Small release to fix a few issues.

Fixed

• Fixed "Exit to Tray" behavior on Windows/Linux (#430)
• Fixed an issue where the player would spam the server with requests when playing a song that requires transcoding (Subsonic)

0.15.4 is here!

Hello everyone, It's been a while since the last update! This will be the final feature release for Sonixd. Starting from 0.15.4, this project will be entering maintenance mode, with only major bug fixes or maintenance patches being released moving forwards (unless someone else wants to become a maintainer and push new features).

I want to give a huge thanks to all the contributors and users over the past 2 years who have helped bring Sonixd to where it is today.

Sonixd Rewrite (Feishin)

I have been working on a full rewrite of the application for the last few months and have found it's no longer feasible for me to work on both simultaneously. If you have a feature request that I was never able to get to in Sonixd, feel free to create an issue in the rewrite repository, and I will see if I can get to it this time around.

As it is still in its alpha stage, Feishin still has many bugs and is not at feature-parity with Sonixd. Notably, Feishin does not have Subsonic API support yet and only supports Navidrome and Jellyfin. Some exciting conversations have been happening between Subsonic API server owners to upgrade the API to add more features. Thus, I will be holding off on adding support until some of these upgrades are implemented.

Subsonic API servers who may be participating so far: Reference 1 - Reference 2

• Navidrome
• Gonic
• Supysonic
• LMS
• Astiga
• Ampache
• Airsonic Advanced (?)

If you want to continue to follow along with Feishin's development, feel free to join either the Discord or Matrix servers (both are bridged together).

Full Changelog: v0.15.0...v0.15.1

0.15.0 is here! This release targets quite a few QoL changes as well as a number of bug fixes. As most core features are now in place, development will probably shift in a different direction. There are a number of features that I want to add, which with the app in the current state would be quite difficult. Admittedly, I started this project to teach myself JS and web development and the codebase reflects as such. I will be working on a (full?) rewrite of the frontend which will eventually be targeted towards v1.0.0.

I am also open to change the application branding (logo) for the v1.0.0 release, so if any community members out there want to contribute a design, I am open to all options! Thank you all for sticking along with me on this journey, and hope for your continued support!
