What is new in Nimbus 1.3.0

## Features

- **Your own playlists** — create, edit and delete playlists without leaving Nimbus. Every track menu gains "Add to Playlist" (to a new playlist or one of yours) and, on your own pages, "Remove from This Playlist"; ⌘N, the Playlists toolbar "+" and track menus open a New Playlist sheet, and Edit… changes the title, description, privacy and track order by drag. SoundCloud's own reads lag behind a change for a while, so Nimbus shows what you wrote straight away instead of the stale copy
- **Play on Chromecast and AirPlay** — a Play On popover in the player pill and the full screen player lists your Chromecasts and AirPlay devices. Casting goes through SoundCloud's own receiver, so the device streams the track itself, your plays still reach your history, and Nimbus keeps the queue: volume and playback speed control the device, which is named in the volume control while it plays
- **Activity** — a bell at the right of the toolbar opens who followed you and who liked, reposted or commented on your uploads, with Follow Back on a new follower. A dot marks anything new since you last looked, and Settings can show a banner for new activity (off by default)
