Update project version and release notes for 2.5.9. Changes: update .github/workflows/docker-publish.yml default/version_tag prompt to 2.5.9, bump _SOULSYNC_BASE_VERSION in web_server.py to 2.5.9, and replace the WHATS_NEW entry in webui/static/helper.js with detailed 2.5.9 release notes and a new VERSION_MODAL_SECTIONS entry. Also update the helper.js fallback for latest whats-new version to 2.5.9.
Prepare 2.5.8 release: update the workflow default version_tag and the app _SOULSYNC_BASE_VERSION to 2.5.8, add WHATS_NEW entries for 2.5.8 (fix blank artist pages for Python/git-pull installs, fix premature download completion before post-processing, add disk-backed artwork cache with SQLite, and add pre-download duration tolerancing for strict sources), and update the whats-new fallback to 2.5.8.
Patch bump for the post-2.5.6 fix cycle. Nine entries shipped since the
2.5.6 release moved into a fresh 2.5.7 WHATS_NEW block — original 2.5.6
release notes left intact.
Touched:
- web_server.py: `_SOULSYNC_BASE_VERSION` 2.5.6 -> 2.5.7
- webui/static/helper.js: new `'2.5.7'` block with date marker + the
nine shipped fixes; fallback default in `_getLatestWhatsNewVersion`
bumped to '2.5.7'
- .github/workflows/docker-publish.yml: workflow_dispatch description
+ default tag both bumped to 2.5.7
What's in 2.5.7 (all post-2.5.6 cycle work):
- MB manual search recall fix (strict -> bare-query)
- MB album-detail 404 fix (invalid cover-art-archive include)
- Fix popup MBID paste field (#647)
- MB added to Fix popup auto-search cascade (#655)
- Docker /app/Stream pre-baked for rootless Docker (#656)
- slskd unreachable log spam suppression (#649)
- MB 'Other' release-groups now visible in discography (#650)
- Quarantined-source dedup on auto-wishlist cycles (#652)
- Unknown Artist Fixer ImportError fix (#646)
The cancel-trigger diagnostic logging commit (a685f9ca) is also in
2.5.7 but isn't user-facing so no WHATS_NEW entry.
- `_SOULSYNC_BASE_VERSION` 2.4.2 → 2.4.3
- helper.js — flip 2.4.3 WHATS_NEW header to "May 8, 2026 — 2.4.3
release"; bump fallback default from 2.4.2 → 2.4.3
- docker-publish.yml — manual-trigger default tag 2.4.2 → 2.4.3
Drive-by — make sidebar version + version-modal subtitle dynamic.
The sidebar version button (`v2.4.1`) and version-modal subtitle
(`Version 2.4.1 — Latest Changes`) were hardcoded text in the HTML.
2.4.2 shipped without these getting bumped — silent drift, easy to
miss at every release.
Added a Flask context_processor that injects `soulsync_version` and
`soulsync_base_version` into every template, then templated the two
hardcoded values:
v{{ soulsync_base_version }}
Version {{ soulsync_base_version }} — Latest Changes
Now bumping `_SOULSYNC_BASE_VERSION` updates the UI everywhere it's
rendered. No more "I forgot to bump the sidebar" at release.
2232/2232 full suite green. Ruff clean. JS parses clean.
- `web_server.py` — `_SOULSYNC_BASE_VERSION` 2.4.1 → 2.4.2
- `webui/static/helper.js` — flip the 2.4.2 WHATS_NEW header from
"Unreleased — 2.4.2 dev cycle" to "May 7, 2026 — 2.4.2 release"
so the per-version block stops being filtered out by
`_getLatestWhatsNewVersion`. Also bumps the safety-net default
inside that helper from 2.4.1 → 2.4.2.
- `.github/workflows/docker-publish.yml` — manual-trigger default
tag bumped to match.
Drive-by fix: escaped a stray single quote in the `Internal: Download
Engine` 2.4.2 entry that broke `node --check` on the file
(`orchestrator.client('soulseek')` inside a single-quoted desc string
silently terminated the string mid-entry). Pre-existing, unrelated to
the bump but caught while validating JS parse for the release.
VERSION_MODAL_SECTIONS not rotated in this commit — separate
editorial pass.
Patch release wrapping up the 2.4.1 dev cycle. Highlights:
- Watchlist no longer re-downloads compilation/soundtrack tracks
(#458 dedup orphan cleanup + the album-match fix work in tandem
to stop the loop).
- Duplicate detector catches slskd dedup orphans via a second
filename-bucket pass.
- Beatport tab hidden temporarily — Cloudflare Turnstile blocks the
scraper and the official OAuth API is closed to public devs.
- Service worker for cover art + installable PWA manifest.
- Browser caching for static assets (1y) and discover pages (5min).
- Socket.IO same-origin default + admin-only /api/settings.
Files updated:
- web_server.py: _SOULSYNC_BASE_VERSION 2.4.0 -> 2.4.1
- webui/index.html: sidebar version button + modal subtitle
- webui/static/helper.js: WHATS_NEW dev-cycle marker -> release date,
fallback version in _getLatestWhatsNewVersion, 8 new
VERSION_MODAL_SECTIONS entries promoted from this cycle
- .github/workflows/docker-publish.yml: workflow_dispatch default
version_tag updated to 2.4.1
Add repository guard (github.repository == Nezreka/SoulSync) to
cleanup-dev-images, dev-nightly, and docker-publish workflows.
build-and-test stays available for fork contributors.
Version bump to 2.3 with rewritten What's New modal covering all
changes since v2.2. Docker publish workflow default updated.
Sidebar improvements:
- Header stays pinned at top while nav and player scroll beneath it
- Media player collapses to compact single-line when no track is
playing, expands to full size when playback starts
Fixes:
- Server playlists endpoint Plex Tag object crash (getattr fix)
- Server playlists tab auto-refreshes after download completion
- Fixed dead code syntax error in archived version notes
