[0.72.3] - 2023-03-21

As always, back up your Save. That includes any personal modifications to the Assets folder, Noteskins folder, and the entire Save folder. These folders are usually found in the folder your game is installed.

If you made modifications to Theme files for your custom windows, you will need to save that specific Lua file as well.

Linux Note

It has come to our attention that newer versions of some distributions like Ubuntu make it difficult to install the required OpenSSL libraries to run the game. If you try to open the game and are hit with an error complaining about OPENSSL_1_1_1 not found despite following proper instructions to install it, try this:

wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl/libssl1.1_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i libssl1.1_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb

Changes/Updates

• General
  • Image loading speed improved
    • Most noticeable for D3D (Windows default) users in Rebirth with wheel banners on or in spawncamping-wallhack
      • Preliminary testing in Rebirth under these conditions saw average FPS increase 5x while moving the music wheel and holding tab
• Rebirth
  • Added Wheel Spin Speed to the Settings under Settings -> Graphics -> Theme Options 1 -> Music Wheel Speed
    • Use this to change the speed of the wheel movement. This can be useful if the wheel moves oddly slow because of your high framerate
  • Split Theme Options into 2 categories, Theme Options 1 and Theme Options 2
  • MeasureBars option was moved to a different place internally - this will cause everyone's setting for it to reset
    • It already defaulted off, so most people won't notice this
  • Hovering your mouse over the local player name has a new tooltip that just lets you know that clicking it will rename your local profile
  • Hovering the blank space between Setting names and Setting values should change the cursor position now
    • This was disabled before 0.71.0 release because I thought it sucked, but in my opinion the cursor not doing this sucks more
  • Added title gradient, title logo, and title triangles to the Color Config in the title category
    • Actual new entry names: LogoE LogoTriangle ItemTriangle GradientColor1 GradientColor2
  • Player Config now loads per profile
    • This means that each profile in Rebirth has its own configuration like 'Til Death does
    • You don't have to do anything to work around with this, because whatever settings you already have in Rebirth from 0.71.0-0.72.1 will apply as a default for every profile you load
    • This means that importing settings from 'Til Death is now even easier, and all you have to do is rename the /LocalProfiles/xxxxxxxx/Til Death_settings/ folder to /LocalProfiles/xxxxxxxx/Rebirth_settings/
• 'Til Death
  • Added a Mean Display to Gameplay
    • Off by default
    • The option to turn it on is located here: Player Options -> Theme Options -> Current Mean
    • Only tracks the current mean of the play, not the EWMA
    • Use M or , in Customize Gameplay to move or resize it
  • Tooltip for hovering CDTitle has been reduced in size to a more appropriate level

Fixes

• General
  • BPM Display should support the special BPM display types like "random numbers" again
  • Fixed crashes relating to abusing certain Rebirth color config and game customization functionality
  • Fixed crashes caused by placing a random audio file in a pack folder
  • Fixed crashes and errors caused by renaming a random folder to pretend it has a valid file extension of any kind
    • If these folders are actual songs, they may load. If they don't successfully load, you will see a message in the log
  • Fixed crashes caused by selecting a song and finishing a download before reaching gameplay but after picking the song
  • MacOS crashing occasionally due to an incompatibility with how we find the language of the user
  • Reloading Scripts or Overlays will no longer break buttons, break mouse functionality, or throw many errors per second
  • Replays where ghost taps occur before or during the song should no longer horribly desync
  • Replays which were locally recorded on a different song or global offset should no longer desync
  • ScreenTextEntry will no longer stop music playback
• Rebirth
  • Music Wheel will no longer randomly stutter over and over, causing all the graphics to change repeatedly - as long as you are still holding down the directional button
  • Network Options should no longer show up and allow users to break menu continuity
  • Song Search will no longer pretend to do nothing in the specific case where you search for an exact song name that exists, but one of the results contains a chart key that becomes filtered out because it is listed with a different song name
  • ScreenTextEntry will no longer kill the visualizer
• 'Til Death
  • Fixed Evaluation showing the wrong mean for a score that you just set if you hit any mines
  • ScreenTextEntry will no longer kill the visualizer

Development

• Added ReloadedScriptsMessageCommand triggered by Ctrl + F2, by changing Games, or by changing graphics options
• Added ReloadedMetricsMessageCommand triggered by Shift + F2, by Ctrl + Shift + F2, or by F2
• Added ReloadedOverlayScreensMessageCommand triggered by Ctrl + Shift + F2
• Added ReloadedTexturesMessageCommand triggered by F2
• Added GameChangedMessageCommand triggered by changing Games. This occurs specifically when changing games using the settings menu
• Custom Window Config file had some comments added to encourage proper maintenance of the file
• GetDirListing has a new API which lets you choose between filtering to only directories, only files, or not caring
  • The previous boolean-based API meant for filtering to only directories or not caring still works the same way
  • Both APIs are implemented in the Lua binding
  • New Lua API: FILEMAN:GetDirListing(pathString, filterType, returnFullPathsBoolean)
  • New Lua API filterType: pick one of any_type only_dir only_file
• Tooltips can be resized easily with new function TOOLTIP:SetTextSize(x)

Changes/Updates

• General
  • Cleartypes changed to not grant SDP/SDG if the score contains a combo breaker
  • Holding shift while pressing the Random Song button will bring you to the last song that was given by pressing the button
    • This only works backwards once, like a simple undo button. You can't go backwards several songs, only one
  • Noteskin Preview was optimized for loading times
    • SelectMusic entry in Rebirth should be noticeably faster
    • PlayerOptions (double enter) in all themes should be noticeably faster

Fixes

• General
  • Buttons bound to Operator will no longer be impossible to type in a text field
  • Files loaded from .osu should never crash due to 0-length holds
  • Judge 1-3 should never visually show up anywhere anymore
  • Legacy Options row for input debounce should no longer be useless and broken
    • Now featuring increments of 1ms instead of 10ms
  • Mac players sometimes could not run the game due to an SSH related error for our recent builds
  • Pack Downloads for packs containing paths with "unacceptable" names will no longer cause the pack to either completely fail or partially extract
    • Invalid paths are renamed to make them valid. The game should handle these new names with auto resolving logic per song
    • An invalid character is considered anything with a byte value over 122 (so pretty much only ASCII characters are allowed)
  • Replays no longer miss the first note if you hit them early
  • Replays should no longer play very early or very late
    • This was caused by having multiple charts with the same chartkey but with different audio and offsets
  • Replays should delete decompressed InputData after failing to read from it
• 'Til Death
  • Judgment Animations and Combo Animations no longer break the customize gameplay resizes you have set

Development

• Added a Lua binding to NoteskinManager to allow adding Noteskin Actors as children to a given ActorFrame. This is mainly to help with Noteskin Preview optimization, but could be used cleverly in real noteskins
• GHA will automatically generate documentation for us at every commit. This means that the documentation follows the latest develop branch. This includes a "wiki" like resource, doxygen output for C++, and ldoc output for Lua. In due time, we will be updating this documentation to be more complete. It will be a large task.
  • https://etternagame.github.io/etterna/
• websocketpp updated to 0.8.2
• websocketpp should no longer cause the game to be unable to compile under C++20 with very modern compilers

Changes/Updates

• New Custom Window Config System
  • You can toggle this in Rebirth or 'Til Death by either pressing InsertCoin or clicking the WifePercent in the evaluation screen
  • You can switch between different config setups by clicking the new percentage that appears, or by using the rate changing buttons the same you would if you were changing judge on the screen
  • Turning on custom windows simply rescores the currently selected score in evaluation, replacing all visible values except for the original Wife 3 percent. This includes the information that shows up when you hover your mouse on the offset plot
  • The global configuration for this is stored in /Themes/_fallback/Scripts/72 custom_windows_config.lua
    • Read the instructions within the file if you would like to create your own custom config
    • Keep in mind that when reinstalling/updating in the future, this file will be overwritten. Consider this to be a theme edit - back it up
    • We will take suggestions for making certain popular custom window configurations part of the default list of configs
  • The system is not currently set up to support replacing your gameplay judgment windows, and is instead only intended to help properly rescore a score you already set
  • The system allows for configurations where the note priority is changed from current (closest first) to oldest (oldest unjudged note in the hit window)
  • The system ships with these configurations by default as examples: Wife2 J4, DP J4, osu!mania OD10
  • If you make modifications to the configuration file, the best way to apply those changes is to restart your game
  • The system does not function in multiplayer, but works for online leaderboard scores
• Difficulty Calculator Changes (4k only)
  • Calculator version changed from 473 to 505
  • The MSD shown for a file no longer has a downscaler run on it. The output SSR keeps the downscaler
    • This is done to give you an idea of difficulty of a file, but not misrepresent the real worth of it
  • Changes were primarily focused on reducing extreme rating inflation seen globally. It's not intended for any score to ever reach the 40 SSR cap
  • Some changes targeted files abusable by jumpjacking all patterning and barely obtaining enough points for max scaling
  • Streamy patterns which break down into jumpjacks are rated less. Pad/Index patterning remains strongly rated
  • Jumpstream fully rebalanced, aligning most jump-heavy files and stream-heavy JS files
  • Handstream had a light general nerf, and a targeted nerf to files with extremely long anchors
  • Stamina had a slight nerf
  • Jackspeed had a slight nerf
  • Chordjacks had a strong nerf via multiple rewrites and retunes
    • Everyone will find that their rating is lower, and many files are underrated. More passes on this to come
  • Technical had a few fixes and a rebalance
    • Eliminated extremely fast runningman farm
    • Brought streamy-chaotic tech somewhat more in line with bursty-tech and runningman-tech
  • Lesser-dense chordjack type files are more likely to be rated tech due to the balancing and nerfing done to both skillsets
    • This classification is in line with one of the pattern sets which falls into tech, which is short/mini jack heavy patterning with otherwise light or technical patterning
• General
  • Replays and HighScores newly created will track the RNG seed for the play, allowing replays to play back and rescore plays with inserts, removes, turns, and shuffles
    • This is not compatible with online scores yet
  • Replays newly created will play back the actual ghost inputs of your original play instead of just the judgments
  • Replays will now always save as long as the score saves
  • Pack Downloads are no longer restricted by your current FPS
    • Tabbing out of the game or going into gameplay will not slow down your downloads
    • If a download completes during gameplay, it extracts after gameplay exits
  • Fake Notes globally defaulted to 25% opacity
    • Added a new noteskin metric _NoteOpacityMultiplier to facilitate this change
    • Add TapFakeNoteOpacityMultiplier=1.0 to your noteskin metrics.ini under [NoteDisplay] to undo this change
    • You can use this same metric for all other note types, such as TapNoteNoteOpacityMultiplier and HoldBodyNoteOpacityMultiplier
  • Noteskins are forced to always load the highest possible resolution textures
    • This fixes an issue where spritesheet misalignments can break noteskins but only for certain MaxTextureResolution settings
  • Global Offset and Visual Delay are present in the legacy Graphics Options screen and are changed to allow 1ms increments
  • New H-Random Shuffle mod added to options screens where Shuffle mods are visible
    • H-Ran is a variant of SuperShuffle which avoids making jacks when possible. It also "un-jacks" existing jacks, if possible
  • Clap/Metronome was readded to the legacy Player Options screen (double enter menu) for some users who cannot use F7
  • Message that shows when using an invalidating mod in gameplay updated to be more obvious that you are invalidating a score
  • Hold/Roll timing window can no longer be reduced to below J4 manually
  • Hold/Roll life editing via preferences or metrics is no longer allowed
  • The existing mechanic which prevents getting a Bad while tapping within an alive Hold or Roll due to an incoming note has been changed to stay locked to the J4 window
    • This means that the window actually grew for users of higher judges, and you may be more likely to receive a Bad
  • Readded and improved the ShowBanners and ShowBackgrounds options to apply thoroughly
  • Scores over 100% should be force invalidated
• Rebirth
  • Chart Author added to Gameplay splash intro
  • Chart Author should always show up when hovering the CDTitle area even if the CDTitle is invisible
  • Chart Leaderboards in SelectMusic and Evaluation will color Chord Cohesion On scores differently from others
    • Added a new color config entry for this under the evaluation and generalBox categories
  • Chart Preview was redone to replace the entire side of the screen and be more visible
  • Combo Animations are toggleable through the settings menu - defaulted off
  • Evaluation song banner keeps the same aspect ratio as everywhere else
  • EWMA numerical display added as a new toggleable gameplay element, like the mean display - defaulted off
  • Gameplay Goal Tracker had its 96.65% increment replaced with the 96.5% increment
  • Gameplay Leaderboard has a new option Local to show only local scores for the current rate
  • Help screen contains information about ClearTypes
  • Language changes in the settings screen will now force a theme restart
  • Show Banners option added to settings under Graphics -> Global Options to allow turning off all banners
  • Show Backgrounds option added to settings under Graphics -> Global Options to allow turning off all backgrounds
  • Standard Deviation numerical display added as a new toggleable gameplay element, like the mean display - defaulted off
  • Score uploads being done in bulk show progress via a new progress bar under the pack downloads progress bar
  • Translation support added
• 'Til Death
  • Chart Author added to Gameplay splash intro
  • Chart Author added to CDTitle mouse hover action, unless the author cannot be determined
  • Leftmost buttons in SelectMusic meshed into the UI more
  • Searching should never send you to the first alphabetical file when failing a search
    • No more saying "All rise for the Etterna Song Search national anthem"
  • Show Banners option added to Theme Options to allow turning off all banners
  • Show Backgrounds option added to Theme Options to allow turning off all backgrounds
• Localization
  • Japanese Translation
    • Updated core/fallback strings
    • Added partial 'Til Death translation
    • Added partial Rebirth translation
    • Translator's note: 違和感とか翻訳ミスがあれば連絡してください snover#2857

Fixes

• General
  • BPMDisplay should properly work for files where the different difficulties have different BPMs
  • Difficulty calculator had discrepancies when comparing float values
  • Crashes when downloading files that had symbols not allowed in filepaths
  • Crashes due to memory leak when scrolling across packs with video banners
  • Crashes caused by ActorFrameTexture in D3D
  • Crashes caused by missing a theme metric

    • Some of the packs you have loaded may suddenly have hundreds of new songs in them
  • Online HighScores didn't properly fill in the MissedHold field
  • Playlist creation for the first time caused 2 playlists to manifest incorrectly
  • Playlists having a file added which was recently reloaded from disk with a changed chartkey used to add a nonexistent file
  • Reloading a chart and causing a chartkey to no longer be associated with a Song was never recalculated
• Rebirth
  • BGBrightness and ScreenFilter no longer forced to 0% or 100%
  • Crashes caused by breaking input system continuity by clicking to close a text box

  • Lua errors in Practice Mode
  • Removed the random debug string that appears when you switch songs
  • WheelDataManager's unused functions don't break anymore
• 'Til Death

Development

• C++ standard moved to C++20

• Added NOTESKIN->GetMetric(string, string, string) to allow defaulting noteskin metric values
• Added Lua bindings for Replays and ReplaySnapshots

• D3D renderer error output improved
• Fallback names for W1 and W5 changed to Marvelous and Bad
• Lua no longer has access to modify invalidating PlayerOptions or music rate during gameplay
• Miss window being 180ms is now a hardcoded constant

Highly recommend that you check the release notes for 0.71.0 and 0.71.1 if you want the full story of changes, if you haven't updated for a while. This release is for some changes on top of that.

Changes/Updates

• Major Change
  • The late window for all judges is now normalized to 180ms.
    • Previously, late notes were forcibly turned into misses based on the very old max judge window sizes. This meant that on Judge 9, 36ms late gives a miss instead of a bad all the way to 180ms. This was not intended to be left like this. The result should be minimal, but I'm interested in seeing the effect it has on gameplay at a very high end. The following numbers are the former late window sizes (now replaced by 180ms)
    • Judge 4 - 180ms
    • Judge 5 - 151.2ms
    • Judge 6 - 118.8ms
    • Judge 7 - 90ms
    • Judge 8 - 59.4ms
    • Judge 9 - 36ms
• General
  • Added preference AllowStartToGiveUp to toggle the "Hold Start to Give Up" feature in Gameplay
  • Added hold explosions to SubtractByZero to match the rest of the DBZ family
  • Practice Mode no longer allows you to access the Evaluation Screen - holding Enter no longer does anything
• Rebirth
  • Chart preview related changes to its position and added the ability to still be able to click song banners to toggle it even when the banner is invisible
  • Customize Gameplay has access to Judgment Counter Spacing and Size
  • Error Bar count setting cap raised to 200
  • Help menu refers to graces as flams a little more visibly
  • Tournament Sortmode added to allow sorting songs within groups by their [x-x] prefix

Fixes

• Rebirth
  • Artist sortmode sorted alphabetically instead of by artist
  • Banners were not aspect ratio 3.2 on most game aspect ratios
  • Clicking really fast on the TitleMenu caused crashes
  • Discord Rich Presence was not functioning correctly and now it does
  • Gameplay Leaderboard being enabled for unranked charts caused no elements to load at all
  • nowplaying.txt was not correctly clearing and now it does
  • Tag filtering was too harsh and too nice depending on the context
    • Tagging one chart of a multi diff file then filtering it made either all or none of the charts appear
  • Settings no longer overwrites your custom aspect ratio
  • Song Search did not allow funny capitalization on metadata field searches
• 'Til Death
  • Player Options' XMod Scroll Speed display did not scale according to rates but does now
• General
  • Default Beat noteskin was misaligned a bit
  • Input Debounce Preference was completely nonfunctional in Gameplay and is now fixed
  • MacOS <= 10.13 once could not open the game but should be able to now

Development

It's been a very long time since the previous update 0.70.3. We wanted to make sure that the coming changes were close to perfect so that you wouldn't be disappointed. That and simply a lack of personal free time to continue working is why it kept being delayed. But today is the day. I hope you enjoy Rebirth.

Changes/Updates

• New Default Theme - Rebirth

  • Rebirth is a rebuild of the Etterna UI almost entirely from scratch. Taking advantage of starting from an empty folder, all code follows a particular style and structure which should be simple to follow and allows for the theme to be functional on any reasonable aspect ratio, for example.
  • Designed with 16:9 in mind, tested lightly on all other aspect ratios
  • Contains every feature expected out of 'Til Death with some minor exceptions
    • Multiplayer is not present at this time - It will be later. There is a planned full redesign of the entire experience
    • Custom judge windows are not present - This will come later and I know you will like it
    • Floating chart leaderboard view is not present - Minor feature not requested by testers, but can add at some point
    • Calculator debug is not present - Not necessary for the general public and I have some cool ideas I want to try later
    • Other minor things forgotten? If I don't remember them now, they probably weren't important
  • Designed for keyboard players specifically. You will need a mouse for some UI elements. However, nearly everything is accessible with mouse or keyboard
  • No splash screen - We want to put you into the game as fast as possible
  • Title Screen contains your profile list, removing Select Profile entirely
    • Click the already selected profile to skip the two step process - The topmost profile is highlighted initially
    • Otherwise, use the arrows and enter to select a menu item and then a profile. Double tapping enter should select the currently selected profile immediately
  • Added a Help Screen accessible from the Title Screen and SelectMusic
    • Contains several categories of useful information
    • Accepting ideas on things that need to be put here
  • SelectMusic looks a lot different.... Before you complain about the music wheel position and the banners being on the wheel: open Settings (Ctrl + 5), Graphics (3), Theme Options and mess with positioning there. You're welcome
    • Tabs are generally in the same order, but are consolidated
    • General Tab has had the 'Til Death MSD Tab combined into it.
      • Tags on the current chart show up here
      • Hover the CDTitle with your mouse to see the chart author
      • Space will toggle chart preview
    • Scores Tab moved to position 2, works essentially the exact same as 'Til Death
      • There was once a bug that hid rate selection if you had scores on too many rates - that is fixed here

      • Allows for extremely easy modification or addition of sort modes - Check out the new ones
        • ClearType, Pack Clear Percent, Most Recent Score, Last PB Date MSD/Percent, Author
      • The wheel does not have a strict concept of song folders, meaning different sort modes each have their own pack lamp possibilities
        • The wheel refers to them as Folders internally
        • To get a Pack Lamp of C or above, you must pass all valid files on at least 1.0 with a C or above

    • Double-Enter for Player Options is still there
    • Old Key Config is still there
    • All main menu options are still there

• Difficulty Calculator Changes

  • See Calculator Bugfixes below for some actual bug related changes
  • SoloCalc has been generalized for n keys. All keymodes now have a calculator
    • Profile rating is not yet enabled outside of 4k
  • Downscaling based on accuracy is much more harsh below 90%
  • Downscaling based on time is redone - The downscaler now attempts to throw out intervals not reaching a certain density threshold before making the time calculation
    • Side effect of this is very empty charts are nerfed
    • Due to the nature of jacks, the time downscaler is a lot less harsh on short files if the highest skillset is jacks
  • Aggregation related functionality has been centralized but should not affect output
  • Optimized chisel for huge speed increase - skillsets not within 10% of the highest rating after the initial pass are not re-iterated
  • Chordjack pattern mods can detect continuous one handed anchors or chains
  • Chordjack difficulties are no longer smoothed, like all other skillsets
  • Chordjacks have been retuned basically to the point that ultra dense stamina oriented files should be much less overrated
    • Side effect of this is chordjacks in general are nerfed
  • Harshly nerfed flam based farm files
    • Side effect of this is a short list of legitimate files are nerfed at higher rates -- this is not a permanent fix
  • Added detection for handstream density, but left disabled
  • Jackspeed difficulties decoupled from runningman difficulties for simpler tuning
  • Jackspeed retuned in a particular way that nerfs most files but doesn't harm proper jack files in the grand scheme of things
    • Not perfect but looks better than before
  • Nerfed runningman burst anchor difficulties to pull back tech farm
  • Stamina globally boosted 0.5% to allow it to show up as a top skillset for files
  • did a bunch of debug info display stuff related to jacks and points and downscaling

• Logging Rewrite

  • Reimplemented using Plog
  • Each game session gets its own unique log file, timestamped
  • Log messages consolidated to one single .log
  • Reset the default logging level to INFO and redid some of the logging messages so hopefully this doesn't eat all your space instantly
    • To change: Preferences.ini LoggingLevel=
  • Log files are never deleted by the game. You must remove them yourself if space is needed
  • If opted in to crash dump uploading, the log file that is associated with a crash dump will also be uploaded

• Crash Logger Rewrite

  • Reimplemented using crashpad
  • Each crash should generate a .dmp file which ends up in a CrashData folder in your install directory
    • This dmp contains information about the call stack of each process thread and information about variables and memory associated with it. This means in a really roundabout way that, for example, if you ever crashed within a very specific set of conditions, the dmp can contain sensitive information (as far as I am aware at this time, at worst it would be your login password)
    • Read about decoding it yourself in the documentation if you want
  • Crash dumps and associated log files will be uploaded automatically IF YOU OPT IN. We don't want to force you to hand off random files
    • Preference to toggle it at any time is located in Advanced Options
    • When turned on, your crash dumps and the log for that session will be uploaded to crash.etterna.dev (we run this site)

• Other Core Additions

  • ActorProxy is back. ActorProxy makes a visual copy of whatever you set as a target. Usually used for modfiles
  • Added InputData recording. This means the game tracks how long you press the gameplay columns for each score. Nothing else
  • MultiToasty is back
    • Hidden behind a default-off preference: MultiToasty
  • Added pack progress counter to C++ based music wheels
    • Defaulted off - check options for Show Pack Progress

  • Popn (5k, 9k) support added to customize gameplay
  • Popn support added to Noteskin Preview
  • Replay Snapshots contain information about standard deviation and mean

  • Hard to find DirectX in cmake
  • Misalignments in dividebyzero based noteskins
  • Downloads in progress pointed to wrong in progress link being used
  • Bundle downloads no longer always broken mirror links

  • Replays received from online used to say a miss was a 180ms bad instead
  • RageTextureID no longer leaks a lot of textures
  • Screens assigned any delayed periodic functions never destructed them which one way or another caused the Lua runtime to do quantum type assignment (do not investigate)
  • SSC scrolls no longer broken in chart preview
  • SSC scrolls no longer broken when loaded from cache
    • This issue actually affected every SSC field
  • Changing sync of a file using F11/F12 never live updated the file unless you saved it which didn't really make any sense

  • Bunch of lua errors everywhere that nobody actually really ever got
  • Wife2 scores that convert to Wife3 used to not show Wife3 after converting
  • Rescoring in evaluation was sometimes very wrong for reasons related to RadarValues
  • Transliteration on Playlists was nonexistent
  • Rare input lock in Select Profile
  • Lag related to music playing in selectmusic

Automatic Score Uploading (the thing that uploads your older scores) is disabled at the moment. You can continue to upload manually. Scores should also continue to upload after setting new ones.

MacOS Note

This MacOS binary is not signed, so before it can be installed it must be de-quarantined by executing this command in the same directory as Etterna-0.70.2-Darwin.dmg:

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine ./Etterna-0.70.2-Darwin.dmg

Additionally, OpenSSL is required. It can be installed with Homebrew:

NOTE: If you don't have Homebrew installed already, follow the instructions from the Homebrew website.

brew install openssl

Changes/Updates

• Profile saving will take place after score upload and before entering Evaluation
  • You should notice a longer entrance into Evaluation but a shorter exit out of Evaluation

Fixes

• Calc bugs were present, and are fewer. Don't worry about it
• Highest-Only Filter should work as expected fully now
• Linux won't crash if the visualizer is on
• Profile Tab rate changing won't happen if you click a song and nothing else happens
• Song Filtering should only display difficulties that fit the filter
• Sortmode text alignment suddenly learned space flight and they were reprimanded for this transgression
• Sorts used incorrectly from fallback metrics won't crash the game (why should this crash the game?)

Known Issues

• Top Grades sort by WifePercent except in the D and F tier where it becomes unclear
• Forgot to fix Favorites grouping for no reason (oops)

Developer Updates

• Minacalc was moved a little, includes changed to be relative
• Some more tiny code cleanup
• Removed PlayMode
