Orchard 5.0.0-beta.6 (beta)

Orchard 5.0.0-beta.6 "Promos Imbecile"

New & improved

• Offline Music Downloads: Download individual songs or full albums, artists, and playlists for playback without a network connection. Downloads have dedicated management, remain separate from the replay cache, and can be browsed while Orchard is offline.
• Accessible Collection Actions: Browse detail actions now have visible labels, descriptive accessible names, and clearer responsive styling across artist and collection views.

Changed

• Welcome Renderer: Moved the welcome and setup experience into a standalone renderer that loads only the onboarding state it needs while preserving preferences, sign-in, Orchard Connect, and diagnostics.

Fixed

• Windows Packages: Corrected launcher path resolution across installed Orchard Packages layouts and added coverage for package asset and opener behavior.

Maintenance

• Native Audio: Removed the retired Rubber Band native renderer and vendored sources now that Earmark handles desktop and mobile transitions, reducing native build and package overhead.
• Packaging and Dependencies: Slimmed production package payloads, improved platform-native asset selection, updated Quasar to 2.28.0 and Zod to 4.5.2, and restored complete AGPL headers in the welcome renderer.
• Documentation: Refreshed the main and mobile documentation, feature presentation, and mobile screenshots.
