Cider 2.x (Beta 20)
🥳 Happy New Year! Here's our first beta of 2023.
First beta build in a while, but we have been putting in a few new features throughout the holiday.
In this build:
- New home page design with a more modern and personalised look.
- The new welcome message uses your Cider Connect username or your Apple Music Social Profile name.
- This is still being worked on and may change.
- UI fixes, shadow changes and other miscellaneous visual changes.
- A new configuration option to disable the album banner's editorial layout has been added.
- Lots of the latest changes are the team optimising the interface for UWP.
- Translations are no longer bundled into the application (Electron Only Currently).
- We now fetch translations on startup, which reduced bundle size a fair bit.
- Additional changes have also been made on the backend:
- Playlists have been moved to our v3Turbo call for more performant loading.
- Some setup for LastFM within Cider Connect has been added.
- Further work on Spotify integration within the app has been done.
There's a few other things, but version tracking has gone out the window. Enjoy the build!
