• Secure authentication for Subsonic 5.3 servers.
• User interface tweaks:
Optionally enqueue single tracks instead of playing “container”.
Optionally fetch artist imagery from last.fm (Subsonic 5.1)
And of course the usual tweaks, performance improvements and fixes.
For feature requests or issues:
please use the in-app form (play:Sub | Feedback),
or the contact form on michaelsapps.dk
The handling of large collections was the major painpoint in the previous release, and play:Sub has gone through quite a lot of internal changes to improve that.
With that out of the way, I still have a long list of things to add to play:Sub next year.
Cheers,
Michael.
