v6.8.0

Welcome to v6.8.0! Here are the main changes in this release:

Warning: Once you upgrade to v6.8.0 you cannot downgrade to an earlier version without deleting the application save data.

Reloaded Feature: Shuffle Lockdown

Sometimes having too many options distracts you from your music. Shuffle lockdown helps to force to you explore your music library by removing many player controls. Give it a try, you might be surprised!

You can enter this mode from the shuffle button context menu.

More window control options

Controls can now appear on the left side. Tauon will apply the position based on system settings.

macOS style window controls can now be used. Hardcoded support for matching various themes is now possible too. Example: Dracula

Other news

Snap users: I now consider the Snap version to be deprecated and will no longer be updating it. It seems to me there's a clear winner in the Snap vs Flatpak race. With a declining number of new Ubuntu users there doesn't seem much benefit in maintaining Snap support.

Packagers: A new python dependency has been added: natsort
