NEW in 3.11.0 - 2026-03-15
==========================
* Memory leak fixes
* Stability fixes
* Fixes to tv series/season extraction from video files
Translations: ca, da, en_GB, pl
Notable changes since 3.10.0:
* Default configuration change, the user home directory will now be indexed
recursively as a whole, instead of XDG folders
* Major change in handling of removable devices. When enabled, removable
devices will get a `.localsearch3` folder with a self-contained database
for the removable device indexed data, instead of being included in the
main database in the user home folder. The setting default remains off.
* The set of dependencies was modernized and sanitized. GExiv2 is now used
for more metadata, libzip is now used for bundled files.
NEW in 3.11.rc - 2026-03-03
===========================
