Full Changelog: v0.0.299-alpha...v0.1.0-beta

v0.0.299-alpha

Major Features

• Improve audio waveform resolution from 8-bit samples to use binary32 (IEEE 754 single-precision) floating-point -- this is very noticeable in the reaction of MilkDrop to high frequencies
• Enable song tile and custom message sprites and textures (T for title, Y for messages, K for textures)
• Add album art extraction into visualization's textures or sprites; note this requires an entry in <foobar2000 profile folder>\milkdrop2\milk2_img.ini for img100
• Add back all preset menus, including editing of "waitstring"s and preset parameters
• Update all tooltip and help strings
• Implement thread pool timer instead of the window message timer for rendering -- for higher frame rates and consistent frame-to-frame times (from past release) -> source of many annoying bugs

Features

• Allow smaller window size than Mode 13h (320x200); lower limit is now 150x150
• Port dark translucent box into DirectX 11
• Add caption icons to visualization window and fonts dialog
• Update DirectXTK from 2024.6.5.1 to 2024.9.5.1 [developer]

Preferences

• Add album art selection edit box for using foobar2000 script
• Add font selection dialog with proper style, centering and sizing
• Update preferences page with buttons to open milk2_img.ini and milk2_msg.ini as well as the font dialog
• Add tooltips for all options
• Remove gamma correction for 16-bit color options since for Direct3D 11 the visualization runs on 32-bit color exclusively (DXGI_FORMAT_B8G8R8A8_UNORM)
• Improve hard cut loudness slider range resolution
• Shrink image cache group box
• Enable title group box options
• Disable pixel shader model version selection, uses "Auto" implying Shader Model 4.0
• Disable canvas size selection, uses "Exact"

Context Menu

• Add options to launch preferences page, launch song title and show album art

Bug Fixes

• Fix song title animation launcher
• Fix several hangs and use-after-free issues due to thread pool threads racing with message loop/interactivity thread
• Fix initialization crash due to missing \ in base path
• Fix pixel shader model version resolution for Direct3D 11's feature levels [developer]
• Fix menu text second line bug due to negative rects [developer]
• Fix ARM builds missing HLSL options

Breaking Changes
