• Fix AAC streams playback (#404)
• New button in the application menu for creating new stations
• The GNOME Shell MPRIS applet now displays the station cover
• And of course, a bunch of other improvements / bug fixes!

Other changes:

• Upgraded the gtk-rs stack to 0.8.0
• Gtk.Application and Gtk.ApplicationWindow is now subclassed
