CHANGELOG.md · rmptui

rmptui-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, spectrum Visualizer (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.
New --config and --print-default-config options; RMPTUI_LOG sets the log level.

Replace the outdated MPD crate with an asynchronous native MPD TCP protocol client and idle-based server updates.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.
