IMPROVED: Cadence is faster to launch and lighter on your library, with less repeated work while browsing. FIXED: Your favorites could be wiped. If the server returned an error, Cadence read it as an empty favorites list and saved it over the real one. FIXED: Large libraries could be incomplete. A single failed page while loading your albums ended the process early, and the incomplete library was saved as though it were the whole thing. FIXED: One unreadable album, artist or song no longer empties the entire list it arrived in. FIXED: Downloaded music could stop being available offline.

FIXED: Searches containing symbols such as "&" or "+" (like "rock & roll") now return the correct results. FIXED: Downloaded music now respects your storage limit instead of growing without bound.
