  v2026.05.21.0 — Wear OS dispatch fix, playlist-load feedback Stable

  bvandeusen released this 2026-05-21 15:42:28 -04:00 | 640 commits to main since this release

  Highlights

  Last meaningful-feature release on Flutter. Future releases on this codebase are bugfix-only; the v1 Android native rewrite begins in parallel.

  Player / Wear OS

  • Notification + Pixel Watch transport controls stay live across idle periods. Previously the buttons could go dead after ~5 min idle (Wear companion's MediaController held a stale binding to a torn-down MediaSession). Idle teardown now soft-tears-down only — display state clears, but the FGS + MediaSession persist so the Watch binding stays valid.

  Playlists

  • Tapping a system-playlist tile before its mix has loaded now surfaces clear SnackBar feedback ("Mix isn't ready yet — try again in a moment" / timeout / API error) instead of silently stalling.

  Behind the scenes

  • Drift test cohort re-enabled in CI after the ci-flutter image picked up libsqlite3-dev.
  • Tier-A dep sweep (audio_session 0.2, flutter_lucide, permission_handler now direct), Go server bumps, CI runner-image policy migration.

  Known limitations

  • Quarantine throwing-path test skipped pending Fable #476 (Riverpod StreamProvider lifecycle in async catch path).
  • Offline-view flash on app resume (Fable #473) deferred — bugfix-future on Flutter; resolved in native rewrite.
  • audio_service plugin is upstream-stale; this release works around the lifecycle bug client-side rather than waiting for a maintenance update that isn't coming.

  What's next

  Native Android rewrite begins under android/ sibling to flutter_client/. Targets: Media3 directly, Wear OS Compose first-class, Android Auto support, native MediaSessionService lifecycle. iOS will not ship.
