v2.2.1
v2.2.0
2.2
-
This update mostly contains improvements to stability.
-
M4a file decoding is no longer done by calling ffmpeg externally, it's (finally) done like the other file formats. This should make kew more stable, responsive and it should consume less memory when playing m4a files.
-
kew now starts the first time with your system volume as the volume, after that it remembers the last volume it exited with and uses that.
-
kew now picks up and starts using the cover color without the user having to first go to track view.
v2.1.1
v2.0.4
2.0.4
-
You can now add "-e" or "--exact" in your searches to return an exact (not case sensitive) match. This can be helpful when two albums have a similar name, and you want to specify you want one or the other.
Example: kew -e basement popstar.
-
Fixed issue where pressing del on the playlist changed view to track view.
v2.0.2

-
Delete items from the playlist by pressing Del.
-
You can flip through pages of the library or playlist by pressing Page Up and Page Down.
-
Starting kew with no arguments now takes you to the library.
-
After the playlist finishes playing, the library is shown, instead of the app exiting.
-
To run kew with all songs shuffled like you could before, just type "kew all" in the terminal.
-
Running kew with the argument --quitonstop, enables the old behavior of exiting when finished.
-
