SimpleCast 0.9.0 beta 15

Beta 15 adds a compact broadcaster view and makes Windows minimization and
recording-folder access more predictable.

New

  • Mini mode switches the existing SimpleCast window to an approximately
    150×600 broadcaster with vertical L/R VU meters, live status and timer,
    Start/Stop Broadcast control, and the current server at the bottom.
  • The mini server chooser opens downward below the mini window with a smooth
    transition and lists saved favorites first. Server switching remains locked
    while broadcasting.
  • Open folder on the Recordings page creates the selected recording folder
    when necessary and opens it in Windows Explorer.
  • The optional --mini launch argument starts directly in mini mode.

Changed

  • Pressing Minimize now keeps SimpleCast on the Windows taskbar by default.
  • A new Minimize makes the software go to tray checkbox under
    Settings → Window behavior restores the earlier tray behavior when
    preferred.
  • Existing configurations safely use taskbar minimization until the new option
    is explicitly enabled.

Verification

  • All 92 automated tests pass.
  • The mini layout, taskbar/tray behavior, recording-folder action, server order,
    and packaged application are included in the beta release checks.

The Windows beta artifacts are intentionally unsigned, so Windows may show a
SmartScreen or Smart App Control warning.
