Edit: Looks like the release build of alpha 12 is broken so i took down the links. Will try to fix asap
Edit 2: Fix is up. Download links should now point to 12a
Alpha 12 brings back widgets. They cannot be customized yet (will come in the beta) but in general they are much more responsive than the 2.x widgets. There are a lot of different customizations already coded, but since there is no UI for setting up the widgets yet I tried to find some good defaults.
Here are some of the customizations on the 4x1 widget
Alpha 12 also adds 2 new views. Podcast view and Years view. Podcast view is a bit of a look into a future feature that will allow custom library tabs to be created out of smart playlists. Behind the scenes the podcast view is just a smart playlist (genre contains podcast or filename contains podcast). The years view will show a list of years for all your tracks. Future updates wills allow year ranges to be used (like grouping by decade or a few year period). These views are not enabled by default and can be added to the library through the Customize -> View Order menu option.
The other big changes are the scanner will now automatically rescan files that change on your storage when a scan is ran. It looks at the last modified date of the file to see if that has changed. I've also fixed the issue where you were unable to play files not scanned into gmmp's database already. When attempting to play files not in the database, gmmp will start playing the files and will trigger the scanner to scan them in. Playback does start before the file is fully scanned so there is a small chance you may see an "Unknown" entry end up in one of the library views for a short period of time until the scan is finished.
