Next release will come soon, but since there have been some big changes it would be nice to have them tested by more people.
The biggest changes are to the playlist which can now open m3u files, supports adding both local files and urls, can be sorted, cleared and saved.
The other big changes are to the recent files, which has been rewriten to fix a bunch of bugs, see below.

Day 22: He's making a list… (part 1) - Raku Advent Calendar

If there’s anything that Santa and his elves ought to know, it’s how to make a list. After all, they’re reading lists that children send in, and Santa maintains his very famous list. Another thing we know is that Santa and his elves are quite multilingual.
So one day one of the elfs decided that, rather than hand typing out a list of gifts based on the data they received (requiring elves that spoke all the world’s languages), they’d take advantage of the power of Unicode’s CLDR (Common Linguistic Data Repository). This is Unicode’s lesser-known project. As luck would have it, Raku has a module providing access to the data, called Intl::CLDR. One elf decided that he could probably use some of the data in it to automate their list formatting.
