  • Includes Desert, Dracula, Everforest, Gruvbox, Nord, Solarized, and Zenburn themes, and support for editing directly from within Aletheia in the Edit menu.
  • Fixed a bug in aletheia_desktop_launcher. Now waits for gnome-terminal-server to be up before attempting to run gnome-terminal.
  • Fixed another bug with aletheia_desktop_launcher to ensure that if the user's preferred terminal set with TERMINAL= in ~/.aletheia/config isn't available, run whatever is available.
  • Switched to a column layout on the main screen and queue for artist, album, and title.
  • Ctrl-T now toggles between using metadata tags (artist/title and artist/album/title views) or displaying only the filenames.
  • Added support for openSUSE in the create_rpm script.
  • Added support for loading songs based on genre.
  • Updated installation instructions in README/README.md.
  • Suppresses warning message if system volume control is unavailable.
  • Warns if optional dependencies aren't installed on load with the option to suppress the warning.
  • No longer need to save settings manually as it now does it automatically.
  • Added support for editing flac metadata provided you have the optional 'flac' package installed.
  • Improved metadata caching with the ability to cancel if needed.
  • Fixed a bug with Slackware/Slint in the Vanish text editor.
  • Fixed a bug when loading only locked files.
  • Removed border around the entire menu. Now just shows horizontal lines to signal top and bottom of the menu.
  • Fixed a bug when using VIM with filenames containing the '#' character.
  • Updated Suggests/Recommends packages in create_rpm and create_deb scripts.
  • Fixed an issue in the create_archive and aletheia.SlackBuild scripts that had required renaming the source directory.
  • Fixed an issue in aletheia.SlackBuild that preventing aletheia from finding the system directory once installed.
  • Updated install commands in README/README.md to automatically adjust for new revisions and included the command to install rpm-build.

If you currently have Aletheia installed, it might be a good idea to have it re-generate the music database by deleting ~/.aletheia/music.db and letting it re-cache on start, as we now cache genre, year, total tracks, and comments.

Some themes have been removed. If you used the provided 'install' script, it would be best to run 'uninstall' first before reinstalling to remove them (unless you want to keep them, in which case I recommend moving them over to ~/.aletheia/themes).

Enjoy!
