Changelog
QBZ 2.0.2 is a big maintenance release: a brand-new headless daemon you can drive entirely from the terminal, a touch-first Kiosk mode, an app-wide dynamic album-art background, and a wave of audio, casting and rendering work — all on the 2.0 rebuild. - Headless daemon (qbzd): a slint-free binary that plays music, scrobbles, exposes MPRIS and a full CLI/HTTP control plane, and configures itself over SSH — from a Raspberry Pi or a server - Kiosk mode: an opt-in touch-first interface (QBZ_PROFILE=kiosk) for touchscreens and small displays, with a live Kiosk↔Desktop toggle - Dynamic background: an app-wide album-art backdrop with ambient shaders and translucent chrome, plus a per-GPU selector - Truthful casting and quality: badges that report the delivered quality and name any downgrade, per-renderer quality caps, and honored streaming-quality when casting (#638) - Audio, rendering and library: ALSA-exclusive and DAC fixes, femtovg partial rendering, a mixed Library "All" feed, Catppuccin themes, and hardened credential storage
