Takes 2.9.0

New

• Major performance improvements throughout the app
• Files open quicker
  • Waveforms render much faster and the UI remains responsive while loading
• CPU usage is drastically reduced
  • Playback with 1 track has been reduced from 40% → 2.5% (comparable to QuickTime player)
  • Playback with 20 tracks has been reduced from 103% → 8% (less than QuickTime Player at 32%)
  • Idle CPU consumption is now 0%
  • (All measurements taken with an M1 MacBook Pro)
• UI responsiveness is vastly improved
  • Zooming, scrolling, and playhead-following is fluid, even with dozens of files open
  • Dragging to rearrange tracks animates smoothly
  • Playhead glides continuously instead of ticking along

Improved

• Loops are now gapless, wrapping seamlessly to the beginning of the next loop
• Quickly adjust a track's offset without selecting the input field using new keyboard shortcuts
• Improved waveform interactivity
  • The playhead can be dragged in the waveform area (previously dragging was limited to the grabber in the ruler area)
  • Clicking on a waveform switches playback to that track (previously you had to click in the info column)
• Quick Open from Finder now supports folder selections
• Added haptic feedback to the zoom slider
• Inertial scroll during playback behaves naturally: it settles to a stop before jumping to the playhead, rather than fighting with playhead-follow and causing jerkiness
• Refined the app's visual design, icons, and hit targets throughout

Fixed

• Mouse cursor reliably changes state when hovering over overlapping UI elements to show which interaction has priority
• Tooltips are only shown when text has been truncated
• Shrunk the hit target of the "Click Here to Compare" button to prevent accidental clicks when there are no tracks loaded
• Blind Listening Mode is disabled when no tracks are loaded
