Settings > Played History). - Live display controls — temporary Show Message (5–60s) and Blackout / Resume, with a smarter status bar.
- Now Playing source — follow almost any app via the OS media session (SMTC on Windows, MPRIS on Linux).
- Smarter backgrounds — keep-existing with a Readability blur/dim, color, single image, and slideshow modes, plus artist/orchestra overlays and cover art as background.

- More players — Foobar2000 via Beefweb, VirtualDJ, AIMP (Windows), and fixes for MediaMonkey, JRiver, Mixxx, iTunes, Spotify, and Icecast.
- Profiles — separate named setups for different venues or nights.
- Rules — the Cut / Trim rule works on any tag, and hide conditions support tag / operator / value with comma-separated lists.
- Auto-save — no Save button; changes apply live and save on exit.
