FluneIt 2.0.0

First public release: FluneIt now concentrates on tuning what you hear, and the effects are built around gaming.

Added

• Three gaming presets: Schritte & Details for shooters, Ausgewogen for role-playing and open-world games, Leise Nacht for late sessions. Every preset says when to use it.
• Your own presets: save the current sound under a name, switch back to it, delete it.
• Vergleichen: bypass the effects for a moment to hear the difference. The device does not switch, so nothing clicks.
• One Stärke slider for the compressor instead of separate technical values.
• A setup dialog the first time you turn effects on. It explains the bridge and suggests the output device and an unused bridge device.
• So funktioniert's explains the signal path, the equalizer bands, what the presets cannot do, the compressor and the safety limiter.
• With a virtual audio cable installed, the microphone section explains how to send the processed microphone to Discord and similar apps.
• Nach Updates suchen really checks GitHub for a newer version, only when you click it.
• The key for voice-chat apps (Ctrl+Alt by default) can be changed in the settings.
• Portable mode: a config.json next to the program is used instead of the user folder. FLUNEIT_HOME sets the folder explicitly.

Changed

• The name is spelled FluneIt everywhere.
• New installations keep their settings in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Fluneit instead of next to the program.
• The effects page opens at once. Before, the window froze for about 5 seconds the first time while libraries loaded.
• The tray mixer opens faster (about 95 ms instead of 190–280 ms on the development machine).
• Noise suppression and the noise gate are offered for the microphone only. On game audio they swallowed exactly the quiet sounds that matter.

Removed

• The OBS streaming page. FluneIt is no longer meant as a streaming tool.
• The numpad hotkeys that launched programs and commands.
• The Design – Bald verfügbar placeholder.

Fixed

• Nach Updates suchen always answered "aktuell" without checking anything.
• Log-Datei öffnen could open a different file than the one in use.
• Clicks on the tray icon reached the window from the wrong thread, which could delay the mixer.
• An unreadable config.json was overwritten with defaults on the next save. It is now kept as config.json.defekt.
• Settings are saved atomically, so a crash while saving cannot leave half a file behind.
