Issue description:
New in v13.7.0, as I know for certain this is not what my layouts displayed before updating (though I hadn’t taken screenshots to prove it). In app v13.6.5 the %album% string would include the album version (when available), such that the output would look like:
%album% • %album.version%
In the current update, the %album% string ALWAYS outputs only album name without the version. Is this change intended?

Additional information:
Screenshot 1 shows the output in the library view. This is consistent with how %album% was outputted on the Now Playing screen in app v.13.6.5
Screenshot 2 – verification that the latter portion is tagged in the %album.version% field
Screenshot 3 – Now Playing set to ‘Default’ preset, showing the preconfigured ‘Album’ string option. Note that the “Ver.2” is not displayed.
Further insight: the custom string {success%|album==“TestAlbum”%} returns true and prints “success”. In v13.6.5 that condition would have failed due to the inclusion of the version info. For that version, one would need to use {success%|album.raw==“TestAlbum”%} in order to print “success”. I had assumed that was intended behavior, akin to using %title% vs %cleantitle%
Another minor bug, as users can work around it by simply copying the string formatting I used in my example at the top. I am simply submitting a bug report because I did not see this topic listed in the changelog yet this change WILL require some users to update their custom strings to keep the same information.
Reproduction steps:
Play an album which contains info in both the %album% and %album.version% fields.
View the %album% string via either a custom string or the preconfigured ‘Album’ string option.
