"Version X is available" in the top bar is now a button that opens an
Update popup:
- Update and restart gets the download link from the server (the redirect
is not followed, as the Gitea link needs no token), downloads the new game
next to the running one with a progress bar, checks it (complete, and an
MZ or ELF file), swaps it in and restarts. The quiz is saved first and
continues. On Windows the running .exe is renamed to .old, put back if
the swap fails, and deleted at the next start.
- Download in browser opens the .exe, the Linux package, or the release
page on other platforms.
- From the editor, an unwritable folder or another platform, only the
browser download is offered, with the reason.
The message now fits between the tabs and the buttons in every theme; in
Nord and Christmas it ran into Sync. The macOS export preset is removed,
and the unused download_client_* functions are replaced by
fetch_client_download_url.

Cover menu in the soundtrack popup ("Change cover"):
- Choose picture uploads a JPEG, PNG or WebP picture (up to 10 MB).
- Pick by ID uses a game's cover on SteamGridDB or an anime's on AniList.
- Remove cover deletes it, so the server searches for a new one.
- The server's reason is shown when it refuses a change.
After a change the new cover time is fetched, and the popup, the
statistics card and the quiz show the new cover.
Quiz: once the answer is shown, the soundtrack's cover shows to the left of
the titles. Cover and titles are centered together, left and right and up
and down, and each title keeps to two lines. Cover times come from the
soundtrack list, and songs keep their soundtrack's UUID, also in saves.
Requests can now send any body with its content type, and every 2xx answer
counts as success. Cover frames are 2:3 like the server's covers. Small
copies of real covers are used by the tests and screenshots.

The quiz is saved to current_quiz.json in the config folder after every
change, and the game goes on where it was when it starts again: the
players with their points and characters, every song with who got a point
for it and whether it was played, answered or is playing, and the songs
downloaded ahead with their files. The song that was playing is ready to
play again. Songs whose files are gone are downloaded again.
On a server, the saved songs are checked against the server's playlist. If
it changed, e.g. after a sync, or another server is used, the quiz starts
over with the same players. A quiz from a music folder continues offline,
including how far a prepared quiz has come. A new game is saved like any
other change, and a file that can't be read starts a new quiz.
Characters can be read from a folder picked in Settings instead of the
server, for this session. A music folder with a characters folder brings
its own characters, e.g. for a themed quiz; that folder is not counted as
a soundtrack. When the characters come from somewhere else, players pick
their characters again.

Settings has a Music folder row. A folder with subfolders is played as
soundtracks: Next picks a random subfolder and a random song in it, the
subfolder is the answer's soundtrack and the file name without its type the
song. The inspiration list and Search show the subfolders.
A folder with songs and no subfolders is a prepared quiz, played once in order
(natural sort) or at random, showing only the song title. It has no winning
score: after the last song Next becomes Show winner, and the players with the
most points win, ties included.
While a folder is used nothing but the characters is asked from the server:
Sync, QR, Statistics, the update check and play counting are off. Characters
fall back to the cached pictures when the server can't be reached. mp3, ogg and
wav play; other files and broken ones are skipped.
The old local playback code, the hidden Open button and the hidden Local toggle
are removed. Next now waits for the song to start before preparing the next one.
Character pictures are kept in characters/ next to the settings, with an
index.json of when the server last changed each one and when it was
downloaded. Only new or changed pictures are downloaded, using the server's new
/character/details. Older servers fall back to the name list, and pictures are
downloaded again after 7 days.
Downloaded songs are written to songs/ and only their paths are kept in memory.
The folder is emptied when the game starts and when the playlist resets.
- A Quiz settings button under the player bar opens a small card above
it with the quiz settings, including Auto repeat, which moves there
from under the player bar. The card does not dim the quiz, so it can
be changed during a song, and grows to fit its rows.
- A Settings button in the top bar opens the application settings:
server, fullscreen and songs to download ahead. Quick sync is gone,
as the server no longer has it, and the server list is in Settings.
- Labels use sentence case, and seconds to hide show as whole numbers.
- Debug builds switch to the local server and a low winning score in
the Settings autoload, before any scene asks the server for anything.
The DEBUG label moves to the top bar, so it shows on every tab.
- Search moves from the top bar back to the quiz toolbar, as the
Statistics tab has its own search.
The Winner popup now shows every player's score after each song as a
step line, with the winning score marked, and three facts under it: the
longest streak, the longest standstill and the song most players scored
on. The data comes from the points each song already records, through
the new ScoreHistory. The popup grows to 1600x920 with the graph across
the full width, so a 60-song game with five players stays readable.
Reset points now starts a new game: it clears the points on the songs
and the graph starts after the song that was playing. Songs already on
the server at startup count as an earlier game.
The screenshot tour has a long five-player game, and only the Winner
popup differs from before.
main/ holds the main window and top bar, quiz/ the quiz and its parts,
player/ the music player, popups/ every popup and what they share, data/ the
songs, players, playlist and settings, server/ the MusicServer client,
common/ the list row and GameLog, and themes/ the themes and style boxes.
