Omadrop v0.3.0

Omadrop now runs on its own music-driven visual engine.

• 10 original feedback scenes with distinct kick, snare, hat, beat, and section responses
• Synchronized fullscreen startup and controls across displays
• Remembered ASCII mode and per-output audio sync
• Sharper 2048 px covers, including full-resolution ASCII underlays
• New omadrop-demo and omadrop-demo-record showcase tools
• projectM remains available as compatibility mode

Install:

git clone --branch v0.3.0 https://github.com/btsouth/omadrop.git
cd omadrop
./install.sh

Omadrop v0.2.0

Omadrop now conducts scenes around musical structure instead of changing on a simple timer.

• Adds phrase and arrangement tracking with recurring-section visual recall
• Expands the rotation to 16 curated ASCII-ready scenes with repeat avoidance
• Strengthens clean bass accents and improves full-color album covers
• Keeps paired displays synchronized and inhibits the screensaver while visible
• Adds MPRIS timelines, deterministic preset audits, and regression coverage

Run ./install.sh again to upgrade.

Omadrop v0.1.1

Omadrop now ships with its six curated presets. Fresh installs no longer need the separate projectM preset package.

This release also adds clear preset attribution and third-party rights notices.
