This release is largely to fix issues affecting the usability of Radiant Player. However, the largest piece of news is that development of Radiant Player has been moved into an organization on GitHub, and a few collaborators have been brought on board in order to help develop Radiant Player and fix outstanding issues. Thank you to everyone who pushed for this! I'm sorry for the incredible delay between versions and addressing major issues, but hopefully this will be less of concern going forward with the new organization.
- Use the Sparkle update framework for more intuitive and user-friendly update process
- Fix broken styling in Black theme (thanks @shawn-mitch)
- Fix broken media keys by catching up to Google update
- Fix broken Last.fm scrobbling in OS X 10.11 El Capitan (thanks @chrismou)
This is a small release that fixes the main bugs that made Radiant Player entirely unusable for a little while now. My apologies to everyone for being so unavailable, and thank you to those that provided unofficial binaries and code changes.
- Fixed styling errors (fixes #340)
- Used new copy of Web Components fallback (fixes #352, thank you @jacobwgillespie)
- Radiant Player launches properly on OS X El Capitan
At long last, the actual next version! Many thanks to all the testers of the two beta releases, and I will certainly be continuing to look into the outstanding issues that a couple users have reported. Also, very many thanks to everybody who was patiently waiting for this release ever since the Google Play Music redesign! I would have liked a much shorter release window, but hopefully this version is satisfactory enough to forgive that! Enjoy.
- Support Google Play Music's latest redesign
- Add support for
⌘[and⌘]keyboard shortcuts to go forward and backward (fixes #296, thanks @gholts) - Implement
⌘A(select all) shortcut (fixes #317)
- Mac OS X 10.8 is no longer supported (see #291 for progress, if any, on the possibility of re-instating support)
- Removed all styles except for Google and Black (formerly Spotify Black) due to incompatibility with the new redesign; I will be looking into porting one or two of the original styles to the new design
- Allow mini player to be used in other full screen applications (fixes #79)
- Open release page instead of home page when a new version is available
- Prevent brief 'ghost' mini player while switching spaces (fixes #309)
- Allow reload button to be clicked when internet connectivity is lost while first loading Google Play Music (fixes #313)
- Prevent dragging of file onto main window (fixes #307, thanks @nielstholenaar)
This second beta has a few minor changes, and unless there are app-breaking bugs, the stable version will be released no later than tomorrow night. The main changes:
- Minor polish of the dark style
- Tweak stylesheet to support when songs are selected
- Re-enable ⌘A functionality to select all
- Allow reload button to be clicked when internet connectivity is lost
There was also a change that will prevent the startup crashes on Mac OS X 10.8, which have been present since v1.3.3. However, for my machine, Google Play Music does not load in Radiant Player, while it does work properly in Safari. It appears that, at least for me, the version of WebKit used by applications and the version used by Safari differ on the same machine. In order to allow the majority of users to appreciate the working version of Radiant Player, I will be releasing the next stable version while dropping official support for Mac OS X 10.8. If you are on Mountain Lion and this beta does work properly, please do contact me! I will also try to investigate in the future whether it will be possible to re-extend support to include Mac OS X 10.8.
My apologies everyone for getting this out so late! Between a family emergency and a new internship, it's been difficult to find the time to work on Radiant Player recently but I am still fully intending to support the application!
This beta release catches up to the Google Play Music redesign, along with a few other fixes. Some themes have been deprecated as they no longer work with the redesign, although I will look into porting selected ones to the new design (probably the iTunes-type styles). Currently, there is the default Google style and there is the Black style (formerly Spotify Black).
My apologies! In a major oversight, I managed to include the usage of a OS X 10.10 only method which appears to be causing crashes on OS X 10.9 and below. This new version contains that fix!
It also contains a new feature, which is a preference that allows you to show the current song's album art as the dock icon! Many thanks to @matthewlloyd for that one.
This release took a ridiculous amount of time, my apologies!
Many thanks to all of the contributors and users! With the creation of the beta release channel, it should be easier to get new features out to users to test without harming the experience of users who want the stable product.
- Introduce release channels
stableandbeta, which can be changed in the Preferences menu - New style, Light (thanks @stevenla)
- Warn user when Flash plug-in is out-of-date and blocked

- Asynchronously load album art for notifications (fixes #262)
- Many, many others!
- The option to "Use Safari cookies" was broken in the recently released 1.3.0, so this is a quick release that fixes that bug.
Radiant Player is (for the most part), Yosemite ready! There will be some problems here and there where I wasn't able to get to polishing the release for the sake of having this out before Yosemite is publicly released, so let me know about all the dents and scratches that I can work on.
My apologies that it took so long to release something, and that many of you in the beta were stuck with the pesky Library error. Please let me know if there are issues with this release on any platform!
- Create Yosemite style and Spotify Black Vibrant style
- Update styles for OS X Yosemite
- Fix separate cookie storage
Many thanks to @tonybaroneee for style updates, as well as to all the contributors that reported this problem.

Lots of new features! In this release, the project has also finally completed the transition from google-music-mac to the name radiant-player-mac.
Many thanks to @tonybaroneee, @joshgordon, @se-bastiaan, @codingismy11to7, @apfelbox, and all of the contributors and users!
- Separate cookie storage from Safari by default (for OS X 10.9 and above only)

So the name change is a pretty noticeable feature. Google's trademark team contacted me recently and politely asked that I change the name of the application and use a different logo. This is what I came up with (picking a name is surprisingly difficult, as is icon design). This release is a little light on new features as I had to implement this name change as soon as possible.
Update checking should work correctly for now as the repository name is still correct, though given enough time (maybe a week) I will rename the repository to something like radiant-player-mac.
- Introduce alternate mini player (preview)
- Implement seamless title bar for original Google theme #73)
- Introduce dark style, similar to Spotify
- Prevent crash when internet or GitHub is down (fixes #73)
- Activate application when clicking on a notification (fixes #66)
- Prevent crash when using the wrong password for Last.fm on OS X 10.8 (fixes #81)
- Seems that the uploaded version v1.1.0 build had a problem with the preferences window not properly opening. This v1.1.1 should be working correctly.
Many thanks to @JamesFator, @anantn, @zfy0701, @daktales, @zwaldowski, and everybody who opened up issues for progress towards this release.
