Version v4.9.0

In our inexorable march towards Plexamp v5.0 (what could it be???), we’re pleased to announce Plexamp v4.9.0 :partying_face:

This release brings a few heavily-requested features (custom artwork upload! new sort and filter criteria!), as well as a bevy of fixes. In particular, this release brings a lot of love to our Android users, with performance improvements across the board.

v4.9.0 features an upgraded Electron for security and performance improvements across Mac, Windows, and Linux. Unfortunately this also means support for older operating systems has been dropped. See the note below regarding compatibility.
