Spotifast 0.13.1 stops the window from freezing while the disk is busy, checks that a Google Cast speaker is genuine before signing it in, opens full-screen lyrics with F, and lets you choose how often the player bar's visualizer draws.

On Windows, pick the .msi, as in 0.13.0. The setup program (-setup.exe) is still attached for this release only.
New
- Google Cast speakers must prove they are genuine. Before it sends a Cast speaker anything, Spotifast now asks it to prove it is a real Google Cast device, as Chrome does, and stops if it can't. 0.13.0 accepted any device that answered at the speaker's address. See how it connects. By @colsontabbert. (#883)
- F opens and closes full-screen lyrics, when no text field has focus. By @PixelAsh6. (#874)
- A frame rate for the player bar and mini player visualizers. Frame rate in Settings → Appearance sets how often they draw: 30, 60 (the default), your screen's rate, or Uncapped. Before, they drew at your screen's rate, which on a fast screen cost power for little gain. MilkDrop keeps its own rate. By @crmne.
Fixed
- The window no longer freezes while the disk is busy. 0.13.0 saved settings, the session and history on the window's own thread, so under heavy disk use the window could stop responding and Pause or a click could wait for seconds. They are now saved in the background, and anything waiting is still written before Spotifast quits or the computer sleeps. If the window ever stalls again, the log now says so, which helps when you report it. By @crmne.
Thanks
@colsontabbert, @PixelAsh6, and everyone who reported problems since 0.13.0.
