2. 0.68.2

   October 8, 2026

   The now-playing title stays clear of the controls, and the grid-size slider sits with the compact playback bar.

3. 0.68.0

   October 7, 2026

   Tracks play through to the end, the window can close without quitting, and the Dock can start the browse you are on.

   Added

   • The Dock menu can pause, skip forward, and go back while something is playing.
   • From Albums, Artists, Songs, Genres, Composers, Favourites, or a genre page, the Dock can Play or Shuffle All that browse, and the menu names it.

   Improved

   • Closing the window leaves Smile and playback running. Click the Dock icon to bring the window back. Quit still exits.
   • The playback bar seek control is wider on medium windows.

   Fixed

   • With crossfade off, a track plays until it actually ends instead of jumping ahead about a second early.
