foobar2000 v2.1.5

2.1.5 released on 2024-05-04

*Removed gnudb from default online tagger settings, as gnudb now demands users to input their actual email addresses.

*ReFacets added "last modified" column, fixed playlist interaction bugs.
*Converter: Fail harder if "don't reset DSP between tracks" is on and one of files can't be converted - output past the point of failure wasn't valid anymore anyway.
