HomePodCast 1.0.0-beta.6

1.0.0 beta 6. Not code-signed yet, so SmartScreen may warn ("More info" → "Run anyway"). With beta 5 installed: Settings → Updates → Check for updates. Changes since beta 5:

Fixed:

• Switching to a usage profile for another speaker could save the previous speaker's volume as the new speaker's, and a later reconnect then sent it there.
• Leaving the browser extension's synchronized fullscreen with its button focused threw an error, and part of the page update was skipped.
• Layout: a collapsed row covered the corner of the microphone card; the speaker card's texts were cut off at the default window size (more so in German); the German profile picker shrank to "Pr…"; the tray panel cut off the retry countdown; at the minimum window width some buttons were cut off. Several controls got accessible names.

Changed:

• Settings → "When a HomePod is an Apple TV's home theater speaker" is marked experimental: it hasn't been tried with a real Apple TV yet, in particular whether the Apple TV takes its HomePod back after HomePodCast disconnects.

Behind the scenes:

• Every CI build now also tests the in-app update from an older MSI, the installer (install, upgrade, uninstall, the Chinese wizard), the Microsoft Store package, the browser extension in Chrome, and every page of the app in three languages at 100 and 150 %.

Known issues:

• While a HomePod is an Apple TV's home theater speaker, the two keep a link that takes up the Wi-Fi at regular intervals; below about 200 ms latency this causes dropouts. For gaming, set the Apple TV's audio output back to the TV.

1.0.0 测试版 6：程序未签名，Windows 可能弹出 SmartScreen 提示（点「更多信息」→「仍要运行」）。装着测试版 5 的话，在 设置 →「软件更新」里点「检查更新」就能升级。相对测试版 5 的变化：

修复

• 用使用配置切换到另一只音箱时，旧音箱的音量可能被存成新音箱的音量，之后重连时就会发给新音箱。
• 浏览器插件的同步全屏：按钮有焦点时退出全屏会报错，页面的一部分更新被跳过。
• 界面：麦克风卡片的一角被一个折叠的行盖住；音箱卡片的文字在默认窗口大小下被截断（德语更明显）；德语的配置选择框只剩「Pr…」；托盘面板截掉了重试倒计时；窗口最窄时有几个按钮被裁掉。几个控件补上了无障碍名称。

改动

• 设置 →「HomePod 当 Apple TV 家庭影院音箱时」标成了实验性：还没在真实的 Apple TV 上试过，特别是 HomePodCast 断开后 Apple TV 会不会把 HomePod 要回去。

幕后

• 现在每次 CI 构建还会测：从旧版 MSI 自动更新、安装包（安装、升级、卸载、中文向导）、Microsoft Store 版、Chrome 里的浏览器插件，以及程序每个页面的三种语言、100% 和 150% 缩放。

已知问题

• HomePod 当 Apple TV 的家庭影院音箱时，两者之间会一直保持一条连接，定时占用 Wi-Fi；延迟低于约 200 ms 时会断音。打游戏时请在 Apple TV 上把音频输出改回电视。
