GoneMAD Music Player 3.0 Release

After four years of development, including a full year in alpha and another full year in beta, GoneMAD Music Player 3.0 is finally here.  It is a complete rewrite built around the same audio engine.  This means a brand new UI.  Nearly all the features from 2.x have also made a return and most of them have been significantly improved.  Some users, however, might be sad that the holo themes are gone, but old versions of GMMP can still be downloaded from the Downloads  page and on the forums .  I also set up a guide for customizing 3.0 to look similar to the Holo themes . Note: Thanks to everyone who participated in the beta.  The feedback received was great.  Be sure to leave the beta so you only get stable releases from now on.   How to leave the beta:  On GMMP's playstore page, scroll down towards the bottom until you see a "You're a beta tester" section.  There should be a leave button underneath that. Note 2: 3.0 moves most of the UI related settings and configurati

3.0 should be fully released sometime next week.  I've also been populating a lot of the help pages that can be accessed from within the app.  I'll finish up the rest of them this week most likely 3.0 RC 1 (2021/01/23): Fixes: Fixed crash with quick nav in folder view Updated simple settings and removed an unused setting 'Songs' in album details should now get translated Fixed issues with play next/prev album where it would repeat the same album Context menu is now disabled when multi-select is active Pinned smart playlists should now refresh properly after changes to the playlist Other various fixes

GoneMAD Music Player 3.0 Beta 17

3.0 is basically complete at this point.  Unless a massive bug pops up, 3.0 should be fully released by the end of the month.  There may be one or 2 more updates if there are translation updates or new bugs that are reported, but I've gotten through the massive 3.0 bug list and fixed everything that I think needs to be fixed for 3.0.

GoneMAD Music Player 3.0 Beta 15

 Beta 15 is mostly just fixes.  In my local debug build I enabled this library called Leak Canary which lets you run the app and will automatically detect memory leaks.  The 3.0 beta had TONS of leaks, so most of the time spent since the last update was on fixing the memory leaks.  I had to rework some of the UI code so hopefully nothing was broken.  If any button / item click no longer works please let me know.   Moving forward updates should be on a more regular basis.  Frequent updates help the translators out.  Help out with translating here:  https://localazy.com/p/gonemad-music-player   There is also a translation channel set up on the GMMP discord. Beta 15 (2021-01-03): New: Each detail view now has its own 'enabled views' setting Added help menus. Help pages are currently placeholders and will be populated later Added option to disable help menus (UI -> Show Help Menu) Update some translations Added ability to customize navigation drawer displayed metadata Fix
