Changes in v3.11.0 Release Candidate 1 (2024.12.04):
Changes in v3.11.0 (2024.12.14):

Additions

* Added a 'Loop end tick' option in the song properties.
* Setting it to a tick greater than the song length will add a silent note at that
tick to move the loop point further.

* The MIDI import instrument mappings have been tweaked to be more accurate
to General MIDI (GM) instruments.

Bugfixes and improvements:

* Fixed layer buttons triggering inconsistently when dragging from bottom to top.
* Fixed window animations not working after opening the 'Import sounds' window.
* Fixed uninstall function of exported data packs not loading correctly.
* Updated the NBS icon to a flat version. The previous icon can still be used with
the 'Old icon' setting.
* Changed all instances of 'Minecraft Note Block Studio' and 'Open Note Block
Studio' to Note Block Studio, as part of an ongoing rebrand.
* Replaced the icon for the 'Browse songs' button in the greeting window with
the Note Block World website icon.
* Improved wording across various places.



Changes in v3.11.0 Beta 5 (2024.12.02):

Additions:

* The behavior for clicking layer buttons has been changed:
* Multiple buttons can now be pressed consecutively by holding the left mouse
button and dragging the mouse over them.
* This should make it much easier to add, remove, select, lock and solo multiple
layers!

* Holding Ctrl is no longer necessary to select multiple layers.

* Selected layers can now be deselected by pressing the 'Select all blocks in this
layer' button a second time.

* Removed the 'Loop to bar end' option.
* This option was misleading in that it 'masked' the true loop point of the song,
which is after the last tick, causing playback behavior to vary across different
NBS installations.
* To make sure your songs loop at the right point, add a note block with velocity
0 at the last tick before the looping point.
* This setting may be re-added in the future as a property stored in each song file.

* Added an entry in the File menu for restoring unsaved files.

* If present, song author and original author are now displayed in the main view
for the Player Mode.

Bugfixes and improvements:

* Fixed songs not loading when opened via Explorer or by dragging and dropping.
* Fixed backup file for packed songs being saved with the .zip extension, despite
them being .nbs files.
* Lag compensation is now cancelled if too much time has elapsed (for example,
when moving the window around). Playback will resume from the previous
point instead of skipping a large section.
* Lag compensation is now applied to more timers, which should be more
accurate:
* Auto-save and backup saving timers;
* Flash animation when editing piano keyboard shortcuts;
* Time tracker for minutes spent in a song;
* Scrollbar appear animation for fullscreen mode.
* Ticks behind the playback marker will no longer play when dragging it around.
* Silent notes have been added at the end of the demo songs to make sure they
loop at the proper point.
* Songs opened via the nbs:// URL protocol have the file extension removed from
their display name.
* Fixed pointer cursor not appearing when hovering keys at the edges of the
piano in Player Mode.
* Fixed the Player Mode playback progress bar going past its intended length at
the end of a song.
* Fixed blurry appearance of the Player Mode's central area with odd window
dimensions.
* Fixed dropdown menu for MIDI devices not displaying text properly in the
English language.
* Fixed incorrect entries for the bass drum sounds in the sounds.json file for the
extra notes resource pack.
* Fixed the Stereo macro being referred to as 'delay' in the tooltip for the
'Reversed' checkbox.
* Fixed a crash when playing an instrument that was assigned to a MIDI device.
* Fixed swapped arrows for the instrument selection box when using
high-resolution textures.
* Fixed original author not displaying in the accent color in the song stats window
when using the Fluent theme.
* Added a debug launch option to get additional logs for bug reporting.
* Updated the asset index version names for Minecraft: Java Edition 1.21.2 and
1.21.4 (18 and 19).
* Removed the 'experimental' label from the max. frame rate setting.

Hidden changes:
* Added a button on the greeting window to open Note Block World, our brand
new website for browsing and sharing note block songs!

* Tempo can no longer be set to under 0.25 ticks per second with tempo changers.
* Added tempo change indicators to the timeline.
* Added a sound import assistant to help you use sounds from Minecraft: Java
Edition in your songs!
* Accessible from Settings > Import sounds from Minecraft.
* Make sure to launch the version you want from the Launcher before
importing its sounds. Set your Minecraft installation path and game version,
click the button to get sounds and watch them get imported automagically!
* The sounds from the selected version will be copied to the 'minecraft'
folder in your Sounds folder.

* It is now possible to save a song with its custom sound files attached.
* Reach over to File > Save song with instruments... to find this option.
* This makes sharing songs with custom instruments easier than ever!
* The saved file is a regular ZIP file containing the song, as well as the
sound files used in it.
* This feature replaces the 'Export sounds' option, previously accessible
from the Instruments window.

* The behavior for clicking layer buttons has been changed:
* You can now click and drag over consecutive buttons to trigger them
without needing to click each one.
* This should make it much easier to add, remove, select, lock and solo
multiple layers!
* Selected layers can now be deselected by pressing the 'Select all blocks
in this layer' button a second time.
* Holding Ctrl is no longer necessary to select multiple layers.

* The fade in and fade out macros now work relatively to each note's velocity,
multiplying it by the decay factor.
* Previously, only the first note block in each selected column would be
taken into account for determining all velocity values in that column.
* Notes at each end of the selection will no longer go down to velocity 0,
or into negative values.

Changes in v3.11.0 Beta 4 (2024.11.28):
* Added Minecraft version setting to data pack export.
* You can choose between 1.13-1.20 and 1.21+.
* This was necessary due to a change in the internal structure of data
packs, in order to not break compatibility with older versions.

* Fixed note panning taking the value of velocity when loading a song.
* The 'Check for development releases' is now enabled by default when installing
a development release.
* Added a new auto-recovery system which takes multiple open instances into
account:
* Songs with unsaved changes are saved to a backup directory every minute.
* When NBS quits abnormally (due to a crash, power loss or system restart),
you'll be prompted to recover the files the next time you open the program.
* Clicking 'Yes' will copy the files to a restore directory so you can move
them somewhere else.
* Clicking 'No' will leave the unsaved files in the backup directory so you
can recover them later.
* You can also open the backup directory by going to File > 'Restore
unsaved files'.
* This mechanic is experimental, so make sure to leave your feedback so we
can improve it further!

* Note Block Studio now registers itself as a handler for the `nbs://` URL
protocol on startup.
* This can be used to download and open NBS files directly from an external
application, such as a blog or website.
* By default, the program will launch in the player mode when handling the
protocol.
* To prevent security risks, the file won't be opened if it can't be
detected as a valid song, or if it's over a certain size.

* Added a 'Loop end tick' option in the song properties.
* Setting it to a tick greater than the song length will add a silent note
at that tick to move the loop end point further.

* Removed the 'Loop to bar end' option from Preferences.
* This option was misleading in that it 'masked' the true loop point of the
song, which is after the last tick * causing playback behavior to vary across
different NBS installations.
* To make sure your songs loop at the right point, change the 'Loop end
tick' in the song properties, or manually add a note block with velocity 0 at
the last tick before the intended looping point.
* This setting may be re-added in the future as a property stored in each
song file.

* Blackout mode is now available in Player Mode, including the shortcut (F10)!

Changes in v3.11.0 Beta 3 (2024.11.28):
* If present, the song author and original author are now displayed in the
Player Mode's main view.

Additions:
* Added new OpenNBS social links to the greeting window, the Help menu and the
About window.

* Added a new auto-recovery system which takes multiple open instances into
account:
* Songs with unsaved changes are saved to a backup directory every 10 minutes.
* When NBS quits abnormally (due to a crash, power loss or system restart),
you'll be prompted to recover the files the next time you open the program.
* Clicking 'Yes' will copy the files to a restore directory so you can move them
somewhere else.
* Clicking 'No' will leave the unsaved files in the backup directory so you can
recover them later.
* Added donation links! If NBS is useful to you and you'd like to support its
development, feel free to check out this option in the greeting window or the
Help menu.

* The fade in and fade out macros now work relatively to each note's velocity,
multiplying it by the decay factor.
* Previously, only the first note block in each selected column would be taken
into account for determining all velocity values in that column.
* Notes at each end of the selection will no longer go down to velocity 0, or
into negative values.
* Added a small banner to the greeting window which lets you buy us a coffee
via our Open Collective. Thank you!

* Blackout mode is now available in Player Mode, including the shortcut (F10)!

* Added a button to the greeting window to open Note Block World, our brand
new website for browsing and sharing note block songs!

Bugfixes and improvements:

loading a song, moving, selecting, placing and deleting notes, changing note
properties, applying macros, and undoing or redoing actions.

installing a development release.

using the Fluent theme's accent color.

loop at the proper point.

frame once the timer reaches zero.

* Removed the button to watch tutorial videos from the greeting window.
* Fixed offset of vertical bars (|) in the greeting window links while using the

* Lag compensation is now cancelled if too much time has elapsed (for example,
