Changes since 1.1.13:
- Fix MPRIS dbus name to use appid (Flathub compliance)
- Fix SQLite WAL mode for all connections (UI lag fix)
- Add volume +/- step buttons in player bar
- Add playlist search in sidebar with folder auto-expand
- New playlist collage layout (3+1 grid)
On Linux/Wayland, windows created with decorations:false cannot
reliably switch to decorations:true at runtime - the WM buttons
render but don't function until a maximize/restore cycle.
Fix by removing the declarative window from tauri.conf.json and
creating it programmatically in the setup hook with the correct
decorations value from the start. The WM sees the right state when
the window is first mapped, so buttons work immediately.
Also fixes the empty frame flash from visible:false + early show().
Move decoration setting to Rust side so the WM sees correct state when
the window is first mapped. Window starts hidden (visible: false in
tauri.conf.json), Rust reads the persisted setting from SQLite, applies
decorations, then shows the window.
Frontend now persists the setting via Tauri invoke (in addition to
localStorage) so Rust can read it at startup. Inline script in app.html
prevents flash of custom title bar before Svelte mounts.
Provides instructions and a UI section to guide users on granting filesystem access and network sharing permissions to the Flatpak version of the app.
Removes redundant home directory permission in tauri config.
Set GTK_APPLICATION_ID for proper WM_CLASS and add desktop template
with StartupWMClass for correct process identification on Linux.
Also add window label for Tauri window configuration.
- Fix asset protocol scope for thumbnails in tauri.conf.json
- Homologate artist view controls to match album controls pattern
- Make artist grouping optional with dropdown (Off, A-Z)
- Change grid/list to single toggle button for artists
- Allow 3 lines for artist names in grid view
- Fix album card width to prevent title overflow
- Add throttling to artist image fetch to avoid rate limiting

- Enhance metainfo.xml with detailed feature list and links
- Configure AppImage bundle settings in tauri.conf.json
- Update workflows to generate improved .desktop files
AppImage now includes embedded icon via Tauri icon configuration.
App will now appear in Multimedia category with proper description in all Linux app launchers.
- Update version to 1.1.6-rc for release candidate testing
- Add Linux ARM64/aarch64 build workflow
- Uses ubuntu-24.04-arm GitHub runner (free for public repos)
- Builds .deb, .rpm, .AppImage, and AUR tarball for ARM64
- Workflow isolated with continue-on-error to not block x86_64 builds
Changes:
- Renamed Flatpak manifest, desktop file, and AppStream metainfo
- Updated App ID in all metadata files
- Fixed MPRIS name: qbz_nix → qbz
- Added NAS support permissions: /mnt, /media, /run/media
- Updated CI workflow to use new filenames
- Updated tauri.conf.json bundle identifier
BREAKING CHANGE: Users will need to migrate data from old App ID directories
Data migration will be implemented in next commit
ALSA Backend Fallback:
- enumerate_via_aplay() - Preferred method with real hardware descriptions
- enumerate_via_cpal() - Fallback without descriptions (frontend will translate)
- enumerate_alsa_devices() tries aplay first, falls back to CPAL on failure
- Warning log suggests installing alsa-utils if aplay fails
Edge Case Handled:
- System has ALSA installed but not alsa-utils package
- CPAL detects ALSA host → AlsaBackend available
- aplay -L command fails → fallback to CPAL enumeration
- User sees translated names instead of real hardware descriptions
- App still works, just with less friendly device names
Package Dependencies:
- Added alsa-utils as "Recommends" for .deb packages (Debian/Ubuntu)
- Added alsa-utils as "Recommends" for .rpm packages (Fedora/RHEL)
- "Recommends" = installs by default but not required (apt/dnf behavior)
- If user explicitly removes alsa-utils, app falls back gracefully
In practice alsa-utils is almost always installed with ALSA, but this
ensures we handle the edge case properly.
