kew 4.3.0

  • Have track title as the title of the notification and not artist. By @Lemon-mon-254.

  • Fixes to Windows workflow issues.

kew 4.2.9

Bug Fixes:

  • Fixes Windows installer issue.

kew 4.2.8

This version brings karaoke lyrics support, and band names will link to their bandcamp page on track view.

It's mostly a bug fix release. We are far from the mess directly after the UI rewrite, most issues fixed here only affected certain users.

We want people to report subtle issues, minor annoyances and so on. We are going to focus on this the next 6 months - we call it "Project Joy".

Enhancements:

  • Bandcamp links! Uses bandcamp.com links as fallback for the homepage url if the artist db isn't installed.

This is awesome because it doesn't require the database and a lot of bandcamp artists have their bandcamp homepage in the comment tag. Links can still be disabled by settings useArtistsDb=0 in kewrc. Suggested by @sparrowd_P.

  • Karaoke lyrics support (very cool). By @Moksh-Parikh.

  • Make ascii covers look better on light themes. Requested by @baranelitez.

  • Use text emoji characters for mini player controls, for those macs that support it. By @petoem.

  • Load lyrics from similarly named files, not just exact ones. By @toasteeeer.

  • Show mini-controls also on songs with no cover.

  • Clear search query when switching views (but search results stay).

  • Add webp cover support. Uses tinywebp (BSD-3 License). Suggested by @hashfoeW.

  • A better way to get real-time priority, using RTKIT. By @metanoia.

Bug fixes:

  • Fixed crash when starting to play a song. Don't set real-time process status (setcap) if it's not allowed by the system. By @ravachol. Reported by @prostitutionofthesoul.

  • Fixed crash when starting to play a song II, because of interaction with dbus/mpris. By @ravachol. Reported by @@aaruni96.

  • Cover not displayed on tmux (we've been trying to fix this for years). By @nhuvaynhe.

  • When pressing on a top level (artist) or - music library - , you are supposed to get a shuffled list, reenabled now.

  • Fixed use after free if DBUS connection fails. By @daeho-ro.

  • Properly escape cover art paths for mpris. By @not-nef.

  • Library View: Fixed jump in library position after opening two directories and then scrolling.

  • Library View: Prevent double-scrolling.

  • When middle-clicking (immediate play) on an enqueued album, it now plays. By @nhuvaynhe.

  • Null check preventing segfault. By @Moksh-Parikh.

  • Fixed Null pointer dereference in set_prefs when playing file outside library. By @lhs-12.

  • Don't bail if Mpris is unavailable. Suggested by @lhs-12.

  • Properly extract year from dates in the format YYYYMMDD, instead of showing the full date. By @Exberg. Reported by @ILikePapyrus.

  • Fixed uninitialized album line causing random garbled text in track view. By @lhs-12.

  • Fixed CTRL+g (immediate play) doesnt play an unselected song. By @ravachol. Found by @LeahTheSlug.

  • Fix page up/down off by one on library, playlist and search view. By @petoem. Found by @LeahTheSlug.
