ENHANCEMENTS

• Updated codebase to Swift 5

• Unsupported DST encoded DSD and DTS encoded WAV files will now show proper Unsupported Codec error messages
• added an alternate fallback method for Automatic Sample Rate Switching for stubborn DACs (Colibri uses it automatically when needed)
• Finder sorting order is used to enqueueing files to the Playlist
• Playlist will be rendered with system default monospace font when available (macOS 10.11 and up)
• added a ‘Use Default SoundFont’ option for MIDI files to the right-click context menu of the Playlist
• removing the default SoundFont will automatically set the next available SoundFont as the default
• if the SoundFont list is empty, then the first SoundFont will automatically be marked as the default
• removing a SoundFont only causes playback restart if the currently played song is affected by the removal
• importing a new SoundFont will automatically set it as the default

  • songs will be added at pointer position (insert)
  • songs will be added at the end of the list (append, like before)
• added ‘Permanent Pause’ to Settings -> Behavior (Off, by default):
  • pause will ‘hold’ until the Play button is pressed again
  • switching to a different song will ‘arm’/prepare the song for playback
  • seeking repositions the playhead and it will play audio from the selected spot once unpaused
  • removing songs from the playlist does not affect the paused state
• added ‘Auto-Play’ to Settings -> Behavior (On, by default):
  • On: Colibri automatically plays the next song
  • Off: Colibri stops when the current song ends
• Playlist Columns have been rewritten from scratch for improved stability: see Settings -> Columns
• Columns are now sortable:
  • click on the header once to sort playlist by that column
  • clicking once again switches between Ascending/Descending sorting
  • sorting is supported across all columns
• added new Columns:
  • Length, kHz, Codec, Year, Track Number, Disc Number, Composer and Bit Depth
• Playlist Columns can now have vertical and horizontal Grids:
  • they help in finding the columns boundaries during reordering and resizing
  • Grids can be toggled on/off in Settings -> Themes
  • a color picker has been added to Settings -> Themes for the Grid
• new Loop option ‘Random Round Robin’ in Settings -> Playlist:
  • each song in the Playlist will be played once per “round”
  • when all songs were played once, a new “round” begins
  • removing a song causes the “round”
  • double-clicking on a song does not reset the “round”
  • a great way to have a balanced, random playback order
• monospace system fonts are now used in both the Title bar and Status bar (10.11 and up)

ENHANCEMENTS

• Added file size limit for ZXTune processing (Settings -> Behavior)
• Previous button now acts more like the one on CD players: if pressed less than 4 seconds into the song it goes back one track. However, after 4 seconds have passed it first skips to the beginning of the current song
• Remove song got an extended behavior as well: If a song is playing then selecting all song and pressing remove would protect the currently played song. However, if only the currently played song is selected then playback will be stopped and the song will be removed. This is to eliminate the need of pressing stop then remove.
