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
