Third Release of Harmonic Apolo: Enhancing Organization and Usability
The third release of Harmonic Apolo brings harmonious changes that enhance the organization and usability, through simplicity and efficiency. By refactoring the codebase and introducing a separation between the Model and GUI, this release focuses on making the code more maintainable and easier to understand. Also focuses on bringing changes that make the program easier to use.
What has changed?
-
Architecture Pattern: The project now employs a separation between Model and GUI, aiming to organize the code better. While the MVC pattern may be considered in the future, this initial approach provides a solid foundation for continued development.
-
Refactored Codebase: The code has been streamlined and modulated for improved legibility and maintenance. This refactoring allows for a clearer structure and more efficient code management.
-
Fixed Linux Playlist Initialization: A bug affecting the automatic initialization of a playlist with music from the Linux music directory has been corrected, ensuring smoother functionality for Portuguese speaking users.
-
Corrected JRE Path: The path of the JRE has been properly set for package creation, ensuring the executable functions correctly.
-
Drag and Drop Functionality: Users can now add songs to a playlist more easily through drag and drop functionality onto the playlist panel.
Installation Instructions:
-
Download the Harmonic-Apolo.jar file for any operating system or Harmonic-Apolo.exe natively for Windows.
-
Make sure you have Java installed on your system if you want to use the jar. Java version issues may result in incorrect drag-and-drop functionality or JVM issues in the .jar file (running the program via terminal eliminates these problems).
-
Run the Harmonic-Apolo.jar or Harmonic-Apolo.exe file to start the music player.
