v1.2.6

Changed

• No more bar across the top. The box name and the favourites' sort and layout buttons are
  now the first row of each screen, and scroll out of the way with the list, so the content gets
  that space back. In landscape the row sits beside the navigation rail rather than above it.
• Long names in lists wrap instead of being cut off. Folders, tracks and albums in the
  library, and favourites in the list layout, now use a second line before shortening a name,
  so the part that tells "Folge 12" from "Folge 13" stays visible.

Fixed

• Landscape keeps clear of the camera. With the phone on its side, the navigation rail and
  the edge of the screen's content no longer run under the front camera cutout.

v1.2.5

Added

• Tap Library twice to search. Tapping the library tab while already in the library jumps
  to the search field and raises the keyboard, so searching is a double tap from anywhere in
  the app.

Changed

• Landscape is usable. With the phone on its side, the navigation moves to a rail at the
  side and the top bar slims down, so the library, favourites and settings get most of the
  screen instead of a sliver between three stacked bars. The library puts its search field and
  tabs on one line there, and favourites use smaller tiles so a whole row fits.
• Long titles scroll instead of being cut off. The player and the mini player show the title
  and artist on one line that scrolls when it does not fit, fading out at the edge, so the end of
  a long chapter or movement name is no longer lost behind an ellipsis.

v1.2.4

Added

• The alphabetical order reverses. Choosing A–Z again turns it into Z–A, the gesture a sort
  control answers to nearly everywhere else, and choosing it once more turns it back. The entry
  is labelled with the order the list is actually in rather than with a fixed "A–Z", so a tab
  sorted Z–A says so instead of leaving it to be worked out from the tiles — which matters here,
  where a sorted arrangement and a hand-made one look identical

v1.2.3

Added

• Favourites can be sorted A–Z. The tab showed them in the order they were saved and nothing
  in the top bar said otherwise, so a collection that had grown past a screenful had no way to be
  scanned by name — the only way to move a tile was two entries buried in its own ⋮ menu, one step
  at a time. A sort action now sits beside the layout switch, with the current order ticked: the
  hand-made arrangement, or alphabetical. Sorting leaves the arrangement untouched, so switching
  back brings it out exactly as it was, and move up and move down are offered only while the tab
  is in that order — where they can actually be seen to work

v1.2.2

Fixed

• The album line names the album that is playing. A track with no tags of its own was shown
  under the title, artist and album of the last tagged track the box had played — a rip from one
  album sitting under another album's name, with an artist beside it that happened to be right.
  The box publishes it that way: it merges each song's tags into one record it never clears, so a
  song with nothing to say inherits whatever the one before it said. Coil now checks the playing
  song's tags against the box's queue, which answers per song, and shows the file name for a track
  the queue says has no title — on the player screen, in the mini player, in the queue and on the
  lock screen alike

v1.2.1

Fixed

• The lock screen names the track again. For a file with no title tag — which is most of a
  ripped-CD library — the controls in the shade and on the lock screen read "Coil is running"
  instead of the track, and kept reading it as the box moved through the album, even though the
  artist and the cover beside it were right all along. An untagged track is now named by its file
  name there, the same way it already was in the queue and in the library, and the player screen
  and the mini player name it that way too instead of saying "Unknown title"

v1.2.0

Added

• Coil now copes with a box that plays from more than one source. A coming Phoniebox release
  lets a box have a streaming service alongside its own music, and then the album list holds both.
  An album's name and artist are no longer enough to say which one you meant — two sources can
  offer the same record — so Coil now remembers where each album came from and tells the box, for
  favourites and home screen shortcuts as well as the library. Without this, starting an album from
  the streaming service would have emptied the queue and played nothing at all. Nothing changes on
  a box with only its own music, and your existing favourites and covers carry over untouched
• The library says which source each album came from, on a box that has more than one. A small
  icon marks whether an entry is an album, a playlist or a saved-songs collection, and the line
  under the title names the source — so the same record held both on your box and in a streaming
  account reads as two entries rather than one mysterious duplicate. A box with only its own music
  shows none of this, because there it would be the same mark on every row
• A setting for cover art that does not live on your box. Phoniebox is gaining the ability to play
  from a streaming service, and such a service keeps its cover art on its own servers rather than on
  the box. Coil can now show those covers, but only if you ask it to: the switch sits under Appearance
  and is off by default, because turning it on is the one thing in the app that makes your phone
  talk to anything other than your box on the local network. Left off, those albums show a stand-in
  cover and nothing leaves your network

v1.1.1

Fixed

• The playback controls now actually appear. Coil is supposed to put the playing track in your
  notification shade and on your lock screen, and it never did — the session was built correctly and
  then never handed to the part of media3 that posts the notification, so nothing was ever shown in
  either of the two control modes. In automatic mode the same fault could leave the quiet "ready"
  notification cancelled behind it
• The controls also work properly now that they are there. The lock screen shows a seek bar with
  elapsed and remaining time; play and pause respond to the first tap instead of appearing to
  do nothing until the box got round to answering; ⏮ restarts the track part-way in and goes back a
  track near the beginning, the way every other player does; a mute button sent from a car stereo
  mutes rather than toggling, so it no longer unmutes an already-muted box; and tapping a track in a
  car's playlist goes to that track instead of occasionally restarting the album

v1.1.0

Added

• The player now shows what the box has queued, and you can skip straight to a track in it. A new
  playlist button beside the transport controls opens the whole list with the playing track marked;
  tapping a row goes there and leaves the rest of the album queued behind it, so an audio play carries
  on into the next chapter instead of stopping. Reaching chapter seven no longer means tapping ⏭ six
  times. The same list now reaches the lock screen, Android Auto and Assistant, which used to see a
  single song with nothing around it
• The Phoniebox has no command for jumping to a playlist position, so Coil walks the list one track
  at a time where it has to — the row it is heading for shows its progress and can be called off. This
  is skipped entirely on a box whose software can jump directly, and a future Phoniebox release could
  make it instant. Two limits worth knowing: it needs shuffle off, and Coil says so rather than
  changing that setting for you

Fixed

• A running sleep timer no longer starts its countdown over when you come back to the app. The
  timer on the box was always right, but the "Stops in …" line under the transport controls read the
  full 30 minutes again every time Coil returned to the foreground. Coil now asks the box what is
  actually left of the timer whenever it connects, so what you see counts down once

v1.0.1

Added

• Folders and albums without cover art now get a picture of their own. A Phoniebox library is
  largely ripped CDs and home-made folders, so a great deal of it has no embedded artwork, and a
  screen of identical grey discs is no use to someone who navigates by picture rather than by
  reading. Thirty-two abstract covers ship with the app and each uncovered folder, album or track
  is assigned one from its name — the same one every time, on every screen, after a reinstall, and
  on a second phone. Artwork the box does have is still used and still preferred; nothing is
  replaced
