v2.0.0 (2018-12-07)

Major feature release.

Dependencies

• Require Mopidy >= 1.1.

• Replace python-dbus with python-pydbus.

Configuration

• Remove config value mpris/desktop_file. It is marked as deprecated in
  the config schema, so it will be ignored if present in the config file.

Functionality

• Ordering of playlists by playlist modification time is no longer supported.

• Update UIs when playback options change: On the Mopidy event
  options_changed, emit PropertiesChanged for LoopStatus,
  Shuffle, CanGoPrevious, and CanGoNext.

• Update UIs when playback is stopped: On the Mopidy event
  playback_state_changed, emit PropertiesChanged for
  PlaybackStatus and Metadata. (Fixes: #23)

• Update UIs when playlists are deleted: On the Mopidy event
  playlist_deleted, emit PropertiesChanged for PlaylistCount.

• Update track name when stream title changes:

  • The Metadata property now uses core.playback.get_stream_title() as
    xesam:title if available.

  • On the Mopidy event stream_title_changed, emit PropertiesChanged
    for Metadata.

• Control mixer mute through the volume control:

  • The Volume property is now 0.0 if the mixer is muted.

  • When setting the Volume property to a positive value, the mixer is
    unmuted.

  • On the Mopidy event mute_changed, emit PropertiesChanged for
    Volume.

• Fallback to get cover art from core.library.get_images() if
  track.album.images is blank.

• Do not expose Mopidy's desktop file through the DesktopEntry property. If
  we set this to "mopidy", the basename of "mopidy.desktop", some MPRIS clients
  will start a new Mopidy instance in a terminal window if one clicks outside
  the buttons of the UI. This is probably never what the user wants.

Internals

• Improved documentation.

• Port tests to pytest.

• Replace all usage of Mopidy APIs deprecated as of Mopidy 2.2.
