STR v1.3.0

Built from commit: 20fef791591e7d4d8806308af2a9352f3d993dae
Workflow run: https://github.com/JRpersonal/streborn/actions/runs/41227012786

What's changed in v1.3.0

New features

• The UI 2.0 preview (Aa menu, Layout) now covers every view: Radio, Spotify, Library, Recently played, Speakers, Groups, setup and a new Help and info page (app)
• The UI 2.0 preview has no dead ends: no speakers, a failed search or an offline speaker each say what to do next (app)
• The UI 2.0 preview reports a problem in the row, key or card where it happened, and says done only once the speaker confirmed (app)
• The UI 2.0 preview's setup wizard checks the speaker's firmware and brings it to 27.0.6 before it installs STR (app)
• The display settings show an example of what the speaker's display will look like for the chosen options (display)
• The phone remote's Aa menu can switch to a preview of the new UI 2.0 layout (remote)

Fixes

• An older SoundTouch 20 restarts only STR after an update instead of rebooting, which could leave it dark until unplugged (installing this version itself may still need one last unplug) (agent)
• The speaker's log no longer fills up with certificate refusals from other devices on the network, such as Amazon Echo speakers (agent)
• A Spotify key shows the name of the account it was saved with in the desktop app too (app)
• Holding a key to save a Spotify playlist no longer stores it on another speaker picked in the meantime (app)
• The app shows the Bose trademark notice in its credits and on the phone remote (app)
• The firmware guide asks whether the USB update started before it offers a smaller file (app)
• The power button in the app wakes a sleeping speaker and lights up like the one on the phone remote (app)
• A speaker without a display, such as the SoundTouch 10, no longer offers the setting to show the track on its display (display)
• Every screen on the speaker display now uses the smooth font, including the number in the preset key (display)
• Forming a group no longer leaves a Pandora key lit as paused on the main speaker (groups)
• A track the speaker refuses now shows the restart hint instead of a format guess, and a Mac's hidden "._" files are no longer listed (library)
• A speaker with an older Pandora account that is not signed in now asks you to sign in instead of saying it is connected (pandora)
• Updating a grouped speaker from the phone now says beforehand that it leaves its group (phone)
• A paused song is no longer switched to internet radio by a preset re-sync (presets)
• Saving onto a key's second row with a tap and a hold no longer shows a warning that the key could not be saved (presets)
• Station names in the phone remote's search results no longer shrink to one letter per line (remote)
• The speaker language setting no longer calls itself experimental (settings)
• A speaker that is still finishing an update is no longer offered a first install (setup)
• The speaker list says an update is finishing instead of "STR not running" while it does (setup)
• A Spotify preset on a speaker with a free Spotify account now explains that it needs Premium and how to fix it (spotify)
• The note about groups during an update now uses the app's own button names (update)

Verify your download

Every binary in this release is attested by GitHub's build provenance system.

# SHA256 checksum
sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS

# Sigstore attestation (requires GitHub CLI)
gh attestation verify STR-Windows.exe --owner JRpersonal

Code signing

Windows: signed with a Certum Open Source code signing certificate. SmartScreen may still warn while the signature builds download reputation.

macOS: signed with a Developer ID certificate and notarized by Apple. The app and the disk image each carry a stapled ticket, so Gatekeeper opens them without a warning, offline included.

Any warning you do see, and the exact click path past it, is documented on the website Verify page.

VirusTotal scan

Each binary in this release is uploaded to VirusTotal on build, so the unsigned apps' heuristic false-positives are checkable. Live reports for this exact build:
