Version 13.2.1 - iCloud sync no longer fails on very large libraries, and the alert after a manual refresh explains any errors in plain words. - Playlists no longer show episodes in a wrong order that differs from one device to another. - The listening position could stop being saved after an audio output change or an interruption; saving no longer stops. - Manage Storage now counts partial downloads and uncategorized data, so the totals add up. - If rebuilding the library fails, it now stops and shows the error instead of leaving the library half built. - The unsaved-changes confirmation was missing from some settings screens; it now always appears. - On iPad and Mac, the empty player pane shows a placeholder instead of staying blank.
