v1.0.0 Beta 1

We've hit beta! No new major features will be introduced into version 1. Future releases will be for bugfixes and small quality of life changes.

Speaking of, this build includes many bugfixes and a few new quality of life features! Syncing is overall much more reliable than the previous alpha release.

New

• The receiver's nickname will now persist across reconnects.
• Loading of the queue is now asynchronous, using a Web Worker.

Changes/Fixes

• The screensaver is now the same speed across different refresh rate screens.
• The admin panel footer now contains a link to the GitHub release.
• The communication of the current state of the server (e.g. loading/error) to the user has been improved with more loading spinners and status texts on the frontend.
• The notification banner on the receiver disappears quicker.
• The logs have been cleaned up.
• The thumbnails on the admin panel will fallback to lower quality if YouTube doesn't return a high quality thumbnail.
• The admin panel now shows when there's no video playing, rather than being stuck on whatever video was last played.
• The admin panel's clients table UI has been improved.
• The Up next status and queue indicator buttons are more reliable.
• Syncing on receiver load is more reliable.
• The server no longer crashes when an invalid URL is entered.
