix: emms-volume-pulse multi-digit volume numbers.
- Bug fix: emms-smart-browse "cascading" from a browser search.
- Bug fix: fix fallback thumbnail filter.
- Add mpv backend support.
- Speed up info processing.
- Add Opus info support via emms-info-opusinfo.el.
- Code modernizations thanks to Pierre Neidhardt.
- Tagging mp3 files v2.x files now works via mid3v2.
- Add dynamic thumbnail caching.
- Improve emms-metaplaylist-mode.

Thank you to everyone who tested, reported and patched.
