Bump to 0.6.3 and document the screen-share work merged on this branch: the advanced Settings section + per-call quality picker (96e41de), the hardware-decode-defaults-off frame-1 freeze fix (96e41de), the per-call quality override fix (e378b2e), and the VLC-honors-viewer-settings fix (faad8ce). All local-only — no wire-protocol change, old configs load unchanged. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

## [0.6.3] — 2026-07-06
|
|
|
|
### Added
|
|
- **In-app screen-sharing controls.** A new **Screen sharing** section in Settings, plus a per-call **quality picker** on the Share control, put the whole share pipeline under your control without editing config files. Encode side: quality preset, bitrate, framerate, maximum resolution, maximum viewers, a force-software-encode switch, and an escape hatch for extra pixelpass arguments. Playback side: choose **mpv or VLC**, toggle **hardware decoding**, pick a buffering posture (low-latency vs. smooth), set the demuxer cache, and pass extra mpv arguments. Everything is stored locally in your config and defaults are unchanged, so existing setups keep working as-is.
|
|
|
|
### Fixed
|
|
- **Shared video no longer freezes on the first frame while audio keeps playing.** Hardware decoding now defaults **off**; forcing `--hwdec=auto` stalled some viewers' hardware decoder on frame 1. You can re-enable hardware decoding from the new Screen sharing settings if your machine handles it well.
|
|
- **The per-call quality picker is now honored.** The inline quality dropdown next to the Share button was being reset to the saved default before a share started, so every share silently used the default quality regardless of what you picked.
|
|
- **VLC now respects your playback settings.** VLC hardware-decodes by default, so a VLC viewer previously ignored the hardware-decode toggle (and could hit the same frame-1 freeze) and the buffering posture. VLC viewers now map both settings onto VLC's own options.

## [0.6.2] — 2026-07-03
|
|
|
|
### Fixed
|
|
- **Friends list now reflects status changes without a restart.** A presence probe that fails now actively marks the friend **offline**, so a friend who goes offline, leaves a room, or turns invisible no longer lingers showing a stale "online" / "in a room" status until PeerSpeak is relaunched. Previously only successful probes updated the list, so it could ratchet a friend's status up but never down. The auto-refresh interval was also shortened from 60s to **15s** so the list tracks changes more closely.
|
|
|
|
### Added
|
|
- **Manual "⟳ Rescan" button** on the Friends panel that refreshes everyone's presence immediately, instead of waiting for the next auto-refresh.
|
|
|
|
### Licensing
|
|
- **PeerSpeak is now released under the MIT License** (previously an unlicensed private build). Added a `LICENSE` file and a `THIRD_PARTY_LICENSES` file enumerating the full dependency manifest plus the canonical text of every referenced license, with notices for the statically bundled Opus codec and the embedded fonts (Iced-Icons, Cantarell/OFL-1.1). Both files ship in the Arch and Debian packages.

[0.6.2]: https://gitbutter.xyz/mollusk/peerspeak/releases/tag/v0.6.2
|
|
|
|
## [0.6.0] — 2026-06-28
|
|
|
|
### Added
|
|
- **Shared music listening (W22).** A new **Playlist** panel lets you build a personal queue of local audio files and play them on a dedicated music player — Browse to add tracks, play/pause, previous/next, seek, per-track reorder, remove, and a local volume slider, all persisted across sessions. `.pls` and `.m3u` playlists can be imported (remote and non-audio entries are skipped).
|
|
- **Tune in to a friend's music.** Flip **"Let others tune in"** and peers see your current track under the **Public** tab; one click on **Listen** streams it to them. Playback is **timeline-synced** — play, pause, skip, and seek mirror across everyone with no drift — and the next track is **prefetched for gapless** transitions. Each listener gets an independent **per-source volume**, so music sits under voice at whatever level they like; voice chat stays fully audible throughout.
|
|
- **Standalone Playlist card in the 3-Column layout.** The playlist now lives in its own card stacked under the chat, with a draggable divider to resize it and its own scrollbar when space is tight. The other layouts keep the playlist in the Controls panel.
|
|
|
|
### Security
|
|
- Shared-music metadata is treated as untrusted: the broadcast track name is sanitized and its size is cap-checked at gossip ingest, fetched bytes are confirmed to be audio before decoding, and only a small descriptor ever rides gossip — track bytes move point-to-point over the existing files plane, one fetch in flight at a time.
|
|
|
|
### Changed
|
|
- **Wire protocol bump (gossip v5).** Shared listening adds presence fields, so **0.6.0 peers cannot share a swarm with 0.5.x peers** — everyone in a room must update together.

[0.6.0]: https://gitbutter.xyz/mollusk/peerspeak/releases/tag/v0.6.0
|
|
|
|
## [0.5.1] — 2026-06-27
|
|
|
|
### Added
|
|
- **Volume control for inline chat audio clips.** A master volume slider plus a **Universal volume** toggle now sit in the Chat panel header, and every audio attachment gets its own 🔊 slider on its play row. With Universal volume on (the default), one level applies to all clips and persists across sessions; turn it off to give each clip its own independent level.
|
|
|
|
## [0.5.0] — 2026-06-27
|
|
|
|
### Added
|
|
- **Right-click context menu** (Cut / Copy / Paste / Select All) on every text-entry field. (A9)
|
|
- **Selectable, copyable text** for values that used to be read-only: your full node ID and the room ticket can now be click-selected and copied, and **chat messages are drag-selectable** (highlight + Ctrl+C / Ctrl+A) while clickable links keep working. (W21 Phase 1 + 2)
|
|
- **Clock-skew warning**: when a peer can't be seen because the two systems' clocks differ by more than the replay-protection window, PeerSpeak now shows a "your clocks are out of sync" banner instead of failing silently. (A25)
|
|
- **Per-application audio capture for screen-share**, removing the call-audio loopback echo when sharing a window, plus surfacing of pixelpass startup errors. (A23)
|
|
|
|
### Changed / Fixed
|
|
- **Critical commands are now delivered reliably under load** — muting, releasing push-to-talk, and leaving a room can no longer be silently dropped while a slider is being dragged (prevents a hot-mic state mismatch). (A15)
|
|
- Screen-share now passes `--strict-audio` and surfaces app-audio drop warnings; the source picker state machine and pactl handling were hardened. (A23)
|
|
- Per-peer volume control path verified and covered by regression tests. (A24)
|
|
|
|
### Security
|
|
- Hardened against insider resource-exhaustion: bounded + author-keyed chat attachment cache, capped recovery-identity state, and other Tier-C caps (F-01 / F-02 / F-03 / F-12).
|
|
|
|
### Packaging
|
|
- Added Debian/Ubuntu `.deb` packaging (cargo-deb metadata); the official `.deb` is now built on **Debian 12 (bookworm)** for wide compatibility.
|
|
- Arch `PKGBUILD` clones over anonymous HTTPS.
