3.0

Changes since 2.4.2:

• macOS 12 is now the minimum version. macOS 13 or newer is recommended.
• The internal database now stores actual artist and album instead of directory IDs, alleviating many UI quirks when using Subsonic servers. (GH-73)
  • Users of alternative server implementations like Navidrome won't notice anything, as they already use fake directory IDs based on artist and album IDs.
  • I've tried hard to make this transition as smooth as possible. Please file an issue if anything goes wrong.
  • If reloading and switching away from and back to the server doesn't help, delete recreate your server in the database.
• HTTP requests have been made more async, and shouldn't block the UI. (GH-175)
  • This comes with a major internal simplification to how requests are built, to be more idiomatic Swift.
• Adds an inspector sidebar for looking at track properties, now in default toolbar items. (GH-72)
  • This shows the selection, and the current playing track otherwise.
  • This is now the home of album art; clicking the image will show the full resolution in Quick Look.
• The tracklist now shows the length of the tracklist and count. (GH-112)
• The tracklist toolbar button will show the tracklist if you leave the cursor over the button.
• Adds an option to purge the locally downloaded/cached files. Imported files are unaffected.
• Makes the internal tracklist model index based. Duplicate tracks no longer cause UI wonkiness.
• Reduce the frequency in which the position slider is updated, reducing CPU usage. (GH-169)
• Don't update the position slider if the window isn't visible, reducing CPU usage. (GH-171)
• Podcast episodes shouldn't duplicate when refreshing.
• Avoid downloading tracks if they're already downloaded.
• Remove some images from the app bundle to reduce application size.
• Use newer split view functionality available in modern macOS.
• Don't show 404 messages to avoid noise w/ database ID migrations.
