What's new in 1.9.2-community

Lotus 1.9.2 ReplayGain: tracks can play at a consistent loudness. Turn it on in Settings → Playback and pick Track or Album. Lotus reads the ReplayGain tags in your FLAC, MP3 and M4A files and the R128 tags in Opus files, and uses peak tags so turning a track up doesn't clip. Fixed: since 1.5.9, Shuffle and Smart shuffle both ignored the order Lotus worked out and played the same default shuffle. Smart shuffle now works as described.
