Spotifast 0.11.1 shows emoji in colour everywhere, comes as an AppImage, selects songs with the arrow keys, and wears a refreshed icon. It also fixes local playback on Windows on ARM, the volume jumping back after a reconnect, and a dozen smaller problems reported since 0.11.0.

*The icon before and after.*

## New

- **Emoji in colour, everywhere.** Names, lyrics, menus, tooltips and text fields such as the search box now draw emoji in colour, in the system's own emoji font. By @crmne.
- **Spotifast as an AppImage.** Each release now includes `spotifast-X.Y.Z-x86_64.AppImage` and `spotifast-X.Y.Z-aarch64.AppImage`: one file, make it executable and run it, no installation. By @crmne.
- **Select songs with the arrow keys, remove them with Delete.** In a playlist, album or Liked Songs, up and down now select the song they land on, and Shift extends the selection. In a playlist you can edit, Delete (and Backspace on macOS) removes the selected songs. By @shrinikets. (#585)
- **Remove from this playlist on the playing song.** Right-clicking the song in the player bar now offers the removal while it plays from a playlist you can edit. By @TacticalDeux. (#592)
- **A refreshed icon.** The play triangle is larger, has softly rounded corners and sits in the centre of the disc, and the disc has a polished rim and a lit face. By @crmne.

## Fixed

- **Local playback works on Windows on ARM.** Turning it on answered "Premium account required" on ARM computers, because Spotify did not recognise the platform Spotifast announced. By @crmne; thanks @watermarkhu. (#123)
- **The volume you set survives a reconnect.** When the Spotify session dropped and came back, the volume returned to the level Spotifast started with: music turned down to 5% could come back at 80%. A volume set before this computer became the active device is kept too. By @queueeee. (#589)
- **The window drags from the top of every panel with the custom title bar.** On Windows, grabbing the top of the window over the sidebar, the queue or the lyrics did nothing. By @Outfluencer. (#590)
- **Clearing the search stays on the page you are on.** The clear button opened the search page. By @theworker02; thanks @D3SOX. (#609, #596)
- **A single song starts on a phone or speaker.** Playing or resuming a one-song context on another device failed with "Non supported context uri". By @Magniquick. (#605)
- **Spotify's own mixes line up.** A playlist whose songs carry no added dates no longer reserves an empty Date added column that pushed the album names out from under their heading. By @Magniquick. (#607)
- **The visualizer's tooltip stays off the controls.** "Click to change the visualizer" followed the pointer onto the play button and the seek bar and covered their tooltips. By @Magniquick. (#606)
- **A settings file saved by Windows PowerShell or Notepad is read.** Such a file starts with a byte order mark; Spotifast rejected it, fell back to the defaults and then saved them over your settings. By @kevin9327. (#617)
- **A skin unpacked with Windows' Extract All appears in the list.** Its files sit one folder deeper, which Spotifast could read but did not list. By @kevin9327. (#618)
- **The MilkDrop sliders match the other settings.** Time per preset and Frame rate now have the same shape, font and colours as the controls around them. By @nos1609. (#600)
- **The cover stays put while full-screen lyrics load.** It moved aside for the lyrics and back again when a song had none; it now waits in the middle, with "Loading…" beneath it, and moves only once there are words to show. By @crmne.

## Known limitations

- The AppImage bundles no libraries: it needs glibc 2.39 or newer and your desktop's own libraries, like the DEB and RPM. It does not update itself; download the new file when Spotifast says a release is out. Running it needs FUSE, or `--appimage-extract-and-run`.
