1.0 beta 5

Final release for the end of the year:

• volume, shuffle and repeat toggles
• menu bar icon
• fixed Spotify reopening
• shortcuts from popup window: w - open Spotify window, x - toggle shuffle, r - toggle repeat
• system-wide controls improved
• better drawables
• lots of other improvements

As always, delete the old app file to avoid multiple instances of the app running in background.

Beta 4

Warning: only keep one copy of the app (replace the old one), otherwise system-wide controls app button will fire up more instances. Probably a macOS bug.

Fourth beta release:

• 10.12.2+ only
• slightly bigger popup
• added playback info on popup window
• added playback controls on popup window
• switch to ScriptingBridge for interacting with Spotify
• invalidate timer on track switch (better performance and power usage)
• more internal improvements

Coming soon: shuffle, repeat and volume controls. Maybe playlists?

Beta 3

Third beta release:

• system-wide controls like iTunes (yay!) using MPNowPlayingInfo. Thanks @KhaosT
• other improvements

Beta 2

Second beta release:

• slimmer slider knob
• limit song name label length
• close overlay window with Escape key too
• control playback with spacebar and left/right arrow
• under the hood improvements
• .transient window flag instead of .canJoinAllSpaces (window doesn't pop anymore when changing workspace)
