We’re pleased to announce that Hudiy version 1.10 (Bookworm) and 2.6 (Trixie) are now available. You can find the release highlights below:
WebView applications
We added support for the go_back_on_web_view_application and go_forward_on_web_view_application actions. They allow you to simulate Back/Forward buttons in Chromium, making it easier to navigate loaded pages (e.g., YouTube Music). Examples in the form of overlays using these actions are also available on our GitHub.
We also added a zoom factor configuration for applications. This allows you to set the zoom level for a loaded page (e.g., larger elements in YouTube Music for more convenient control).
Autobox (CarPlay)
We added the ability to set Day/Night mode independently of the Hudiy theme. However, please note that CarPlay may still decide not to switch (e.g., to day mode) after a certain time. The mode can now be changed via settings or using the API.
We also added the captureAudioOutput configuration parameter to let the phone decide which output to use for audio playback (e.g., Bluetooth, headphone jack). This works similarly to the speechAudio/mediaAudio parameters for Android Auto.
Android Auto
We added the gpsDataSource configuration parameter to specify the source of external GPS data. By default, Hudiy fetches data from GPSD (if configured). This parameter allows you to easily disable this behavior.
UI
We improved UI scaling for lower resolutions and smaller displays. We also added additional widget variants for NOW_PLAYING (MEDIUM_WIDE, LARGE_WIDE) and PHONE (SMALL_WIDE).
As of this release, you can also set the opacity for widgets and the bottom bar background.
API
Due to the previously mentioned independent control of Day/Night mode in Autobox, we added a new message: MESSAGE_SET_AUTOBOX_DAY_NIGHT_MODE and updated the API version to 1.2. The API remains backward compatible; however, please remember to update the API in your extensions to utilize this new functionality.
You can download and install the update using the updater program – https://github.com/wiboma/hudiy/blob/main/README.md#updating
A description of all new features and configuration options is available on our GitHub in the updated documentation – GitHub.
As always, we encourage you to follow us on Instagram, YouTube, X (formerly Twitter), and Facebook.
Enjoy!
