Release notes
- 4.2Latest
- - A new player shows the artwork of the chapter that is playing and sits at the top of the episode detail, where it stays put when you switch between Details and Transcript
- - The waveform is now the scrubber: hover to see the time and chapter, drag to jump, and feel a tap on the trackpad at every chapter boundary
- - Click the chapter title to see every chapter and jump to one
- - Playback speed now goes from 0.5x to 3x in steps of 0.1x
