Biggest new feature

Official launcher (under danser-launcher executable). No more info on this, just try it yourself ;)

Command

• Launching danser with -settings=credentials or -settings=launcher will crash as those names are reserved
• Added -preciseprogress flag
• Added -knockout2 flag

Info on those flags can be read in README

Recording

• Improved rendering speed on slow/mobile CPUs (3x improvement on Intel i5 8250U, from 0.36 to 1.1x at 1080p and QuickSync)
• New (incompatible) per encoder (video and audio) settings. Remember/backup your previous settings before using 0.7.0
• Forcing nv12 on QuickSync encoders as its improving speed
• Fixed combine process crashing if ffmpeg was in subfolder (by @jamiegyoung)
• Added FLAC support to mp4 container
• Added ffmpeg error to crash message

UI

• Fixed Hp Bar not sliding out on breaks

Audio

• Fixed 0 byte samples being rejected
• Fixed audio getting randomly delayed on some Windows machines

Storyboards

• Always load storyboard samples (similar behavior to osu)
• Don't play expired samples
• Fixed videos/samples not being loaded from subdirectories
• Don't use separate thread if only samples were loaded, reducing CPU usage
• Fixed 1 pixel elements being half-transparent

Knockout/Replays

• Fixed "bubbles" getting very big if multiple players died at similar time
• Added Knockout.MinPlayers setting (by @PercyDan54)
• Fixed SD/PF replays crashing danser randomly after fail point

Settings

• Moved api.txt to credentials.json. Migration happens automatically
• Added Playfield.Background.Parallax.Enabled option
• Added Playfield.Logo.Enabled option

Misc

• All danser crashes should be now recorded in danser.log

And probably something I forgot about.

Big thanks to beta testers of the launcher ❤

Happy dansing!!!
