New release brings huge bug fixes, performance improvements and a few new features. Those of you that wanted an in-between for fps limiting can now choose the 120fps limit option for the best of both worlds. Performance of extended chat is now improved, and avatar load issues should all be resolved. AIMod has become more powerful, as well.

2009-10-12 (b1023)
Editor:
(+) Added storyboard scripting support for vector movements (MX and MY transformation types).
(+) Added many new AIMod style and error rules (Ctrl+Shift+A to activate in editor).
(+) Added kiai overlay to editor seekbar.

Gameplay:
(*) Rewrite of stacking code to follow strict standards (new maps only).
(*) Fixed wiimote not working in taiko mode.

Interface:
(+) Widescreen support for extended chat.
(*) Extended chat (F9) performance improvements.

Misc:
(+) Added support for 120fps limit.
(+) Improved error reporting and submission process.
(*) Avatar loading code is more efficient and reliable.
(*) Almost 100 bug fixes and minor improvements.

Thank you! ^^ that is very impressive

Lovin' this. Lots of nice stuff here. It's the little things that often matter. Also...

(*) [peppy] Avatar cache moved to a more subtle location, automatically purged. Removed manual purge option.

Just wonderin', is that why there was a Maintenance bar (that lasted a while) when I started up osu! after patching, or was it something else?
PedroGabriel
After this update, the Osu screen bug!

Yep - for the time being avatar cache is per-session. I will rethink this moving forward, but in order to fix the performance issues people were having with extended chat I've fallen back to a simplistic approach for the time being.

Another images of the bug





The screen image is fading and returning

I was worried something was wrong with caching until I read this, as updating caused the cache to be emptied.

Aaaahhh!!! The huge list of bug fixes!!

Did the update and gave the same...

then again I read the changelog and saw that you increased the frame rate to 120, my video card can only hold up to 80 then moved to 60 and I will get well!
thanks for the help anyway!

I have temporarily disabled updating to this new version as local scores are deleted on running it. For those who lost their local scores (sorry) you can retrieve everything but date data by going into the osu!\Data\r\ folder and dragging replays back into the osu! window. If you don't wish to do this, I may release an automated tool to restore data if there is enough demand for it (reply in this thread if you are affected and MUST have your local scores back).

This should be resolved tonight for those which have not yet updated.

I'll just do what you said. Thanks for the heads-up peppy.
The DATES aren't so important as the SCORES themselves.

Edit: Eww, I have to do one by one? That's 759 drags then! :P

Whoa! Lots of updates! :D

(*) Extended chat (F9) performance improvements.
Thanks man, I had serious lags everytime I opened f9 chat for a while now, but it's running perfect again :>

I rather use a tool to gain all of my local scores back. But it isn't to much of a necessity for me although I have 2000+ files that need to be done which is the only issue of why I want the tool.

Sorry but this way you have back only local scores, is there a way to bring back also local replays?

If you actually tried the method I mentioned, you will notice that thsi does restore replays.

This map has been deleted on the request of its creator. It is no longer available.

Ach so... since I don't know the specified time of 'tonight' by the mean time its already 22:28 (GMT+7), well I'm forget the locations of the server itself. At the first I assumed it was in AU... ^^ thanks!

I would like to have a way for my scores to be automatically put back in, seeing as though I have plenty of replays and I use them to help me see where to improve.
