IcyView Changelog

0.9.9 - 2026-10-10

Changes since 0.9.1.

Native egui frontend using the shared wgpu CRT renderer. icy_view uses it
by default; icy_view_egui is a compatibility alias and the previous frontend
remains available with the legacy-ui feature.
Responsive list, masonry thumbnail grid and full-preview browsing, with
navigation history, filtering, sorting and background loading.
Ratings, file information, places, quick open and a hideable minimap.
Download original files from Sixteen Colors and retry failed fetches.
Image previews for PCX, Amiga IFF/ILBM/PBM and BASIC BSAVE screen dumps,
alongside common image and Sixel formats.
REXPaint document viewing with all layers.
TheDraw and FIGlet font previews with editable sample text, spacing, colors,
outline styles and glyph tables.
Font specimens for Windows raster fonts, raw DOS fonts, Amiga fonts including
ColorFonts, and Borland BGI stroke fonts.
Tracker playback for MOD, S3M, XM and IT, plus Reality AdLib Tracker RAD music,
with module information and instrument/sample names.
MP3, Ogg, FLAC, WAV and AAC/M4A playback with metadata, seeking and persistent
volume control.
Slideshow overlays with title, author, group and scrolling SAUCE comments.

Reworked toolbars, status bars and dialogs, including color-coded SAUCE
columns and an auto-hiding thumbnail toolbar.
Shared system clipboard integration, export dialogs, monitor controls,
mouse-wheel zoom and updated application icons with the other desktop tools.
Tall artwork fills the window width and scrolls vertically instead of being
reduced to fit the window height.
Baud-rate playback sizes the canvas from the complete file and follows the
typing cursor; manual scrolling takes priority over automatic following.
Thumbnails use GPU-sized image tiles rather than the previous 512-pixel
reduction, while cache eviction retains layout metadata.

Fixed stale font-preview tiles and thumbnail layout updates after background
directory loading.
Improved text rendering, fractional scaling and ANSI document autowrap.
Made slow baud-rate playback tests tolerant of scheduling delays.

Existing command-line options, file providers and configuration are retained.
Settings preserve unknown fields and detect external configuration changes.
Animated image previews currently show the first frame.
