v1.8.3

1.8.3 (2026-10-06)

🩹 What's new in v1.8.3

A small patch for album artwork in the library.

---

📚 Library

• Album covers are clear again in Pulse and Lounge. In My music → Albums, Pulse could hide covers behind black tiles, while Lounge made them look blurred or faded. The covers now display normally in both skins. The same correction also keeps them clear in Liquid. (#810)

📦 Recommended install

Use your platform's package manager when one is available, so updates keep flowing through the tool you already use.

Windows

winget install InstaZDLL.WaveFlow

Arch / Manjaro / EndeavourOS / CachyOS

yay -S waveflow-bin
# or: paru -S waveflow-bin

Fedora / RHEL / Rocky / Alma / CentOS Stream

sudo dnf copr enable instazdll/waveflow
sudo dnf install waveflow

Debian / Ubuntu / Mint / Pop!_OS

The Debian package is wave-flow (kebab-case, required by the Debian naming spec — Tauri bundles it that way from the WaveFlow product name).

sudo install -d -m 0755 /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://packages.buildkite.com/instazdll/waveflow/gpgkey \
  | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/waveflow.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/waveflow.gpg] https://packages.buildkite.com/instazdll/waveflow/any/ any main" \
  | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/waveflow.list
sudo apt update && sudo apt install wave-flow

macOS

No Homebrew cask yet — grab the .dmg below. The bundle isn't Apple-signed, so right-click → Open the first time, or run xattr -cr /Applications/WaveFlow.app to clear the quarantine flag.

Standalone download

Everything is also available as a raw bundle below — .AppImage, .deb, .rpm, .exe, .msi, .dmg.
