### New <b style=color:red>beta</b> release 2.1.7

Some more internal fixes and kludges were applied.

  * The perhaps most interesting addition is support for **Drag'n'drop**

      * Now it's not likely to be used much in reality. But was an important milestone, despite the development tears it incurred.  
      * Streamtuner2 was always meant as data source, not just a self-contained data hog. 
      * DND required a little more cleanup to the internal playlist conversion system. But now really simplifies bookmarking radios to preferred audio players or playlist managers.<br><br>

  * The configuration dialog got a little overhaul for clearness.  
    Channel and feature plugins have separate tabs. 

  * Some more Gtk3 workarounds were applied.

  * The **UbuntuUsers** plugin got bundled per default.

  * Temporary files don't pollute `/tmp` anymore. Instead there's now a `/tmp/streamtuner2/` subdirectory created on startup. And `reuse_m3u` is actually honored now.

  * Jamendo "feeds" are now supported, because the JAMJSON playlist type gets internally converted. Thus the deprecated v2 API isn't used any longer.

  * As further workaround for Python3 on Gtk3 there's now a no-threading mode or `--nt` cmdline option.

  * Some bugfixes:
 
      - In the search module
      - For browser/homepage invocation
      - More cautious partial stream refreshing,
      - Application state restoration
      - And initial startup safeguards.
