Release 1.2.5

  • framework update: Now passes 10 runs strictness level 10 in pluginval - results

Release 1.2.4

  • regression (win only): the "third party software injecting themselves into the Vulkan graphics backend" - fix on Windows from 1.2.3 is now stabilized and a potential crash here is now fixed

Release 1.2.3

  • bug fix (win only): Third-party software using Vulkan layers (OBS, Steam, FPS Monitor, RivaTuner, etc.) was injecting itself into the plugin's graphics backend. With multiple plugin windows open, these injections could cause a UI crash, as these tools often are not designed to handle multiple Vulkan backends in the same process. They are now blocked from injecting, resulting in smoother overall UI performance and preventing a possible crash

Release 1.2.2

  • improvement: sidechain channel configuration improved
  • improvement (Win only): OScope now runs Vulkan/Skia on Windows (in rare cases falls gracefully back to GL3 if Vulkan is not compatible)
  • improvement: plugin window size reload improved
  • regression: saved UI settings now correctly load again

Release 1.2.1

  • regression: loading plugin from saved state not blocking audio throughput anymore
  • regression: grid labels show minutes:seconds.milliseconds again
  • regression: beat fraction text entry background color correct again

Release 1.2.0

  • improvement: non‑Latin character sets now fully supported (Привет 世界 नमस्ते 朋友们) ✨
  • improvement: UI colors updated
  • improvement: underlying framework updated to state of KickDrum 2.5
  • bug fix: crash in Studio One on Windows fixed when plugin window was closed
  • bug fix: zooming very close to front now updates the oscillogram correctly
  • bug fix: correct fonts loading, also when not installed on the system

Release 1.1.1

  • Fix: Vertical zoom was not working when the GUI was opened the second time
  • Now compatible with macOS 10.15 and later (previously macOS 11.0 and later)
