March 2026 focused on elevating the Genre experience in music-assistant, notably in the frontend with robust genre exclusions, improved visibility controls, and UI polish, plus a set of code quality and UX enhancements that improve maintainability and performance signals across the product. In the frontend, we delivered Genre Exclusions and Visibility Enhancements, UI Icon Improvements, and addressed rendering and typing issues in Genre components. Pagination for genre filters was added to improve data navigation, and the default library view was changed to panel_compact for a more compact, readable interface. Code refactoring to generic components and linting/cleanup improved maintainability and onboarding. Localization fixes and translation key alignment completed localization reliability. These changes collectively improve content discovery accuracy, reduce user confusion, and streamline developer workflows.
