0.7 Linux - Connecting Stars

What's New:

• New "Smooth" option that connects the plot together instead of creating bars
  • With this new feature most mentions of "bars" has been turned into "plots"
  • Also the "Illuminate" option does not affect "Smooth" as it doesn't make sense to.
• New background animation setting called "Stars" that includes lots of customization
• Dialogs such as "Gradient" or "Scale" has been turned into auto expanding docks for convenience
  • This includes some minor changes to all those dialog's UI
• The "Interpolation" setting has been rewritten as the old one was done completely wrong
• New profile called "Cosmic-String" which showcases some new features in the latest update
  • This replaces the "Recording" profile
• And the "Monstercat-Lite" profile is finally getting those stars it deserved
• Many various fixes, one such fix "should" prevent the visualizer from freezing indefinitely

Note:

• Old profiles will not be compatible, though this should not happen as often in future

0.6 Windows - Designing Sound

For more info about this release look below for details.

0.6 Linux - Designing Sound

What's New:

• Added what I'm calling a "Reverse FFT" which takes the output of the FFT(frequency plots of the visualizer) back into sound
  • I made it in a way to get a cleaner sound, so it's not 100% accurate on purpose
  • I also included a new balanced "Recording" profile to use with the Reverse FFT
• The old GUI was falling apart after updating PyQt5 so I improved the GUI into grids and buttons
• The bars now scale with the window's height and the "Curviness" setting scales with the window's width
• Added "Auto Level" (on by default) to level the bar's height to the data
• Dependencies are no longer version locked and will only be installed if necessary, thus saving space
• Small fixes

0.5 Windows - Profiling Speakers

What's New:

• Add support for WASAPI loobpack for Windows, VB-CABLE is now only optional

Note:

• Win32 Python support is being dropped so be sure to have Python 3.8(64bit) installed

0.3 Windows - Multiprocessing & Cleanup

Note:

• Due to windows sub par timings, see here:
  https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1133857/how-accurate-is-pythons-time-sleep
  Frame pacing accuracy is less than desirable and setting the FPS above 500 is effectively useless.

0.3 Linux - Multiprocessing & Cleanup

• Multiprocessing(3 processes total)
• Raised default FPS in celebration of better performance
