  • Handle MP3 files with multiple image tags correctly (#1360)

  • Fix loading of local or cached lyrics, stored as .lrc files
  • Make Scrobbler plugin work again by parsing Last.fm responses properly
  • Don't treat MPG123_NEW_FORMAT as error when seeking in MP3 files
  • Avoid crash when opening corrupted AAC files
  • Fix build with C++20 standard

Changes since 4.4-beta1:

  • Use X11/XWayland by default if available
  • Prevent using Winamp interface on Wayland
  • Install plugins on macOS as file instead of bundle (#1364)
  • Improve Wayland support for GTK interface (#1369, #1388)
  • Fix build with Qt 6.7.1 (#1393)
  • Fix crash after a Qt interface could not be loaded (#1396)
  • Plug memory leak for Opus files with embedded images
  • Check for Qt SVG module at build time
  • Include developer name in appdata file
  • Update translations

Other changes:

  • Qt 6 and GTK 3 are now used by default, Qt 5 and GTK 2 support can still be enabled at build time though
  • GTK support is no longer considered legacy
  • Meson is now the preferred way to build Audacious, so consider switching from Autotools
  • Switch to x86-64 for Windows build
  • Various minor UI improvements
  • Our forum and bug tracker were migrated from Redmine to GitHub (see also the announcement)
  • Releases are published on GitHub now, based on the corresponding Git tag.
    Tarballs created by us will still be available via https://distfiles.audacious-media-player.org, as before.

Known issues:

  • Using the Winamp interface on Wayland is not supported due to limitations in Wayland regarding application-side window positioning (see also #common problems). We suggest to run Audacious via XWayland therefore.

Thanks to all the contributors and bug reporters.
