Resolve API (api.zarz.moe):
- Refactor songlink.go: Spotify URLs use resolve API, non-Spotify uses SongLink API
- Add SongLink fallback when resolve API fails for Spotify (two-layer resilience)
- Remove dead code: page parser, XOR-obfuscated keys, legacy helpers
Multi-artist tag fix (#288):
- Add RewriteSplitArtistTags() in Go to rewrite ARTIST/ALBUMARTIST as split Vorbis comments
- Wire method channel handler in Android (MainActivity.kt) and iOS (AppDelegate.swift)
- Add PlatformBridge.rewriteSplitArtistTags() in Dart
- Call native FLAC rewriter after FFmpeg embed when split_vorbis mode is active
- Extract deezerTrackArtistDisplay() helper to use Contributors in album/playlist tracks
Code cleanup:
- Remove unused imports, dead code, and redundant comments across Go and Dart
- Fix build: remove stale getQobuzDebugKey() reference in deezer_download.go
Add a bottom sheet dialog that lets users choose which metadata field
groups to update during bulk re-enrich (cover, lyrics, album/album
artist, track/disc number, date/ISRC, genre/label/copyright).
Backend (Go):
- Filter FLAC Metadata struct and FFmpeg metadata map by selected
update_fields so non-selected groups preserve existing file values
- Guard Deezer extended metadata fetch with shouldUpdateField(extra)
- Title/Artist are never overwritten by re-enrich (search keys only)
- enrichedMeta response only includes selected field groups
Frontend (Dart):
- New re_enrich_field_dialog.dart bottom sheet with checkboxes
- FFmpegService embed methods gain preserveMetadata param that uses
-map_metadata 0 instead of -1 to preserve non-selected tags
- Hide selection overlay/bar before showing dialog, restore on cancel
- Fix setState-after-dispose guard in cancel branches
Cleanup:
- Remove dead code in library_tracks_folder_screen.dart
- Fix use_build_context_synchronously in main_shell.dart
- Suppress false-positive use_null_aware_elements lints
- Update l10n label from 'Title, Artist, Album' to 'Album, Album Artist'
Move hardcoded UI strings across multiple screens and the notification
service into ARB-backed l10n keys so they can be translated via Crowdin.
Adds 62 new keys covering sort labels, dialog copy, metadata error
snackbars, folder-picker errors, home-tab error states, extensions home
feed selector, and all notification titles/bodies. NotificationService
now caches an AppLocalizations instance (injected from MainShell via
didChangeDependencies) and falls back to English literals when no locale
is available.
Enable strict-casts, strict-inference, and strict-raw-types in
analysis_options.yaml. Add custom_lint with riverpod_lint. Fix all
resulting type warnings with explicit type parameters and safer casts.
Also improves APK update checker to detect device ABIs for correct
variant selection and fixes Deezer artist name parsing edge case.

Add set/get/clear store registry URL method channel handlers on Android,
iOS, and Go backend so users can configure a custom extension repository.
Store tab now shows a setup screen when no registry URL is configured,
with a cleaner layout (removed redundant description and helper text)
and visible TextField borders for dark theme.
Minor comment and formatting cleanups across several files.
Version rolled back from v4.x to v3.7.0. After extensive work on v4's
internal streaming engine, smart queue, DASH pipeline, and media controls,

only made maintenance increasingly difficult and the developer's life
miserable. Stripped back to what works: external player only, cleaner
codebase, sustainable long-term.
