Replaced the SqueezeBox version of Pandora. When you install this latest update, and you had previously
installed Pandora, then CasaTunes will automatically add an instance of the new Pandora music service.
Now, when you navigate into Pandora for the first time, you will be prompted to enter your Pandora
credentials. If you are using multiple Pandora accounts you will need to add additional Pandora music
service instances similar to how you do this for other CasaTunes music services. The current version
does not allow you to create a new Pandora station, so you will need to use the Pandora App to add one.
Creating stations will be added in a future release. This version supports both free and paid Pandora
accounts.

update, and you had previously installed Tidal, then CasaTunes will automatically add a new instance of
the Airable Tidal music service. When you navigate into Tidal, you will be prompted to authenticate your
Tidal account. If you are using multiple Tidal accounts you will need to add the additional instances
similar to how you do this for other CasaTunes music services.

This version also includes several new radio services (that were originally supported via SqueezeBox),
including: Classical Radio, DI.FM, JAZZRADIO.com, Radio Tunes, ROCKRADIO.com and Zen Radio.
