(*) More graphical improvements in editor.
(*) 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 :).

(+) Score-specific font added to default skin (tomorrow for test build).
(+) Implemented osu! IRC with support for user stats. Spectator mode is not yet complete.
(*) 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.

(*) Fixed rendering of slider borders when they are not black or white.
(*) Fixed display bugs with new user panels.

Been putting this one off for too long. I can now make anything scrollable. Yes that is a scrollbal to the right, and yes it will probably look better nexttime you see it.

(*) www. links are also handled by the chat window.

(+) 'Submitting' status added.
(+) 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.

(*) Huge improvements on game smoothness, mouse cursor responsiveness, overall performance (internal change to frame limiting).
(*) Fixed dual monitor support (dragging between monitors caused a crash).

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.

(*) 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.

(+) Added LuigiHann's three skin updates to test updater.

(+) 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.

(+) 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

Hey, thanks for the 'FastEditor = 1'. Haven't experienced any debilitating lag unlike before. No undo is just a minor concession :D

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.

(*) Toggles to the right of the editor (GridSnap, DistSnap etc.) are remembered throughout a session.
(*) Added option to unlimit fps back in for testing.
(*) Removed saving of audio checksum to beatmap files (wasn't being used, and I don't see a need for it).

(*) Fixed rank conflict situations on bancho user listing.
(*) Fixed ranking dialog appearing in gameplay if retry is pressed rapidly after reaching the ranking dialog.
(*) Fixed smoothness of song select with framerate limit disabled.

(+) 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?

(*) Play mode optimisations. Some areas of code have improved in efficiency by up to 99.97%. Parapara should be getting faster :P.

(+) 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.

(*) Added now playing messages back in, but triggered by user command '/np'.
(*) Mouse velocity should be a lot smoother - allows for decimal measuresments. (revoked for public)
(*) Changed order of hitcircle/slider explosions - not sure why they were being ordered opposite.
(*) 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.
