• Unknown players are hidden by default. Add `[player.<name>]` ignore = false to bring one back.
• Full Changelog: https://github.com/lazykern/mprisence/compare/v1.6.0...v1.7.0

📋 Changes

• Player
• Replace polling with D-Bus event monitoring
• Config
• Add `event_driven` (default: `true`; set `false` to use polling)
• Remove deprecated `clear_on_pause`
• Default cover providers now prefer Catbox with Litterbox
• Rich Presence
• Fall back from `name` to `state` for the bundled app ID

📦 Summary

• Upgrade lofty from 0.23.3 to 0.24.0.

📦 Template

• Add `icontains` for case-insensitive substring matching in Handlebars templates alongside the existing `contains` and regex helpers

📦 Examples

• ```handlebars
• {{#if (contains player "Spotify")}}exact case{{/if}}
• {{#if (icontains player "spotify")}}case-insensitive{{/if}}
• {{#if (regex_is_match pattern="(?i)spotify" on=player)}}regex case-insensitive{{/if}}
• ```

📦 Template

• Add `contains`, plus `regex_is_match` and `regex_captures` from [`handlebars_misc_helpers`](https://github.com/davidB/handlebars_misc_helpers), for substring and regex-based matching in presence templates

📦 Dependencies

• Update core Rust dependencies: `clap` `4.5` -> `4.6.0`, `env_logger` `0.11.8` -> `0.11.10`, `smol_str` `0.3.4` -> `0.3.6`, `tokio` `1.48.0` -> `1.50.0`, `futures` `0.3` -> `0.3.32`, and `interprocess` `2.2.3` -> `2.4.0`
• Upgrade `toml` `0.9.12` -> `1.1.0`, `reqwest` `0.12.24` -> `0.13.2`, and `lofty` `0.22.3` -> `0.23.3`

📦 Config

• Add Gelly support (`bus name: io.m51.Gelly`)
• Enable `allow_streaming = true` for hosted music server players (Feishin, Supersonic, Gelly)

📦 Cover Art

• Treat authenticated/self-hosted API image URLs (Subsonic/OpenSubsonic/Navidrome/Jellyfin patterns) as non-direct and re-host them through configured providers instead of caching them as direct.
• Invalidate cached direct entries that are no longer eligible under the stricter URL policy and fall back to provider-based hosting.

📋 What's Changed

• Fix
• Handle `playerctld`'s `NoActivePlayer` D-Bus error without leaving stale Discord presence behind ([#76](https://github.com/lazykern/mprisence/issues/76))
• Deduplicate proxy and real MPRIS bus names by player identity so the same player is only tracked once ([#77](https://github.com/lazykern/mprisence/issues/77))

• README
• Add `mprisence-bin` AUR install option

📋 Changes

• Config
