Auricle 0.1.0

Auricle v0.1.0 — First Stable Release 🎵

The first public build of Auricle, a native desktop music player for Windows
built with Rust and the Slint UI toolkit — a lightweight native shell with
no embedded web view.

Highlights

• 🔎 Fast search powered by the YouTube Music API
• ▶️ Playback with a persistent queue, history, and likes
• ⏯️ OS media-key integration (play/pause/next/previous from your keyboard)
• 💾 Local audio cache (LRU, persisted) for snappy repeat playback
• 🪟 Minimize-to-tray support
• 🦀 Fully native Rust + Slint shell — no React/Vite/Express, no web view

Requirements

• Windows with the MSVC C++ runtime
• Optional add-ons: audio extraction uses yt-dlp
  and some cache operations use ffmpeg. These are not bundled
  or redistributed. On first run, Auricle offers an optional "Install essential
  add-ons" step, or you can install them yourself and put them on your PATH.

Install

Download auricle-0.1.0.exe from the assets below and run it.

⚠️ First-release disclaimer

This is the very first release and should be considered early / experimental.
Expect rough edges and bugs — playback hiccups, UI quirks, and edge cases are likely.
It is not yet hardened for everyday production use. Please back up nothing critical to
it and report any issues you run into so they can be fixed. Use at your own risk.

Known limitations

• yt-dlp / ffmpeg must be present (via the in-app add-on step or your PATH)
• Windows only
• No automated test coverage yet; releases rely on manual smoke checks
