Added 2
  • Added sort options (ascending, descending and clear sorting) to the playlist column header context menu
  • Added a test for smart playlist search

  • Fixed a crash on exit caused by device listers being deleted while their own threads were still running
  • Fixed quitting through MPRIS, or asking to quit a second time, skipping the normal shutdown and leaving subsystems to be torn down while still running
