Removed

• Remove SCROBBLE_SOURCE_* and SCROBBLE_MODE_* (#502) @scy

Added

• Add chosen_by_user parameter to scrobble & scrobble_many (#501) @scy

  This parameter is used to indicate when a scrobble comes from a source that the user doesn't have "direct" control over. In most cases where a user is scrobbling their own music you can safely ignore this parameter. However, if the user is listening to music that is effectively chosen by someone other than themselves (e.g. from a Last.fm radio stream; from some other recommendation service; or radio show put together by a DJ or host) then this value should be set to "false". If there is any ambiguity or doubt then don't send this value.

• Add support for Python 3.15 (#503) @hugovk

Changed

• Test against recorded API responses instead of live Last.fm (#507) @hugovk
• Replace pre-commit with prek (#508) @hugovk

Breaking change

• Restore proxy support (#487) @itisFarzin

  Multiple proxies can be set by passing a dict, for example: {"http://": my_http_proxy, "https://": my_https_proxy}. A single proxy can be set by passing a str. This is now always saved as a dict in network.proxy for both cases, whereas before it could be either str or dict. This could be a breaking change if you are always expecting a str.
