A documentation and first-contact release. Nothing about playback changes: what changes
is what someone installing tidalamp outside Arch sees.

Fixed

  • The messages sent everyone to pacman. With mpv or cava missing, the first
    thing anyone installing tidalamp on Debian or Fedora saw was a command their system
    does not have. The message now reads /etc/os-release and names the right one: apt,
    dnf, zypper or pacman. Derivatives — Mint, Pop!_OS, Nobara — are resolved through
    ID_LIKE, and a distribution that is not recognised gets no suggestion rather than a
    wrong one.
  • The PyPI page showed no images at all. The README linked them with relative paths,
    which PyPI resolves against its own domain and which come back as HTML. The banner and
    the ten theme and palette screenshots now appear.

Changed

  • The README documents the requirements per distribution — mpv and cava on apt, dnf,
    zypper and pacman — and that the Python 3.11 floor rules out Ubuntu 22.04 and
    Debian 11, where pipx fails while resolving the version rather than at run time.
  • The README is rewritten for the person using the program: quick start and installation
    first, and around a hundred lines gone that justified design decisions to a code
    reviewer.
  • The project description stops defining itself by comparison with Winamp.

Installation

pipx install "tidalamp[art]"

Requires Python 3.11 or later and mpv on the system. The full detail is in
CHANGELOG.md.
