v1.4.1

This is a small release that fixes the main bugs that made Radiant Player entirely unusable for a little while now. My apologies to everyone for being so unavailable, and thank you to those that provided unofficial binaries and code changes.

Fixed

• Fixed styling errors (fixes #340)
• Used new copy of Web Components fallback (fixes #352, thank you @jacobwgillespie)
• Radiant Player launches properly on OS X El Capitan

v1.4.0

At long last, the actual next version! Many thanks to all the testers of the two beta releases, and I will certainly be continuing to look into the outstanding issues that a couple users have reported. Also, very many thanks to everybody who was patiently waiting for this release ever since the Google Play Music redesign! I would have liked a much shorter release window, but hopefully this version is satisfactory enough to forgive that! Enjoy.

Added

• Support Google Play Music's latest redesign
• Add support for ⌘[ and ⌘] keyboard shortcuts to go forward and backward (fixes #296, thanks @gholts)
• Implement ⌘A (select all) shortcut (fixes #317)

Changes

• Mac OS X 10.8 is no longer supported (see #291 for progress, if any, on the possibility of re-instating support)
• Removed all styles except for Google and Black (formerly Spotify Black) due to incompatibility with the new redesign; I will be looking into porting one or two of the original styles to the new design
• Allow mini player to be used in other full screen applications (fixes #79)
• Open release page instead of home page when a new version is available

Fixed

• Prevent brief 'ghost' mini player while switching spaces (fixes #309)
• Allow reload button to be clicked when internet connectivity is lost while first loading Google Play Music (fixes #313)
• Prevent dragging of file onto main window (fixes #307, thanks @nielstholenaar)

v1.3.3.2-beta

This second beta has a few minor changes, and unless there are app-breaking bugs, the stable version will be released no later than tomorrow night. The main changes:

• Minor polish of the dark style
• Tweak stylesheet to support when songs are selected
• Re-enable ⌘A functionality to select all
• Allow reload button to be clicked when internet connectivity is lost

There was also a change that will prevent the startup crashes on Mac OS X 10.8, which have been present since v1.3.3. However, for my machine, Google Play Music does not load in Radiant Player, while it does work properly in Safari. It appears that, at least for me, the version of WebKit used by applications and the version used by Safari differ on the same machine. In order to allow the majority of users to appreciate the working version of Radiant Player, I will be releasing the next stable version while dropping official support for Mac OS X 10.8. If you are on Mountain Lion and this beta does work properly, please do contact me! I will also try to investigate in the future whether it will be possible to re-extend support to include Mac OS X 10.8.

My apologies everyone for getting this out so late! Between a family emergency and a new internship, it's been difficult to find the time to work on Radiant Player recently but I am still fully intending to support the application!

v1.3.3.1-beta

This beta release catches up to the Google Play Music redesign, along with a few other fixes. Some themes have been deprecated as they no longer work with the redesign, although I will look into porting selected ones to the new design (probably the iTunes-type styles). Currently, there is the default Google style and there is the Black style (formerly Spotify Black).

v1.3.3

My apologies! In a major oversight, I managed to include the usage of a OS X 10.10 only method which appears to be causing crashes on OS X 10.9 and below. This new version contains that fix!

It also contains a new feature, which is a preference that allows you to show the current song's album art as the dock icon! Many thanks to @matthewlloyd for that one.

v1.3.2

This release took a ridiculous amount of time, my apologies!

Many thanks to all of the contributors and users! With the creation of the beta release channel, it should be easier to get new features out to users to test without harming the experience of users who want the stable product.

Added

• Introduce release channels stable and beta, which can be changed in the Preferences menu
• New style, Light (thanks @stevenla)
• Warn user when Flash plug-in is out-of-date and blocked
• Mini player can be undocked by dragging it away from the menu

Fixed

• Dramatically improved CPU performance
• Use high-quality album art for mini-player (fixes #270)
• Fix thumbs and star ratings (fixes #245, #250, #254)
• Asynchronously load album art for notifications (fixes #262)
• Many, many others!

v1.3.1

Fixed

• The option to "Use Safari cookies" was broken in the recently released 1.3.0, so this is a quick release that fixes that bug.

v1.3.0

Radiant Player is (for the most part), Yosemite ready! There will be some problems here and there where I wasn't able to get to polishing the release for the sake of having this out before Yosemite is publicly released, so let me know about all the dents and scratches that I can work on.

My apologies that it took so long to release something, and that many of you in the beta were stuck with the pesky Library error. Please let me know if there are issues with this release on any platform!

Added

• Create Yosemite style and Spotify Black Vibrant style

Changed

• Update styles for OS X Yosemite

Fixed

• Fix separate cookie storage

v1.2.1

Many thanks to @tonybaroneee for style updates, as well as to all the contributors that reported this problem.

Fixed

• Fix bug due to Google Play Music site change that caused Radiant Player to not work correctly (see #196)

v1.2.0

Lots of new features! In this release, the project has also finally completed the transition from google-music-mac to the name radiant-player-mac.

Many thanks to @tonybaroneee, @joshgordon, @se-bastiaan, @codingismy11to7, @apfelbox, and all of the contributors and users!

Added

• Separate cookie storage from Safari by default (for OS X 10.9 and above only)
• Support 5-star rating system (in Google Play Music labs) with style fixes, 5-star rating controls in the menu and in the mini player
• Show playing status in mini player's icon
• Optionally use Growl notifications instead of Notification Center if Growl is available
• Pause music when system sleeps

Fixed

• Prevent usage of discrete GPU (fixes #142)
• Fix bugs related to application of navigation features and account information (fixes #151, #157, #158)
• Fix bugs related to erratic movement of Radiant Player window when dragging (fixes #168)
• Prevent full screen when in no-dock-icon mode (fixes #152, #153)
• Fix title bar text colors of certain styles (fixes #135)
