v0.21.0

▶️ Video Playback

• Dedicated video player — watch music videos fullscreen or minimized to the player bar
• HLS streaming — playback starts at your selected quality and adapts down when bandwidth drops
• Restored on relaunch — a playing video is restored to the player bar across restarts

🔀 One Queue for Videos and Tracks

• Unified queue — videos and tracks share a single queue; previous/next, shuffle, repeat, autoplay, and history all work across both
• Context-aware — playing a video queues the rest of its context

🎛️ Player Controls

• Full transport — play/pause, previous/next, shuffle, and repeat
• Video controls — quality selector, volume, favorite, fullscreen, and minimize
• Control videos from anywhere — the system tray, MPRIS media keys, floating miniplayer, and in-app keyboard shortcut all drive video playback

❤️ Favorite Videos

• Heart your videos — favorite music videos, kept separate from your track favorites, reflected across every surface

💜 Loved Page — Tracks & Videos Tabs

• New Videos tab — the Loved Tracks page gains a Videos tab with a paginated, searchable grid
• Tab-aware actions — Play and Shuffle act on the selected tab; playing queues the rest

🎵 Videos in Playlists

• Mixed playlists — add videos to playlists; mixed video and track playlists render correctly with accurate "N Videos · M Tracks" counts

🔍 Explore & Search

• Video rows on Explore — Featured playlist promos and 16:9 video cards; Featured promos open their linked content
• Video search — a Videos section in All Results, a dedicated Videos tab, and video rows in Top Hits

v0.20.0

👤 Profiles

• View your profile page — avatar, bio, social links, and your public playlists.
• Edit your profile in-app: write a bio, add social/brand links, and upload & crop an avatar (or remove it).
• Public playlists appear as a horizontal scrolling row with a "View all" page.
• Your avatar now shows in the account menu — click your name to jump to your profile.

⚙️ Redesigned Settings

• Settings is now a single centered window with a grouped sidebar instead of scattered modals.
• Organized into tabs: Playback, Themes, Discord, Network, MCP, Scrobbling, General, and Utilities.
• Themes, scrobbling, and gapless controls all moved into Settings; the old standalone dialogs are gone.
• Title-bar / window decoration options are now a clear radio list.
• Reveal the log folder directly from Utilities for easier troubleshooting.

🎨 Themes

• Three new presets — Noir, Meadow, and Blossom.
• A custom in-app color picker with a live "app in miniature" preview, so you can see changes before applying.
• Preset tiles redesigned as surface swatches with accent and background dots.

🔊 Streaming Quality

• Set a maximum streaming quality ceiling in Playback settings — SONE never requests above it.
• Album quality badges now correctly read Hi-Res Lossless from the stream.

🖼️ Cover Art & Page Design

• Full-width cover-art banners with a theme-aware blur sit behind album, playlist, mix, and artist headers.
• Animated Album Cover — album covers gently animate in the drawer, fullscreen view, and on the album page.
• Album, playlist, artist, and mix headers redesigned — artist image, quality tag, creator line, total duration, and clearly labelled action buttons.
• Full-bleed artist hero with fan count and progressive image loading.
• An animated "Living Heart" banner on the Loved Tracks header.
• Matching skeleton loaders across all redesigned pages for smoother loads.

🔌 MCP, Network & Discord

• MCP tab shows full connection details with a portable config you can copy; your token is masked in the URL.
• Network tab adds an endpoint builder with a live connection status banner.
• Discord tab adds tags and a live presence preview.

🐛 Fixes

• Logging out now fully tears down your session — audio, scrobbling, Discord, and MCP — and clears all cross-account state. Logging back in restores Discord/MCP and refreshes your region.
• Playing a recommended track from a playlist now queues those recommendations as their own source, not the playlist's own tracks.
• The shuffle button on album/playlist/mix pages no longer flips your global shuffle mode.
• Repeat-all now preserves play history on source-backed playlists.
• Playback position stays correct on pause/resume, track load, and miniplayer sync.
• The favorite button is hidden on playlists you created, which now show your profile name as the creator.
• API error details are surfaced in readable toasts instead of raw response bodies.
• Sensitive data is redacted from session-refresh logs.
• Disabled the WebKitGTK DMA-BUF renderer on NVIDIA (X11 and Wayland) to fix rendering glitches.

📦 Packaging

• New Snap package (core24) with working rendering, GPU acceleration, MPRIS, and screen-inhibit support.

📦 Install via repository (auto-updates with your system)

Add the SONE repository once and apt upgrade / dnf upgrade / zypper up will keep it current. The setup script auto-detects your distro and imports the signing key.

Debian / Ubuntu (apt)

curl -1sLf 'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/lullabyx/sone/setup.deb.sh' | sudo -E bash
sudo apt install sone

Derivatives (Kubuntu, Linux Mint, Pop!_OS, Zorin, MX, LMDE) use the same command.

Fedora (dnf)

curl -1sLf 'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/lullabyx/sone/setup.rpm.sh' | sudo -E bash
sudo dnf install sone

openSUSE (zypper)

curl -1sLf 'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/lullabyx/sone/setup.rpm.sh' | sudo -E bash
sudo zypper install sone

v0.19.0

🎵 Gapless Playback

• Seamless, silence-free transitions between tracks in normal output mode — on by default. Requires GStreamer 1.24+ and falls back automatically when unavailable.

🏠 Home

• Home page is now organized into tabs, with magazine-style cards and quick deep-link shortcuts.
• Remembers your last-used tab, with skeleton placeholders and a fade-in while loading.

▶ Now Playing

• Album cover gently tilts toward your cursor with a true-perspective 3D effect.
• Tap the time display to switch between total duration and time remaining.
• Adjust volume by scrolling the mouse wheel over the volume control.

💤 Keep Awake

• Your screen no longer sleeps or blanks while music is playing — across X11, Wayland, and D-Bus/portal desktops.

📡 Scrobbling

• Sends the primary artist, plus MusicBrainz artist IDs when available, to Last.fm, Libre.fm, and ListenBrainz for more accurate matching.

🔔 Updates

• A gentle toast lets you know when a new version of SONE is available.

📝 Logging

• Disk logs now capture more detail by default and keep more history (~50MB), making bug reports and troubleshooting easier.

🐛 Fixes

• Support for DACs with a fixed channel count, via automatic channel negotiation and a stereo mix matrix.
• Exclusive and bit-perfect output now correctly resolve ALSA plugin devices (front:, hdmi:) to the right sound card.
• Signal Path now classifies bit-depth widening as lossless instead of lossy.
• Player overlays close properly on navigation and browser back/forward.
• Miniplayer: clicking the album art focuses the main window, and clicking the track title opens the album.
• "Go to track radio" works even when a track has no associated mix.
• Smoother loading on long "View all" lists with incremental pagination.

v0.18.0

🔌 MCP server

SONE now ships an embedded Model Context Protocol server (streamable-HTTP, port 5577) so external agents like Claude Code can drive your library and playback.

• Search, favorites, playlists (full CRUD), now-playing, queue, lyrics
• Playback control: play / pause / next / seek / volume / shuffle / queue
• Settings tab with live enable toggle and token regeneration
• Off by default; stateless transport survives SONE restarts

🔬 Signal Path transparency

A new panel that shows exactly what your audio is going through, end to end. Open it by clicking the format/quality badge next to the now-playing track.

• Probes the live GStreamer pipeline including autoaudiosink children
• Maps pactl sink → ALSA card and surfaces OS mixer as a cable alteration
• PRISTINE verdict based on audio-bit integrity, not just bit-perfect mode
• Expand-to-flow-diagram view with friendly DAC names

What SONE reads from your system to build this view:

• GStreamer pad caps on the live playback pipeline
• pactl info output (default sink name, volume, mute)
• /proc/asound/*/pcm*/sub*/hw_params for the active ALSA card
• Nothing is sent off-device.

💬 Themed tooltips

Native browser tooltips are gone — replaced with a themed TooltipLayer that matches the rest of the UI.

🐛 Bug fixes

• Bit-perfect mode now forces unity volume and disables normalization
• Truthful bit-depth promotion toast
• Skip metadata-unavailable tracks instead of stalling
• Custom title bar restored on login and auth-check screens

Build & packaging

• Migrated package manager from npm to pnpm (Node 22+ required) — moving away from npm in light of recent supply-chain incidents in the npm ecosystem; pnpm's stricter dependency resolution, content-addressed store, and lockfile integrity give us a safer install pipeline
• Tauri JS ↔ Rust pinned to 2.11.x
• Arch PKGBUILD: libpulse / pulseaudio-utils added for pactl
