## [2026.04.28-1]

9
+
### Added
10
+
- Real-time PCM loudness normalizer (`normalize_volume = true` in `settings.toml`) — RMS-based AGC with asymmetric attack/release, similar to Spotify's "Normalize Volume"; applied across all PCM sinks (SDL, FIFO, AirPlay, Squeezelite, UPnP, Chromecast, Snapcast TCP)
11
+
- `GET /player/volume` REST endpoint returning `{ volume, min, max }`
12
+
- `volume` GraphQL query returning live current volume with min/max range
13
+
- `useGetVolumeQuery` GraphQL hook in the web UI
14
+
- `get_current_volume()` gRPC client helper in the GPUI app
15
+
16
+
### Fixed
17
+
- Volume slider in GPUI mini-player now responds to mouse clicks (replaced plain `div` with `SeekBar` component)
18
+
- Volume slider in web UI now uses correct 0–100 range with explicit `min`/`max` on the MUI Slider
19
+
- `globalSettings.volume` in GraphQL now returns the live current volume via `rb::sound::current(0)` instead of a hardcoded `0`
20
+
- `VOLUME_MIN_DB` constant in GPUI corrected from `-74` to `-80` (SDL target range)
21
+
- Volume in GPUI loads the live value at startup via `SoundCurrent` gRPC instead of the stale saved setting
22
+
- `adjust_volume` now has audible effect on all non-SDL PCM sinks (FIFO, AirPlay, Squeezelite, UPnP, Chromecast, Snapcast TCP) — SW volume scaling (`pcm_copy_buffer`) was not being applied in any of these sinks
23
+
24
+
## [2026.04.28]
25
+
26
+
### Added
27
+
- Snapcast TCP PCM sink (`audio_output = "snapcast_tcp"`) — streams S16LE PCM directly to a Snapcast `tcp://` source; compatible with snapserver v0.35+
28
+
- Stream metadata forwarding for Snapcast TCP sink
29
+
30
+
### Fixed
31
+
- MPD `getvol` / `setvol` handlers now correctly map the Rockbox dB range (−80..0) to the MPD 0–100 scale
32
+
33
+
## [2026.04.27]
34
+
35
+
### Added
36
+
- TypeScript SDK (`@rockbox/sdk`) for controlling rockboxd from Node.js / browser applications
37
+
- Playlists UI in the web interface — create, edit, and manage saved and smart playlists
38
+
- Album art footer overlay shown on album cover hover
39
+
40
+
### Changed
41
+
- Web UI data layer migrated from Apollo Client to TanStack React Query
42
+
- Playlist modals rendered into document body via React portal (fixes z-index stacking issues)
43
+
44
+
## [2026.04.26]
45
+
46
+
### Added
47
+
- Chromecast PCM sink (`audio_output = "chromecast"`) — streams WAV over HTTP and controls playback via the Cast Media protocol
48
+
- UPnP/DLNA support: ContentDirectory media server (`upnp_server_enabled`), MediaRenderer:1 (`upnp_renderer_enabled`), and UPnP PCM sink (`audio_output = "upnp"`) with auto-renderer discovery
49
+
- Device picker UI in the GPUI and web mini-player — switch audio output (Rockbox built-in, AirPlay, Squeezelite, Chromecast) without restarting
50
+
- Multi-room AirPlay: `airplay_receivers` list in `settings.toml` supports sending to multiple RAOP receivers simultaneously
51
+
- Squeezelite multi-room PCM sink (`audio_output = "squeezelite"`) — Slim Protocol TCP server + HTTP PCM broadcast; supports unlimited concurrent squeezelite clients with independent reader cursors
52
+
53
+
### Fixed
54
+
- Duplicate Chromecast devices skipped during discovery
55
+
- Typesense search index initialised before the HTTP server accepts requests (avoids empty results on cold start)
56
+
57
+
## [2026.04.25]
58
+
59
+
### Added
60
+
- Saved playlists: create, rename, delete, and reorder tracks via gRPC, GraphQL, and REST APIs
61
+
- Smart playlists: rule-based auto-generated playlists with play-count and skip-count tracking
62
+
- Playlist search integration with Typesense
63
+
- `StreamLibrary` gRPC server-streaming RPC — pushes library updates to clients when a scan completes
64
+
- GPUI file browser: navigate the local filesystem and enqueue directories directly
65
+
66
+
### Fixed
67
+
- Now Playing widget in GPUI shows correctly when the app opens with a paused track (initial status fetched once at startup)
68
+
- Rocksky registration failures logged at `debug` level instead of `warn` to reduce noise
69
+
- Global Play/Pause keybind no longer fires when a text input field has focus
