v0.7.0-beta

Welcome to Astra v0.7.0-beta

Astra v0.7.0-beta is the largest update the project has received so far, and a major expansion of what Astra can be.

This release introduces Parallax, Astra’s new local multi-room audio system, alongside Parallax Receiver and the dedicated Parallax OS for Raspberry Pi devices. It also brings native IAMF and Eclipsa Audio playback through the Astra Spatial Engine, with local binaural and multichannel rendering, three-dimensional speaker positioning, and support for height-channel layouts.

Beyond those features, v0.7.0-beta adds dynamic playlists, track ratings, listening statistics, Astra Mobile synchronization, Companion API v2, light mode, controller support, session restoration, major library and queue improvements, Astra Signal sharing, expanded visualizers, and extensive performance, stability, and testing work.

Nearly every part of Astra has been worked on in this release.

Parallax

• Added Parallax, an opt-in experimental system for synchronized, gapless playback across multiple devices on your local network
• Guided discovery and secure PIN pairing with authenticated, certificate-pinned connections
• Astra can operate as a Parallax host or sink, with dedicated zone displays and connection status controls
• Per-zone playback selection, naming, volume, output trim, delay calibration, test tones, and bulk controls
