  • The Lyrion album overview can now be sorted: recently added, artist/year, album, or year/album,
    each ascending or descending. The server sorts wherever it can — it knows the library's sort
    names and files “The Beatles” under B. Two of its limits are worked around: it cannot sort by
    album title at all, so that order is applied locally, and “recently added” only ever returns as
    many albums as the server's own browseagelimit allows, which the status line says out loud
    instead of pretending it is the whole library. Descending is not a server option either and is
    applied to the fetched list.
  • Added a favorites filter to the Lyrion overview and a star badge on every album tile that also
    changes the status. Favorites live on the server, so the change is there immediately and in
    every other Lyrion client.
  • Added a favorites sync: one button in the Lyrion view mirrors the albums marked as favorites
    into a folder of your choosing, and the target folder is the only thing to configure. The files
    come from the server over HTTP, so the library itself is never touched — not even read — and no
    mount or rsync is needed. Only what is missing or has changed is transferred, compared by size
    and modification time, and anything in the folder that is no longer a favorite is removed,
    empty directories along with it.
  • The favorites sync now belongs to the application instead of the Lyrion view, and it says what
    it is doing. The view is rebuilt every time it is opened, so a running sync used to become
    invisible the moment you glanced at the playlist — and the next click started a second run on
    the same folder, with both runs fetching into the same .part file and deleting by the plan each
    had made for itself. The run now survives the view: reopening it shows the running sync, its
    progress and its result. Progress and result have their own line under the status line, so
    re-sorting, filtering or opening an album no longer wipes them, and the result stays readable
    until it is dismissed.
  • Fixed: a sync that had never been cancelled reported “Sync cancelled”. HttpClient reports its
    own timeout as a cancelled operation, and the whole library listing — some 20 MB — went through
    the short timeout meant for library queries. The bulk queries now have their own long timeout,
    and a timeout is told apart from a cancellation and named as such.
  • Fixed: the sync did its planning on the UI thread — reading the details of thousands of files,
    walking the whole target folder and parsing 20 MB of JSON — so the window stood still for the
    duration. It now runs on a background thread.
  • Cancelling the sync is acknowledged straight away instead of leaving the last progress line
    standing, and a cancelled run reports what it had already fetched and removed.
  • Favorite entries with no matching album — renamed, re-tagged or deleted since they were
    bookmarked — can now be taken out of the server's favorites. The button appears on the sync line
    once a run found any, and asks first, listing every entry by name. The music itself is never
    touched.
  • Fixed: “N failed, see log” and the note about unresolvable favorites pointed at a log that is off
    unless the application is started with --debug. Sync failures are now always written.
  • The Lyrion overview now loads the library in one go instead of page by page. The server hands
    over 6500 albums in a fraction of a second, the scrollbar is honest from the start, and sorting
    or filtering no longer has to ask the server again.
  • Fixed: while a Lyrion track was playing, MPRIS sent no cover at all, so Waybar and notifications
    showed none. The artwork of a streamed track is now cached as a file like an embedded cover.
  • Fixed: xesam:url mangled the address of a Lyrion stream into an unusable
    file:///https%3A///… instead of passing the stream URL through.
  • The Lyrion settings no longer show the client-name field. It never had any effect: FerrumPlay
    plays the server's files itself and does not register as a player.
