Changelog

All notable changes to Drift are documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog.

[Unreleased]

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.

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.
