In this release:

   - New munge function: mungecddb
      - this is a pre-processor for CDDB entries to apply local standards,
      such as capitalisation, removing excess spaces, line endings and
      punctuation. See my example configuration for how to use it.
   - Workflow enhancements and fixes:
      - show genre and or year field in the diff, even when empty to
      maintain a standard format
      - do not (re)move the cover art so it remains available for more than
      one output format. The clean action will still delete it.
      - Change CDDB default configuration to gnudb
      - Add line numbers and function names to debug output
      - Add a PERFORMER line for each track in the CUE file. This is
      especially useful for Various Artist discs

and a package for Debian and Ubuntu users:

https://github.com/poddmo/abcde/releases/download/2.12.2/abcde_2.12.2-1_all.deb

My next steps are:

   - test the package on Ubuntu 26.04
   - test automation. I mostly use interactive so I can get the metadata
   perfect up front and be done with it. But I have a mountain of discs I care
   less about and just want to process as fast as possible (stuff that I
   recognise the talent but would rarely listen to. A well rounded music
   collection should include them.) I think this will mostly be about
   reviewing and optimising the cddb and cover art lookups


Thanks to everyone for feedback and input.
