New: in-app theme selector (follow system style, force light, force dark).

Refactor: queuing is now done in the background to avoid freezing UI when adding lots of tracks.

Refactor: incremental queue updates are now fully asynchronous and paged to avoid blocking UI and reduce stress on MPD server.

Fix: various folder view bugs.

Fix: albums of the same name getting merged together.

New: Option to re-fetch metadata. Will also re-attempt artist avatar fetching.

Fix: Consume mode resetting on new window opens.

Fix: Sorting now prefers *sort tags before normal ones.

New: Global background task counter and spinner.

Refactor: Lazy init for all views, should markedly improve startup smoothness.

Refactor: Switched to libsecret to manage MPD password. Will require reentering your password if you use one.

Refactor: MPRIS play command now starts playing again from the last-played track in the queue while in the stopped state.

Fix: Crash when newlines are included as artist tag delimiters and there are UTF-8 characters.

New: Recent View. Shows recently-played albums, artists and songs. History can be paused and cleared.

New: Animated marquees for long album titles in grid views. Exact behaviour is customisable (wrap/ellipsise/marquee-scroll on hover).

New: "Queue Next" option that inserts selected songs after the current song in the queue. Currently available in the album content view only.

New: Artist names in the album content view are now clickable (opens the corresponding artist content view).

Fix: Crash after deleting cached images from .cache/euphonica

Refactor: Updated to build against GTK 4.18 and LibAdwaita 1.7+

Fix: crash on systems without XDG Background support.

Fix: crash on duplicate metadata tags.

Fix: crash after exiting artist content page.

New: Embedded track arts are now globally supported as fallback in case no cover image file is present in the folder. This also allows tracks in certain albums to have their unique album arts shown.

New: Double-clicking on a song in an album content page will now replace the current queue with it.

Fix: MPRIS client remaining active even when disabled (#73).

Fix: GTK warnings related to QueueRows. Widgets are now disposed of more properly too.

If multiple lyrics entries are available for a song, the one whose stated duration is closest to your local file will be used. You may also turn lyrics fetching off in the Integrations menu as usual.

Fix: Sidebar not updating itself to highlighting Queue View when the "jump to pane" button (only visible in mini-bar mode) is clicked.

New: Background mode. Euphonica can now run in the background, allowing it to serve as your MPRIS daemon. Visualisation backends and album art blur thread will be shut down upon entering background mode, reducing CPU usage to pretty much zero. Polling will still be performed to support shell applets with seekbars (GNOME does with an extension).

New: Command-line argument to start Euphonica minimised (--minimized). This allows setting up autostart scripts.

Fix: Playback controls are now properly centered instead of being forced to the right by long titles (which will scroll like a marquee instead).

Fix: Album info and artist bio spinners not going away in case no metadata could be found.

New: Cache size report and open button in Library preferences tab.

Fix: Bottom bar playback control buttons not centering themselves vertically when seekbar is hidden.

Fix: child client getting clogged on cold-starts by one-time tasks such as album art downloading.

From this version onwards we are targeting a v1.0 release, hence the version bump.

This version introduces support for matching app accent colour to currently-playing song's album art, and a big revamp of the offline cache mechanism.

• New: album rating system using myMPD-compatible tag schema (requires MPD 0.24+).
• New: Optional capabilities UI with instructions on how to enable them for your MPD instance.
• New: UI with album-art-matching accent colour support, wider seekbar, and live bitrate readout.
• New: Setting custom images as album arts and artist avatars are now supported.
• Refactor: Replaced PoloDB with plain ol' SQLite - easier to inspect, composite indices are supported, etc. Actual metadata docs are still BSON blobs, but since they're only BSON when stored, BSON is now much less prevalent in our cache code. Also, I took this chance to significantly cut down on string clones.
• Refactor: Replaced murmur2 hashing of URIs with simple base64url encoding. This also does what we need (avoiding special chars) but never collides and is completely reversible.
• Refactor: Added loading spinners to artist bio, artist discography/songs subviews, album wiki and album content.
• Fix: Fixed spectrum equaliser "lifting off" from the window's bottom edge when smooth curves drawing (default) is enabled.

PipeWire visualiser backend, fully adaptive UI and initial Flatpak release.

• New: Visualiser can now read from the current PipeWire audio stream (only way to visualisation inside Flatpak)
• Refactor: UI rearrangements at smaller window sizes down to 360x640 for smartphone compatibility
• Refactor: Visualiser backend has been refactored to allow hot-switching between data sources.
• Fix: Slowdowns/stuttering upon startup or large changes to the queue.
• Fix: Long wait times in content views after cold startup in extreme cases. We now have a second high-priority background task queue for user-initiated background tasks.
• Fix: Multiple download attempts sent to MPD for the same album art.

First public tagged release for Euphonica.

• New: customisable spectrum visualiser (reads from MPD FIFO output)
• Refactor: preferences panel reorganisation
• Fix: crash when connecting without a prior password entry in keyring
