+# Changelog
+
+All notable changes to Drift are documented in this file.
+
+The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/).
+
+## [Unreleased]
+
+### Added
+
+- **Windows support.** Drift now runs natively on Windows. It talks to `mpv` over named pipes instead of Unix sockets.
+- **Song context menu.** Press `G` on a song or playlist for quick actions: play, play next, add to queue, add to playlist, show artist, remove, and song info.
+- **Song info popup.** "Song info" in the `G` menu opens a centered popup with the title, artist, album, length, and ID. Press any key to close it.
+- **Redesigned `:` command menu.**
+- **Audio visualizer** in the bottomleft corner.
+- **Keybind hints** shown next to the volume control.
+- **Status toasts.** Messages such as "Queued…" and errors now appear as a small floating toast above the Now Playing bar. Errors are red and info messages are green.
+- `DRIFT_CONFIG_DIR` and `DRIFT_STATE_DIR` environment variables to override where Drift stores its config, playlists, and session.
+- Install hints for Scoop and winget when `mpv` or `yt-dlp` is missing.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Status messages no longer share the bottom border of the Now Playing bar. That border now only shows pending key presses.
+- On Windows, `mpv` and `yt-dlp` start without flashing a console window.
+- On Windows, `mpv` is stopped when Drift exits, including after a crash. This matches the existing Linux behavior.
+- Saving playlists and the session retries a few times if the file is briefly locked, which can happen on Windows with antivirus software.
+- Ctrl+Alt is no longer treated as Ctrl. On Windows, AltGr is reported as Ctrl+Alt, so characters like `@`, `\`, `{`, `[`, and `~` can now be typed in search and `:` commands.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Song info no longer appears as a cramped line at the bottom of the screen.
+- Tests no longer write to your real config folder on Windows.
