1.3.18 (in development)
-----------------------

This update adds a new :doc:`/plugins/hook` that lets you integrate beets with
command-line tools and an :doc:`/plugins/export` that can dump data from the
beets database as JSON. You can also automatically translate lyrics using a
machine translation service.

The ``echonest`` plugin has been removed in this version because the API it
used is `shutting down`_. You might want to try the
:doc:`/plugins/acousticbrainz` instead.

.. _shutting down: https://developer.spotify.com/news-stories/2016/03/29/api-improvements-update/

New features:
Some of the larger new features:

* :doc:`/plugins/convert`: A new `album_art_maxwidth` setting lets you resize
album art while copying it.
* :doc:`/plugins/convert`: Make `extension` optional for conversion formats.
By default, the extension is the same as the name of the configured format.
* :doc:`/plugins/importadded`: A new `preserve_write_mtimes` option
lets you preserve mtime of files even when beets updates their metadata.
* The new :doc:`/plugins/hook` lets you execute commands in response to beets
events.
* The new :doc:`/plugins/export` can export data from beets' database as
JSON. Thanks to :user:`GuilhermeHideki`.
* :doc:`/plugins/lyrics`: The plugin can now translate the fetched lyrics to
your native language using the Bing translation API. Thanks to
:user:`Kraymer`.
* :doc:`/plugins/fetchart`: Album art can now be fetched from `fanart.tv`_.

Smaller new things:

* There are two new functions available in templates: ``%first`` and ``%ifdef``.
See :ref:`template-functions`.
* :doc:`/plugins/convert`: A new `album_art_maxwidth` setting lets you resize
album art while copying it.
* :doc:`/plugins/convert`: The `extension` setting is now optional for
conversion formats. By default, the extension is the same as the name of the
configured format.
* :doc:`/plugins/importadded`: A new `preserve_write_mtimes` option
lets you preserve mtime of files even when beets updates their metadata.
* :doc:`/plugins/fetchart`: The `enforce_ratio` option now lets you tolerate
images that are *almost* square but differ slightly from an exact 1:1
aspect ratio.
* :doc:`/plugins/fetchart`: The plugin can now optionally save the artwork's
source in an attribute in the database.
* The new :doc:`/plugins/export` can export data from beets' database as
JSON. Thanks to :user:`GuilhermeHideki`.
* There are two new functions for use in templates: ``%first`` and ``%ifdef``.
See :ref:`template-functions`.
* The :ref:`terminal_encoding` configuration option can now also override the
*input* encoding. (Previously, it only affected the encoding of the standard
*output* stream.)
* The new :doc:`/plugins/hook` lets you execute commands in response to beets
events.
* A new :ref:`ignore_hidden` configuration option lets you ignore files that
your OS marks as invisible.
