GMMP 1.2.6 released + info about the next major release

1.2.6 is now live on google play.  It is mostly bug fixes and a few minor changes.  I am really happy with the stability of 1.2.x now so I will begin work on 1.3.

-replaygain support
-dsp limiter
-notification playback controls (3.0+ only)
-widgets packaged as a separate download (for users who moved gmmp to the sdcard)
-1 or 2 more holo based skins
-advanced now playing metadata customization

A beta will be posted before the official release just like I did with 1.1 and 1.2

1.2.6 Changelog:
-Volume buttons will now control media volume when music is paused and GMMP is open (screen must be on)
-Added option to replace total time with time remaining in now playing (Preferences -> Now Playing -> Show Time Remaining)
-Split artist search into artist and albumartist search (Album Artist search category added)
-Album artist and song search now on by default
-Other search related improvements
-Changed default playback priority to Above Average (this might help reduce skipping in some cases)
-Changed 'Obey Audiofocus Requests' to be enabled by default
-The lockscreen player can now be unlocked by pressing the trackball
-Action bar is now hidden for the lockscreen on 3.0+
-Artist, album, and genre views now maintain their state when changing orientation
-Updated translations
-Fixed crash when selecting album art on ICS
-Fixed issue where the lockscreen would stay on top when launching GMMP from the recent app list
-Fixed bug in 3.0+ where the search results are not selectable after returning to the search view

3.4.0

Plans for 3.4 changed a bit when google announced they will be hiding apps on newer versions of android if they dont target the newer sdks.  GMMP always tries to target one of the more recent versions of android, but the unlocker has no need for that since its essentially just a license key.  As of May 1st the unlocker will be hidden on newer versions of android to those who have not already purchased.  Because of this, the focus of 3.4 was to get in app purchases working to allow users to buy the full version after May 1st.  There is a new 'Purchase' section in the settings where the unlocker can now be purchased. One other change in 3.4 is the support for the Android 13+ media controls.  They changed around how to customize them, so that is reflected in a new 'Media Controls' section of the settings. The language can also be changed for just GMMP via the system settings The changelog itself is fairly small but I did a large update of all the libraries / dependencies t
