# QBZ 1.1.10 Release Highlights

## Fixes

- **Search UI freeze**: Resolved complete interface freezing during search operations by implementing proper async handling and mutex lock management
- **EGL crashes on Wayland**: Fixed WebKitGTK crashes when running AppImage on Wayland compositors through proper X11 backend forcing
- **Virtual machine rendering**: Auto-detected VMs and forced software rendering to prevent crashes in virtualized environments
- **Large playlist performance**: Eliminated UI freezes when loading playlists with thousands of tracks
- **Lyrics reliability**: Added LRCLIB retry on network errors and fallback to lyrics.ovh when primary source fails
- **Playlist duplicate warnings**: Added confirmation dialog when adding duplicate tracks to playlists (contribution by @vorce)

## Performance

- **Playlist loading**: Progressive two-phase loading (metadata first, track details in batches) reduces initial load time from seconds to milliseconds
- **Large playlists**: Virtualization renders only visible tracks (~20 in DOM) instead of all 2000+, preventing UI freezes
- **Home view**: SWR caching with stale-while-revalidate eliminates loading delay when returning to home; consolidated 6 API calls into 1
- **Sidebar playlists**: Virtualized playlist list prevents UI freeze when library contains many playlists
- **Favorites view**: Virtualized artist/album grids and lists for smooth scrolling with large libraries
- **Search results**: Inline virtualization prevents UI freeze when displaying many search results
- **Playlist import**: Concurrent track matching with progress reporting for faster imports
- **API client**: Replaced Mutex with RwLock for improved concurrent read performance
