Is there a buried lede here? What’s noteworthy about an RC of a minor version release?
This is the database rework that’s been in progress for a while to remove all the bad inherited database code from when the forked Emby. No more SQL statements in code or plugins, any DB access now goes through the core library. There are a few blog posts in their website with more details.

any DB access now goes through the core library

Out of curiosity, this is better because of encapsulation? Protection from bad plugins?

Also for internal use. The original emby source used not within the code base standardized database access.

Basically changes to the database were not possible since finding references across the code base which part uses which values was impossible.

Ew. Yeah, good changes coming in that case. Glad they ironed that out!
