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
* Replace the WCF webserver with an ASP.NET Core webserver (VocaluxeWeb)
- New project VocaluxeWeb: ASP.NET Core 2.3 (Kestrel) on .NET Framework 4.8.1, HTTP or HTTPS
with a self-signed certificate, REST API (/api/v1) with Swagger, live events (Server-Sent Events)
- Access to the game only through IVocaluxeRemote; requests run on the main thread once per frame
- Sessions with roles (guest, player, admin) and configurable permissions, PINs hashed with PBKDF2
- Queue as a playlist with requesters and singers, fair order (one song per person and round)
- Admin: settings, server status, logged-in devices, activate/deactivate and delete profiles
- Profile pictures: own photo or one of the Vocaluxe avatars
- Game: WebApp queue screen (song options, playlist group) to start the next song with the chosen
singers, return to it after singing, warning when the webserver is off, remote keyboard
- Old WCF server, WebserverInitalConfig and URL reservations removed; libraries moved to libs/managed
- Unit tests for PIN hashing, settings and permissions, queue order and device names
- AppVeyor: Visual Studio 2022 image and Node.js 24 (the build compiles the WebApp)
- Documentation in VocaluxeWeb/README.md
* New WebApp (Vue 3, TypeScript, Vite) replacing the old jQuery Mobile website
- Login with profile and PIN, create profiles
- Songs with search, filters, sorting and 30 second previews
- Queue: add songs with game mode, audio and singers, edit, reorder, start in the game
- Playlists: create, edit, add to the queue
- Now playing with live updates, remote control and keyboard
- Players: own profile with picture (photo or Vocaluxe avatar), roles for admins
- Admin settings: permissions, server status, devices, profiles
- Help page, responsive layout for phones, tablets and desktops, light and dark mode
- Texts in WebApp/src/locales/en.json, translated with Transifex
- Old website and PhoneGap config removed
