Release v1.34.0 · kevinraymond/fosfora

Trail and feedback effects measure trail length in seconds now, not frames, so the same
preset looks the same on a 30 Hz laptop and a 240 Hz desktop — at a decay of 0.82 the image
surviving one second ran from 2.6e-3 at 30 fps to 2.1e-21 at 240. Nothing changes at 60 fps;
above it, feedback backgrounds that accumulate particles settle brighter than they used to,
and below 30 fps trails run a little long instead of flashing dark on a stutter.
The drop event fires on drops now — it had gone off once in 141 reference drops across
374 tracks, because it demanded 4 seconds of unbroken build-up before it would even watch
for one. On nine hand-labelled EDM tracks it now catches 7 of 23 drops at three wrong cues
for every right one; it still fires on build-ups and breaks. The audio panel's Drop sliders
trade sensitivity against false cues.
The drop jump window now lasts the 1.5 seconds it always claimed. It was sized against
the analysis rate but filled at a tenth of it, so the setting was off by nearly ten times —
and by different amounts at different sample rates (12.9 s at 44.1 kHz, 14.1 s at 48 kHz).

Two new Drop sliders in the audio panel: "Arm hold" keeps the drop armed through a cut
before the drop, for material where the build-up drops out entirely first (off by default);
"Jump window" sets how far back the loudness-jump baseline looks.
