[Tim Curtis]

Here's the latest draft release notes for upcoming 7.5.0 release.

Highlights:

- NEW: Toggle CoverView on/off from System Config
           For usage scenario where attached display is used only for displaying UI
           Eliminates need to have cursor enabled/visible and attached mouse or to have screen saver timeout set
- UPD: Bump to MPD 0.23.3
       Includes new yes/no option to play silence before stop/pause DSD/DoP
       This helps avoid audio glitches with certain DAC's
- UPD: Bump to librespot 0.3.1
       More efficient dithering for 16 bit audio 
- UPD: Add "Disabled" option to Multiroom Receiver config

            During startup wait for up to timeout seconds for an IP address to be assigned
            Ethernet adapter can still be skipped during startup for WiFi-only configs
            Leaving set at the default of 90 seconds can help avoid AP mode starting after a power outage
