Customization

• Settings split into tabs now, theme, Banners, Tracks and Interface, with connected Material 3 containers in every sidebar
• New sliders with a gap around the handle like in android, a segmented hue slider and a shorter set of Material 3 accent colors
• "Highlight buttons" (on by default): the main button of each screen uses your accent color, secondary ones stay gray
• Rebuilt Audio settings with tabs to be better
• Smooth morphing tab indicator in the sidebar instead of buggy previous
• Pure black and white theme at color intensity 0 (previous version set slightly purple accent)
• No-Hand cursor is on by default and the mesh gradient is off by default to be better
• Custom themes, add a .css file in Settings, see a live preview and switch it on, like in vencord/etc.
• CSS editor , Ctrl+Shift+R resets custom CSS if something breaks
• "Allow multiple instances" option in Settings (off by default) for running a second Riff window

Welcome

• A first-launch tour, pick your look, personalize Riff, add a Start menu / applications menu shortcut, connect Discord and import a Spotify playlist

Library & Sources

• YouTube Music search rewritten, fixed ads in the results, correct track length and the artist name is more better
• (by kebab1337420) Spotify import now brings in playlists with more than 100 tracks

System & Security (by @kebab1337420 and @hotplugindev)

• Origin and Host header validation against DNS rebinding and CSRF
• Audio proxy SSRF protection blocking private network and metadata endpoints
• HTML sanitization against XSS in track titles and metadata
• Fixed cache-size reporting and cache clearing
• Nix flake for NixOS users
• macOS builds (experimental): dmg for Apple Silicon and Intel

Fixes

• The progress bar in the player bar now changes color right away when you change the theme
• Smoother playback of background videos (lighter blur, pauses when the window is hidden)
• Stacked sidebar buttons no longer appear as sharp squares on startup

Thanks to everyone who reported issues, to @hotplugindev and @kebab1337420 for their contributions.
