sunnypatell/sunnify-spotify-downloader v2.1.0 on GitHub

what's changed

the desktop app moves from qt 5 to qt 6. [qt 5 reached end-of-standard-support in may 2025, and only its commercial LTS continues](https://endoflife.date/qt), so this keeps sunnify on a framework that still gets security fixes. no visual or behavioral changes are intended - it's the same gradient card, verified pixel-by-pixel against the qt 5 build on all three OSes.

changed

ported to PyQt6 6.11, following riverbank's documented pyqt5 → pyqt6 differences and qt's own porting guide: every enum is now its fully-scoped form (Qt.AlignmentFlag, Qt.MouseButton, QEasingCurve.Type, QFont.Weight, …), exec_() is exec(), and QMouseEvent.globalPos() is globalPosition().toPoint(). qt 6's high-dpi scaling is always on, so the manual attributes are gone while the PassThrough rounding policy from the #64 high-dpi fix stays explicit.
the windows-wheel landmine is gone for good. pyqt5-qt5 shipped no windows wheels after 5.15.2, which forced a hand-maintained per-platform pin (and caused a real release-build failure); pyqt6-qt6 ships current wheels on all three platforms, so the pin, its dependabot ignore, and the guardrail note are all deleted.
Template.py was ported by hand (imports, scoped enums, integer font weights → qt 6's opentype QFont.Weight scale); it is deliberately not regenerated from the stale Template.ui.

fixed

closing the app no longer logs itself as a crash. the close button called sys.exit() inside a qt slot, which raised SystemExit into qt's exception hook and wrote a CRITICAL uncaught exception on every normal close, with no clean session-end - the logs read as if sunnify kept crashing. it now leaves the loop the documented way, QApplication.quit(), and an intentional SystemExit is treated as a clean exit.
the "Show Preview" panel no longer crashes on qt 6. its slide animation referenced QEasingCurve.InOutQuad, which is QEasingCurve.Type.InOutQuad under scoped enums, and would have aborted on the first click. new interaction tests now drive the animation, the frameless-window drag, and the close path so this class of regression can't hide behind a green suite again.

notes

verified before shipping: 213 tests green on python 3.10-3.13 across windows, macos, and linux; every dialog, button, animation, and the drag handlers exercised headless with zero enum failures; close and ctrl+c both confirmed to exit cleanly; the ui rendered at 1x/1.5x/2x on all three OSes and compared against the qt 5 baselines; and the real shipped binary was launched and confirmed to boot clean on its bundled python 3.13. binaries built with yt-dlp 2026.6.9.
