See [this issue](https://github.com/OxygenCobalt/Auxio/issues/1134) for more information about v4.0.0 bug fixes. I'll be keeping this up to date as I go along. I plan to pick up the pace and push even more patches. ## This Patch #### What's Improved - Added option to enable/disable the file tree cache (disabled by default) to stop new music going undiscovered on some devices #### What's Fixed - ~~Fixed loading failing/crashing the app on some devices~~ - This apparently was not fixed, please wait for a future patch - Fixed cache being stored in cache storage rather than app storage ## Primary Changelog #### What's New - A total user interface refresh based on the latest Material Design specs - New theme palettes - Improved designs for playback and detail views - New app branding and icon - Refreshed round mode - Less intrusive music loading indicators - **Musikr**, a brand new music loading system - Directly accesses user files rather than unreliable media database - Uses faster and more capable native tag parsing - Stores cover data on-device for fast and high-quality access - New interpretation system with many quality-of-life improveme

**Preface:** I am so terribly sorry for going completely M.I.A after 4.0.0's release and the horrible bugs it brought. I unexpectedly had zero time to dedicate to Auxio for months due to school and career things. I'm just now trying to get back into a rhythm of adding new stuff. I seriously hope to return to full parity and stability very soon. ## This Patch #### What's Improved - Re-added folder exclusion #### What's Fixed - Fixed slow loading on large libraries ## Primary Changelog #### What's New - A total user interface refresh based on the latest Material Design specs - New theme palettes - Improved designs for playback and detail views - New app branding and icon - Refreshed round mode - Less intrusive music loading indicators - **Musikr**, a brand new music loading system - Directly accesses user files rather than unreliable media database - Uses faster and more capable native tag parsing - Stores cover data on-device for fast and high-quality access - New interpretation system with many quality-of-life improvements - Android 15 support #### What's Improved - Initial music loading is significantly faster and less resource intensive

**Note:** v4.0.0 uses a new metadata extractor. If your file has out-of-spec tags (i.e duplicate tags), this can cause the metadata extractor to yield different metadata, causing Auxio to "forget" your playlists. This is a very rare issue, but if you are concerned I would highly recommend backing up your playlists before updating just in case. ## This Patch This patch fixes a regression from the previous patch causing the music loader to fail when invalid cover art data was encountered. ## Previous Patch #### What's Improved - Improved music loader pipeline efficiency - Made cover.png support more flexible - Albums with the same name but different album artists are now split if fully tagged with album artists #### What's Fixed - Possibly fixed cache failures on large libraries - Possibly fixed playback state saving failing on some devices - Fixed issue where artists w/o songs would not have a cover - Fixed music not being reloaded when music locations changed - Fixed tasker media control not working - Fixed tasker playback start command never finishing #### Dev/Meta - Removed useless storage permissions - Internal cleanup/simplification of musikr API -
