 * I know there have been several recent updates to the trailer logic in the past
   week, but there are still issues plus there remains a long-standing bug with `
   <itunes:episodeType>`.
   I’ve confirmed all of this is (still) true with the current,
   10.0.7 build of Powerpress.1. Trailer bug: If there is no episode marked as Trailer(
   in `Episode Description > See More Settings > Type > Trailer`), then the most
   recent episode marked as “Full Episode” in the same place becomes set as `<podcast:
   trailer>`.Definitely related is number 2 here, which has been an issue for a 
   LONG time:2. The “full episode” inconsistency bug: The only way to get `<itunes:
   episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType>` to appear in the <item> section for a 
   show’s feed is to set the Type to “Full Episode”. Leaving it at “Full (default)”
   omits ANY `<itunes:episodeType>` tag from appearing for that `<item>`. This is
   a huge issue, of course, because Apple subscriptions matches the RSS feed on 
   the `<itunes:episodeType>` tag along with `<itunes:episode>` and, if it exists,`
   <itunes:season>`. But I can 100% confirm that if `<itunes:episodeType>` is missing,
   then Apple Subscriptions will NOT match and will, instead, post a duplicate episode
   to subscribers’ feeds. Because of that, I have to manually set every episode 
   to Type: Full Episode in order to get that `<itunes:episodeType>` tag to appear
   and, then, because of the first bug I mentioned, PowerPress (now) makes that 
   episode the trailer, too.Hopefully this is enough detail for y’all to replicate
   and resolve, but obviously please feel free to reach out if not. Thanks!

 * Confirming that, at least with some initial (but thorough) tests, both of these
   bugs appear to be solved with 10.0.8. Y’all rock! Thanks!
