- Update to version 3.7.1
+ Fixes
- Fixes a bug where the screen was not getting cleared when
switching views if `hidesidecover` was set to `1`.
- Update to version 3.7.0
+ Optimisations
- Faster loading of previous playlists, especially for large
collections. The new method is up to 20x faster for loading
big playlists.
- The library is now always cached and only scans if the files
have changed. This speeds up library loading, especially on
slow disks.
+ Key Binding Overhaul
- Advanced key bindings and more key combinations are now
supported.
- New format for key bindings:
+ `bind = +, volUp, +5%` → Increase volume by 5%
+ `bind = Shift+s, stop` → Stop playback
+ `bind = mouseMiddle, enqueueAndPlay` → Enqueue and play
track
- Old config files are mostly compatible, but new examples can
be found by deleting the `kewrc` file.

- Support for both synchronized and unsynchronized Vorbis
lyrics. (Suggested by @hiruocha)
- Auto-scrolling lyrics for synced lyrics with manual scroll
support. (By @noiamnote)

Chinese. Thanks to @hiruocha for the Chinese translation.

- Update to version 3.5.1
* Theme colors, both TrueColor and 16-color palette theming.
Cycle by pressing 't'.
* Improved the search function so that albums are shown below an
artist hit.
* Added an icon indicating if the song is playing or paused
before the title at the top when the logo is hidden.
* Shows the playlist from the first song (if it's in view),
instead of always starting from the playing song.
* Improved the safety of various functions and addressed
potential vulnerabilities.
* Don't make a space for the cover if there is none on landscape
view.
* Improved the instructions in the help view.Fixed visualizer
crashing the app on ultrawide monitors.
* Added null check for when exporting an empty playlist to .m3u.
* Prevent flickering when scrolling on TTY and likely on some
other terminals as well.

- Update to version 2.7.2
* Add capability to remove the currently playing song from the
playlist. Press space bar to play the next song in the list.
* Scrolling now stops immediately after the key is released.
* Better reset of the terminal at program exit.
* MPRIS widgets are now updated when switching songs while paused

- Update to version 2.7.0
* Proper MPRIS and PlayerCtl support. Set volume, stop, seek and
others now work as expected. You can also switch tracks while
stopped or paused now. Everything should work except openUri
and repeat playlist which are not available for now.
* New (optional) dependency: Libnotify. In practice, adding
libnotify as a dependency means browsing through music will no
longer make desktop notifications pile up, instead the one
visible will update itself. This looks much better. kew uses
libnotify only if you have it installed, so it should if
possible be an optional thing during installation.
* Allows binding of other keys for the different ui views that
you get with F2-F6.
* Removed the option to toggle covers on and off by pressing 'c'.
* Removed build warning on systems with ffmpeg 4.4 installed.
* Only run one instance of kew at a time, thanks @werdahias for
the suggestion.
* If you exit the kew with 0% volume, when you open it next time,
volume will be at 10%. To avoid confusion.
* Handle SIGHUP not only SIGINT.
* Prints error message instead of crashing on Fedora when
playing unsupported .m4a files. This problem is related to
ffmpeg free/non-free versions. You need the non-free version.
* Fixed issue where special characters in the song title could
cause mpris widgets to not work correctly.
- add libnotify-devel BuildRequires: needed for v2.7.0

OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/multimedia:apps/kew?expand=0&rev=64
- Update to version 2.6.0
* New command: "kew albums", similar to "kew all" but it queues
one album randomly after the other. Thank you @the-boar for the
suggestion.
* Fixed bug where sometimes kew couldn't find a suitable name for
a playlist file (created by pressing x).
* Made it so that seeking jumps in more reasonable smaller
increments when not in song view. Previously it could jump 30
seconds at a time.
* Rolled back code related to symlinked directories, it didn't
work with freebsd, possibly others.
- Add clang BuildRequires: build for leap 15.6

- Update to version 2.5.1
* Fixed bug where desktop notifications could lead to a short
stall of the app at startup if notify-send wasn't installed.
* Search: Removed duplicate search result name variable. This
means search results will now have a very low memory footprint.
* Symlinked directories should work better now. Works best if
the symlink and the destination directory has the same name.

- Update to version 2.5.0
* Fuzzy search! Press F5 to search your library.

because pressing 'q' will just add that letter to the search
string.
* Fixed issue where after completing a playthrough of a playlist
and then starting over, only the first song would be played.
* Fine tuning of the spectrum visualizer. Still not perfect but
I think this one is better. I might be wrong though.
* Made scrolling quicker.

- Update to version 2.4.1
* Improved album cover color mode. Press 'i' to try this.
* To accelerate startup times, there is now a library cache.
This feature is optional and can be enabled in the settings
file (kewrc). If the library loading process is slow, you'll
be prompted to consider using the cache.
* You can now press 'u' to update the library in case you've
added or removed songs.
* Faster "kew all". It now bases its playlist on the library
instead of scanning everything a second time.

sometimes became unresponsive when adding / deleting.
