# 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 🥳

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.
