  BearWave 1.3.0 Stable

  spalencsar released this 2026-08-10 17:29:13 +02:00 | 3 commits to main since this release

  Major multi-desktop UI release: universal Linux positioning, Now Playing stage,
  responsive transport, My stations, and a redesigned station list.

  Added

  • System light/dark appearance (xdg-desktop-portal, gsettings, Qt style hints,
    optional shell session files). Override with BEARWAVE_THEME=light|dark.
  • Now Playing stage (right column): active stream only, large artwork,
    current/previous track cards, session track history from ICY metadata
    (max 30, deduped; cleared on stop/station change).
  • My stations library for manually added streams
    (~/.config/bearwave/my_stations.json), separate from Favorites; edit and
    remove; country via localized dropdown.
  • Shared monochrome MediaIcon / IconButton set (no emoji chrome).
  • Shared PlayerTransport used by stage dock and bottom bar.
  • Three transport layouts driven by window size:
    • wide + tall (width ≥ 1240, height ≥ 960): transport dock in the stage
    • wide + short (e.g. 1440×900): stage keeps Now Playing (compact cover);
      bottom strip is transport-only
    • narrow (width < 1240): full bottom player bar with station meta

  Changed

  • Product framing: Qt 6 Linux desktop app (not KDE-only, not tied to a
    compositor or shell). About, AppStream, desktop entry, README, packaging.
  • Flatpak: keep org.kde.Platform/Sdk 6.10 as the official Qt stack on
    Flathub; document that this is not a Plasma requirement. Finish-args and
    cleanup tidied.
  • Control D-Bus interface: org.kde.BearWave.Control →
    de.nerdbear.BearWave.Control.
  • Desktop entry drops FreeDesktop KDE category; German Comment/Keywords.
  • Radio Browser HTTP User-Agent: BearWave/<version>.
  • Outside KDE sessions: Fusion Quick Controls, no KDE platform theme,
    frameless client chrome with BearTheme drag (startSystemMove).
  • Left sidebar restyled (Browse / Library, DE·NL chips, monochrome icons).
  • Station list: card layout, meta chips, Live marker, header with count,
    clearer empty states; single-click plays.
  • Add/Edit station dialogs restyled to BearTheme.
  • Responsive layout: detail column below ~1240px width; list margins keep
    card borders clear of the stage edge.

  Fixed

  • Live streams no longer stick on Buffering… while audio is already
    playing (Qt BufferingMedia on radio).
  • ICY metadata: force HTTP/1.1 (HTTP/2 breaks metaint), wait for headers,
    abort cleanly when a stream has no titles, broader StreamTitle parsing.
  • Light mode when the desktop prefers light but Qt alone stayed dark.
  • Arch packaging: qt6-tools makedepend; drop unused extra-cmake-modules.
  • Flatpak: persist favorites, My stations, and state via XDG config/cache
    paths (GenericConfigLocation / GenericCacheLocation) instead of a hard-coded
    ~/.config/bearwave under $HOME, which the sandbox cannot write without
    overrides (#7). Optional
    one-shot migration from the legacy host path when the new dir is empty.
