[0.14.0-beta] - 2026-06-25

Added

  • Redesigned home page with configurable widgets (stats, extended stats, continue watching, favorites, top views, markers, health alerts, top tags, quick actions)
  • Audio media type — full support across backend and UI: metadata, filters, playback, and home widgets
  • Text media type — previews, editing, and “open file” actions
  • SFW mode — optional blur for images in the main content area
  • Persistent interface zoom — keyboard shortcuts, settings UI, and sync with Electron on desktop
  • Markers page — filtering, sorting, infinite scroll, and thumbnail generation
  • Settings → Video tab for video-related options (moved out of scattered sections)
  • Field pinning settings — drag-reorder and consistent card display order for pinned metadata
  • Database maintenance tools — faster media library operations and batch video image generation in database settings
  • Meta sort mode with view counts in tag-related settings
  • Mute toggle on fullscreen video hover preview
  • Feedback form — includes OS info and system details in the footer
  • Lowercase API path normalization on the server (/api/media/api/Media, etc.) for consistent routing in production builds
  • In-app documentation updates for the Video settings section

Changed

  • Settings reorganized into focused sidebar tabs: General, Appearance, Library, Files, Video, About
  • Library settings streamlined — media types, metadata, scraper, and quick tags grouped under one tab
  • Items pagination refactored with improved infinite-scroll loading and virtual grid behavior
  • Smart playlists and saved filters UI polished; playlist page loads faster
  • Settings lists show database sizes; tools layout uses inline hints and section cards
  • Filters drawer — higher background opacity for readability
  • Settings page layout — unified width via shared v-container, nested sections scroll correctly
  • Item context menu labels localized across all locales
  • Theme colors apply immediately when changed in settings

Fixed

  • Production builds (macOS DMG and installers) — Media and Tag API routes failed to register because server code imported from excluded src/; tags and media lists appeared empty while other DB stats still worked
  • API routing gaps (bulk-meta routes, dev config loading, installer excludes)
  • macOS auto-update for unsigned builds — updater offers download instead of blocked in-place install
  • License activation — stable hardware fingerprint; path handling and thumbnail crop regressions from v0.13
  • Tag page tabs — lazy rendering, correct ordering, refresh after tag removal
  • Player playback error layout when no playable file is found
  • Import duplicate detection and skipped-file messaging
  • System player launch on Windows 11 via shell.openPath
  • Country flags for tag names that contain commas
  • Documentation tree — highlight and expand the active article
  • Image viewer loading and conflicting pinch-zoom gestures
  • List page regressions after pagination changes
  • Settings page flex layout so nested content scrolls on smaller windows

Upgrade notes

  • From v0.13.1: in-app auto-update should deliver this beta if you are already on v0.13.1; otherwise install manually once
  • From v0.13.0 or older: install v0.13.1 or v0.14.0-beta manually first
  • Portable Windows builds do not support in-app auto-update
  • macOS builds are unsigned; see INSTALLATION.md for Gatekeeper steps and manual DMG update flow
  • This is a beta — report issues on GitHub before the stable v0.14.0 release
