Think I might undo this change — lots of people hate it:

"Making Unplayed areas exclude played episodes; formerly, ‘unplayed’ really meant ‘not deleted’”

This has confused people since 1.0 because “Unplayed” could include played episodes if you didn't use auto-delete.

I decided to finally fix the problem by making the behavior fit the labels — but a better solution may be to revert to the previous behavior and considering changing the labels to be more descriptive.
