3.2.0

Now with a mini-player mode, a braille visualizer mode, a favorites list for radio stations, scrolling names that don't fit, the visualizer running at 60 fps, and much more!

  • New mini-player mode. Make the window small and it goes into this mode. Suggested by @HAPPIOcrz007.

  • The visualizer now runs at 60 fps instead of 10, making it much smoother. The rest of the ui runs slower much like before to save on system resources.

  • The visualizer can now be shown in braille mode (visualizerBrailleMode option in kewrc config file).

  • Track progress can now be shown as a thin line instead of dots.

  • Now shows sample rate and if relevant, bitrate, in track view.

  • A favorites list for radio stations. It's visible when the radio search field is empty.

  • Audio normalization for flac and mp3 files using replay gain metatags. Suggested by @endless-stupidity.

  • Long song names now scroll in the library and playlist. Suggested by @HAPPIOcrz007.

  • Press o to sort the library, either showing latest first or alphabetically. Suggested by @j-lakeman.

  • Radio search now refreshes the list as radio stations are found, making it less "laggy".

  • Track view works with radio now.

  • Added a stop command (shift+s). Space bar is play as before.

  • Removed the playback of tiny left overs of the previous song, when pausing and then switching song.

  • Added bitrate field to radio station list.

  • Added support for fullwidth characters.

  • Added repeat playlist option. Suggested by @HAPPIOcrz007.

  • Added option to set the visualizer so that the brightness of it depends on the height of the bar. By @Chromium-3-Oxide.

  • Added config option to disable mouse (in kewrc file). By @Chromium-3-Oxide.

  • Previous on first track now resets the track instead of stopping.

  • Code cleanup. By @Chromium-3-Oxide.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed deadlock when quickly and repeatedly starting a radio station.

  • Fixed bug with previous track with shuffle enabled. Found by @GuyInAShack.

  • Fixed bug with moving songs around, there was a case where it wasn't rebuilding the chain and the wrong song would get played.

  • Fixed bug with alt + mouse commands not working. By @Chromium-3-Oxide.

Thank you to @Chromium-3-Oxide and everyone who helped out!
