macOS:
● Thumbnail labels now update when metadata changes dynamically.
● The audio playback system has been changed from using the deprecated OpenAL to the new CoreAudio framework’s AVAudioPlayer in an effort to aid stability when playing sounds. If you have previously turned off the “Play move to Trash sound” setting because of this instability and you liked hearing an audible confirmation, you may want to try turning it back on.
