0.4.0

DECKARD 0.4.0: everything since 0.3.0.

Windows

• A new installer, DECKARD-<version>-windows-x64-setup.exe, sits beside the zip. It installs for the current user with no administrator approval, and adds a Start menu entry, an uninstaller and an optional desktop shortcut. .mxprj projects can open with DECKARD through Open with.
• The Maschine MK3's screens now work on Windows. NI's driver keeps them from DECKARD, so DECKARD asks to switch just the screens to Windows' WinUSB driver, with administrator approval. Maschine can't use the screens until you give them back in Preferences ▸ Hardware.

Library and samples

• Expansion samples are found in your installed libraries, including Public Documents, even when the project was saved on another machine. Play reports how many sampler zones couldn't be found.
• The library has a Refresh button, so you can scan a newly installed expansion without restarting.
• The Files tab takes a typed or pasted folder path.
• Drop a sample on a group row to load it onto that group's focused pad, or its first pad if another group is focused.
• Pads light when their sound holds sampler zones, including sounds with no plug-in slot or name.

LFOs and interface

• The LFO picture follows the rate. Faster rates show more waves. Rates slower than 1/4 or 1 Hz keep two whole waves, with time lines behind them showing how long the waves take.
• A trigger no longer reshapes the LFO picture's first cycle.
• The sound module's title stays put when you change pages.

Project

• DECKARD is now licensed under the GNU General Public License version 2.
• A Code of Conduct has been added.
• mise install now sets up a Windows development machine.
• CI runs every crate's tests, even after one fails.

Thanks to diamond-one for the library, sample, pad, title and LFO work.
