NOTE: This is a re-release of 1.1.0, with a Windows UI related bugfix.
Greetings all, a lot of focus on this release has been dedicated to giving everything some polish and finalising features, there are a couple of 'Big Ticket' items in this release, so lets get started :)
Language Support
The Utility has been translated into several languages with MASSIVE thanks to the community members who have helped out with this project. On startup the Utility will check your system locale, and attempt to use that inside the UI if it's available. The language can also be manually changed in System -> Utility Settings if you'd prefer to keep it English, or use a different language. Below is the list of available languages, as well as the legends who have done the translation work (this comes with a MASSIVE thanks from me!).
Italian (Italy) - @PaoloTK
German (Germany) - @mischiminator, @jonilala769
Polish (Poland) - @pitermach
Dutch (Netherlands) - @Tyfcho
French (France) - donttrytogetintomylife(13), HokutoTokiSama
Russian (Russia) - @Kurenai-IRISKA, David, silcu
If your language isn't listed, and you'd like to help contribute, please check out the Translators channel on the Utility's discord.
Experimental MacOS Support
Before now, the only way to run the Utility on MacOS was to either compile it yourself, or use the third party GoXLR-on-MacOS project (which is currently based on 0.12.6), with 1.1.0 we now provide native MacOS binaries and a .pkg installer (Note: You may need to go to Settings -> Security in MacOS to allow the installer to run). There are currently two installers available, the x86_64 build for Intel based Macs, and the aarch64 for M1/M2/M3 based macs. Shoutout to Casper for helping test out the MacOS support!
Functionally, MacOS support now has feature parity with Windows and Linux, and includes the UI wrapper and an 'Aggregate Manager' to automatically manage the GoXLRs channels in CoreAudio while the utility is running. Automatically starting the Utility on Login can enabled in System -> Utility Settings.
Do be advised, the native Utility build will conflict with the GoXLR-on-MacOS project's build, and they cannot currently be run at the same time.
MacOS support is still somewhat experimental, and you may run into problems. Please report them to either github, or the Utility's discord.
Visualiser Polishing
With thanks to @parzival-space, the Visualiser in the UI is now fully functional. It'll now display your scribbles, highlight the section currently being modified, and can be left clicked to open a specific config page, or right clicked to load relevant the lighting page. In addition, if you happen to be running a White GoXLR, the Visualiser will reflect that.
Sampler
The sampler code and timings have been tightened to help reduce latency when replaying a sample, and more accurately trim the start of samples (shoutout to bryaudio on Discord for helping with the logic). Additionally, the sampler should no longer prevent Windows from dropping into a sleep state while the Utility is running, and no audio is currently being played to the Sampler.
