v0.8.2

Playback reliability, mostly. YouTube is moving to SABR and several clients
stopped serving whole files, so the fallback chain was rebuilt around the
three identities that still work. Plus a normalization switch, podcast fixes
and two small Linux niceties.

New features

• A volume normalization switch under Settings ▸ Playback ▸ Audio, on by
  default. Off clears mpv's filter chain entirely: no boost, no attenuation,
  no limiter. (#298, #300)
• Two-finger swipe to go back, on Linux. Windows already had it. (#302)
• Clicking the empty space around the artwork collapses the now-playing
  view, the way a dialog backdrop does. (#302)

Improvements

• The stream fallback chain is now WEB_REMIX, VISIONOS, TVHTML5_SIMPLY, then
  rustypipe. TVHTML5_SIMPLY gives signed-out playback a second leg in regions
  where the web identity's bot check refuses. ANDROID_VR is gone: googlevideo
  would only serve the first mebibyte of its URLs, so it cost two round trips
  per resolve and could never have played anything. (#292)
• Loudness defaults move with the switch: the boost cap drops from 6 dB to
  3 dB, and the limiter ceiling goes to full scale so it only touches what
  would genuinely clip.
• Network errors read "No connection" instead of reqwest's raw
  http: error sending request for url (...).
• A nightly workflow checks that YouTube still streams a whole track on each
  client and that the cipher registries know the player being served. It
  never blocks a merge.
• The Windows app-icon hint no longer promises the taskbar button, which
  Windows 11 draws from the installed app and no running process can change.
  (#299)

Bug fixes

• Gapless transitions popped or stuttered. A WebM track left one unwanted
  sample at its end, and the next stream was not opened until the boundary
  had already arrived. (#199)
• Waking a PC from sleep walked the whole queue and scrobbled every track it
  touched. A lost audio device is now told apart from a dead stream: playback
  stops where it is and waits for you to press play. (#267)
• Podcasts added to the library by RSS feed were skipped as unavailable.
  (#294)
• A podcast opened by its playlist id showed no title or artwork. (#294)
• A network outage skipped or dropped tracks instead of stopping.
• Signed-out users could get "Failed to recognize file format" on every
  track. A capped stream URL is now refused before mpv sees it, and a resolve
  that failed only for want of an account says to sign in. (#292)
• Clients disabled in Settings were still used for music videos.
• A player.js rotation that landed before the community registries had a
  config for it killed both cipher clients until a restart. (#292)
• A cached stream URL was replayed with the wrong client's headers.
• A failed crossfade preload left its bad URL cached, so it failed again in
  front of you.
• A stalled music-video connection hung the player with no error.
• The cipher webview is kept alive on Windows, where rebuilding it has been
  measured at two minutes on a cold machine. (#288)
• Diagnostics read the disabled-clients setting under a key nothing writes,
  so it reported none on every machine.

New contributors

• @Voltikor: found and fixed the pop and stutter on gapless transitions, in
  #295.

macOS: the app is signed ad-hoc, so Gatekeeper says it "is damaged". Clear it with xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/limusic.app.

On Linux only the AppImage self-updates. The .rpm is a normal package, so rpm users install a new rpm.
