1.1.16 has been promoted from beta to stable. Thanks to everyone who beta-tested it.

Android users should be getting 1.1.16 already.
iOS version is in review and should be available shortly.

Windows 10 version refresh is being worked on.

Edit: The Windows 10 version is on hold again... Latest and greatest Visual Studio fails to compile our codebase with an internal compiler error.

Windows 10 status update

New build is in internal testing and will be hopefully made available to everyone next week.

Version 1.1.17 is being rolled out for all platforms - in beta-first-stable-later fashion.
Changes:

• Fixed a Media Library regression resulting in missing cover art [ details ]
• Fixed various operations resulting in rescanning of all Media Library folders. These now only rescan the affected folder.
• Android: Can add folders to Media Library using system folder picker again
• Improved FTP client compatibility with certain devices [ details ]

Android beta testers can get it already. If you want to be the first to get new iOS version updates, send me your Apple ID.

iOS beta testing is now open to everyone. You can now sign up automatically, without having to submit your Apple ID to me in order to become a tester.

Version 1.1.22 being posted for iOS+Android - beta first, stable soon if everything checks out.

Changes:

• Fixed bugs related to renaming folders.
• Android: Fixed a crash bug.
• Android: Fixed TuneFUSION compatibility issues with Android SD card filesystem.

There has been a shift in development priorities in recent months; Android having the most users has received more attention. The latest beta version of foobar2000 mobile now implements a variety of Android home screen widgets.

Also, standalone APK downloads site has just been updated to serve the latest build:

First the cool news:

Version 1.1.41 introduces first run setup screens on iOS and Android.
You will be prompted about the location of your music library as well as transferring your music from your computer.

Bugs in TuneFUSION sync have been sorted out, it now reliably transfers gigabytes of music over wifi.
You might wonder why foobar2000 promotes TuneFUSION (paid software) - TuneFUSION is developed by the same people (me and Spoon) as foobar2000 mobile, so if you pay for it, you support foobar2000 development just the same.

foobar2000 mobile for Android is now available for x86 64-bit, per new Google Play requirements.


Now, the less cool news:

foobar2000 mobile for Windows10/UWP is no longer getting new features, bug fixes only. First run setup and new TuneFUSION UI is for iOS and Android only. I'm not planning on writing any more Windows specific code for now, due to low popularity of the Windows 10 app.
