  • Updated zlib to v1.3.

2023-08-18

  • Added built-in Converter profile for TAK.

2023-08-11

  • Fixed a race condition bug sometimes causing a slight delay before now playing track info appears.

2023-08-01

  • Made possible to sort & reorder radio bookmarks.
  • Improved behavior of programmatically opening advanced preferences branches.
  • Fixed radio search regression, radio-browser link works again.

2023-07-20

  • Bumped radiobrowser allowed JSON size, 4MB in last build wasn't good enough for all radio stations returned for some criteria.
  • Removed WebDAV folder listing support. It was causing endless bugs in HTTP reader (no obvious way to tell if WebDAV is supported on some URL or not). Will be restored along with ability to add WebDAV folders to library, and restricted to known WebDAV locations.
  • Crash log writer added timestamps to recent events.

2023-07-19

  • Added 32-bit build for 32-bit people.
  • Fixed non-working extraction of .RSN (renamed .RAR).
  • ReFacets layout fixes.

2023-05-09

  • Public beta versions are now called "preview" and have dates instead of numbers.

  • libopus v1.4
  • Made libFLAC and libopus versions shown in components list.
  • Improved FTP playback & listing, fewer connections used.
  • Made FLAC seektable tool also rewrite oversized seektables.
  • Fixes to startup "new UI detected" dialog, obeys system dark mode as foobar2000 UI isn't running yet.
