A couple of bugfixes.
Actions sometimes behaved unexpectedly in that they didn't take the currently edited values into account.
The show dupes button now works.
A search was added button to the library window, so that slow searches(like prokyon) don't suck as much.
A bug where strings such as '%artist% - %title%.lower(%__ext%) didn't work as expected, because the last part wasn't matched properly.

Nope, still don't got no console version(next release, definitely).
Anyway, some changes from the last release include:
The abilitiy to search the music libraries(Albeit slowly).
A totally revamped parsing system(though it'll look the same from the users point of view).
Like Mp3tag, Actions are now stored separately instead of in one big file.
Two extra toolbar buttons, "In library" and 'Show Dupes".
If a library is loaded then "In library?" hides all the files that are not in the library.
"Show Dupes" hides all the files in the file-view that doesn't have a duplicate(in the file-view).
For the next release I'll concentrate on supporting the rest of Mutagen's supported formats, fixing bugs and smoothing the user interface(progress when loading a library, faster search, etc.).
Expect some interim updates over the next couple of days and a complete release in about a month(1 April 2009).
5 February 2009
This is basically a bugfix release.
The were far too many to list here, but some of the major ones were unicode related like:
Unicode support in prokyon, amarok and rhythmbox libraries was fixed.
UTF-8 is used for everything.
puddletag's unicode issues were sorted(e.g. If the last folder you visited
contained non-ascii characters, puddletag would give you a big F-U.
Changing a picture using the extended tags dialog now works.
Some other interesting stuff include:
The user interface has changed. This includes the look of the icons have improved (they're still shitty, but still)
If you wanna, you can use the __image tag to show the currently selected file's cover in the Tag Editor (Go to Preferences -> Tag Editor to add it)
Hmmm, most of the other changes have to do with code quality and refactoring, which I doubt you'll wanna hear.
The only thing I have for the next release is more powerful scripting and (maybe not, but probably) a console version.
20 January 2009
Added Music library support for Amarok, Prokyon and Rhythmbox.
Currently, it's kinda sucky, but I'll spend some time on it and fix
it as best I can.
The extended tags dialog now support editing and saving images.
It also acts a bit more like Mp3tag's with options to move to the
next and previous file in the file-view.
The tag editor and filesystem editors have been converted to tool windows
to allow more interface customization.
Multiple tags are now available. I've followed Mp3tag's style of allowing
the user to create multiple tags by using '\\' in the tag editor and
removing multiple tags if the tag was edited in the file view.
Nasty bug that deleted any tags not recognized by puddletag was removed.
Any bugs to do with the extended tags dialog has been fixed(I hope)
I modified much of the loading and saving code to be independent of
PyQt so that users using PyQt 4.4.3 don't get those save and loading errors
anymore.
...Can't remember what else I did, cause I forgot to update the log.
3 December 2008
Interface stuff:
The musicbrainz dialog doesn't freeze anymore.
Added a splash screen for the long loading times at the beginning.
Genres are now available too
2 December 2008
Just two things
Added shortcuts -> Just press Ctrl+W to switch between the file-view, pattern combo and tag combos.
Fixed niggling things like some controls not having accelerators.
