v2.8.0-rc.1

Important

Treat this as a pre-release for the next version. This will only be available as an APK download as this is mainly to test for bugs for the latest features.

This should be sent for review to Google Play in ~1 week, giving enough time for some last minute translation updates and bug fixes (if they get reported).

🛠️ Fixes

  • Using the "Rescan" feature (Settings > Scanning > Rescan) should be enough to get those tracks discovered.

❗ Breaking/Important Changes

• Tracks & Albums may not have a year when upgrading from a version older than v2.4.0.
  • This is because we've removed the old releaseYear field for Albums, meaning the data migration will no longer be available.
  • If you're on a version older than v2.4.0 and installed the app via an APK via the GitHub repository, install the previous version v2.7.0, then update to this version.
  • If you're on a version older than v2.4.0 and installed the app via Google Play, then it's recommended to re-install the app to ensure there's no unexpected issues caused by the data migration no longer being available (this will cause all existing data to be deleted).

🧪 Experimental Features

• Experimental support for smoother playback transitions (basically pre-v2.7.0 behavior).
  • Active by default and no translations as we plan on making this the default behavior.
• Improved waveform implementation, now with caching (meaning there shouldn't be a delay with getting the waveform for a track when we play it again).
  • Also reduced app size by ~4 MB by changing how we get the waveform data.
