Eighth beta of 1.4.0. The AppImage now runs natively on Wayland, and on NVIDIA it gets GPU compositing back, so page changes, opening the player and the lyrics sweep stop dropping frames. If you use the AppImage, please tell us how it looks and feels next to rc.7, most of all on GNOME or without an NVIDIA card.
New features
- Background vocals in the lyric editor: a "(Yeah, yeah)" sung under the lead is timed as its own pass after the lead. Press V or use the switch to pick the voice by hand.
- Choose which lyrics the editor starts from: Other sources lists every provider's lyrics for the song.
- Drag the editor's timeline to see the song around a line.
- Ctrl+L (Cmd+L on macOS) likes or unlikes the playing song. (#621)
- Left and right arrows seek 10 seconds. (#570)
- The volume shows as a percentage while you drag the slider. (#609)
- Hungarian: the app can now be set to Magyar.
Improvements
- Lyrics move more smoothly: the view glides to the next line just before it starts, lines ease into place one after another, and held notes glow.
- Background vocals in Apple-timed lyrics light up on their own time, on their own line under the lead.
- Lyrics mirrored from another source say Limusic in the footer, and the source picker names where they came from.
- The lyric editor tells you when a provider already has word-synced lyrics for the song.
- Home and other pages with shelves are lighter, so scrolling and switching pages are quicker.
- On Linux the app does less work every frame with the player open, and in a maximized window.
- Updated Spanish, French, Indonesian, Polish, Russian, Turkish, Ukrainian and Vietnamese translations.
Bug fixes
- On Linux with an NVIDIA card, the window could freeze with its last frame up, most often in the lyric editor.
- Deleting the text in the search field now goes back to the browse page, like the X button. (#647)
- Scrobbling an artist like "Tyler, The Creator" or "Macklemore & Ryan Lewis" no longer cuts the name in half. (#650)
- At 110% zoom, a thin line no longer shows between the open player and the bar. (#661)
New contributors
- H Tamás and MrFonax: the Hungarian translation.
If the AppImage misbehaves on Wayland, start it with LIMUSIC_GDK_BACKEND=x11 to go back to X11, and please open an issue.
On macOS, if the app "is damaged and can't be opened", run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/limusic.app.
