openmeters 1.12.0

What Changed?

• The entire backend was rewritten. Now when OpenMeters is closed, the stream of audio should never be interrupted or lost.
• Rendering cadence has been mostly decoupled from the flow of audio, and the batch size of incoming audio has been reduced. Everything should appear smoother and snappier, especially on high refresh rate displays.
• Many performance improvements.
• Added a frame rate picker within the global configuration page.

openmeters 1.11.0

What Changed?

• Removed both the drag handle in the bottom right and the full-frame mouse area. Most (if not all) compositors/DEs/WMs expose controls to manipulate windows without decorations, so I've decided to favor those and avoid the complications associated with those bespoke controls.
• Add a "stacked" display mode to the oscilloscope (#17)
• Improve reassigned spectrogram power accumulation. Preserves detail at low DPIs.

Changelog

openmeters 1.10.0

What Changed?

• Breaking: Pre-1.0 rgba json themes will no longer deserialize and will fall back to defaults. Please migrate to the current hex schema!
• Fixed some color inaccuracies.
• Fixed a bug in the line decimation code that would result in the application hanging permanently when resizing the spectrum.
• Redesigned the configuration page and turned it into a regular XDG top level window. At small bar heights or window sizes this is preferable to the prior drawer. If you think otherwise, please open an issue.
