rmptui/CHANGELOG.md

Unreleased

• / search now works like ncmpcpp's: a case-insensitive regular expression matched anywhere in the item, instead of fuzzy matching. Invalid (half-typed) patterns are matched literally.

v0.2.0

A rewrite from scratch with a new architecture modelled on ncmpcpp and rmpc.

• New screens: Media Library (artists → albums → songs), Tag Editor, ncmpcpp-style Visualizer (wave, filled wave, spectrum and ellipse, in stereo, from an MPD fifo output) and synced Lyrics (local .lrc files, cache and LRCLIB), plus a lyrics pane on the queue.
• Browser shows stored playlists at the bottom of the root folder; playlist editor, queue and browser keep every 0.1 feature.
• MPD I/O runs in background tasks; key presses never wait for the server, and the client reconnects automatically. Unix sockets are supported.
• Marks (v) for acting on several items, fuzzy search on every list, confirmation before clearing the queue or deleting playlists, a key help popup (?) and mouse support (select, double-click, wheel, tabs, seek).
• New configuration format with per-context key bindings, a theme, queue columns and lyrics/visualizer settings. The documented default file is the single source of truth; partial files keep all other defaults. 0.1 config files are detected and rejected with instructions.
• ncmpcpp-style interface: screen title and volume on top, column headers, folders spanning the whole row, reverse-video selection and a Playing: "Title" by Artist in Album status line under the progress bar.
• The tag editor follows ncmpcpp (directories, tag types, tags) and can also rename files and fix letter case.
• The music directory is read from the local mpd.conf when MPD runs on the same machine.
• c clears the queue from every screen.
• New --config and --print-default-config options; RMPTUI_LOG sets the log level.

v0.1.7

• Replace the outdated MPD crate with an asynchronous native MPD TCP protocol client and idle-based server updates.
• Preserve and improve browser search with fuzzy result cycling using n/N, and render directory names across the full browser row.
• Add a first-run TOML configuration for MPD connection details, playback adjustments, and configurable keybindings, with documented defaults and environment-variable overrides.
• Add playlist management in the Playlists view: focus playlist contents, load playlists, play individual tracks, remove/reorder songs, and rename or delete playlists.
• Add a local install/uninstall script for the release executable.
• Remove dmenu support and document the async architecture, configuration, keybindings, installation, and playlist controls.
• Refactor application state and browser entries, remove unused helpers, and improve terminal restoration and MPD address handling.
• Add and update tests for MPD protocol commands, configuration, search, browser rendering, and address formatting.

v0.1.6

- Add songs to new playlist feature
- Code refactoring
- fix #9
