This changeset's key new feature is allowing web browsers to display media player notifications for Pony.fm by implementing the media session API. These notifications display Play/Pause, Previous, and Next controls that control Pony.fm's playback. This also makes Pony.fm controllable by automotive audio systems and other Bluetooth devices that expose their own (often physical) playback controls.
Other improvements in this changeset include:
- Update the automated dev environment setup to work in 2021
- Remove extraneous frontend logging
- Fix to consistently include album data with a track's data
Firefox and Safari mistook the previous track collection download code for a
popup and blocked it, making it difficult to download transcoded-on-demand
collections in those browsers.
* Adopt PSR-2 coding style
The Laravel framework adopts the PSR-2 coding style in version 5.1.
Laravel apps *should* adopt this coding style as well. Read the
[PSR-2 coding style guide][1] for more details and check out [PHPCS][2]
to use as a code formatting tool.

Laravel 5.2 adjusts the `Guard` object used within middleware. In

*Controllers* instead. Review the [HTTP Requests][1] documentation for
more details.
