tuiplay 0.7.29

Fixed

• A self-dismissing status or error message no longer leaves a stale row
  stuck near the top of the interface. A message that carried an embedded
  newline made the status bar span two rows, which shifted the frame; the
  status bar now collapses newlines and control characters so it always
  occupies exactly one row, and the interface forces a full repaint when a
  temporary status message expires.

tuiplay 0.7.28

Fixed

• Stale bold rows no longer pile up at the top of the queue after several
  track changes. Bubble Tea's line diff could leave the previous playing
  row's bold styling on screen, so the interface now forces a full repaint
  whenever the playing track changes.

Changed

• Updated the README for the current visualizer modes, Go requirement,
  configuration, key-binding limits, lyrics behavior, smart playlists,
  external control, and native audio support.
• Synchronized config.example.toml and the generated first-run template with
  all current options and actions, and corrected their zero-value semantics.
• Updated maintenance documentation to remove contradictory current-state
  guidance.

tuiplay 0.7.25

Fixed

• GitHub release binaries now build in Debian 12 Bookworm containers. Debian
  Bullseye's live security repository returned missing package versions during
  the arm64 build, which made dependency installation fail before compilation.

Changed

• Prebuilt Linux binaries now require glibc 2.36 or newer. They continue to
  require the ALSA runtime library (libasound2 or alsa-lib).

tuiplay 0.7.24

This release rolls up every change since the last published release (0.7.20):
the freetext lyrics search, the per-song lyric timing offset, and two
interface fixes.

Added

• Freetext lyrics search. While the lyrics view is open, /
  (lyrics_search) opens a search prompt. The query runs against the local
  lrclib dump (title/artist prefix match, with extra words as filters) and
  against the lrclib.net search endpoint; the results merge and dedupe. Each
  hit carries its lyrics, so picking it needs no second lookup. Enter on a
  hit shows its lyrics; while a song plays they are saved to the lyrics cache
  under that song's key, so the automatic lookup finds them from then on.
  [..] or 4 returns to the playing song's lyrics.
• lyrics_search key action (default /), rebindable in [keys].
• Lyric timing offset. While the lyrics view shows synced lyrics, ,
  (lyrics_earlier) shifts the active-line timing 0.1 s earlier and .
  (lyrics_later) shifts it 0.1 s later, clamped to ±10 s. The offset
  shows in the lyrics page title (for example [+0.3s]) and persists per
  song in a .offset sidecar file in the lyrics cache directory, so it
  comes back with the song. A zero offset removes the file.
• lyrics_earlier and lyrics_later key actions (defaults , and .),
  rebindable in [keys].

Fixed

• Toggling the navigation panel (1/2) no longer leaves a stale queue row
  stuck at the top of the pane. The panel toggle changes the queue-pane
  width, and Bubble Tea's line diff could leave the previously highlighted
  row on screen; the interface now forces a full repaint when the panel
  visibility flips.
• A track load no longer blocks the interface loop; playback starts without
  stalling the UI.
• The first-run config template glued two [keys] comment lines together
  (crossfade_set and save_playlist).

tuiplay 0.7.20

Added

• Album cover-art view. 6 (show_cover) shows the cover of the currently
  playing song in the right pane. It follows the playing song and prefetches
  the art in the background. The renderer has three modes, cycled with Space
  while the cover view is focused: half-block (full color), braille
  (high-resolution monochrome), and shaded blocks. It scales the image with a
  Catmull-Rom kernel and corrects for the terminal cell aspect so the art is
  not stretched.
• A completely reworked fullscreen visualizer. Every mode now shares a vivid,
  reactive palette (vividHex): the spectral position sets the hue (bass warm,
  treble cool), loudness sets the brightness, a drifting phase breathes the
  scene, and a detected beat flashes the whole screen. The spectrum draws with
  half-block glyphs for double vertical resolution, so a small window still
  reads smooth. Two new modes replace the old ellipse and Lorenz modes: a
  radial bloom that radiates the spectrum from a pulsing center, and beat
  sparks that burst particles from the center on each beat (with an optional
  fading streak). The animation tick runs at about 30 fps.
• A [visualizer] config table that tunes every visualizer mode. Shared:
  hue_speed, beat_sensitivity. Spectrum: spectrum_smoothing,
  spectrum_peak_gravity, spectrum_tilt, spectrum_monstercat. Waveform:
  wave_falloff. Stereo: stereo_smoothing. Radial bloom: radial_decay,
  radial_reach, radial_core. Beat sparks: spark_life, spark_speed,
  spark_gravity (a negative value gives straight streaks), spark_count,
  and spark_trail (comet streaks). Each key is optional and falls back to a
  built-in default.

Changed

• The visualizer keeps its own vivid palette; the UI theme no longer changes
  it. The spectrum, waveform, radial bloom, and stereo spectrum now smooth
  their levels toward the previous frame, so bars glide and blooms fall off
  gradually instead of snapping. The spectrum peak caps fall under gravity.
• Song info (i) and artist info (I) now push onto the browse stack from any
  right-pane view, not only from the browse view.

Fixed

• The cover-art aspect ratio is corrected so the image is not stretched
  vertically.
• A late queue restore that paused freshly started playback is dropped.
