A signed-in session no longer dies after a few hours. That was the headline bug of the last few releases: the app held one snapshot of your cookies forever, so the first time Google rotated them the login was already dead. Alongside it, Spanish joins the language picker, Familiar Artists on home becomes a play-count chart, and the AppImage finally works on openSUSE.

New features

  • Spanish: the app is fully translated, pick it in Settings ▸ General ▸ Language.
  • Familiar Artists on the home page is now a ranked chart of the artists you play most, with your own play counts behind each row.

Improvements

  • French, Indonesian, Portuguese (Brazil) and Turkish pick up the strings added by the history page and the Uploads split.

Bug fixes

  • Being signed in used to stop working after a few hours: every account action failed and only signing out and back in fixed it. The app now keeps its cookies up to date as Google rotates them, and quietly renews the session if YouTube rejects it anyway.
  • Tracks played from an uploaded album reached the queue, the player bar and the desktop media controls with no artwork.
  • On openSUSE the AppImage could not load anything over HTTPS: no sign-in, no thumbnails, no music videos, just Unacceptable TLS certificate. It now uses the system's certificates when it can.
  • Arrange home: rows jumped back and forth while you dragged one over them.
  • Arrange home: the list did not scroll when you dragged a row to its top or bottom edge.
  • A language that is not fully translated showed blank labels instead of falling back to English.
  • The result of Settings ▸ About ▸ Check for updates was always in English, and the note beside it was always in Turkish.
  • Starting a second sign-in while one was still running could leave you on the older account.

New contributors

macOS: Gatekeeper will say the app "is damaged and can't be opened". That is the missing Apple Developer signature, not a bad download. Clear it with:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/limusic.app

Only the AppImage and the macOS .app self-update. The .rpm is a normal package, so rpm users install the new one by hand.
