## v0.1.8 (2026-04-18)

### Bug Fixes

- Fix numpy failing to import in the Windows installer due to missing `libopenblas` DLL path — generate `_distributor_init_local.py` at build time and call `os.add_dll_directory()` at runtime ([456eb3a](https://git.dolgolyov-family.by/alexei.dolgolyov/media-player-server/commit/456eb3a))
- Fix visualizer toggle button not reflecting actual availability after audio device load ([ee51849](https://git.dolgolyov-family.by/alexei.dolgolyov/media-player-server/commit/ee51849))
- Fix visualizer WebSocket re-subscription firing before availability is confirmed from the API — moved from `connectWebSocket` to `loadAudioDevices` ([ee51849](https://git.dolgolyov-family.by/alexei.dolgolyov/media-player-server/commit/ee51849))

### Development / Internal

#### CI/Build
- Generate `numpy/_distributor_init_local.py` in Windows build script to fix DLL loading in embedded Python ([456eb3a](https://git.dolgolyov-family.by/alexei.dolgolyov/media-player-server/commit/456eb3a))

#### Other
- Broaden audio library import errors from `ImportError` to `Exception` and log at `warning` level with error details ([ee51849](https://git.dolgolyov-family.by/alexei.dolgolyov/media-player-server/commit/ee51849))
