Better track information
- The player now shows the file type (extension) and estimated bitrate alongside the currently playing track.

Improved releases

pacman -U. - Release files are now named with the version and architecture, making it clear what you're downloading.

What's New

0.1.2 Stable
released this
2026-01-24 00:23:29 +11:00 | 95 commits to master since this releaseRelease Notes: UI Code Refactoring and Readability Improvements
This update focuses on improving the maintainability and readability of the application's core UI logic. By refactoring the main interface rendering loop, we have laid a cleaner foundation for future feature development and easier debugging.
🛠 Technical Improvements
- Modular UI Components: The large monolithic
updatefunction insrc/main.rshas been decomposed into smaller, specialized methods within theMediaPlayerstruct. This separation makes the UI structure much easier to follow and maintain. - New Internal UI Methods:
ui_top_panel: Dedicated logic for playlist management actions (Add Files, Add Folder, Clear, Save).ui_metadata_area: Encapsulates the track information display and cover art rendering.ui_controls: Isolated playback control logic (Play/Pause, Skip, Shuffle).ui_seek_and_volume: Handles the progress slider, time stamps, and volume control.ui_playlist: Manages the scroll-able list of tracks and track selection logic.ui_about_window: Separated the "About" information window into its own focused method.
📈 Developer Impact
- Improved Readability: Navigating the UI code is now significantly faster as each section is clearly labeled and contained.
- Easier Debugging: Issues related to specific UI components can now be isolated to their respective methods.
- Foundation for Future Features: Adding new UI elements or modifying existing ones is now more straightforward due to the modular architecture.
*No user-facing functionality changes were introduced in this release;
