(+) 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.

(+) Added menu tiering to main menu. Placeholder buttons.
(*) 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.
(*) Mouse sensitivity doesn't affect editor.
(*) Rewrote mouse sensitivity calculations. Should be a lot smoother (more noticeable the higher your setting).
(*) Local score database is saved on closing osu!, rather than at each song completion.
(*) Bancho<->osu! performance doubled.

If the game crashes or the user's machine BSOD's or something, will the local records thusly fail to update?

Yep. I'm swapping to this for now and we'll see how things go. It offers a sizeable performance improvement.

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 :?

(*) 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 :).

(*) Editor timeline hitcircles move a lot more smoothly.

(+) 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.

(+) 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.

(+) 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.

(+) 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

(+) 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 :).

(*) 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.

(*) 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?

(*) 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.

(*) 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.

(+) 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.

(*) More lobby work.

(+) No-video links are added by bss.
(+) Can seek to a time in the editor by clicking the time display. Accepts full formatting [00:01:55 (0,1,2,3)].
(*) Hyperlinked time seeks in chat are recognised at any position in a chat line (rather than only at the start).
(*) Fixed sort order of video events to always be in front of background events.
(*) Clicks during audio lead-in are handled correctly.
(*) Turned off sorting of storyboard events on editor save. Let's see how this behaves!
(*) Slider minimum length restrictions added back in. I think this is quite a good one to have so we don't get broken sliders.

(*) Fixed sliderbar bugginess.
(*) Fixed a few minor bugs.

http://osu.ppy.sh/?v=mariomedley.flv for a preview of the new feature.

Yes it will be disable-able soon. So don't sstart complaining.
This scoreboard will be used in multiplayer too. Two birds, one stone.

(+) 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.

Implementing multiplayer to OSU! is a very daunting task.
So take as much time as you can, implementing multiplayer, Peppy. ;)

(+) Added applause sound for default skin (this will be improved in the future).
(+) Added combofail sound for default skin.
(+) Added "unranked only" filter. Any suggestions on where to put these checkboxes? They feel like they are floating in the middle of nowhere.
(+) Added skin.ini variable "SpinnerNoBlink". Defaults to 0. When set to 1, it will stop spinners from "blinking" the top of the metre as they rise/peak.
(+) Added single-display help popup system.
(+) "failsound.wav/mp3" is now skinnable.
(+) osu! attempts to solve the scenario where a users *extracts* the contents of an osz file (usually IE users) to the songs directory (without encapsulating it in a subdirectory). It will also warn the user.
(+) Bancho user sort mode is remembered between startups.
(*) Skinnable sounds now load with a .wav OR .mp3 extension. Please use wav files for hit sounds or anything that loops.
(*) Selected song on song select is bold.
(*) fail-background is correct resolution.
(*) Fixed Alt/F10 freezing the osu! window in some cases.
(*) Song list can be dragged during keyboard selection.
(*) Importing beatmaps while in edit mode selects them as expected.
(*) Applause sound stops when exiting ranking screen.
(*) Audio samples are cached at song load rather than when the sampleset changes. Should fix freezes in some songs which use custom samples.

(*) Fixed 'Force tablet initialization' not actually having any effect.
(*) Fixed 'Unranked maps' filter not remembering its toggle state.

(+) Added lighting flood when spinner hits bonus levels (Shader effect).
(+) Added blur when HP hits dangerous levels (Shader effect).
(+) Added lighting burst with star bursts (Shader effect).
(+) Added skin.ini variable "AnimationFramerate". Defaults to playing all available frames per second. Applies to all animated sprites except slider ball.
(+) osu! will give the option to force-kill other copies of osu! if it detects there is another copy running. Useful for hanging processes.
(+) Added multichannel support for external IRC clients (yay!) (Echo)
(*) Local scores for beatmaps which have been deleted will be removed from the database.
(*) Fixed bug where osu! may crash when saving a score.
(*) Reduced softening filter by 25%.
(*) Increased leniance with audio drift checking. Seems to be a lot of false positives currently.
(*) Fixed songs being selected through the osu! button on song select.
(*) Hitting escape to return to previous menu from options makes a sound as expected.
(*) Clicking songs on song select is easier (larger radius allowance, less restrictions in general).
(*) Taiko mode is MARKED AS UNRANKED. A lot of people asked this question...
(*) Fixed pause status being set incorrectly.
(*) Scoreboard names are cut off with an ellipsis when they are too long to fit.
(*) Fixed minimising osu! window over a long period of time causing unresponsiveness on restore.
(*) Fixed minimising osu! window causing random crashes.

(*) Fixed editor saving .osb contents to .osu files.
(*) Fixed bug where video event lines are removed by the editor.
(*) Mouse wheel can have focus in editor/song selection even when F8 chat is visible.
(*) Multiplayer song selection can be changed.
(*) Chat window is hidden when a popup dialog is activated.
(*) Entering lobby doesn't screw with mousewheel focus.
(*) General lobby/multiplayer improvements.

Multiplayer is really getting there. But there are still many many cases to handle (realtime client server stuff really isn't simple even if you want it to be). And the ranking screen hasn't got MP support yet.

Still, I am confident I can have a public release up by Monday night (AU time). So look forward to it.
