QBZ 1.1.19 Release Highlights

Highlights

  • Audio engine upgraded — vendored rodio/cpal removed; now on upstream rodio 0.22 with ALSA sample rate fallback, gapless on all backends, and smart quality downgrade
  • Booklet viewer — albums with digital booklets get an in-app PDF viewer powered by native MuPDF; includes download button
  • 3 Neon visualizers — Laser, Tunnel, and Comet; all music-reactive with bass/mid/high response. Comet extracts colors from album artwork
  • Artist discovery — MusicBrainz tag-based recommendations with tag-scoped thumbs down and similarity percentages
  • Label Releases redesigned — logo header, sorting, filters, group-by-artist toggle, and search
  • Explicit badges — shown across the entire app

Audio

  • ALSA sample rate fallback when DAC doesn't support requested rate
  • PipeWire suspension before ALSA Direct exclusive access
  • Gapless playback now available on ALSA Direct, defaults to ON
  • Smart quality downgrade with hardware compatibility tooltip

Immersive

  • 3-mode background system (Full/Lite/Off) with auto-degrade on low FPS
  • Per-panel FPS settings for each visualizer
  • Comet visualizer adopts album art palette and fades on silence

Security

Stability

  • Graceful shutdown — no more heap corruption on exit
  • Window size validation and clamping
  • Flatpak tray icon and Snap MPRIS fixes

Bug Fixes
