Phonon

0.3.0

For Minecraft 26.2. This release promotes the 0.3 beta line, including stations, playlists, portable boomboxes, in-game track search, and speaker controls. Minecraft 1.21.1 remains on 0.3.0-beta.4; other targets retain their existing releases.

Fixes and performance

• Fix native memory growth during extended playback on Minecraft 26.2.
• Hovering a stopped boombox no longer crashes the client.
• Private speakers save their current playback position when their chunk unloads.
• Selecting a track beyond the first 2,000 library entries plays the selected track.
• Concurrent audio transfers share bandwidth, so one track no longer waits for another track's entire download.
• Capacity rejections retry with bounded backoff; failed transfers leave buffering and show the playback error state.
• Station edits coalesce disk saves, and playback changes synchronize only the station view that changed.

Clients and servers must both update because the audio transfer protocol changed.

Validation

• Tested on November 4, 2026: Minecraft 26.2, NeoForge 26.2.0.93, Java 25.0.3, macOS on Apple Silicon; functional source commit e41eb02.
• All 62 automated tests passed, with a successful CI build.
• A 68-minute dedicated-server soak passed 384 live assertions, followed by a successful server restart with shared playback, paused position, and volume preserved.
• Checks covered concurrent streaming, retry limits, cache eviction, chunk unload, pause/resume/seek, resource reloads, reconnects, and the stopped-boombox tooltip.
• PCM buffers were repeatedly reclaimed during extended playback.
• Soaked artifact SHA-256: 656566e88680e3751ca91c859a844cd2ca5e743260e96525aec995d410215c97.
