v1.12-final
de67983

This is a comparatively hefty update because a lot of things changed since v1.11.1. I got kinda carried away while implementing #5 and the app's better for it.

The most important changes in a nutshell:

  • The app has a new icon for Big Sur
  • The app now requires macOS 10.15 Catalina or newer
  • As per #5, you can now set a custom default soundfont in the settings
    • Such soundfonts will be highlighted yellow in the player window
  • The custom soundfont UI in the player window has been slightly streamlined
  • The app now comes with the Sparkle updater, meaning you won't have to check this page for updates anymore

Refer to the readme file as of this release for more information on the usage of this app: https://github.com/SamusAranX/MinimalMIDIPlayer/blob/0cde86b1953cdf21ef306e0da97d994fed15ea72/README.md

And here's the nitty-gritty for those who care:

  • I removed the MinimalMIDIQL Quick Look plugin. I initially wrote it to generate thumbnails, not realizing that the OS already had facilities for that. The app now lets the OS generate its own thumbnails
  • The integration with macOS's Now Playing widget has been improved and a lot of compatibility hacks have been removed with the move to 10.15 as a required minimum OS version
  • The Preferences window was overhauled and now uses the standard UI almost every other app also uses
  • As part of the addition of the Sparkle updater, a setting to disable automatic update checks has been added
    • I recommend leaving them enabled though. Unless you explicitly enable automatic updates in the update popup, you can always just skip or cancel updates
  • All localizations have been slightly improved
