🎉 What's New in v1.6.0

🚫 Track Blacklist System

Block unwanted tracks and artists from your queue! Perfect for avoiding those overplayed holiday songs.

• trackblacklist command - Add/remove blacklisted tracks (admin-only)
• Smart filtering - Works with individual tracks, albums, playlists, and AI-generated lists
• Transparent warnings - Shows which tracks were skipped and why
• Persistent storage - Blacklist saved in config/track-blacklist.json

Example: Block all versions of "Last Christmas" and the bot will automatically skip them when adding Christmas playlists!

📊 PostHog Telemetry

Anonymous usage tracking to help improve SlackONOS:

• Migrated from Plausible to PostHog SDK
• Tracks startup, heartbeat (24h), and shutdown events
• Includes OS platform, Node version, market info
• Opt-out anytime via telemetryEnabled: false in config
• Full privacy documentation in TELEMETRY.md

🎛️ Soundcraft Ui24R Integration

Control your mixer directly from Slack/Discord:

• Multi-bus support (master, aux, fx, custom channels)
• WebSocket-based real-time connection

• Auto-reconnection on disconnect
• Complete setup guide in SOUNDCRAFT.md

⚡ Performance Improvements

• Channel ID support - Avoid rate limits in large Slack workspaces (100+ channels)

• Smart detection - Automatically detects if config uses IDs vs names
