• Performance optimization
• Support m4a lyric

Gramophone 1.0.3

Not even half an hour later... Here's an hotfix that prevents a crash when you do not have any playlists on your device.

Gramophone 1.0.2

Hello everyone!

It's been quite a while since the last release, and I felt the need to explain a few things that happened recently. After we got a shoutout on YouTube, a lot of people joined Akane's telegram channel to get new versions, but it's been dead since Christmas. The reason is simple: Akane was caught up in Telegram's anti-spam system and because the phone number under his account expired, he wasn't able to restore his account or regain access to the channel. Therefore, we made a new channel (it's linked in the README) and group, feel free to join :). To add to the confusion, the shoutout we got was based on a version of Gramophone that was currently in public beta, which is why people who downloaded Gramophone from GitHub were disappointed because it wasn't "as advertised". Don't worry, you can now have what you saw; it's all included in this release. The third thing I want to explain is why someone who is not Akane is making a release - Akane has less time because he is preparing for his university examination exam, which is why I, as the co-author of Gramophone, am doing maintenance in his stead. With all that said, enjoy the new release :) And lastly, I want to apologize to all fans of semantic versioning ;) we'll improve our version names in the future.

Cheers, Nick
