Runtime and build
- Move all projects to .NET 10 with SDK-style project files and a shared
Directory.Build.props (WIN/LINUX, x86/x64 defines)
- Load managed and unmanaged dependencies from libs/managed and
libs/unmanaged through assembly and native library resolvers
- Compile party modes with Roslyn instead of CodeDom
- Update AppVeyor to the .NET 10 SDK and dotnet test
- Download the FFmpeg and gstreamer runtimes from the dependencies
repository during the build
- Remove the VC++ 2015-2022 runtime check, no dependency needs it anymore
Graphics and windowing
- Replace the Direct3D 9 renderer with Direct3D 11 (Vortice)
- Pace Direct3D 11 frames with a frame latency waitable swap chain
- Move window, input and message boxes to SDL3
- Replace System.Drawing with SkiaSharp and WinForms with SDL3 and a
software renderer
Video and audio
- Replace Acinerella with FFmpeg 8.1.3 (FFmpeg.AutoGen)
- Add hardware accelerated video decoding (D3D11VA, DXVA2, VideoToolbox,
VAAPI, VDPAU) with software fallback
- Convert YUV video frames to RGB on the GPU in Direct3D 11 and OpenGL
- Add the video options HardwareDecoding, GpuColorConversion,
DecoderThreads and VideoDownscaleResolution
- Update OpenAL to OpenTK 4 and NAudio recording to WasapiRecorder
Fixes
- Fix the song preview start and shorten the reporter buttons
- Fix a crash when opening the highscore without a selected song
- Use the options slide highlight in the party mode screens to avoid
brightness flicker on VRR displays
- Disable GameInput in the x86 build, SDL3 crashes in GameInputCreate
on 32-bit systems with the GameInput runtime installed
- Fix a truncation warning in PitchTracker
A new party mode for 2 to 12 players that only needs 2 microphones. Players sing duels against each other, and before every duel a wheel decides the rule for this round. Every player sings equally often, and the player with the most points wins.
- 20 rules: from short songs, medleys, double packs, duets and free song choice to rules that change what counts (golden notes, line bonus, target score, fewer points win, teamwork) or how many points there are (double points, all or nothing, point steal, lead counts, underdog bonus, jokers)
- The rules on the wheel are drawn randomly for each game, or chosen manually: every rule can be set to always, random or never
- Every rule on the wheel comes up once before any rule comes up again; rules already used are dimmed
- Rules that need special songs are only used if the song selection has enough of them
- The wheel spins with a running light that slows down, and the winner is celebrated at the end
