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
Loops
- Looping is now done by the playback backends instead of restarting
the stream with Stop/Play. Loop can be toggled at runtime (SetLoop in
ISound/IPlayback/IAudioStream), so the repeat button keeps working.
- GStreamer: gapless loops via playbin's about-to-finish signal.
- PortAudio/OpenAL: the decoder is reopened at the end of the file
(Acinerella's seek does not reset FFmpeg after EOF) while the buffered
data keeps playing, so the loop has no gap. The reported position wraps
correctly.
Credits screen
- New event music player in CBackgroundMusic that replaces the current
background music and resumes it afterwards.
- The credits screen loops Sounds/CreditsMusic.mp3
("Atmosphere Calm Background" by lvymusic, Pixabay Content License).
- As the credits screen was touched anyway, its content was updated as
well.
Fixes for PortAudio/OpenAL playback found on the way
- Acinerella delivers 32 bit float samples for mp3, so every file was
rejected with "Unsupported BitDepth". Float samples are converted to
16 bit now.
- Acinerella reports a missing frame (EAGAIN) like the end of the file,
so decoding is retried a few times before treating it as the end.
- OpenAL stopped after half a second because the decoder thread was
never woken up to refill its buffer. A source that ran out of data is
restarted as well.

- 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

- 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

* Add jukebox mode
Songs can now be played without singing, e.g. as a break filler at parties.
- New Jukebox button in the main menu next to Sing and Party, locked without a profile like both of them
- Choose all songs, a category or a playlist, random or in order, and optionally only a part of each song (medley part, 30, 60 or 90 seconds)
- Video in full screen, lyrics without notes and a short song info whenever a new song starts
- Control bar with previous, pause, next, skip intro, audio mode (normal or instrumental), shuffle, repeat, lyrics on/off, queue and "Sing now"
- Queue with search: Enter puts a song next, Enter again plays it right away, songs can also be removed and reordered
- The queue adapts its size to the free space above the lyrics or the control bar
- Control bar and queue fade out after a few seconds without input and come back with the next key press or mouse move
- Works with keyboard, mouse and gamepad
- Smooth transition between songs, the next song is loaded in advance
- "Sing now" starts the current song with the player selection and returns to the jukebox afterwards
- The logo in the main menu is now centered
- New LyricsIcon and QueueRow textures in all Vocaluxe 2024 skins
* Fix SonarCloud issues
A new party mode for 3 to 16 players who sing against each other in one-on-one duels. Whoever scores more points moves on, the loser is out, until only the champion is left.
- The bracket is shown mirrored: both halves lead towards the final in the center, where the champion is crowned
- Players are drawn randomly; if the number of players doesn't fill the bracket, some players get a bye in the first round
- Songs are picked randomly from all songs, a category or a playlist, sung as normal, short or medley version, and no song is played twice
- Each player has up to 3 jokers for the whole tournament to skip a song they don't like
- On a tie, the duel is sung again
- The winner of each duel visibly moves on to the next round, and the champion is celebrated at the end
Also fixes "Select random" in the player selection of party modes, which only filled half of the slots.

- Playlist entries get a second select slide for the audio mode (normal, instrumental, vocals, karaoke)
- The slide is only shown if the song has an instrumental file, otherwise normal is used
- The audio mode is saved in the playlist file and used for each round
- Sing, score and highscore screens use the audio mode of the current round
- Song options select the audio mode by mode instead of position
- ScreenSong theme version 15

Instrumental (5) and Vocals (6) overlapped with Title|MP3 and
Artist|MP3 in the [Flags] enum. A song file with #INSTRUMENTAL or
#VOCALS therefore passed the mandatory-tag checks even when #TITLE,
#ARTIST or #MP3 were missing, leaving Audio empty.
Give each flag its own bit (Instrumental = 64, Vocals = 128).

* Fix index check in CSelectSlide.RenameValue
The check used && instead of ||. An index cannot be negative and out
of range at the same time, so the check never returned early and an
invalid index caused an ArgumentOutOfRangeException.
* Allow textures to be disposed more than once
CTextureBase.Dispose threw ObjectDisposedException on a second call.
Dispose must be safe to call multiple times, otherwise freeing a
texture twice crashes the game.
Return early instead. CD3DTexture and COGLTexture also check
IsDisposed first, so a second call does not free the GPU texture
again. This matters for OpenGL, where the texture name may already
belong to another texture.

* Control score sounds from UpdateGame instead of the thread pool
_PlayProgressBarSound started a Task that waited for the progress bar
duration and then closed whatever stream was stored in
_ProgressBarSoundStream. When switching rounds on the score screen
before that time had passed, an old task closed the progress bar
sound of the new round too early and played the applause of the
previous round, while the applause of the new round never played.
Remember when the progress bar sound was started and check it in
UpdateGame on the main thread instead. Starting a new progress bar
sound and leaving the screen now also stop a running applause.
* Sync progress bar sound with the score bar animation
The sound duration was computed from the points (10,000 points =
5 seconds), while the bar animation duration depends on the bar size
in the theme and only starts when the bar is first drawn. Both only
matched approximately and drifted apart with other themes.
Add CProgressBar.AnimatesMovement and CProgressBar.IsAnimating. The
score screen now stops the progress bar sound and starts the applause
as soon as no visible score bar is animating anymore. If the theme
has no movement animation, the previous duration is used.
* Make stream id allocation in CPlaybackBase thread-safe
Load assigned stream ids with _NextId++ outside of the lock. Load is
also called from other threads, so two streams could get the same id
and a later Close or Play could hit the wrong stream.
Use Interlocked.Increment instead. Ids still start at 0.
* Do not play the progress bar sound for 0 points
With 0 points the score bars do not move, so the progress bar sound
started and stopped again right away, which could be heard as a short
click. Do not start it at all if the highest score is 0.
* Better handle multiple tags respecting US format
Based on unversioned, V1 & V2 of US formats : https://github.com/UltraStar-Deluxe/format
Should address #623
Creator now takes multiple values
Maintain backward compatibility
* Update file path properties to match US formats
Seems to not be usefull since song is cloned is others game mode
Improve performance by stop reloading TXT file
Didn't see any difference with and without instead of just song load perfs imrpovement
Maybe that I miss a point ?
* Apply R# clean-up for reliability
- Migrate to NUnit4 Assert.That
- Update dependencise versions
- Fix LangVersion to 9.0 (until net core migration)
- Reformat code
- Apply 'var' style (easier for refactoring)
- Remove redundant parentheses
- Add braces on every condition blocks (1 line)
- Uses new null checking patterns
- Uses AutoProperties when possible
- Uses string scalar type instead of class
- Clean usings
- Add .orig files in git ignore

- ID -> Id
- BPM -> Bpm
- Finish -> End
* Update R# settings according to the clean-up made
* Adding a regex based solution for enumerating files looking for multiple extensions at same time. This should give better performance than enumerating over the same files multiple times looking for different patterns
* Adding a timeout value for regex per security recommendation
* Store the regex directly so we don't have to keep constructing it, also adding some logging and handling for exceptions when enumerating files
