2.6.01
Less resource-hungry mechanism for detecting idle time for screensaver invocation

NB. This version had a temporary glitch in patch 0 which meant it could invoke many savers overlaying each other! Fixed in patch 1 and later version releases.

Occasionally show secondary artist's image in screen saver background (eg. performer, band, composer)
Ensure manual saver(s) closed on main window closure.

2.6.06

No longer attempt to auto-fetch lyrics (licencing restrictions prohibit full lyrics being served).
  • instead offer search button and ability to input & edit lyrics/track notes in the track page.
  • thus users can source and input their own lyrics, or add track notes.
  • edited lyrics/notes can contain html markup.

Add track enqueue icon to track listings on album and artist pages - these follow the standard modifier key convention

Change the track name click function to offer another way to go to the track page.
  • thus ANY track can be the focus of the Track page, not just the playing track (only the playing track will show the timeline or react to track transitions, however).
  • add play/enqueue buttons to track page
  • track name still supports right-click context menu
