ChordPlay v1.8.6

ChordPlay v1.8.6

Welcome to ChordPlay v1.8.6! This release focuses on stability, fluid micro-animations, fast library navigation, and seamless in-app updating:

What's New in v1.8.6:

• Startup Crash Resolution:
  • Eliminated fatal NullPointerException on cold launch caused by coroutine flow initialization timing in MainViewModel.
• Smooth Fullscreen Canvas Lyric Transitions:
  • Replaced abrupt text swaps with fluid AnimatedContent featuring vertical slide (slideInVertically / slideOutVertically) and alpha cross-fading.
  • Added spring-physics animateContentSize to the floating capsule pill so its width morphs dynamically between short and long lines without jarring dimension snaps.
  • Keyed transitions by line index so repeating chorus lyrics always transition cleanly.
• FastScroller Performance & Touch Precision:
  • Re-engineered fast scroll thumb touch detection: touches outside the thumb pass through freely, eliminating touch-blocking on playlist 3-dots menus.
  • Throttled 60FPS scroll loop preventing reverse jumping or frame pacing stutter.
• Library Search & Categorization:
  • Search within the Library tab across songs, playlists, albums, and artists with real-time debounced queries and offline local media matching.
• Library View Layout Toggle:
  • Instant toggle between Grid and List views in the Library tab for playlists and albums.
• Reliable Playlist Membership Detection:
  • Integrated PlaylistMembershipCache so "Already in Playlist" indicators update instantaneously without duplicate entries or redundant network requests.
  • Playlists already containing the active song are automatically prioritized to the top of the "Add to Playlist" sheet.
• Lyrics Typography & Frosted Glass Polish:
  • Frosted glass design applied to lyrics styling controls.
  • Added full typography weight options (Medium, SemiBold, Bold, Heavy) with text alignment options.
• Permanent Repository Keystore:
  • Integrated permanent ChordPlay repository signing certificate ensuring all future APK releases update in-place with zero signature mismatches.
