discogs_player v0.2.3

Summary

Release type: stable Tag: v0.2.3 Date: 2026-06-28 Scope: first-run / supportability polish (in-app "Report a problem", clearer web setup errors, quieter snap first launch) plus internal quality hardening (CI lint/type/test gates, shared coercion utilities, webapp unit tests).

Who This Is For

Discogs Spinner is for record collectors who already use Discogs and want a faster daily utility than browser tabs. Bring a Discogs personal access token, sync your collection once, then browse your shelf, spin a random pick, inspect market value, and review wantlist context from one local app.

Highlights

Adds an in-app "Report a problem" path — a header-menu entry in the GTK desktop app and a persistent footer link in the web/desktop app — so reporting an issue no longer requires hunting for the repository. Makes web setup errors clearer by distinguishing token/auth failures from network failures, matching the desktop setup wizard's wording. Quiets repeated GLib schema warnings on first snap launch by precompiling the bundled GSettings schemas. Hardens the launcher: a broken or partial PyGObject install now shows the install-dependencies guidance instead of a raw traceback. Internal quality: CI now enforces lint, type checking, the full Python test suite, and webapp lint/type/tests on every change; duplicated coercion helpers were consolidated into shared modules; and the webapp gained its first unit-test suite (vitest).

Windows installer (guided): Discogs Spinner_0.2.3_x64-setup.exe Windows installer (MSI): Discogs Spinner_0.2.3_x64_en-US.msi Linux desktop installer (GTK): discogs-spinner-gtk4_0.2.3_amd64.deb Linux desktop installer (Tauri): discogs-spinner-tauri_0.2.3_amd64.deb Linux portable installer: Discogs Spinner_0.2.3_amd64.AppImage macOS installer (Apple Silicon): Discogs Spinner_0.2.3_aarch64.dmg macOS installer (Intel): Discogs Spinner_0.2.3_x64.dmg Checksums: CHECKSUMS-INSTALLERS.txt Manifest: INSTALLER-MANIFEST.txt

Install And Setup

Windows quickstart: docs/quickstart_windows.md Debian quickstart: docs/quickstart_debian.md macOS quickstart: docs/quickstart_macos.md Discogs token setup: docs/token_setup.md

First 10 Minutes

1. Install from the Snap Store on Linux, or download the installer for your OS.
2. Launch Discogs Spinner.
3. Paste your Discogs personal access token into the setup wizard.
4. Run the first sync.
5. Use Browse or Spin to choose a record, then open Value or Wantlist for context.

Validation Evidence

Installer workflow: published the expected cross-platform assets via Installer Build. Release asset verification: CHECKSUMS-INSTALLERS.txt and INSTALLER-MANIFEST.txt published with the release assets. Linux metadata validation: pass (venv/bin/python scripts/validate_linux_packaging_metadata.py). CI quality gates: lint (ruff + mypy), full Python test suite, and webapp lint/type/tests all green on the release commit.

Known Limitations

macOS builds are currently unsigned and may require a one-time Gatekeeper quarantine removal. Windows builds may show SmartScreen warnings until signing is added. Optional playback providers remain optional; Discogs collection, value, wantlist, and discovery workflows work without Spotify configured. Linux users should start with the Snap Store listing. The GTK .deb, Tauri .deb, and AppImage remain alternate direct-download paths.

Upgrade / Migration Notes

Breaking changes: none. Existing local data and config paths are unchanged. Existing cached cover art and synced collection data remain compatible.
