Repo-wide sweep of example version strings still pinned around 0.111.2/
0.111.3 (four releases behind) across install-script comments, README
walkthroughs, the FALLBACK_VERSION defaults in on-device-install and
raspberry-pi install scripts, and the bug-report issue template's version
placeholder. Bumped to 0.123.0, the current release.
Left untouched: RFC-5737 example IPs and Go test fixtures that happened to
match the same version-number pattern, dated blog posts, and the Hugo
theme's own unrelated version pin.
The on-device and Raspberry Pi installers hardcoded the release version, which
had to be bumped on every release. Default VERSION to empty and resolve the
newest tag by following GitHub's documented stable redirect
(https://github.com/<repo>/releases/latest -> .../releases/tag/vX.Y.Z), reading
the effective URL. This avoids the GitHub API rate limit and needs no jq.
An explicit version (positional arg / VERSION= / --version) still pins a
release. If the lookup fails (offline, rate-limited, or a curl without -w
support), each script falls back to a pinned FALLBACK_VERSION so installs still
work. The Pi self_update path runs after resolution, so it fetches the resolved
tag's installer.
Docs updated to state the default installs the latest release; the pinned-version
examples remain as illustrations.

The installer docs and the on-device + Raspberry Pi installer scripts all
defaulted to and showed v0.107.0. Update every install example and the
VERSION defaults to the current release v0.111.3 across the on-device and
Pi guides and scripts.

The web player is intrinsically LAN-resident: it reaches speakers directly
and only delegates cloud-only features (e.g. TTS) to a possibly-remote
AfterTouch service via --service-url. That is exactly what a cloud-hosted
soundtouch-service cannot do, so the standalone player binary stays useful
and is not being deprecated. Rename it to state its purpose, with a
transition window so existing downloads keep working.
- cmd/soundtouch-web -> cmd/soundtouch-player; CLI name is now
soundtouch-player. When the binary is invoked under its old name it prints
a one-line rename notice (filepath.Base(os.Args[0])).
- Build/release both names from the same source: Makefile (build-player +
build-web alias, dev-player* targets), Dockerfile (soundtouch-player image
+ transitional soundtouch-web image), release.yml and ci.yml (player +
web artifacts, checksums, Docker images; release notes announce the
rename). The soundtouch-web binary, image, and install script remain a
transitional alias to be dropped in a future release (which will break
stale fetch scripts and nudge users to the release notes).
- scripts/raspberry-pi/install-player.sh is canonical; install-web.sh keeps
working but warns.
- Sweep docs, code comments, user-facing strings, and assets
(soundtouch-web-ui.png, soundtouch-web-tunein.png, soundtouch-web-roadmap.md)
to soundtouch-player; README documents the rename and why the player
remains separate from the embedded /app.
