diskOS Disco! 2.5.5

Not tested on a Disc yet. This release was built and checked on a computer only. If anything misbehaves,
the SD update rolls back by itself, or choose Go back; 2.5.4 stays available on the releases page.

Experimental: Thai, Vietnamese and Korean

Song titles, artists, albums and lyrics in more languages, in every theme:

  • Thai now shows instead of empty boxes. The Disc can't stack Thai marks the way phones do, so tone marks are
    placed above the vowels: always readable, sometimes a little higher than you're used to.
  • Vietnamese letters with accents now show.
  • Korean: the 2,350 everyday syllables, at the same smaller size as Chinese and Japanese.

Not yet: Hebrew and Arabic (right-to-left) and Indian scripts. Please
tell us how your music looks, with a screenshot if you can.

Fixes and small things

  • Covers on fuller cards. Covers are cached until the SD card has less than 500 MB free (was 1 GB), so Cover
    Flow and lists show covers on nearly full cards.
  • Restart the battery totals. On the Battery page, hold the "Since full charge" line: playing and screen-on time
    start again from now ("Since reset" until the next full charge).
  • Docs: the how-to matches the 2.5.4 Display menu, a showcase video on the website, and clearer install advice.

Installing and updating

  • Already on diskOS Disco! 1.4.1 or newer? Update from the SD card: download mq_ui, sign it with your own
    keys and copy the diskos-update folder to the card (how). Your settings, music and stats stay.
  • New install? Start from FiiO's stock V2.57 firmware (recommended). Installing over upstream diskOS or
    another diskOS build is not supported and can be buggy; restore stock first. See Install.
  • Windows: the Windows app is shared as-is and unsupported. Start from stock V2.57 there too.

After updating

  • Settings > System > About shows 2.5.5.
  • The new version starts as a trial: play some music or tap Keep to keep it. If it doesn't start properly,
    the Disc goes back to the previous version by itself, or choose Go back.
  • Something odd? Hold Volume Up from power-on to start FiiO's own interface once, and restart to come back.
Technical notes

Fonts: Noto Sans Thai (tone marks moved up, see ui/tools/gen_intl_fonts.py), Noto Sans (U+1EA0-U+1EF9), Noto Sans
CJK KR (KS X 1001 syllables, 16 px only), chained between the international fonts and CJK; about +320 KB. Built with
the GCC 11.2 MIPS toolchain; build record in payload/mq_ui.build.json. No physical-device test before release.
