What's new in 0.6.0 Alpha 4
UI polish and a file upload re-submit fix.
Backend
No changes.
Frontend
- Fix: settings tooltip -- "More features coming soon" now appears on hover and reliably disappears when the mouse leaves the button. Uses CSS
:hoveron the button itself, eliminating WKWebView event delivery quirks. - Fix: waveform resize -- resizing the app window now correctly updates the waveform zoom. A
requestAnimationFramedebounce on theResizeObserverensures zoom is applied after layout settles. - Single-click track loading -- clicking a track in the library now loads it into the studio immediately. Double-click is no longer needed.
- About dialog hover -- Website, GitHub, and all social icon buttons only turn yellow on hover instead of being permanently highlighted.
- Fix: file upload re-submit -- uploading the same file a second time (without re-selecting it) no longer shows "URL is required". The File object is now cached on the input element and survives the browser clearing
fileInput.filesafter afetch()submission.
Desktop setup
No changes.
Installing
Drop the new .app into your Applications folder and launch. No manual migration steps required.
Artifact build
- macOS arm64 and x64 DMGs and runtime packs were built and inspected on a macOS Woodpecker agent before upload.
