 # Changelog
 
+## 2.13.0 - 2026-08-31
+
+### Added
+
+- **`--fast`** — skip the expensive per-track metadata: full studio credits, BPM,
+  and the Musixmatch fallback for tracks Deezer has no lyrics for. Tagging is
+  what actually burns Deezer's rate limit (a 14-track album costs ~54 requests to
+  tag against 2 to fetch), and this takes that album to **7 requests — 81% fewer
+  against the quota**. Audio, cover, Deezer lyrics and `.lrc` sidecars are
+  unchanged; you lose credits, BPM and non-Deezer lyrics.
+- **`gerdur-core@^2.16.0`** for the underlying `lyricsFallback` option.

+### Downloading a lot at once (`--fast`)
+
+Tagging, not downloading, is what burns through Deezer's rate limit: a 14-track
+album costs about **54 requests to tag** and 2 to fetch. Most of that is per-track
+— full credits and BPM (`song.getData` + a public lookup each), plus a Musixmatch
+scrape for every track Deezer has no lyrics for, which fails outright on many
+networks.
+
+`--fast` skips exactly those. Same audio, same cover, same Deezer lyrics, same
+`.lrc` sidecars:
+
+```bash
+gerdur --fast -q flac -u https://deezer.com/album/302127
+```
+
+| 14-track album | requests | against Deezer's quota |
+| :--- | ---: | ---: |
+| default | 54 | 36 |
+| `--fast` | **7** | **7** |
+
+You lose full studio credits, BPM, and lyrics for tracks Deezer doesn't carry.
+Worth it when you're pulling a large library and getting rate-limited; leave it
+off for a handful of tracks you care about.
