0.97b release

0.97b has been released today

The major changes are:
1. An upgrade to the miniplayer

A new autohide position slider has been added, direct buttons for searching, menu, restoring. There is also an addition in context menu with options for locating the album of the current track and a "Play Album" which plays the full album that the current track belongs.

2. Quick Search Dialog & Algorithm



It can be started by CTRL+F in the main dialog and by pressing the "Find" button in Mini Player (and by some other way).
The search algorithm has become a little more google like - it breaks the search string in spaces and tries to find ALL the string fragments in album/artist/path/title.
