Changelog

v0.12.0

Changes

  • Implemented auto-updater (Windows uses bundled 7-Zip DLL; Linux uses system tar).
  • Resources (translations, icons) are now embedded in the executable; only icons for system associations are shipped.
  • Reworked shuffle: playlists are pre-shuffled, preserve forward/back order, and reshuffle after completion or on new playlist.
  • Fixed panic when repeat is off and the next playlist is empty (now skips to next non-empty pklaylist or stops).
  • Fixed loud white noise at the end of WAV files.
  • When switching playlists mid-playback, the previously played track is now visually marked as paused.
  • Added new track properties that's rarely seen but are in ID3/Vorbis specs, such as Subtitle, Rating, Lyricist, Lyrics, Publisher, Remixer, Total Discs, Label, ISRC etc.
  • Major refactor of playlist logic (fewer bugs with tab moves/closes, improved shuffle & column moving, removed “Play” column).
  • Old settings are incompatible, because of refactored logic. Since we're not at v1.0.0 yet, we don't want to introduce some kind of backward compatibility with bad decisions.
  • Multi-row reordering in the track table.
  • Progress label is now clickable and toggles between remaining/duration and elapsed/duration display (saved in settings).
  • Added status bar: track count, total duration, current row, and repeat/end messages.
  • Fixed tooltip and table header retranslation bugs.
  • Fixed KDE context menu permissions issue.
  • Added GNOME directory context menu entry via nautilus-python. It has been vibe-coded and is experimental.
  • Fixed duplicate/incorrect Linux MIME associations.
  • Linux associations now updated via directly editing mimeapps.list and calling update-desktop-database once instead of calling xdg-mime in a loop.
  • Fixed updating all associations on startup, instead of touching only those entries that contain paths to the application executable and icon (in case binary was moved somewhere).
  • Association bitflags layout changed, old values are now mapped to new associations.
  • Fixed PulseAudio monitor cleanup panic, which occurred when closing settings window.
  • Fixed crash when opening folders via shell context menu.
  • Fixed window sometimes not popping up when tray icon is clicked.
  • Fixed incorrect association display in settings window after restart on Linux.
  • Switched seconds and row counters from 16-bit to 32-bit (supports >65,536 seconds/rows).
  • Refactored visualizer to run in a thread instead of shipping and opening a sidecar.
  • Refactored audio worker along with audio streamer classes. Audio worker now uses a dedicated thread, so the main thread doesn't interrupt its work. Audio streamer was refactored from using a messy buffering structure to a fast, cache-friendly SPSC ring buffer with optimal size.
  • Made audio format display not as the played file's extension, but as an actual codec used in the file, e.g. VORBIS for OGG Vorbis.
  • Player now supports up to 255 audio channels and any sample rate.
  • Made spectrum visualizer and projectM visualizer consistent by downsampling audio which sample rate is higher than 48 kHz.
  • Removed automatic playback start when changing the progress slider position.
  • Player will not notify the user if the played file is incompatible. This includes more than 255 channels, for example.
  • Windows: Changed the way Qt is built, and every library in the player is now linked using link-time optimizations.

v0.11.1

Changes

  • Fixed not saving the state of the spectrum visualizer if it has been hidden.
  • Re-added the close button to the spectrum visualizer, if it's detached, and fixed it disappearing until the next restart if it was closed.
  • Fixed setting incorrect FPS in visualizer if it wasn't set explicitly earlier.
  • Added some separators to menus for better readability.
  • Added support for oga, ogv and ogx formats that are containers for Vorbis audio.
  • Fixed incorrect playlist track index after moving tracks or sorting the view by column.
  • Repeat range menu was renamed to Track repeat menu.
  • When using track repeat mode, fixed tracks looping over too soon or skipping some end/start seconds.
  • Changed equalizer preset format to text-based instead of binary-based.
  • Fixed track search input not repositioning itself if dock widget was resized.
  • Added possibility to copy text from metadata tree in dock widget.
  • Fixed resizing play indicator column in playlist trees when retranslating.
  • Fixed not retranslating columns except title, artist and track number in playlist trees when retranslating.

v0.10.0 - Polishing, Linux improvements, Wayland fixes

Changes

Playback Fixes

  • Fixed non-working repeat of a single track.
  • Fixed the situation where a track would continue playing even after playback was stopped, if play button is pressed again.
  • Fixed crashes when switching tracks while having the visualizer window opened.
  • Fixed not opening the track from association because of a logic flow that was introduced after switching to miniaudio library for audio playback.

Playlists

  • Fixed not showing scroll bar in tab bar when there's many playlists opened, and dock widget is minimized.
  • Fixed not filling the created playlist when files are dropped into the player.

Equalizer Updates

  • Added default 18- and 30-band presets for equalizer (these are just stretched versions of 10-band ones).
  • Fixed equalizer corrupting audio when playing audio with too high sample rate and many channels.

Visualizer Updates

  • Fixed peak (spectrum) visualizer for any audio formats.
  • Spectrum visualizer is now available with only either 18 or 30 bands.
  • Added feature to maximize visualizer to fullscreen by pressing F11.
  • Visualizer was rewritten from using Qt6 OpenGL to open a separate GLFW window, which ensures maximum portability and less pain in the ass.

Settings & Configuration

  • Settings were split into sections, and several additions were made:
    • Added a setting to explicitly change color theme.
    • Added ability to change settings/playlists files' location (paths are stored alongside rap executable; after reinstalling, directories need to be located again).
    • Associations for file formats can now be enabled/disabled per format.
    • Added ability to change default playlist columns and their ordering.
    • Added "Default" application style option.
  • Implemented playback devices hot reload.

File & System Integration

  • Fixed check of enabled associations (now based on whether the file/shell associations actually exist in the system).

    • Fixed not opening files in the application if supplied as arguments while the executable is already opened.
    • Fixed not opening for the first time on Linux if the application wasn't closed properly.

Localization

  • Fixed track search input not retranslating when the language is changed.
  • Removed retranslating of some widgets that shouldn't be retranslated.
  • Added retranslating of some widgets that should be retranslated.

Other Updates

  • Starting from v0.10.0, releases will be compiled with -march=sandybridge flag (Intel 3rd Gen with AVX support).
  • Removed blank entries from tray icon menu on Linux platform, which are actually supposed to be sliders. But sliders are not widely supported, so whatever.
  • Fixed system window bar not appearing after maximizing cover window.
  • Implemented skip sections for repeat menu. Now you can enter custom sections to skip.
  • Allowed using theme plugins by linking Qt dynamically.
  • Fixed some dialog window appearing in the center of the screen instead of where they should.

Broken

  • Sliders in tray icon menu don't display on KDE (possibly other DEs).

  • Floating spectrum visualizer, and more spectrum visualizer customization
  • Import/export for visualizer presets
  • Possible integration with last.fm API for music data scraping
