* docs(whats-new): refresh 1.48.0 highlights for release screen Reorder and expand user-facing copy to match CHANGELOG Added order, add Music Network and Live, drop stale About/licenses line, replace the vague Fixed placeholder with grouped fixes, and add a short Under the hood section for significant non-UI work. * docs(whats-new): order 1.48 sections by user impact Sort Highlights, Fixed groups, and bullets within each block so the most noticeable changes for everyday use appear first. * docs: CHANGELOG 1.48 strict PR order; clarify WHATS_NEW sorting Reorder Added/Changed/Fixed entries in CHANGELOG [1.48.0] by ascending PR number. WHATS_NEW keeps impact-based order; add a maintainer note that the two files intentionally differ.

# What's New
|
|
|
|
User-facing release highlights for the in-app **What's New** screen. Maintainers refresh the
|
|
current line before promoting to `next` / `release`. Technical details and PR credits stay in
|
|
`CHANGELOG.md`.
|
|
|
|
Within each section, order by **user impact** (most noticeable first) — not PR merge order.
|
|
`CHANGELOG.md` keeps strict PR order inside Added / Changed / Fixed.
|
|
|
|
## [1.48.0]
|
|
|
|
## Highlights
|
|
|
|
### Offline listening
|
|
|
|
- When the server is unreachable, browse and detail pages show what you already have locally instead of empty errors — albums, artists, playlists, and cross-server favorites.
|
|
- Starred tracks, pinned albums, and playlists live under one **media** folder; browse them in **Offline Library** and see disk usage at a glance.
|
|
- **Favorites auto-sync** keeps loved songs on disk; pinned albums and playlists refresh when the library index updates.
|
|
|
|
### Music Network — scrobble beyond Last.fm
|
|
|
|
- **Settings → Integrations** now hosts a **Music Network**: connect **Last.fm**, **Libre.fm**, **ListenBrainz**, **Maloja**, **Rocksky**, **Koito**, or your own **GNU FM** instance — and scrobble to several at once.
|
|
- Pick a **primary** service for loved tracks, similar artists, and stats; other connections still receive scrobbles. Your existing Last.fm setup migrates automatically.
|
|
- A master switch turns the whole network on or off.
|
|
|
|
### Theme Store
|
|
|
|
- Browse and install community themes from **Settings → Themes** — search, dark/light filter, full-size previews, and sort by popularity or date.
|
|
- Six palettes ship with the app; everything else installs on demand and works offline after the first download.
|
|
- **Now Playing** follows every theme cleanly, including light palettes.
|
|
- Import a theme from a local `.zip` when you have a package from a friend or your own design.
|
|
- The sidebar nudges you when an installed theme has an update; one-click update from the theme card.
|
|
|
|
### Fullscreen player
|
|
|
|
- Rebuilt for much lower CPU and memory use: a calm, sharp fullscreen view with album art, waveform seekbar, up-next queue, synced lyrics, ratings, and a clock that follows your **Clock format** setting.
|
|
- The song title no longer shows a leading track number, and descenders (g, j, p, q, y) are no longer clipped.
|
|
|
|
### Live — richer now playing on Navidrome 0.62+
|
|
|
|
- On servers with OpenSubsonic **playbackReport** (Navidrome ≥ 0.62), **Live** shows who is playing or paused, how far into the track they are, and playback speed when another client sends it — with smooth position updates between refreshes.
|
|
|
|
### Queue — Timeline mode
|
|
|
|
- A third queue layout keeps the current track in the middle with history above and up next below — great for long listening sessions. Cycle the header control or pick it in **Settings → Personalisation → Queue display**.
|
|
|
|
### Settings → Servers
|
|
|
|
- Each card shows the server software and version (e.g. **Navidrome 0.62.0**) under the name, with a cleaner two-line layout and compact actions.
|
|
- Navidrome **0.62+** shows a green **AudioMuse-AI** badge when the plugin is detected — no manual toggle on current Navidrome.
|
|
|
|
### Sidebar — pin Now Playing to the top
|
|
|
|
- New **Settings → Sidebar** toggle moves **Now Playing** to the top of the sidebar instead of the bottom (off by default).
|
|
|
|
### Startup
|
|
|
|
- A themed loading splash appears while the app starts — colours follow your active theme, including community palettes.
|
|
|
|
### What's New page
|
|
|
|
- Highlights like this list load from the release on startup (and cache for offline). A **Full changelog** tab on the same page holds the technical detail.
|
|
|
|
## Improved
|
|
|
|
- Audio decoding runs on **Symphonia 0.6**; streams start sooner and recover from stalls without restarting the player.
|
|
- The **Preload Next Track** toggle under **Settings → Storage → Buffering** is gone — playback no longer waits on that extra RAM prefetch. Gapless, crossfade, and Hot Cache behave as before.
|
|
|
|
## Fixed
|
|
|
|
### Playback and audio
|
|
|
|
- **Windows:** the app no longer keeps the audio device open while idle, so the system can sleep when music is not playing.
|
|
- **macOS:** steady playback stutter from background device polling is gone on the default output path.
|
|
- After a long pause, the seekbar shows the saved position immediately and the next **Play** resumes without an audible blip at track start.
|
|
- **Stop** keeps the real waveform on the seekbar instead of falling back to flat bars.
|
|
|
|
### Offline, Now Playing, and Navidrome
|
|
|
|
- Now Playing cards (**from this album**, discography, most played) stay populated during cached and offline playback instead of blanking out on track change.
|
|
- Navidrome **Show in Now Playing** and play-count scrobbles work when audio plays from hot cache, offline pins, or auto-synced favorites.
|
|
- Mixed-server queues still report to the correct Navidrome server.
|
|
|
|
### Themes and integrations
|
|
|
|
- Favoriting from the player bar, fullscreen player, or shortcuts updates the star in track lists and playlists immediately.
|
|
- Discord Rich Presence shows album art again when covers come from the server.
|
|
- Focus rings and dropdown borders follow the active theme consistently.
|
|
|
|
### Browse and library
|
|
|
|
- Tracks tagged with several genres in one field (e.g. `Metal/Ambient/Experimental`) match **each genre** again in browse, filters, and search.
|
|
- **All Albums → Only compilations** returns results for common tagging patterns.
|
|
- Album grids show the album artist on compilations instead of a random track artist.
|
|
- Song rails (**Random Picks**, **Discover Songs**, etc.) link each name in multi-artist credits separately.
|
|
- **Artist → Top Tracks** play works even when the artist page has no albums loaded yet.
|
|
- **Home → Most Played** no longer jumps the page when you load more albums.
|
|
- **Mainstage** hero backdrop stays in sync when you skip albums quickly.
|
|
|
|
### Other
|
|
|
|
- **Linux:** the `curl | bash` auto-installer works again.
|
|
- **Linux:** internet radio no longer appears twice in the desktop now-playing overlay.
|
|
- The active server card under **Settings → Servers** draws a complete border on all sides.
|
|
|
|
## Under the hood
|
|
|
|
- Navidrome **0.62+** auto-detects **AudioMuse-AI** and routes Instant Mix / Lucky Mix through the smarter API when the plugin is present — older Navidrome keeps the manual toggle you already know.
|
|
- Future release highlights can refresh on the **What's New** page without waiting for a full app update download.
