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

* Redesign and improve option screens
- Open the options directly from the main menu with the focus on the navigation, all option screens share a navigation with all categories, song folders and credits
- Navigation and settings use rounded backgrounds like the party mode selection, the current category and setting are highlighted with the selection color of the skin
- Categories can be clicked or switched with Tab, Escape moves the focus to the navigation and leaves the options from there, choosing a category moves the focus to its first setting
- Place the action buttons (delay test, adjust screen, server address, add folder) and the webcam preview inside the settings background
- Center the restart and microphone warnings below the settings background
- Move song folder management to its own screen with a list of all folders, add and remove buttons, a scrollbar and a restart warning
- Add the tile caption option to the game options (only selectable when the song menu is set to tiles)
- Remove the old options selection screen (ScreenOptions)
- Fix configured song folders being ignored when the first entry of the config is empty
- Show the folder dialog in front of the game window
- Fix background music source being overwritten by the karaoke effect setting
- Keep the webcam configuration when no webcam is connected
- Warn when several players are assigned to the same record channel
- Show a warning when no microphone is found
- Remove cover sizes 32 and 64 and keep unknown cover sizes until changed
- Play warning sounds again each time an option screen is shown
- Ignore key pressed events in graphics and server options
- Keep the background music volume in sync in the sound options

* 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
* Add statistics screens
- New statistics dashboard with four tiles: overview, recently sung, best list per difficulty and players
- Each tile opens a detail screen with longer lists, filters (left/right) and scrolling
- Detail lists show ranks for places 1-3, avatars, bars and alternating row backgrounds
- Players can be ranked by most songs or by best average
- Overview details: most sung songs, genres, languages and songs never sung
- Navigation help at the bottom of both screens
- New Statistics button in the main menu
- English and German texts
* Address code analysis findings in statistics screens
* Retrigger CI
