Bumps base version 2.8.1 → 2.8.2 and the docker-publish default tag. A stability + performance
release: Spotify reliability (Docker boot-hang #949, the token-cache re-auth fix, on-demand
Sync-to-Spotify), the "slow after update" password-manager fix + Max Performance mode (#948), and
large-library imports that no longer time out the import page (#947).
Updates the five release touch-points: web_server version, docker-publish default, pr_description.md,
helper.js WHATS_NEW + VERSION_MODAL_SECTIONS (current release + Earlier-in-2.8.1 summary), and the
new RELEASE_2.8.2_discord.md (truncated for Discord, 1351 chars).
Brings back Spotify playlist export WITHOUT the regression that forced every user to re-auth.
The safety property: the global login scope (SPOTIFY_OAUTH_SCOPE) is NEVER changed, so no
existing token is invalidated. The write permission is requested only when a user actually
exports to Spotify.
- SPOTIFY_EXPORT_SCOPE = the global read scope + playlist-modify, used ONLY by the new
/auth/spotify/export route. Spotify returns a superset token; the normal /callback exchanges
and stores it unchanged (read ⊆ read+write keeps the standard auth check valid) — no callback
changes needed.
- SpotifyClient.has_write_scope() checks the cached token for playlist-modify.
- start_playlist_export_service returns {needs_auth, auth_url} for Spotify when the token lacks
write, instead of starting a doomed job. The modal opens the consent in a new tab and tells the
user to retry once approved; the "Sync to Spotify" button is back, gated on connection as before.
- Release notes (pr_description / What's New / version modal / discord) restored to Spotify &
Deezer with the one-time-permission note; discord back under 2000 chars (1983).
Tests: export scope is a strict superset of the (still read-only) global scope; has_write_scope
true/false for write/readonly/missing tokens and no-client. 275 spotify/oauth tests green, ruff
clean, 64 script-integrity green.
Follow-up to the auth hotfix (633aa82b). The Spotify playlist-write scope was reverted out of the
global OAuth scope (it was force-invalidating every user's token on upgrade), so "Sync to Spotify"
can't get write access yet — clicking it would dead-end on a misleading "reconnect Spotify". So:
- removed the "Sync to Spotify" button from the export modal (Deezer stays); the backend write
client + endpoint are left in place, dormant, for when on-demand write-auth lands
- modal copy is now Deezer-only ("Match missing tracks (Deezer)", "stored Deezer ID")
- release notes (pr_description, helper.js WHATS_NEW + version modal, RELEASE_2.8.1_discord.md)
reworded from "Spotify & Deezer" to "Deezer", with a "Spotify export coming in a follow-up" note
64 script-integrity tests green; discord file back under the 2000-char limit (1952); no stale
Sync-to-Spotify mentions remain. Deezer export (live-verified) is unaffected.
Bumps base version 2.8.0 → 2.8.1 and the docker-publish default tag. Headline is the
Spotify/Deezer playlist export (#945); also the Library Reorganize rename-only mode (#875),
broader lossless handling (#941/#939), download + search fixes, the refined reduce-visual-effects
pass, and merged contributor PRs (#942/#943/#944).
Updates the five release touch-points: web_server version, docker-publish default, pr_description.md,
helper.js WHATS_NEW + VERSION_MODAL_SECTIONS (current release + Earlier-in-2.8.0 summary), and the
new RELEASE_2.8.1_discord.md.
Bumps _SOULSYNC_BASE_VERSION to 2.7.5, defaults the docker-publish workflow's
version_tag to 2.7.5, and refreshes the release notes for the fixes/features
since 2.7.4: deezer real track numbers, special-edition cover art (release-scope),
the leading-'The' dedup, HiFi preview rejection (#895), M3U/M3U8 import (#893),
organize-by-playlist file naming, durable Find & Add match, ignore-list management
+ manual-add unblock (#897), and the Unraid template fixes (#899). WHATS_NEW +
VERSION_MODAL_SECTIONS rolled to 2.7.5 with 2.7.4 folded into the earlier-versions recap.
Bumps _SOULSYNC_BASE_VERSION to 2.7.4 and refreshes the What's New panel +
version-modal highlight reel to the 2.7.4 set (re-identify #889 headline; #890
title-strip; #891 residual-folder cleanup; #886 AAC tier; #887 Spotify Free
status; #884 NZBGet; #885 tz; Sokhi import-cleanup batch), with 2.7.3 rolled into
the brief 'earlier versions' summary per the current-release-only convention.
- _SOULSYNC_BASE_VERSION → 2.6.4
- helper.js: '2.6.4' unreleased → 'May 28, 2026 — 2.6.4 release'
- .github/workflows/docker-publish.yml default version_tag → 2.6.4
- pr_description.md: rewrite for 2.6.4 with #721 as the headline patch,
2.6.3 fixes carried forward unchanged (2.6.3 was bumped on dev but
never reached main / docker, so 2.6.4 is the first release to ship
this batch)
