+# === MultimediaParadise::GUI::UniversalWidgets::TagMp3Files
+#
+# This class, a ruby-gtk widget, was originally written (and finished)
+# in April 2007 - so a really, really long time ago.
+#
+# In November 2020 I decided to fix what was broken and update it to
+# better coding standards. It should now work better than it did at
+# one point in time, many years ago.
+#
+# In January 2021 I adapted the code for ruby-gtk3, and rewrote this
+# application (almost) from scratch. The new interface is a bit better
+# than the old ruby-gtk2 variant.
+#
+# In September 2021 the project was re-written and renamed again. Support
+# for ruby-gtk2 was also dropped - it may be re-implemented one day, but
+# for the time being we will focus only on ruby-gtk3. In October 2021
+# the project was visually enhanced a bit and querying the MPEG layer
+# was added as well.
+#
+# In January 2022 the widget was, again, rewritten - this was to fix
+# a weird bug where the application was freezing.
+#
+# Usage example:
