New in this release

Sharing (preview)

A new nice feature is the ability to generate a sharing link for a track/album/artist/playlist to send to friends, so that they can listen to the music without having an account on your Navidrome server. This is a nice alternative to YouTube links to share music. Sharing works from the UI and from Subsonic clients that support this feature.

NOTE: The sharing feature is complete but misses fine-grained permissions. Because of that it is disabled by default. If you want to give it a try, you can enable it by setting EnableSharing=true in your config, or the environment var ND_ENABLESHARING=true. Just remember that once enabled all users (not only admins) will have full permission to share and change existing shares.

Revamped Artwork Resolution

Various issues with artwork were resolved in this release, including support for local artists images. Also, playlist covers are now generated as a tiled (2x2) image from the album covers (only supported in Subsonic clients for now). To learn more, see Artwork Resolution in the documentation.

Internet Radio

You can now add your favorite Internet Radio streams to Navidrome and listen to them directly in the UI or in Subsonic clients that support this feature. Big thanks to @kgarner7 for implementing this.

As usual, a big thanks to all contributors who helped in this release.
