Added Square corners — sharp-edged cards and covers By @Psychotoxical, PR #1215

• New Square Corners toggle under Settings → Appearance → Visual Options → Display overrides the active theme to render cards and cover art with square, non-rounded corners. Covers album, playlist, artist and song cards, detail-page cover art, the Now Playing / Radio and fullscreen views, the cover lightbox, the queue cover, and the mini player. Off by default; buttons, inputs and dialogs keep the theme's corners. Discord community banner By @ImAsra, PR #1222
• A dismissible banner inviting you to join the Psysonic community on Discord appears after 20 hours of accumulated app use. Join opens the invite; dismiss it for the session, or choose Never show again to hide it permanently. The icon renders at a consistent size on every platform, including Windows. Bulgarian translation By @akirichev, PR #1228
• Full Bulgarian (Български) UI translation — selectable from the language picker on the Settings and Login screens. Artists browse — album vs track credit mode By @cucadmuh, PR #1232
• Toggle Album artists vs Track artists on the Artists page — album mode lists indexed album artists; track mode includes performers from the local artist index (featured/guest credits). Star filter works in both modes; the choice persists across app restarts like Show artist images.
• Letter bucket filter (A–Z, #, OTHER) runs in local SQL instead of scanning catalog chunks client-side, so late-alphabet picks load promptly on large libraries.
• Artist name search no longer depends on query letter case for Cyrillic (and other non-ASCII) names when the local library index is enabled. CLI — relative volume and quieter scripting output By @cucadmuh, PR #1238
• psysonic --player volume +5 / volume -10 adjust the current level by that many percent; volume 80 still sets an absolute level (use -q before --player when the delta is negative so it is not parsed as a flag).
• CLI invocations no longer print WebKit/NVIDIA workaround notes on stderr; on Linux, remote --player forwarding runs before WebKit startup so helper processes exit with less noise. Theme Store — per-theme changelogs and pinned updates By @Psychotoxical, PR #1240
• Each theme card now has an expandable What's new with per-version release notes, so you can see what a theme update changed — including non-visual fixes. Provided by theme authors; themes without notes just don't show the section.
• Installed themes with an available update now appear at the top of the store list instead of wherever the sort placed them, so you don't have to hunt for them. Multi-library filter — browse and search across selected libraries By @cucadmuh, PR #1241
• The sidebar library picker now supports multi-select with priority ordering: browse, search, genre and album/artist detail views aggregate across the chosen libraries and de-duplicate shared items by priority. Built for large libraries — scoped SQL uses the hot library_id column with covering indexes and FTS-first matching.
• Identity matching that powers cross-library de-duplication now normalises names per shipped locale (folds German ß, Norwegian æ, French œ, Romanian ș/ț, and Cyrillic ё/й); CJK titles are matched as-is.
• The Genres page and album browse genre filter list the full catalog on large libraries when All libraries is selected. Theme contributors credited in Settings By @Psychotoxical, PR #1248
• Settings → System → Contributors now lists community theme authors in a Themes sub-section alongside the App contributors, pulled from the theme store so it stays current as new themes are published.
• The theme card What's new now shows just the latest version's notes instead of the full version history.
• Theme author names refresh quietly from the store in the background instead of staying stale for up to 12 hours. Fullscreen player — Minimal and Immersive styles By @Psychotoxical, PR #1249
• Settings → Appearance → Fullscreen player style lets you choose Minimal (the current view) or Immersive — the earlier fullscreen player, with the artist photo/backdrop, a cover-derived accent colour, and rail or Apple-style scrolling lyrics.
• In Immersive, Show artist photo and Photo dimming are configurable; Apple-style lyrics show the artist image as a dimmed full-screen backdrop. Italian translation By @daquino94, PR #1250
• Full Italian (Italiano) UI translation — selectable from the language picker on the Settings and Login screens. Fullscreen player — Prism style By @Psychotoxical, PR #1251
• A third Fullscreen player style, Prism — a full-bleed artist backdrop with a floating glass lyrics panel on the right and a single glass control bar at the bottom (transport, a centred now-playing pill with an integrated progress line, and utilities). The cover-derived accent colour drives the progress fill and the active lyric line, and upcoming lyric lines fade out with a progressive blur. Lyrics — word-by-word highlighting straight from your server By @Psychotoxical, PR #1265
• The Server lyrics source now highlights lyrics word by word, so karaoke sync no longer depends on the third-party YouLyPlus backend. Requires Navidrome 0.63 or newer and lyrics that carry word timing (TTML or Enhanced LRC); anything else keeps highlighting line by line.
• Settings → Lyrics → Lyrics Sources spells out those requirements, and the block now follows the standard settings sub-card layout.
• Embedded Enhanced LRC no longer prints raw word timing codes (<00:12.34>) in the lyric text — those codes drive word-by-word highlighting instead.
• FLAC, Ogg Vorbis, Opus and Speex files that store synced lyrics in the SYNCEDLYRICS tag show embedded lyrics again, with that tag taking priority over the plain LYRICS tag. Start minimized to tray By @cucadmuh, PR #1271
• New Start Minimized to Tray toggle under Settings → System → Behavior. When enabled, the next cold start keeps the main window hidden and Psysonic runs from the system tray until you show it from the tray icon.
• Requires Show Tray Icon (turning this on enables the tray automatically; hiding the tray clears the setting). The choice applies on the next launch only — toggling it in Settings does not hide the window immediately.
• Opening the main window from the tray after a cold start renders the sidebar and main content immediately — including on Linux tiling WMs such as Hyprland — instead of leaving the sidebar or Mainstage invisible or blank until a restart. Navidrome public share links — open and play without logging in By @cucadmuh, PR #1275
• Paste or search a Navidrome public share URL (/share/{id}) to preview the shared track list in a modal, then play the full queue with no server account — direct stream and cover URLs are resolved anonymously from the share page.
• Share playback uses a dedicated scope so an idle server play-queue pull cannot replace the share queue while you are also logged into Navidrome. Share sessions are not restored after an app restart — the server play queue applies as usual.
• While a share queue is active, Save Playlist is hidden in the queue toolbar (share tracks cannot be saved to the server); Load Playlist stays available. The queue Share button copies the original Navidrome /share/{id} page URL. Track lists — optional album cover thumbnails By @cucadmuh, PR #1280
• Browse and queue track rows can show the track's album cover (per-disc art when the album has distinct disc covers). Covers load through the standard cover cache pipeline — library resolve, viewport ensure, Rust resize to disk tiers — not a separate warm path.
• Settings → Appearance adds separate toggles for queue vs browse tracklists. Favorites, playlist, and album-detail track grids gain a flex-resize handle on the title column when covers are shown.
• Album detail pages skip per-row cover thumbs when the album art is already shown above the list — no duplicate image on every line. Discord — server cover art source, without the credential leak By @Psychotoxical, PR #1299
• Settings → Integrations → Discord → Cover art source gets a Server option, alongside None and Apple Music. It resolves artwork through the standard Subsonic getAlbumInfo2 endpoint's public image link — never an authenticated cover URL that could expose your login credentials (reported by lavioso on Discord). Needs a publicly reachable server; anyone viewing your Discord profile can see that server's public address, but nothing else. Playlist cards — play and queue from the right-click menu By @Psychotoxical, PR #1307
• Right-clicking a playlist card now offers Play next and Add to queue alongside Play now, matching the album card. All three honour offline mode and the active multi-library filter. Playlists browse — scoped header search By @cucadmuh, PR #1308
• The header search field on the Playlists page now filters the list by playlist name (same scoped badge pattern as Artists / Albums), including in folder view. Artist page — add the whole discography to the queue By @Psychotoxical, PR #1321
• A new queue button on the artist page appends the artist's entire discography to the current queue in one click, next to Play all and Shuffle — matching what album pages already offer. Changed Frontend restructure — feature-folder architecture and hardening By @Psychotoxical, with additional architecture by @cucadmuh, PR #1225
• Reorganised the frontend into a feature-folder architecture with a CI-enforced layering guard, added unit + behavior-scenario + boot-smoke test coverage, and introduced a compile-time frontend/backend IPC contract via tauri-specta. Internal only — no change to how the app looks or behaves. Typed-IPC contract — completed the tauri-specta cutover By @Psychotoxical, with additional architecture by @cucadmuh, PR #1230
