• Most significant change is the rewritten favicon module.

  • Banners and favicons are now displayed automatically after download.
  • There's more consistent rescaling of icons now.
  • All images are probed for correct content types, and always sanitized prior passing it to Gtk.
  • Column display is prefixed with custom widths.
  • It's completely pluginified, so can be turned off completely, and doesn't block startup if PIL/Pillow modules are missing.

• New contrib/ channels (via user plugin manager):

  • radio.net
  • di.fm/sky.fm/jazzradio.com
  • a basic Magnatune album list
  • ListenLive
  • And a reddit channel:
    • Primarily for Youtube videos or mp3/ogg streams from /r/Music and around a 100 other subreddits.
    • Optional soundcloud streaming URL extraction (depends on pip install soundcloud)
    • Alternatively gem install soundcli and configure it as "soundcli %srv" for "audio/soundcloud" in the player settings.
  • WindowsMediaGuide plugin

• There's a new general "bitrate filter" plugin to apply on all channels.

• Many fixes:

  • Python3 support and print remnants
  • More forced UTF-8 decoding to speed downloading up.
  • Crash fixes for server search.
  • Fix for stream url conversion for MyOggRadio plugin.
  • JAMJSON extraction error

• Removed:

  • iTunes plugin (former RS service unavailable)

• Other fixes:

  • Dirble channel fetching (key error), and added weighted bitrate+format selection.

• And there's a new visual plugin for displaying channel title + homepage link directly in the toolbar (just like streamtuner1 had it).

• Other changes:

  • More internal simplifications and rewrites, externalized pluginconf.
  • Compact main settings list, introduce SpinButtons for integers.
  • Update documentation, add project links, slim down images.
  • Introduce 0install package using PYZ bundle.

Semi-stable

This release isn't completely stable yet. There are still random crashes due to threading+Gtk. Somewhat hard to localize really, because it happens so seldomly and without useful backtrace. You can use --nt if it's an issue.

Alternatively you can run ST2 with MALLOC_CHECK_=2. There's a dev_faulthandler plugin for tracking it down more precisely.
