# [2.5.0] - 03.04.2025 ## Whatâs Changed ### Server 2.5.0 Time for yet another great release. We've had a bit shorter beta cycle this time but still the release is packed with new providers, awesome new features and tons of bugfixes and small enhancements. My personal favorite of this release is the builtin player so you can take listen to your favorite tunes on the device you use to browse the webinterface. Subscribed to Home Assistant cloud and running the official Music Assistant add-on ? We have a treat for you: Using the builtin player will work (out of the box and completely secure) everywhere around the world! Oh and we now support recommendations on the homescreen (which is now also fully customizable btw). A HUGE thank you for all contributors, beta testers, volunteers providing support and everyone else involved, you're all amazing!

### Frontend # [2.4.0] - 25.02.2025 ## Whatâs Changed The 2.4 release is packed with new features, new providers and loads a huge amount of bugfixes and all kind of improvements overall. Streaming should be better, smoother and more stable than ever! Thanks to all contributors, beta testers and everyone else involved with this release! **Some highlights:** - Music Assistant now has native support for Podcasts and Audiobooks. - Various new providers have been added to support podcasts and/or audiobooks. - Existing providers that now have support for Audiobooks are Subsonic, YouTube and the local files provider. - Music Assistant now has a built-in, sophisticated DSP, which you can configure per player. - Music Assistant now has native support for "external audio sources", which can be provided either by players themselves (source control) or by plugins. The first plugin to deliver this functionality is Spotify Connect. - Music Assistant now has support for "Player Controls" which let you outsource e.g. the volume or power control for a player to a Home Assistant entity. [And much, much more!](https://github.com/music-assistant/server/compare/2.3.6...2.4.0) ## â Breaking Changes In previous versions, Music Assistant always used a power control (on/off) for every player, even if a player does not even exist power control natively. Now, with the new "Player controls" feature this has become a user choice. If you like to get the old behavior back where you can power on/off every player, go into the player settings and assign "fake power" in the player controls section. ## ð Bugfixes There have been countless bugfixes and (performance) improvements. Most important being that the streaming is now more robust to all kind of scenarios. ## ð Features - #1937 - Add audiobooks and podcasts support to local filesystem provider (@marcelveldt) - #1925 - Add Player Controls feature (@marcelveldt) - #1924 - YTMusic: Add podcast support (@MarvinSchenkel) - #1921 - Display complete "audio path" details in the frontend (@maximmaxim345) - #1922 - Add missing file extensions for filesystem provider (@maximmaxim345) - #1875 - Add DSP pipeline details to stream information (@maximmaxim345) - #1857 - Add Audiobookshelf audiobooks & podcast provider (@fmunkes) - #1858 - Add Spotify connect provider (@marcelveldt) - #1852 - Various fixes and enhancements for the Soundcloud provider (@robsonke) - #1842 - Add Audible audiobook provider (@ztripez) - #1839 - Add multi device DSP support (@maximmaxim345) - #1844 - Performance improvements for filesystem provider (@marcelveldt) # [2.3.6] - 07.01.2025 ## Whatâs Changed * A few (temporary) measurements to prevent too much load at startup and calls to streaming providers * Fix some streaming issues # [2.3.5] - 02.01.2025 ## Whatâs Changed * A couple of small bugfixes * Fix playback issues on Home Assistant Voice PE **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/music-assistant/server/compare/2.3.4...2.3.5 # [2.3.4] - 20.12.2024 ## Whatâs Changed - #1796 - fix: Subsonic: Fix album art missing from playlist display (@khers) - #1808 - Fix: Rewrite YT stream resolver to use web formats.
