Full Changelog: https://github.com/eddyizm/tempus/compare/v4.6.0...v4.12.0

note app-tempo* <- The github release with all the android auto/chromecast features

app-degoogled* <- The izzyOnDroid release that goes without any of the google stuff.

As usual, any dev contributions appreciated as I am not actually a java/mobile dev, so my progress is significantly slower than those who do this on the daily.

Big thanks to all the folks who have been contributing. We have a new icon designed but I could use some help if anyone wants to do a PR to implement it.

          @myrmidex @superglue The fork is interesting. An earlier version forgot my navidrome server (and nuked my download cache), which was annoying; however, it’s gained some features that I really like. For example, when an album finishes it starts playing similar songs from other albums/artists. I didn’t think I would like this, but it ended up being pretty great (and it’s configurable if I need to turn it off). Very spotify-ish, but limited to stuff you have on your server.
