Don't hold your breath that this will be the answer to a maiden's prayer. It does include lots of bug fixes, refactoring, and even a few new features, for example a Spotify plugin (which I haven't explored yet).
The Tidal plugin is working fine.
The Qobuz plugin however is effectively dead, not because of any versioning issue of upmpdcli but because of Qobuz's actions. Right from the home page of JFD's upmpdcli website is this news from last fall:

Qobuz access was revoked: If you were using Qobuz and it's not working any more, don't pull your hair, the Qobuz plugin stopped working (either through the Media Server or with OHCredentials). Qobuz revoked the app_id, and also deleted the API documentation on Github. If you are a hardware integrator/manufacturer using upmpdcli to support Qobuz access (I know there are some), I made a modification to the Qobuz plugin so that the app_id/secret can be stored externally instead of being embedded in the source. This means that, if you can convince Qobuz to supply you with the appropriate pair, you can easily restore function, without having to support a modified module. Of course, this supposes that the API itself does not change.
I won't repeat all the other words Francois has to say about the situation, you can read his docs for yourself.
It isn't clear to me what will happen to the Google Music plugin with time either, especially with Google consistently saying it will retire Google Music in favor of YouTube Music.

Many thanks @TheOldPresbyope for pushing for a revised build of upmpdcli to feature in Moode.
As regards to Qobuz, I know there’s been a whole raft of posts connected to the forced demise of its open source plugin, but what I’m unsure about is whether upmpdcli can still provide a connection to Qobuz via Kazoo given that Linn has integrated Qobuz and indeed Tidal into this control point app. Incidentally, from what I gather both these streaming services are also integrated into Lumin but last I heard these aren’t accessible if using this control point app with even recent versions of upmpdcli
