Changelog
Windows builds: free code signing provided by SignPath.io, certificate by SignPath Foundation (code signing policy).
FYI:
Lokal is 100% local; the library, history, anything in database, or any info that is used for API's such as yt-dlp, LRCLIB, is NOT seen by us.
✨ New
- Update the built-in Soulseek client from Settings → Integrations → Soulseek. Check for updates finds the latest slskd release, and Update installs it and signs you back in. The download is only used if its SHA-256 matches the one GitHub lists; if it fails or doesn't match, the current version keeps running.
🔧 Improved
- Soulseek is built in only. The "My own slskd" option is gone: sign in with a Soulseek username and password and Lokal runs the client for you. Old slskd address and API key settings are ignored.
- Music video bars: when a video doesn't fill the screen, the bars around it now continue the video's own colours instead of the blurred album cover. This uses very little CPU or GPU and pauses when the video does.
- Music video matching: official videos are found more often. Channels named like "BlackEyedPeasVEVO" now count as the artist, and an official video YouTube Music lists without a length is now checked instead of skipped.
- Selection bar: the page keeps room for the bar's real height, so the bar never covers the last rows.
- README updated with music videos, Releases, built-in Soulseek, lossless upgrades and new screenshots.
🐛 Fixed
- Soulseek:
- Signing out while the client is downloading or starting no longer lets it start afterwards.
- A client that can't be launched shows an error in Settings instead of crashing Lokal.
- Signing out can't clash with a quick sign-in right after.
- Spotify import: a failed library request now shows an error instead of "no artists followed".
- Lossless for many songs: closing the dialog also cancels the download already started.
- Album page: Play works when the full album online is shown.
- Artists: switching between All and Followed never shows the other list's artists.
