Release v3.9.0

The release on F-Droid will follow shortly.
As always, those who want to contribute by reporting problems or crashes can do so using the version of the app marked as debug.

Starting from version 3.9.0, the GitHub version of the app has become the primary, first-class citizen.
It includes full features such as Android Auto and Chromecast support, and it is updatable as it checks GitHub for newer versions.
The version available on F-Droid will continue to exist, but personally I will always prefer the GitHub version for bug fixes and error corrections.
