v0.9.2

Fixed

• Fixed reloading feeds not propagating saved playback position.

v0.9.1

Added

• @tistatos - Playback position is saved/restored when restarting the client.
• @tistatos - Created add_only_unplayed_episodes config option for playing/queueing a feed.
• @DGambrinus - Maintain playback speed when playing different episodes.

Changed

• To improve performance, the client now (by default) uses an in-memory database, which is only saved to disk when the client is closed. This can be disabled with the restrict_memory_usage config option.
• Improved the performance of importing subscriptions (especially those with many feeds).

Fixed

• @tistatos - Fixed episode data not being deleted when removing feeds.
• Fixed player volume occasionally not being retained when switching between episodes.
• Fixed exception with terminals that don't support an invisible cursor mode.

Added

• Added a config option for the default playback volume.

Fixed

• Fixed new episodes not being properly sorted in the menu.
• Fixed detection for feeds with an empty title tag (they still aren't allowed, but we explicitly check for this now).

v0.8.1

Added

• Added the e key to execute a system command on an episode. Command can
  be configured with the execute_command option.
• Added volume control keybinds.
• Added config options to use a proxy.

Changed

• Made the help menu scrollable.
• Made separate keybinds for saving/deleting episodes for offline
  playback (s and x by default). Existing configs will be migrated.

Fixed

• Fixed an issue where feeds would, on some systems, not be displayed in order.

• Added the u key for displaying an episode URL in the status bar - Thanks @jose1711!
• Added a perspective to display downloaded episodes. Press 4 to access it.

Changed

• Reduced the default input timeout, which is tied to the display refresh rate. This will somewhat increase standby CPU usage. Users with low-end systems may wish to increase this timeout with the refresh_delay config setting.
• Improved reporting of errors when importing OPML files - Thanks @hebecked!
• Improved the overall UX of importing OPML files, with "live" database changes and status reports.
• Changed the file naming format for downloaded episodes. Episodes downloaded in earlier versions of castero will not be detected and must be re-downloaded.

• Added support for preserving the queue when restarting the client.
• Added support for 256 colors - Thanks @arza-zara!
