ITGmania v0.6.0

About

This is the v0.6.0 release of ITGmania. This release mostly focuses on bugfixes and adding more compatibility for input drivers. It comes with the updated version of Simply Love (v5.2.0) which is compatible with this release.

Features

Input Drivers

Since ITGmania is now only a 64-bit application, some input driver support was originally dropped in that transition. This release attempts to reinstate them and add a few more:

• Added Minimaid support on Windows. You now require the mmmagic64.dll file instead of the mmmagic.dll. You can find that here. Courtesy of @geefr for creation of the DLL and LEISHEN for helping test.
• Added PacDrive on Windows. You now require the pacdrive64.dll file instead of the pacdrive32.dll. You can acquire this DLL from the manufacturer's website here. Thanks to @JeffreyATW for testing.
• We've also introduced support for PacDrive on Linux courtesy of @jsirex and updated by @DinsFire64. For that you can add the following udev rules to:

cat /etc/udev/rules.d/75-linux-pacdrive.rules
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="d209", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1505", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="d209", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1500", MODE="0666"

New Features

• Add a preference for the max number of credits. The limit was previously hardcoded - by @CrashCringle12
• Adds new sorting capabilities for Profiles - by @CrashCringle12
• Allow PreferredSongs and PreferredCourses to be loaded from absolute paths instead of always from the Theme's Other directory - by @teejusb
• (Engine only) Added HyperShuffle implementation (basically a better Blender) - by @tertu-m

Bug Fixes/Code Health

• Prevent crashing on bootup due to simfile parsing issues. - by @teejusb
• Revert to previous behavior where reloading songs from the operator menu ignores the FastLoad option to always execute a fresh build. - by @natano
• Fix M-mod calculations for split timing - by @telperion
• Fix bug where scores were being erroneously truncated and lost - by @CrashCringle12
• Remove global using namespace std - by @Alhetus
• Help set up for better code health treating warnings as errors (reverted, but will be enforced in the future) + require C++17 for building - by @bphlipot
• Miscellaneous fixes/updates - @natano, @quietly-turning, @zachwalton, @SheepyChris

Installation

The installation process has largely not changed but you can still refer to the instructions below.

Windows

The installer for Windows is not signed, so you will have to click through a couple of security dialogs when running it.

macOS

Move ITGmania.app to /Applications. macOS automatically quarantines downloaded applications that are not signed, so you will have to run this command in the terminal afterwards.

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/ITGmania

You will also likely need to allow Input Monitoring for ITGmania. This can be done in:

System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Privacy -> Input Monitoring

If ITGmania already exists in this list, you might need to remove + re-add it.

Linux

Unpack the tarball to your desired location.
