Please report any issues or regressions with this version as it has a lot of changes.

1.7.0p2

UI changes

The Now Playing screen has been updated and some default settings changed:

new playback buttons and seek bar

new Stop button

on phones, in portrait, track title and artist are displayed in Action bar

Settings > Display > Background cover derives background from cover. Enabled by default on tablets.

swiping the cover up/down increase or decrease volume by the configured volume step

tap and long-press on cover actions can be configured in Settings > Now Playing. By default, tap shows metadata and long-press shows action menu

on phone devices, it is now possible to show the volume slider in landscape

cover aspect ratio is now preserved by default. Previous behavior can be set in Settings > Now Playing > Scale cover to fit

the volume slider is only shown by default on 10" tablets. It can be changed in Settings > Now Playing > Show volume slider

Other notable UI tweaks

The current volume value and mute status is displayed in the JB rich notification and in widgets

tablets now use the transparent UI, same as phones

Settings > Display > Background cover also apply to album folder view in Library

Settings > Experimental UI has been removed

Library folder animation is disabled by default on 10" tablets

On Android 2.x, the app now looks more similar to Android 4.x

New features

support browsing and streaming media from the SkyDrive cloud service

search results now include Google Music. Albums whose title or artist name contain the search string are returned. Searching track titles is *not* supported

added ability to prevent automatic playlist track advance if playback is stopped mid-track by another control point or from the renderer's own UI: Settings > UPnP Tweaks > Detect remote Stop (disabled by default).

Enable with care as it might mess up regular track advance

added Devices > Menu > Disable discovery. Disabling discovery can be useful if many UPnP devices spam their presence on the network or to slightly reduce CPU/battery usage

added Settings > Control > Pause Pause stops playback. If enabled, all the Pause buttons (Now Playing, notification, widget) will perform a Stop. Useful for renderers that do not support pausing at all
