OpenLips Studio 0.4.6 Beta

• Retain the Beta 16 workflow redesign and library improvements.
• Fix Intel macOS builds by keeping Numba on its final supported binary series;
  other platforms retain their existing dependency ranges.
• Require binary Numba/llvmlite packages in desktop CI instead of silently
  attempting an unsupported LLVM source build and blocking the release.

Windows setup, macOS DMGs (Apple Silicon / Intel), and the Linux installation archive. Optional AI engines download automatically when needed. Basic Pitch is available through the plugins directory.

AI drafts require manual review, especially sung lyrics. Custom DLC has been played in Number One Hits on a modified Xbox 360; Xenia DLC discovery remains under investigation. Final media encoding currently requires Windows. macOS/Linux game export needs already-compatible media.

OpenLips Studio 0.4.6 Beta 6

• Review AI and Basic Pitch drafts one lyric line at a time, with loop playback,
  separate recording/note volumes, slower playback and undoable chart edits.
• Use existing LRC anchors for review; offer German/English word alignment for
  line-timed AI input and preserve melismas by default.
• Reopen guided review from Tools > Charts without running analysis again.
• Select the compatible CPU inference engine for known-lyric word alignment
  when the installed AMD runtime lacks the required alignment API.
• Fix HTTPS certificate errors in LRC search with bundled public CA certificates.
• Limit Studio release downloads to system installers and the Linux archive.

Windows setup, macOS Apple Silicon/Intel DMGs and Linux installation archive. Large AI runtimes are optional downloads. Final media encoding currently requires Windows; macOS/Linux need compatible game media. The Community website is not yet publicly available. No original game or song media are distributed.

OpenLips Studio 0.4.6 Beta 3

• Add local/remote song libraries with fixed save folders, synchronization,
  dated project versions, unfinished-project status and duplicate-save detection.
• Browse Xbox USB contents by song/pack names, compare local and USB versions,
  remove selected packages with confirmation, and copy verified DLCs by USB or FTP.
• Integrate USDB search, account sign-in and batch downloads into Studio;
  import charts, covers and media without launching a separate Syncer window.
• Export UltraStar batches as either song packs or individual DLCs.
• Find timed lyrics directly in the creation wizard and group tools by task.
• Resize/delete note blocks, create linked melismas, select major/minor keys
  and reassign lyrics from a chosen note and source-text position.
• Replay corrected timing positions and seek on timing undo/redo; list incomplete
  notes and jump directly to the affected chart before export.
• Prepare Community uploads from library projects and preserve YouTube references.
  Fix community exports ending at the final note and Xbox FTP temporary filenames.
• Preserve album/genre/year metadata and record precise build dates in new DLCs.
• Provide a Docker LAN library and native Xbox-client source; improve retail
  console networking diagnostics. Large AI components remain optional downloads.
• Build native Windows, macOS Apple Silicon/Intel and Linux downloads automatically,
  including the integrated USDB runtime and system installers.

Installation downloads: Windows setup, macOS Apple Silicon/Intel DMGs, and Linux archive. Large AI runtimes are optional downloads. Final media encoding currently requires Windows; macOS/Linux need compatible game media. The Community website is not yet publicly available. No original game or song media are distributed.

OpenLips Studio 0.4.0 Beta

• Add an LRC-only song-creation route with editable, unpitched lyric blocks.
• Add a local word/syllable timing assistant: tap Space against reference media,
  review with timing ticks, undo/redo and re-record from a selected fragment.
• Automatically optimize lyric pages for UltraStar batch imports and song packs,
  preserving musical timing and explicitly authored manual page switches.
• Split blocks into estimated words or melisma segments, assign pitches in the
  editor and save unfinished lyric-first projects without inventing melody.
• Export enhanced LRC and MIDI on the same reference-media clock; block song
  export until every lyric block has an assigned pitch.
• Preserve sub-millisecond note timing when changing pitch or lyrics in the
  inspector instead of rewriting rounded display values.
• Keep wizard navigation inside the window with a consistent cross-platform style.
• Record lyric-page switches with Space during playback, with undo/redo and
  exact timing preserved in projects and exports.
• Snap recorded cuts to complete-word boundaries without splitting syllables,
  melismas or overlapping notes; keep source breaks until explicitly edited.
• Add a separate command to clear page switches for a new manual layout.
• Keep normal text entry available while recording and disarm on project or
  workspace changes; stop playback when closing Studio.

The tested Windows installer and portable archive are available below. Keep the full portable folder together; no separate Python installation is needed. Native macOS/Linux builds and optional runtimes are built separately by GitHub Actions and may be added after this publication. Basic Pitch and USDB remain optional .opl plugins. The Community website is coming soon.

Windows includes media conversion and DLC packaging. macOS/Linux game export still requires already-compatible media. Custom DLC has been played in Number One Hits on a modified Xbox 360; Xenia discovery remains under investigation.

Local verification: 644 tests passed, 16 skipped, 11 subtests passed. Frozen Windows wizard/timing smoke tests and synthetic full DLC encoding/package verification passed. This does not replace console playback tests.

OpenLips Studio 0.2.1 Beta

• Independent API-2 process plugins with platform-specific executable entrypoints,
  private runtimes/models and declarative UI parameters, without host Python imports.
• Basic Pitch moved entirely into plugins/basic_pitch; Studio no longer bundles
  its code, model or runtime. Four standalone platform .opl packages are released
  separately from the Studio downloads.
• Atomic background installation of larger native plugin packages, preserving
  executable permissions and validated internal symlinks; compatibility/path/size
  validation and rollback leave existing files untouched.
• Versioned request/progress/result protocol includes the current project snapshot
  for processing and future lyric-alignment plugins. Text settings are supported.
• Plugin catalog, complete developer guide, and independent lyric-mapping example.
• Legacy API-1 importers remain supported. Explicit activation and undoable draft
  acceptance remain required; process isolation is not a security sandbox.
• Native CI tests install the actual .opl into a separate directory and exercise
  real inference, previews and undo/redo through the frozen host app.

Native Windows, macOS (Apple Silicon / Intel) and Linux builds. Extract the complete Studio archive. Basic Pitch is a separate platform-specific .opl download containing its own model and runtime; install it through Tools > Plugins. No separate Python installation is needed.

Beta: DLC discovery is experimental; final OG media encoding currently requires Windows. Optional static-cover video requires external FFmpeg.
