The major changes made from the old version include:
  1. Compliant with licensing agreement
  2. Buffering fixes to keep the pandora server from disconnecting
  3. 4X higher quality audio stream from Pandora (360K with purchased license)
  4. Upgrades to the external pandora interface libraries from pithos
Anyway, that is it in a nutshell.
Higher quality audio would blow my mind if it's true.  But I can't get more than 192kbps bitrate with paid Pandora Premium using 0.9.4a/Kodi 18.  I had expected that because it's the same with other similarly creative 3rd party apps (Not Kodi) like Pianobar and Pandorian.   It's always 128kbps with Free, and 192 kbps with Premium.  It's been my understanding that's the best quality Pandora provide.  Assume you meant 320kbps and not 360kbps, so if there's a way to get 320kbps quality please do tell.  I've checked the cached mp3s and they are 192kbps.  I miss the audio codec info feature from older kodi versions but the cache is enough to tell for sure.  

So if there's any chance of better than 192kbps I'd love to know, but if not, it's great to know this plugin is still being worked on because it works great for me.  Thanks for all your work.
