on GitHub

musikcube:

• ^R now displays an indexer dialog that allows the user to choose between a quick scan and full metadata rebuild.
• made checkboxes prettier.
• fixed playlist and play queue track numbers -- they should always be sequential, not pulled from metadata.

musikcubed:

• NEW! run musikcube as a daemon on macOS, Linux and BSD! musikcubed --help to get started.
  • note: the daemon currently runs independently from the curses app. this will be improved in future releases.

musikdroid:

• added remote server configuration! users can now change output drivers and devices, ReplayGain and preamp settings, transport type, and schedule the metadata indexer remotely. see: toolbar menu > remote management.
• added the ability to transfer playback context (play queue, song and position) from the server to the mobile app, and vice-versa. try it out by long pressing the switcher icon in the toolbar.
• promoted playlists to main screen, and shuffled the play queue button around.
• added the ability to query albums by extended metadata categories, including "composer", "producer", "year" and more. see: toolbar menu > categories.
• removed legacy playback engines. only ExoPlayer Gapless is supported now.
• show a warning if the server is running an older api version.
• fixed a crash when streaming play queue contains one file, and "random" is on.

musikcore:

• added the following functionality to IEnvironment:
  • query output devices and drivers
  • select the system's default output device and driver
  • re-index and re-build library metadata
  • get/set preamp and ReplayGain settings
  • get/set transport type (gapless, crossfade)
• switching output devices, transport, and ReplayGain settings no longer abruptly stop playback. there may generally be a short pause, but playback will continue where it left off.
• removed musikglue project. move functionalilty into musikcore.
• bumped sdk version to 14

  • list_output_drivers
  • set_default_output_driver
  • get_gain_settings

• play queue snapshotting; remote clients can use this functionality to help
  transfer playback context from server to client.

  • play_snapshot_tracks
• all messages that start playback can now be passed a time parameter, which will seek initial playback to the specified time (in seconds).
• query_play_queue_tracks now accepts an optional parameter called type; allowed values are live (default) and snapshot.
• bumped api version to 14
