This is a big update made after the long time of no other releases made since 2018'th year.

Significant updates

  • Native-MIDI on Windows got the alternative MIDI sequencer code that supports loop points and has the workaround for MS-GS synthesizer volume changing that affects the general volume of the whole application.
  • Added the alternative FluidLite library support (as an alternative to the FluidSynth module) that uses the alternative MIDI sequencer with the full seek-ability and loop points.
  • Added support for libXMP tracker module music player library
  • Added support for minimp3 as a small alternative to general libmad and libmpg123 libraries (the library itself is shipped with MixerX' sources)
  • Added support for stb-vorbis as a small alternative to libogg and libvorbis by Ximp (the library itself is shipped with MixerX' sources)
  • Added the full-featured multi-music API that allows to play multiple instances of Mix_Music in parallel. This is the separated set of new-added calls which you can use in parallel with old single-stream music API. Old single-stream music API kept working the same to keep the backward compatibility.
  • Music streams (Mix_Music) now support individual effects (including all built-in effects such as panning/position/distance/reverse-stereo).
  • For MIDI, Chiptunes, and tracker music the tempo change ability has been added
  • For MIDI, Chiptunes, and tracker music the track (or channel) muting/unmuting ability has been added
  • On the CMake build the final license indication has been added to make sure which final license (depends on codec enabled will be applied to the whole library: if you link any GPL-licensed codecs, the library will have GPL license, statically-linked LGPL modules will make library being also LGPL, and using other codecs BSD or MIT licensed, will keep the own ZLib licenze being applied to the final library build)
  • Fixed several bugs
