This improvement brings a huge performance improvement to start a random mix of your library. Previously, the only way to do this was to increase the size of a playlist with absurd sizes number. Now it will respect the limitation but will insert random songs from the current view.
Database: Add true random songs in playlist if it is gonna exceed its maximum capacity
More context is available here : https://www.reddit.com/r/rockbox/comments/1ez0mq4/i_developped_true_full_library_shuffle_for/
Also :
- Improved layout in the DB browser
- New default max playlists capacity is now 2000 on old PortalPlayer targets to give a better user experience and not having to wait dozens of seconds while creating a playlist
- "Show insert shuffled" option is now true by default
- Add a new shortcut to play all songs shuffled in the DB browser
- Now the feature is fully optional and enabled only on targets that have more than 2MB of RAM
- Add entries about this feature in the manual to explain it to the users

Enables the use of PictureFlow and the Properties plugin
with parent tables of ALLSUBENTRIES, such as an album
or album artist, instead of individual tracks.

You could only add single files to playlists
from the database browser before. This
enables adding any database selection to
a new or existing playlist.

The database only remembered what you'd selected when
ascending the menu hierarchy again from a lower level.
Now it restores a previous selection going in the other
direction as well, when you enter a new menu, as long
as the selection at the current level hasn't changed.

This enables the ability to allocate (and free) memory dynamically
without fragmentation, through compaction. This means allocations can move
and fragmentation be reduced. Most changes are preparing Rockbox for this,
which many times means adding a move callback which can temporarily disable
movement when the corresponding code is in a critical section.
For now, the audio buffer allocation has a central role, because it's the one
having allocated most. This buffer is able to shrink itself, for which it
needs to stop playback for a very short moment. For this,
audio_buffer_available() returns the size of the audio buffer which can
possibly be used by other allocations because the audio buffer can shrink.
lastfm scrobbling and timestretch can now be toggled at runtime without
requiring a reboot.

Introduce a new .init section for initialisation code, so that it can be copied to an area which is later overwritten before calling. The stack/bss can then overwrite that code, effectively freeing the code size that the initialisation routines need. Gives a few kB ram usage back.
Only implemented for PP and as3525 so far. More targets could be added, as well as more functions.

runtime data fields are filled like any other fields in the mp3entry struct during the call to get_metadata(); HWCODEC still uses the old callback mechanism

(2) Reduced tagnavi memory consumption.
(3) There was a bug that splash screen counter was counting down when
inserting tracks next. But in fact that might be preferred, so always
count down after successful tagcache query.

Increased max items in menu to 64 and improved statusbar title.

work currently only when tagcache is loaded in ram.
