Toaster 0.4.18
The sea redone round its lighthouse, the festival cleaned up, a star button, and no more freezes the first time a camera look comes on.
- The sea, redone round its lighthouse. A big red and white lighthouse on a rocky headland, the keeper's cottage beside it, its two beams sweeping round with the beat and flaring at you; the Milky Way rising over the water; the moon's light broken on the waves and running up the wet sand. It's a night scene now, whatever the theme.
- The festival, cleaned up. The stage's light lies on the lake in a calm column, the crowd reads as people (silhouettes against the light, every hand up on the drop), and it's at night too, under the Milky Way.
- The basement show is gone from the scenery: thirteen scenes, each one we're happy with.
- A star button by the name at the top: GitHub's logo, the star count rolling up, a click opens the project. If Toaster's useful to you, a star helps people find it.
- The camera looks come on straight away. The first time the dots, voxels, cut-out, windows or big eyes come on (K, C), the picture used to freeze for up to a second and a half while their models set up on the graphics card. Now it doesn't: on a fresh install the worst pause measured went from 1,535 ms to 24 ms. The person-finder and the face model now run on the processor, at the same speed.
- The eye, cleaned up. The window reflected beside its pupil is gone (painted out of the footage itself), and every stroke drawn in glyphs is clean at any screen size: the stars rushing past in the dive no longer turn into white blocks on 150% displays.
- Scenes changed quickly each decode from the one before, not from a scene long gone (pressing A twice in a row used to flash back to an old scene).
- The warp, the spectrum, the rain and the scope get ready in the background the first time, in the field of glyphs.
- The drop effect (B) starts off. The scenes take the drop themselves; B picks an effect if you want one.
- A faster start: the first scene is on screen in under a second from launch.
