v4.0.0

The UI of the v4 is completely rewritten with the latest WinUI3 from ground up. Also, lots of new features have been added.

It should be available for download at Microsoft Store within a few days.

Also, a self-contained, single file executable (for win-x64) is included in this release note (attached below).
Download "MPDCtrl-v4-win-x64-SingleFile.zip" below, unzip the file, execute MPDCtrl.exe.

It does not require installation or runtime to run it. When you are done with it, you can just delete the exe file. (You may also want clear album cover cache in settings page)

In addition to the self-contained, single file executable, NativeAOT compiled executable is also included in this release note (attached below). It launches much much faster.
Download "MPDCtrl-v4-win-x64-NativeAOT.zip" below, unzip the file, look for MPDCtrl.exe and execute it.

You may get a warning dialog from Windows's defender when launching the exe because the exe is not digitally signed. I generally do not recommend installing/running any random app from the internet. However, if you know what you are doing, you can just click "More info" and proceed to run it. If you download the app from the App Store this won't happen/be needed.

For other platforms like Linux, please check out MPDCtrlX which is a Avalonia UI based cross-platform desktop GUI client app ported from MPDCtrl.
