The OpenMPT/libopenmpt project released the latest stable libopenmpt version:

libopenmpt 0.7.8 (2024-06-09)

  • [Sec] Potential heap out-of-bounds read with malformed Dynamic Studio DSm files (r20912).

  • MED: Additional command pages can now be read.
  • MED: Echo DSP is now emulated.
  • AMS: Default channel panning was broken, using all-center panning instead of MOD-style panning.
  • STP: Correctly import volume slides where both nibbles are set.
  • MDL: Pitch slide depth was wrong since libopenmpt 0.6.0.
  • DTM: Fix pitch slide depth for samples with finetune.
  • DSm: Don’t import as Amiga module (and thus allow Amiga resampler to be enabled), as this PC format can easily exceed the Amiga frequency range.
  • DSm: Only the first 48 samples were ever read.
  • STM / STX: Don’t set channel panning. ScreamTracker 2 only outputs mono sound.
  • PSM: File header probing was stricter than actual file loader, rejecting manipulated files that would otherwise load fine.

The changelog for older versions can be found at https://lib.openmpt.org/doc/changelog.html .
