3.120 beta 2 (SVN r1740) released for testing.

Although there are some new features and settings, this is mostly a bugfix release. So it fixes issues related to Animated Hitflames, Big Rock Endings, Cache, Drums, Pratice Mode and Rendering. It also fixes issues appearing when pausing then unpausing the game, Scoring issues i.e. note hits, note streaks and accuracy, and Cache issues. Lot's of other bugs, crashes and freezes were fixed.

You may consult the detailed list of changes since the latest stable release 3.100.

Download the package that suits you:

¹ PyOpenGL 2.0.1.x does not support shaders. Shaders support was introduced in 2.0.2.x. Thus, to get shaders under GNU/Linux, you'll have to use the python2.5 build.

² Always crashes when starting a song? See  issue 882  and  issue 887 . Please report how it works for you. That'll determine if i remove it or not.

Note about GNU/Linux builds: Vocals and pitchbend are disabled. I haven't yet took the time to build the required dependencies. I've postponed that to the next beta or final release instead of rushing it out the door and having it half-broken.

Please note that we are currently in FeatureFreeze thus we are slowly moving toward a new Beta release and eventually a Final version. It's useless to ask when a new Beta will be released as no one is working full-time on this hence we can not have a strict roadmap. We are doing the best we can to bring you new features AND stability.

In the meantime, if you know how to use the code from our SVN and you know what you are doing, please help us by reporting and describing bugs in our issue tracker.

Cheers,

-Pascal (evilynux) on behalf of the FoFiX Team
