(+) Added a toggle to turn internal frame sync back on on the options screen. Anyone experience newly-found lag - could you please try turning this on and report results?
(*) Fixed bug in editor where distance snapping multiple notes would cause them to flyyyyyy.
(*) Slider click input handled more gracefully, sorry about that one.
(*) Fixed bug where old maps loaded using the wrong default sampleset.
(*) Restored old metronome sounds/timing.

Bug fixes and whatnot. Still recovering from lack of sleep.

Okay, released a bug-fix kinda release tonight. Hopefully I can fix a few of the outstanding problems with the new build. Keep the feedback coming so we can get things in a stable state again asap .

Take particular heed to:
(*) Added a toggle to turn internal frame sync back on on the options screen. Anyone experience newly-found lag - could you please try turning this on and report results?

I'm interested to see if it fixes the lag for some people. Personally, it actually *adds* stuttering to the game, and other testers have found the same thing, but this is the one biggest change I made to the timing of the game (yes, I basically rewrote it) and this checkbox should flick it back to how it used to be. If you are still getting problems even after switching back, I know the cause lies elsewhere.

p.s. I am still looking for more people willing to help test osu! before releases. At the moment (as you can see) there are still many bugs that make it to the public release due to the small number of helpful testers on the team. If you think you can spare some time and help report and diagnose bugs while enjoying the latest and greatest daily builds of osu!, please contact me preferrably on IRC.

(+) Skin selection screen. Finally. Could do with some more refining, but seems to work quite well for its purpose.
(+) Added option to disable mouse buttons in gameplay.
(*) Fixed random crash when undoing a slider placement in editor.

skin selection looks something like this. the beatmap plays by itself, and doesn't do a perfect job so you can see the various hit sprites. i hope to improve this sometime in the future, but for now it is a lot better than cycling through the skins :).

I read these forums more than any site I visit. I love your program, and all the hard effort you put into it. When I get out of the tight spot I'm I plan on donating, because I you absolutely deserve it!

Responding a bit late, but I read this all the time. I usually don't post anything because I don't have much of anything to say.

But I think Osu! really is the best freeware game I've ever played. There's a lot of effort put in to it, and it's definitely worth the effort.

I don't know of any way to check for sure, but I think that Osu's my second-most used program, next to Firefox.

(+) osu! accepts .osr files, and imports then to local ranking.
(+) Added hit accuracy statistics in test mode. Should be useful for calculating incorrect offsets.
(*) When dragging files into osu! in edit mode, you will be prompted to save current work before the editor exits.
(*) Receiving files by drag-drop or association handled a lot better.
(*) All samples in-game are checked for silence. Should help a lot with offset/latency issues.
(*) Fixed grid snapping menu item not updating its ticked status.
(*) Countdown now halves in speed with songs over 180bpm (previously 240bpm+).
(*) Menu button graphics changed again.

Public version is sitting ready to upload. But I'm going to do it when I wake up - not feeling 100% confident :D.

If any of you mods out there have timing discrepancies (ala offset) please wait for this to go up before ranking stuffs.

(+) Sliders ***** **.
(+) Independent SS and SH sprites added (with skinning support).
(+) Bancho pings client and handles timeouts. osu! connections support silent reconnections, meaning ghosts are a thing of the past.
(*) Sliders look much cleaner - new border and gradient rendering.
(*) Slider endpoints don't change opacity.
(+) When copying notes (Ctrl+C or editor menu), the clipboard will contain the current time location and combo numbers of selected notes (MODS USE THIS!!).
(*) Automatic note adjustment when changing offset defaults to ON.
(*) Non-combo per-beatmap custom colours are loaded and saved correctly by the editor. Restructured how colours are cached internally to be more clear.

(*) Removed unintended gradient on hp graph.
(*) Fixed slider alpha problem. Bow down before me luigi.
(*) Fixed crash with manual timing setup window when deleting all sections then adding one.

(*) Local score database is saved on closing osu!, rather than at each song completion.
(*) Bancho<->osu! performance doubled.

Font skinning! Yay! Not sure how you set them up to be aligned for skins with different-sized fonts... I'm not sure why my EBO ones look off-center :P A minor detail, though, because otherwise I'm like a kid in a candy store :)

Edit: nevermind, I figured it out. It was my mistake :?

(*) Play mode plays until the end of storyboarded content (I hope - haven't tested this. There is no skip button yet, but escape works).

No testing build tonight.. had some RL stuff to attend to + dying from lack of sleep. I also didn't want to release another new test dll when I've only half-completed editor sprite modifications I want to. I'm sure you guys understand :).

(*) Removed all IRC support from osu!.
(*) Fixed middle mouse button affecting replay playback.

Yes we are moving forward. Bancho support for the previous osu! featureset (chat/stats/spectate) is almost complete, and once that is done a public build is ready to go. You won't be disappointed with the coming release though - there is a lot more packed in it ;).

As for multiplayer - it will come in the next release, but the base code required is building up fairly smoothly, so it shouldn't be that difficulty to get going :D.

(+) Mod icons are skinnable (see feature reqs. board for pre-rls details)
(+) Local time is displayed on user panels.
(+) Spectator reimplementation (bancho-based).
(*) Fixed panel display bugs.
(*) Default skin improvements (minor, dll tomorrow).

That's right - spectator is almost back to how it used to be, which means public release is but around the corner ;).

Spectator fact list:

Working:
Basic playback from beginning of song @ 60fps.
Basic playback from middle of song (with some random error) @ 60fps.

Not Working:
Ranking/failure info.
Score synchronisation.
Mods.
Watching users list.

Ok, I got distracted from finishing off spectator support, but these above are pretty huge changes. I don't know how it will fare for everyone, but testers have reported huge smoothness improvements so far.

(!) Fixed the problems with replays - you guys should be safe to rank in songs again using test version.

(*) Chat control buttons fade when they would oherwise be hiding text.
(*) Status updates only sent to bancho when they actually change to a different status.
(*) Fixed replay playback bugs on slow conections.
(*) Fixed occasional crash when closing the ranking screen.
(*) Fixed crashes in editor when changing bpm/offset before setting a timing section.

(+) Added displaying of city/country in F9 panel.
(*) Fixed random crash when playing back a saved replay.

(*) Fixed bug where clicking on 'solo' too quickly would take you to edit mode.
(*) Changed the way mouse trails are displayed. Should look smoother.
(*) Spectator improvements (functionality-wise... it still doesn't work :( )

(+) Added editor speedup flag (disables undo/redo). Add 'FastEditor = 1' to osu!.cfg <- this is for chan
(+) Bancho automatically submits error reports to peppy.
(+) Chat ticker can be toggled.
(*) Spectator support enhanced. Almost back to where we were!
(*) Spectator list returns.
(*) UI graphical changes (mostly editor).
(*) Shortcut keys for menu items work correctly depending on the current tier.

Well the build is more-or-less ready. One slight problem with spinners which is still unresolved, so I won't be releasing until the morning (after getting results back from testers). Spectator mode is done and better than ever :)!

Bug submission is now automated too.

Could any testers available please give this build a thorough testing so we can get it up as a public? Thankies

Thanks to all the testers for giving spectator a thorough ass-whooping. Seems to be stable :D. Public release is GOING UP TONIGHT, NO MATTER WHAT.

(+) Added highlight when your name is said.
(*) Fixed test mode not functioning correctly.
(*) Fixed local replays causing a crash.
(*) Fixed bug with spectator when a watcher starts, ends, then starts watching the same player again.
(*) More investigation into bancho crashes, hopefully some resolution? :/

Did a heap of redesign on bancho. I am hoping things will be better now. Turns out it wasn't totally my fault though - just a few default timeouts set to infinite when they shouldn't have been.

Anyways, sorry for the epic bancho outages and restart counts. I'm sure you all understand that this is something new and once it is stable it will stay that way for good :).

(+) Added notification when you name is said in chat when chat is not open.
(+) User panels slide around.
(+) Added option in song select to reset local scores for a particular beatmap.
(+) Beatmap submission status is displayed in editor song select. Updating functionality is also present.
(*) Scroll lock key is blocked (xfire shortcut key).
(*) Changed 'Clear unplayed list' option to 'Remove current beatmap from unplayed'.
(*) Fixed tab not working in chat while in edit mode.
(*) Fixed scrollbar exceeding maximum scroll when content area shrinks.
(*) Converted all default skin sound samples to wav. Removed silence-cutting from ALL mp3 samples.
(*) Skin template brought up-to-date.

With bancho finally fixed, I'm able to get into some serious osu! development (mostly small fixes/additions) before starting on the next major feature. I'll do a public update Sunday night.

New template skin is up on public and private updaters.

(*) Fixed rank conflict situations on bancho user listing.

(+) User list custom sorting.
(*) Stat change notifications slide with their respective users.
(*) Improved accuracy of nickname highlights.
(*) Fixed bug where beatmap doesnt end when a spinner/note occurs after the audio finishes. Of course, if this happens you will FAIL the map. Let's try not to do stupid things like this, ok mappers?

(+) Points required until next rank added to ranking screen.

(*) Fixed bug with parameter type storyboarding events.
(*) Fixed avatar not updating when changing active user.
(*) Fixed chat not closing correctly if it was open when logging off.

(*) Fixed dragging starting before mouse cursor is moved after clicking.
(*) Fixed slider issues (copy/paste sprite clones).
(*) Fixed sound of spinner bonus not being affected by per-beatmap sample volume.

(*) Fixed mouse handling in replay mode (clicks being picked up by replay playback).

(+) osu! offline installer is complete and available for testing. Automatically handles .NET prerequisites.
(+) Added checkboxes for online privacy options (not yet implemented).
(+) Added millisecond and x/y coordinate display in design mode. Handy for scripting.
(*) Slider recalculations are reduced in editor.
(*) Fixed bug with high spinner tick rates displaying incorrectly in design view or after changing timing settings.
(*) Fixed bug where slider ticks sometimes briefly appear (for one frame) as they are fading out.
(*) Fixed skipping possible with spacebar even when skip doesn't do anything.
(*) Fixed universal offset setting audible even when osu! is not focussed.
(*) Fixed exporting online replays to a file (didn't work before).
(*) Changed storyboarding so katsu combos trigger the failing sequence.
(*) Hopefully fixed user screen sometimes leaving users misaligned.

osu! offline installer available for testing.

Gave the installer a quick test drive. Works quite nicely~

Only thing I noticed was for multiple installs: I have an osu! shortcut on my desktop, and the installer overwrote it. So when I decided that I do not want osu! installed on my machine any more :(, it deleted my shortcut ;_________;

Fortunately this means absolutely nothing because what the fuck are you doing with two installs on your machine??? (Actually I can think of a plethora of reasons - well, at least two reasons - but for 98% of the people out there this is a non-issue that will never happen).

So, good work. I had no problems.

(+) Added support for .osb external difficulty-independant storyboards.
(+) Added option to make storyboard layers 1-3 draw in front of combo fire (StoryFireInFront:0 under [General] in .osu file).
(*) Login dialog handles connection errors better (and allows cancelling at all times).
(*) Extended chat should be less broken with transitions (please report if there are still problems with separation of sprites).
(*) Optimisation to hitcircle handling internally.
(*) Fixed some unnecessary saving in editor when both a background image and video are included in a map.
(*) Accuracy on extended chat is always 2DP.
(*) Game fades out slower when exiting.

If you're wondering about the lack of updates this weekend, its mostly because I was in bed recovering from a pretty bad case of flu. Hopefully I can make back some time this week.

(*) Clicks during audio lead-in are handled correctly.
(*) Turned off sorting of storyboard events on editor save. Let's see how this behaves!

(+) Basic multiplayer implementation.
(*) Scoreboard has cooler effects.
(*) Fixed crash with timing panel popup when deleting existing points.

Yes we had a few multiplayer matches. It is indeed fun, but still a bit buggy and rough on the edges. Nevertheless!

Just a quick request to those who spend the time to read this page: I'm going to aim to get a public release out by Sunday. I'm not sure if this will happen, but it is a good aim...

This would include the basic multiplayer mode in theory.

Anyways that is totally irrelevant, what I wanted to say was: I'd like to freshen up the main menu / editor tips, so please if you have any to add, resurrect the appropriate thread in the general forum with your suggestions.

Also if anyone wants to design a single editor help overlay to replace my crappy one currently in the editor, that would be great too. (this is what you see when you hit 'H').

(+) BSS progress bar actually shows upload progress.
(+) Added skinnable element: fail-background.png 640x480 aligned from (0,0) topleft. Displays on fail screen above the black background, below the buttons.
(+) scorebar-colour can be animated (scorebar-colour-0, scorebar-colour-1 etc.). Will play frames over 1 second for a full cycle.
(*) New HTTP implementation. This should hopefully solve problems with logging in/uploading maps for those few people out there!
(*) osume uses new http code. Should no longer crash randomly.
(*) BSS will not accept uploads with non-ascii range characters in their metadata.
(*) BSS allows aborting of file upload (when clicking cancel). Before, the file would continue to upload in the background.
(*) Fixed crash when hitting tab during a level with no scoreboard.
(*) Changes to song selection rotation physics. Hold left mouse button to drag, hold right mouse button to fly
(*) Song list scrolls when mouse is near top or bottom.

I got distracted today, but in a good way. Take a look at the changes above!
Anyways, this does mean that multiplayer will definitely not be ready for this public release. It doesn't mean there won't be a public release tomorrow, but it does mean multiplayer will be disabled for the time being. I'm guessing one more week should mean we have a very stable system in place.
