made cool stuff...

• Added Chinese translation. Please correct if you find any mistakes (You can find link to translation page in Discord server). Traditional Chinese coming soon...
• Supported loading zip file containing MIDI file. I still recommend unzipping though, because it seems not all zip files are supported by the library.

• Added Basic Info Only overlay. The note sign before tempo is ♩(U+2669) by the way.
• Info Overlays can be moved now.

• You can now choose video file name!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
• Double-clicking preview in Video Render shows resizable big preview window.
• Added [View] -> [Quick Resize] for easily resizing window to common resolutions.
• Added font dialog ([Options] -> [Font]) to change UMP font without directly editing config.
• Added language dialog ([Options] -> [Language]) to change UMP language without directly editing config.
• Added keyboard control to welcome window. Arrow keys and Tab key to select language and synth, then Enter key to press [Next] button.
• Welcome window will now display a loading animation while, well, loading, instead of showing main window that doesn't render for several seconds.

  • About UMP (F1)

cleaned some stuff...

• Adjusted black key position in default renderers.
• Made Video Render dialog don't show time remaining while progress is 0%.
• Fixed a visual issue with video render progress bar when using single-threaded MIDI loader.
• Fixed a visual issue, where video render speed could very rarely go negative.
• Cleaned resource pack dialog a lot:
  • It now shows broken pack, instead of stopping loading.
  • Added separator (aka divider) lines to pack list.
  • Render interval of pack preview renderer is now fixed.
  • Added dense notes to preview.
  • Cleaned confirmation dialog that shows before selecting incompatible resource pack.
• Made font list in [Font] dialog scrolls when [Preview] button is clicked.
• Changed catchphrase in [About UMP] dialog.
• Cleaned error dialog and error report. Error report is now hidden by default, so it won't scare you anymore.
• Improved translations and changed capitalization to title-style. But my English still sucks.
• Fixed a visual issue where hovering on menu bar right after resizing window made menu bar to disappear.
• Fixed a visual issue where you could select multiple languages and synthesizers in the welcome window.
• And couple of tweaks and small fixes.

fixed... uh... things...

• Multi-threaded MIDI loader now loads tracks always in correct order!
• Somehow everyone is breaking UMP with infinity tempo so blocked it.
• Fixed a bug where you couldn't play when synth isn't set and config midi.usePlayThread is false.
• Fixed a bug where play speed was limited by lowest of 10% although speed dialog slider could go down to 1%. It's suprising that this bug existed since 1.2.
• Fixed a bug where some ghost notes from previous MIDI was displayed.
• NPS in info overlay is now as accurate as Black MIDI Diagnosis.
• Fixed a bug where speed limit in video render was reset when starting render for 2nd time without closing the dialog.
• Fixed a bug where final results of the MIDI Diagnosis wasn't displayed very very rarely.
• Welcome window now has an option to backup config if loading fails. Previously there was option to keep or reset config, but keep option had almost no effect.
• Options in config.yml are no longer sorted in alphabetical order.

few more stuff...

• Added special window title that shows on UMP birthday. UMP now has 4 special window titles in total.
• Refactored a lot of code. Really. It's 1530 lines deleted and astonishing 3627 lines added since 1.4.1!
• Tweaked console log but nobody cares.
• Updated batch file again but nobody cares.

1.4.1 Stuff!

• Menu bar and shortcut keys are now available in pseudo-fullscreen. To show the menu bar, just move cursor up.
• Changed [Open config.yml] to [Open UMP folder].
• You can now see tempo in MIDI Diagnosis (basic).
• All renderers now continue rendering for 1 second after end of MIDI.
• Tweaked overlays a bit.
• Improved compatibility on few old OSes and Linux. Hopefully.
• Fixed blank [Files of type] in file chooser dialog for ffmpeg.
• I did my 3rd attempt on fixing a problem where notes looked strange on extremely low render interval.
• Updated batch file.

New stuff!

• New Diagnosis. You can now see how much extra memory will be needed to load MIDI.
• Renamed [Save to mp4] to [Render to Video]. You can now create AVI file.
• New Config. Some options are now saved. Finally.

Interface stuff!

• [Count Notes & MIDI diagnosis] is now more user-friendly.
• Added speed limit to [Render to Video] dialog.
• Added preview to [Resourcepacks] dialog.
• [About UMP] dialog now looks so much better.

Changed stuff!

• [Render to Video] dialog now automatically selects ffmpeg.exe in the UMP folder if exists.
• You can now remove graph from [MIDI Thread Desync] overlay.
• More shortcut keys!
• You can now change UI font in config.

Improved stuff!

• Diagnosis no longer stops on huge MIDI.
• Max resolution is now 4096x2160.

Warning stuff!

• Transparent background AVI is so dangerous that it may instantly turn your videos terrible. Follow the directions for dosage and use carefully.

Get excited by new feature, guys

• Resource packs - New look. New feel.

Make editing easy, guys

• Show info mode - Trying MIDITrail style :)
• Info scaling - I was wondering why everyone isn't using built-in info renderer, and I guessed it could be because it doesn't look cool and it's too small. not intended to compete with keppy though. Save time and effort of extra recording and editing!
• FPS Counter mode - you can now hide graph but keep numbers visible.
• FPS limit - Come on Thread.sleep, why are you so mean.

Make videos in light speed, guys

• +140% idle playback FPS - I didn't typo here - Cleaning the code (which I never expected to increase performance) boosted FPS by hundreds.
• +58.2% mp4 save speed - 1.2.2 code was wrong, fixed it. Enjoy the true blazing fast and 100% CPU usage.
• Multithreaded MIDI Loader - Could be awesome for PCs with many slow CPU cores. Enable in config.
• MIDI Thread - better FPS on higher NPS. Maybe.

Make quality content, guys

• Greenish mp4 fix - Hopefully.
• Text antialias on mp4 - It was missing for a long long time. I finally noticed.
• 4K - Resolution limit is now officially up to 3840x2160.
• Resolution option in mp4 save - No need to make window huge just for 4K mp4.

There's more changes, guys

• Welcome window with smoooooth animation - with language select if config.yml doesn't exist. No need to close the app once anymore, just to generate default config.
• Best note counter + MIDI Diagnosis - Count notes and find problems of any MIDI files in less than 1MB memory.
• Pseudo-fullscreen.
• FPS Counter now shows frames of last second, instead of average of last 200 frames.
• It tries to change UI font to Yu Gothic UI on Windows 10. I just wanted antialias on CJK characters.
• Bit more support for OSX. better menu bar, "About" and "Quit" handling (⌘+Q is now safe, finally).
• And of course, tweaks and bugfixes.
• Secret feature has been removed. Looking for new ideas.

This is the last section, guys

• New License. Don't worry, it's still short. even 2 lines shorter now.
• Skin compatibility: No. Please switch to Resourcepack.
• Language changes: So many. See diff file included in zip.

• Add animation a tiny bit.
• Make an icon.
