Full Changelog: v0.0.14...v0.0.15

v0.0.14

This update mainly fixes the Spotify player integration, as well as some other minor changes.

Full Changelog: v0.0.13...v0.0.14

v0.0.13

Some bug fixes and improvements!

Bug Fixes

• A regression made GlanceThing unable to find patch files for applying patches, resulting in an infinite load. This has now been fixed, and additionally a message will be shown telling the user to connect their CarThing to apply patches, if it is disconnected.
• If developer mode is enabled, and something else is already running on port 1337 on your computer, GlanceThing would fail to start. GlanceThing now checks if this port is available, and if not, chooses a random port instead.
• GitHub Gists sometimes caches gists, and this prevented GlanceThing from retrieving the correct credentials in some occasions

Full Changelog: v0.0.12-1...v0.0.13

v0.0.12-1

This is a hotfix for the Spotify playback source.

Bug Fixes

• GlanceThing now dynamically fetches secrets needed to communicate with Spotify, so the entire application won't need an update when they change.

Full Changelog: v0.0.9...v0.0.10

v0.0.9

New Features

• Playback handlers are now modular, allowing for easier expansion in the future (#37)
• Spotify is now a playback handler, and uses a combination of the official Web API for controls and the web player token for realtime playback updates. This is due to another change Spotify has made to their web player API.

Full Changelog: v0.0.8...v0.0.9

v0.0.8-2

Bug Fixes

• Yet again, Spotify has made an update to prevent make it harder to get tokens like the "web client" does it. However, thanks to the great work of KRTirtho for spotube, the algorithms and secrets have been found and a fix has been made. Original commit here: KRTirtho/spotube@59f298a
• Fixed a crash when Spotify failed to get a token

Full Changelog: v0.0.8-1...v0.0.8-2

v0.0.8-1

Bug Fixes

• Fixes the method of getting a Spotify token, as Spotify has changed this for their official web app. This results in errors on previous versions of GlanceThing. Nothing should be different for users of GlanceThing, as the previous token should keep working with this new method.
