# MusicSCAN changelog
## 0.7.1 BETA — 2026-10-22
Fix recovery after loading screens, including a reported Delve-to-Silvermoon hearth.
- Restore the active MusicSCAN track after a loading-screen transition.
- Wait for loading to finish, then allow one second for zone audio to initialize.
- Keep the active track even when another row is highlighted.
- Cancel pending restoration on Stop, explicit Play, a subsequent transition or logout.
- Ignore stale callbacks so a canceled request cannot override a later choice.
- Clear the Playing display when recovery fails or Sound / Music is disabled.
- Preserve idle behavior after login and reload, Favorites and the existing catalog.
Recovery restarts the audio file; exact-position seeking is not available.
Local mocked lifecycle and catalog regression checks pass. In-game recovery
confirmation is pending; the 0.7.0 client checks remain the prior baseline.
## 0.7.0 BETA — 2026-10-21
First packaged beta, built from the tested 0.7.0 Favorites milestone.
- Added a clickable outline / filled star that targets the highlighted selection.
- Added an alphabetical Favorites category below expansion categories, with a count
and independent expand / collapse control.
- Saved favorites account-wide by audio FileDataID; retention across reload was
confirmed in-game.
- Included favorites in search and added the exact Favorites search shortcut.
- Preserved normal category fold choices while searching.
- Retained the 5,493-entry music catalog, chronological expansion groups,
alphabetical zones and tracks, native repetition, Play / Stop and saved layout.
- Separated the installable addon from catalog tooling and publishing assets.
- Added release documentation, source notes and coordinated MusicSCAN artwork.
Favoriting changes the saved list without starting, stopping or switching music.
The beta packaging changes version labels and comments without altering tested
playback or preference behavior.
## 0.6.0 — 2026-10-21
