pre-release7 months ago

This is a release candidate build for v2.0.0. Full release notes will come with v2.0.0

This release includes the fix for the application not being able to show YouTube Music due to internal changes from YouTube Music

Fixed:

  • Added migration for zoom config. Previously missing in rc.4 this migration has been added. This would make the app crash on changing any setting #1177
  • Certain messages on the loading screen will no longer get overriden
  • Fixed app not correctly launching because of internal YouTube Music changes #1179
  • Custom CSS will get updated if YouTube Music reloads. e.g. clicking the home button would cause Custom CSS to not appear anymore

Other miscellaneous changes & quality of life:

  • ⚡ Lighter packaged app by excluding some unnecessary resource files
  • 🔒 Various security hardening changes

Developer related changes:

  • Added /metadata endpoint to allow querying for API versions the app supports. Use this to determine if the app supports an API version.
    • This is not a finalized endpoint and data returned could be changed

If you'd like to view the changes between each release in git commit form: v2.0.0-rc.4...v2.0.0-rc.5

AUTO UPDATER & CHECK FOR UPDATES BUTTON HAS BEEN DISABLED. THIS IS EXPECTED BEHAVIOR UNTIL V2.0.0
