'sleep' can now appear in the data field of a 'time' shortcut
without being followed by a number, allowing you to stop a
running timer, or to start a new one using the default sleep
timer duration (the duration setting can already be added to
the Shortcuts menu as well).

The database or playlist catalogue can now be set
as the browser that is launched when pressing
ACTION_WPS_BROWSE on the WPS, unless another browser
has more recently been opened.
Previously you'd always have to exit the File Browser
first, after the player had been restarted, which is
annoying for users who prefer the database.
The playlist catalogue has become part of the MRU
browser list, so pressing ACTION_WPS_BROWSE after
selecting a track from a playlist in the playlist
catalogue will now take you back there.
Settings menus have been slightly restructured.
- Eliminated "Set WPS Context Plugin" and "Hotkey" menus
from the General menu
- Added "What's Playing Screen" menu in Settings-General
with option for setting default browser. The "WPS Hotkey"
and "WPS Context Plugin" menu options have been moved to
this menu.
- "File Browser Hotkey" is now part of the File View menu,
which means it is accessible from the browser's context
menu as well.
Overview of resulting menu structure in Settings->General:
What's Playing Screen
Default Browser
WPS Hotkey
Set WPS Context Plugin
File View
(...)
File Browser Hotkey

The directory cache and the database's Load to RAM feature
each result in a much better user experience.
But, when both features are enabled at the same time, it
can take a very long time on older players - easily several
minutes for larger libraries - until all of the database's
dircache references have been updated.
Include a 'Quick' option that causes the database to ignore
dircache references which can *significantly* reduce disk
activity after booting.

EQ settings are actually an array of 3 ints. I added a skin parameter
token that allows specifying which array element to use.
So instead of this now-incorrect syntax:
%St(0,0,-,-,image,eqbar.bmp,vertical,setting,eq band 1 gain)
You would use:
%St(0,0,-,-,image,eqbar.bmp,vertical,soffset,2,setting,eq peak filter 1)
(the 'gain' is the third element in the eq setting array, thus soffset 2)

The "Reload After Saving" setting was added in
g3347 (4f83e66) to solve FS#13287, by allowing
you to bookmark a modified playlist after saving,
without having to manually reload it first.
Since the rewrite of playlist_save in g5192
(90e3571), a modified playlist doesn't have to be
reloaded anymore in order to be bookmarked after
it's been saved, unless it contains queued tracks.
To cover the remaining use cases of the previously
available option, Rockbox will now offer to remove
any queued tracks from a playlist when saving it.

After launch, PictureFlow always goes to the currently playing
album, or to a selected album, if applicable. Which is probably
a useful default, but not always wanted. You can now get back
to the album you were looking at when PictureFlow was last
closed, or when the sorting was last changed.

This lets players that can't spare any keys scroll through
albums without leaving the track listing first, which was
only possible on the M3K before.
Enter mode from Main Menu. While active, the gradient
highlighting an album's selected track will not appear,
and context menu options apply to the whole album
instead of to a single track.
Exit mode by pressing buttons for Select/Back, or by
quitting PictureFlow.
NB: Be sure to enable "Database in RAM" for a good
experience, as the loading time for each album can
become quite annoying otherwise.

grep thinks it's an invalid escape sequence.

The perceived loudness change of a change in volume depends
on the listening volume: at high volumes a 1 dB increment is
noticeable, but at low volumes a larger increment is needed
to get a comparable change in loudness.
Perceptual volume adjustment accounts for this fact, and
divides the hardware volume range into a number of steps.
Each step changes the dB volume by a variable amount, with
most of the steps concentrated at higher volumes. This
makes it possible to sweep over the entire hardware volume
range quickly, without losing the ability to finely adjust
the volume at normal listening levels.
Use "Volume Adjustment Mode" in the system settings menu
to select perceptual volume mode. The number of steps used
is controlled by "Number of Volume Steps". (Number of steps
has no effect in direct adjustment mode.)
It's still possible to set a specific dB volume level from
the sound settings menu when perceptual volume is enabled,
and perceptual volume does not affect the volume displayed
by themes.

Increase the default limit to 5000 files for targets with at
least 8 MiB of RAM (the vast majority). The upper limit of the
setting is now 40,000 or 100,000 if you have at least 8 MiB or
16 MiB of RAM, respectively.
Update the manual to mention that this setting can also impact
the database browser. "Using the Database" already mentions it,
but it's useful to say so in the setting's description.

These settings have a warning that increasing them will shorten the
audio buffer. This is not very useful, because users might not know
what "shortening the music buffer" implies.
Since the size of the audio buffer is probably irrelevant for flash
based storage, display the warning only for HDD-based targets, and
explain what the drawbacks may be if the settings are set too high.

Add a new setting,
database path: /path/to/folder
to change where the database files are stored, which allows it to
be shared by multiple builds when using multiboot. This avoids the
need to maintain a separate copy of the database for each build.
This setting can only be set from the config file; it has no menu
option yet (due to lack of a GUI to pick the directory).
