musikbox 0.6.2

• added a DirectSound output plugin for the win32 build.

musikbox 0.6.1

• replaced mpg123 decoder with MAD. gapless playback for a much wider variety of mp3s!
• optimized indexing process by maintaining an in-memory database id cache. uses a bit more memory (temporarily, during indexing) but improves indexing speed.

musikbox 0.6.0

• added the ability to have multiple output plugins, and the ability switch between them in settings
• added a new default output plugin for win32 (WASAPI) and linux (PulseAudio)
• changed a bunch of low-level ui code to substantially reduce layout passes and redraws
• made a few small changes to the main ui, including basic listview headers if the window grows large enough

musikbox 0.5.0

user-facing:

• remember volume and repeat settings across app launches
• improved visualizer quality
• reduced download size by a couple megabytes

low-level:

• optimized Stream and Player communication. more direct, less locking. no more weird deferred cleanup
• removed fftw3 dependency in favor of kiss_fft. much smaller download now
• added a proper windowing algorithm to audio samples before they are handed to the fft process
• fixed audio de-interleaving issue which lead to funky fft results in some cases
• included a new spectrum visualizer sample called GdiVis (win32 only for now)
• overhauled some parts of the audio engine to ensure buffer size is consistent during playback. this makes visualization quality better, and should make it easier to integrate with things like JACK and PulseAudio.

musikbox 0.4.1

• fixed the transport readout to be more legible
• fixed a crash in NowPlayingLayout when the window became too small
• improved the IPlaybackService and IPlaybackRemote interfaces, and introduced a new IRetainedTrack type.

musikbox 0.4.0
