v2.1.1 Release Notes

Release Date: March 2026

Patch release fixing a metadata profile bug, adding version display and update notifications, and relocating the theme picker.

Bug Fixes

Metadata Profile: None (#40)

When adding artists to Lidarr, Mixarr was ignoring the connection's saved profile settings and always picking the first metadata profile from the Lidarr API — which defaults to "None". Artists added with metadata profile "None" get zero releases, so Lidarr never downloads anything.

Root cause: The subscription approve route fetched profiles fresh on every request and blindly used [0], bypassing the connection config entirely.

Fix: The approve route now uses the same cascading fallback as the rest of the app: saved connection config → first available from API. The Lidarr connection form also now includes a Metadata Profile dropdown so users can explicitly choose one.

New Features

Update Checker

Mixarr now checks GitHub Releases every 6 hours for newer versions. When an update is available:

• Console log at startup: 🔔 Update available: v2.2.0 (current: v2.1.1)
• Sidebar footer: Version string turns into an "update ↑" link
• Toast notification: Shown once per session on login
• Settings page: "About Mixarr" card shows current version and update link

Version Display

The current version is now visible in three places:

• Sidebar footer (below user avatar)
• Login page (bottom of card)
• Settings → About Mixarr

Theme Picker Relocation

The light/dark/system toggle moved from the sidebar header to the user dropdown menu. This fixes the overflow bug where the three-button picker overlapped the Mixarr logo when the sidebar was collapsed to 64px.
