DOPAMINE 2.0 PREVIEW 2
14/10/2018 Raphaël Off Dopamine
Hello world!

Today is a great day: Dopamine 2.0 Preview 2 is ready for consumption!

The road to this preview was challenging. I decided to add 2 very demanded features: Folder view and Smart playlists.
I’ve kept delaying the implementation of Smart playlists (since version 1.3, I believe), because I was scared of it. That fear appeared to be justified: it was a colossal task. So, I’m glad the basic implementation is done. Adding extra functionality should be a lot easier. Folder view was not so hard. But I took some shortcuts to make my life easier and to keep the code base clean.
So now, I’m very curious about user feedback concerning both these new features.

The look and feel of the UI didn’t change much since the last preview. What did change however: I decided to remove the drawer menu and hidden hamburger icon. Two reasons to motivate that choice:

1. Accessing the drawer’s items required too many clicks
2. The hamburger menu was hidden behind the headphone logo, and that wasn’t clear for everyone.

Instead, the options from the drawer menu are now in a totally visible hamburger menu at the top right of the main window.
Adding music should now also be easier than it ever was. The collection settings have been moved to a “Add music” option in the new hamburger menu.

Alright enough talking. Below is the full change log for this preview. I hope you enjoy it.
And don’t forget, if you enjoy my efforts: please consider donating. Thanks!

DOPAMINE 1.5.3

22/11/2017 Raphaël Off Dopamine
Hi everyone!

Dopamine 1.5 contained a lot of under-the-hood changes and improvements which have been tested thoroughly before release. Unfortunately, the real world is always a different beast than the testing sandbox when it comes to software. Multiple critical and some less critical issues were found. So I jumped on the bugs as fast as I could, and most of the problems have been ironed out thanks to zero day releases 1.5.1 and 1.5.2.

Today, I have the pleasure to announce that there is yet another bugfix release of Dopamine available: Dopamine 1.5.3. This release tackles issues that were reported after the 1.5.2 release and should make Dopamine 1.5 finally stable for everyone. This is the change log:

– [Changed] Updated the French translation
– [Changed] Updated the German translation
– [Changed] Updated the Swedish translation
– [Changed] Updated the Turkish translation
– [Fixed] Korean language file is missing in installable version
– [Fixed] Indexing fails for all files if 1 of the files has a path which is too long
– [Fixed] Some broken files generate faulty artists, genres and albums in the collection during indexing
– [Fixed] Portable version update notification forwards the user to the installer instead of download location
– [Fixed] Files with special characters fail to play

– [Fixed] A thick accented window border is displayed when maximized with a hidden Windows Taskbar
– [Fixed] Last selected settings page is not remembered when going back to Settings from the Collection or Information pages

– [Fixed] Menu texts not updated when switching language


DOPAMINE 1.5.1

20/11/2017 Raphaël Off Uncategorized
Hi everyone!

Well, that is embarrassing :) Dopamine 1.5 was release not even an hour ago and it is already causing issues on a select number of computers. The joys of software development. I’ve pinpointed the issue and fixed it. Dopamine 1.5.1 is now available and can be downloaded here.

This is the change log:

– [Fixed] Potential database issues while indexing album covers in the background


DOPAMINE 1.5

20/11/2017 Raphaël Off Uncategorized
Hi everyone!

Today I have the pleasure to announce that Dopamine 1.5 has been released!

So, where is version 1.4? Well, there was no version 1.4. However, I didn’t do a Microsoft 7 ate 9 just because I can :). There’s a technical reason for the version jump.

So, why 1.5?

First of all, I decided to stop providing preview builds. There is a lot of time in between 2 releases. Some users fill that gap by using the previews. By doing so, they can enjoy new features very quickly. Other users don’t want to use the previews because “preview” sounds unstable. So they prefer to wait until the next release is available. By doing so, they miss out on a lot of new features and fixes.

So, as the previews are always pretty stable, I decided to re-brand them as releases. This means 2 things:

1. Releases will follow each other more quickly, but will have a more limited set of features per release than past releases.
2. The build number will be dropped. Instead, a simple version number will be used. E.g.: 1.5 for a release, 1.5.1 for a bugfix release.

A full version number always contains 4 digits, although I’m only sowing those that aren’t “0”. For version 1.5, that means that the full version number is 1.5.0.0.

When you launch the Dopamine MSI installer, it compares the full version number of the Dopamine that is already installed on your computer with the full version number of the Dopamine that you are trying to install. If the Dopamine that you’re trying to install is newer (meaning it has a larger version number), you’re allowed to proceed with the installation. Otherwise, you get a warning and the installation stops.

Because I’ve already made some 1.4 previews available (which have a full version number like 1.4.0.x) and I don’t want to break updates for people which are using the previews, I had to choose a version number which is larger than 1.4.0.x. The options were: 1.4.x.0 or 1.5.0.0. As I’d like to keep the 3rd digit for bugfix releases, I chose 1.5.0.0. Simple, no? :)

Update notification

It is expected if Dopamine 1.3 didn’t give you a notification about Dopamine 1.5 being available. The update notification system on the website has been greatly improved. Dopamine 1.5 supports the new update notification system. Dopamine 1.3 doesn’t. That’s why it won’t detect this update.

A word about the future

As you’ll see in the change log, the audio decoder was changed in this version. Dopamine is now using the well known FFmpeg to decode audio files. That adds some new possibilities for the future, like streaming support.

For the next Dopamine release (1.6) playlist support will be rebuilt. The playlists screen will get a more optimal layout and smart playlist will be added.

In Dopamine 1.7, I’d like to have a look at streaming support. Somewhere in between (I’m not sure yet when that will be planned) I’ll rebuild lyrics support. As I find it rather archaic right now.

Alright, enough talking! Here is the Dopamine 1.5 change log:

– [Added] Added a Context Menu option to play (enqueue) selected tracks
– [Added] Added option to use native Windows 10 notifications
– [Added] The artists information screen now shows an image for similar artists
– [Added] Added option to toggle display of song covers in playlists and Now playing
