ricercar

ricercar 0.5.0 makes plugin catalogues feel at home: their playlists sit with yours, their picks show on Home, search sorts everything by kind, and Bluetooth headphones appear in the outputs.

What's new

  • Plugins with a library leave the sidebar. A plugin that shares its library no longer keeps a block of its own: its playlists join your Playlists list, marked with its name, and its picks (new releases, editorial selections) become shelves on Home. Plugins without a library keep their sidebar section as before.
  • Search by kind. Results now include playlists, yours and those of your plugins, and a filter under the title narrows them to artists, tracks (then all of them), albums or playlists.
  • Recently played on Home, from every source: plugin tracks are now counted when you play them, and Home lists the last tracks you played with their source badge.
  • Bluetooth and other PipeWire outputs. Headphones and speakers that only exist in PipeWire are listed in the outputs, marked as shared (not bit-perfect), next to the bit-perfect hw: devices.
  • Choose the language. Settings → Appearance → Language: System, English or Français, applied at once.
  • Smoother touchpad scrolling. A two-finger swipe no longer runs away; mouse wheels keep their smooth scroll.
  • Fixes: one notification per track (plugin tracks showed two); e-mail addresses are masked in the diagnostic report's log lines.
  • For plugin authors: two optional additions to the protocol, library.playlists and a home list in browse.root (see docs/plugins.md). Plugins written for 0.4 keep working unchanged.

Plugins are written by third parties and are not reviewed by the ricercar project. They run with your permissions: install only plugins you trust, and check that they respect the terms of the service they use.

Coming from 0.4.0? See also the 0.4.1 notes: plugin libraries in the main pages, one search for everything, update notices.

From source: cargo build --release (see the README for per-distro dependencies).
