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
