v0.2.1

2025-02-23

What’s changed

  • Changed how the ENV variables work for the Next.js server
  • Pause when in the background (fix)
  • Re-add AbortController API for aborting in progress requests and preventing duplicate audio

Playback in the background may get added in the future. Before this update it would only continue in the background for the current page before causing major navigation issues. This was not supposed to be a feature, but it may be in the future.
