Furnace v0.6pre10 (beta) - The Freeze (please read)

[tildearrow]

the Freeze

this pre-release marks the beginning of the Freeze. subsequent pre-releases will be marked as "Pre-release" on GitHub.
during this period, I am going to encourage you to report bugs and other issues you encounter in Furnace (but remember to update often).

only bug fixes and annoyance fixes will be worked on during the Freeze.

if the latest pre-release survives for one week without new issues, the true release of 0.6 will happen.

I will update this header to point you to the latest pre-release since GitHub won't allow me to mark it as "latest" (this is why this specific one is not marked as "Pre-release").

note for Windows users

a new PortAudio audio backend has been added.
this backend allows you to use WASAPI Exclusive Mode for lower latency in compatible devices.
it also supports WDM-KS for low latency as well, but be noted that it will prevent your device from being used by other apps (just like WASAPI Exclusive Mode).

sorry, no ASIO due to licensing conflicts... but you can build it yourself with the respective PortAudio CMake flag if you want.

the 32-bit release has been split into two - one for Windows XP, and another for Windows Vista and later.
furthermore, they have been compiled without SSE support, so you can run it on an ancient machine without problems (hopefully).

otherwise pretend these don't exist and get the one marked as win64.

note for macOS users

a new PortAudio audio backend has been added.
if you were experiencing audio issues when using a software loopback device like BlackHole or Loopback (Rogue Amoeba), try using the PortAudio backend.

thanks

• Electric Keet for documentation work
• Eknous for continuous bug reporting
• Malfunction/Altair and ifrit05 for helping with macOS audio testing
• you
