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

libopenmpt 0.5.3 (2020-10-25)

  • [Sec] Possible hang if a MED file claimed to contain 256 songs. (r13704)

  • [Bug] libopenmpt: openmpt::is_extension_supported2() exported symbol was missing (C++).

  • [Bug] openmpt::module::set_position_seconds sometimes behaved as if the song end was reached when seeking into a pattern loop and in some other corner cases.

  • Increase threshold for ignoring panning commands from 820 to 830.
  • Subsong names now fall back to the first pattern’s name if empty.
  • MO3: Avoid certain ModPlug hacks from being fixed up twice, which could lead to e.g. very narrow pan swing range for old OpenMPT IT files saved with a recent MO3 encoder version.
  • MO3: Some files with corrupted envelope data could be rejected completely (normally libopenmpt should fix up the envelope data).
  • MO3: Song metadata didn’t correctly identify MPTM as source format (it appeared as IT instead).
  • STM: Change tempo computation to behave like Scream Tracker 2.3 instead of Scream Tracker 2.2, as the playback frequencies we use for sample playback are closer to those of Scream Tracker 2.3.
  • PLM: Percentage offset (Mxx) was slightly off.
  • WOW: Fix loading of several files and harden WOW detection.
