Polaris v0.11.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2020-01-01 // about 4 years ago
  • Server

    • Compatible with current versions of the Rust nightly compiler
    • πŸ›  Fixed a rare crash when indexing corrupted mp3 files
    • 🐧 On Linux, Polaris now notifies systemd after starting up
    • πŸš€ Release tarball for Linux version now includes a top-level directory
    • πŸ‘‰ User sessions no longer break across server restarts (more improvements still to do on this: #36)
    • πŸ’» ⚠️Breaking change: due to improvements in Polaris credentials management, you will have to re-create your users and playlists after upgrading to this version. If you want to preserve your playlists, you can use a program like DB Browser for SQLite to back up your playlists (from db.sqlite within your Polaris installation directory) and restore them after you re-create users with the same names.

    🌐 Web client

    • Song durations are now listed when available
    • πŸ›  Fixed a bug where clicking on breadcrumbs did not always work when the Polaris server is hosted on Windows
    • πŸ’» Current track info now shows in browser tab title
    • πŸ›  Fixed a semi-rare bug where indexing would not start during initial setup flow
    • πŸ‘Œ Improved handling of untagged songs
    • πŸ›  Fixed a bug where playlist had padding in Chrome
    • πŸ›  Fixed a bug where folder icons did not render on some systems
