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

This option is especially useful for theme creators that want to create themes with lockscreens. When text is scrolling, it is breaking the lockscreen so setting this option to true prevent this. Text will continue to scroll normally in all other contexts.

1) Remaining:
Sometimes, you may only be interested in how
much time is left in a playlist, but don't care
about the progress already made.
The new option will disregard already played tracks,
which can be much faster, depending on your position
in the playlist.
2) Single Mode:
When 'Single Mode' is enabled (and set to something
other than 'Track'), you now have the option to see
the time elapsed and remaining specifically for
that section of the playlist (e.g. the playing album).

* Voice generation script will create standalone .talk clips
* These talk clips will be included in the rockbox .zip file
* All .voice files will be included in the rockbox .zip file
* Added LANGUAGE_NAME for all languages in the nightly builds
This way, any voice pack installed will give you a the langauge
voiced in the browser, and if the voice file fails to load you
will get a natively translated error message.

In verbose mode it will log valid the strings found, otherwise it will
only complain when we encounter a missing string.
Unfortunately a missing string is not inherently a problem, due to
conditional expressions. So all we can do is complain in checkwps
or if wps debugging is turned on.
Meanwhile, this is the first step in actually enumerating the translated
strings used by themes.

The documentation says to not delete things but that dates back to when
we were a lot laxer in what we would accept at runtime.
I want to make things even stricter, and add a checksum or hash of
the string IDs, so that *any* change to the base language invalidates
translation and voice binaries at runtime.

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.

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.

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.

Large embedded album art can cause pauses during
playback or when skipping between tracks, especially
on older devices, but embedded art is currently loaded
even when separately stored smaller image files would be
available.
A workaround is to remove large album art from the
metadata of files.
This now adds a setting to either turn off loading of
album art completely, or to prefer loading the album art
from a separate image file and thus ignore the embedded
versions.
