The OpenMPT/libopenmpt project released the new stable libopenmpt version 0.7:

libopenmpt 0.7.0 (2023-04-30)

  • [New] 667 files from Composer 667 are now supported.
  • [New] GTK and GT2 files from Gramouf Tracker are now supported.
  • [New] Can now read a variant of the DSMI AMF format called DMF, as found in various DOS games distributed by Webfoot (Tronic, H2O, PowBall, etc.).
  • [New] DSM files from Dynamic Studio are now supported.
  • [New] XMF files from the DOS game Imperium Galactica are now supported.
  • [New] Can now read the hacked MOD format (DMF) from the game “Apocalypse Abyss”.
  • [New] libopenmpt: New APIs for getting the current tempo as a floating point value: openmpt::module::get_current_tempo2() (C++), and openmpt_module_get_current_tempo2() (C).
  • [New] C API: New stream callbacks for various platform extensions to the C stdio interface: openmpt_stream_get_file_posix_lfs64_callbacks() in libopenmpt/libopenmpt_stream_callbacks_file_posix_lfs64.h for explicit off64_t on Posix systems, openmpt_stream_get_file_posix_callbacks() in libopenmpt/libopenmpt_stream_callbacks_file_posix.h for off_t on Posix systems, openmpt_stream_get_file_msvcrt_callbacks() in libopenmpt/libopenmpt_stream_callbacks_file_msvcrt.h for 64bit file support on Windows systems with the Microsoft C runtime, and openmpt_stream_get_file_mingw_callbacks() in libopenmpt/libopenmpt_stream_callbacks_file_mingw.h for 64bit file support when targetting MinGW. The old openmpt_stream_get_file_callbacks() has been deprecated in favour of a stricly standard conforming openmpt_stream_get_file_callbacks2() in the same libopenmpt/libopenmpt_stream_callbacks_file.h header. libopenmpt/libopenmpt.h defines LIBOPENMPT_STREAM_CALLBACKS_FILE_POSIX_LFS64, LIBOPENMPT_STREAM_CALLBACKS_FILE_POSIX, LIBOPENMPT_STREAM_CALLBACKS_FILE_MSVCRT, and LIBOPENMPT_STREAM_CALLBACKS_FILE_MINGW respectively in order to allow for checking header availability.
  • [New] C API: New stream callbacks for memory buffers. openmpt_stream_get_buffer_callbacks() and openmpt_stream_buffer_init() are deprecated. Use openmpt_stream_get_buffer_callbacks2() and openmpt_stream_buffer_init2() instead. The new variants do not support loading only a file prefix and checking for overflow any more. This was only useful when using the old openmpt_could_open_probability2() style interface from the libopenmpt 0.2 API, which has been superseded by openmpt_probe_file_header(), openmpt_probe_file_header_without_filesize(), and openmpt_probe_file_header_from_stream() in libopenmpt 0.3.0.
  • [New] libopenmpt_ext: New interface interactive3 adding openmpt::ext::interactive3::set_current_tempo2() (C++) and openmpt_module_ext_interface_interactive3.set_current_tempo2() (C) which allow setting non-integer tempo values.
  • [New] New Makefile option CONFIG=mingw-w64 which consolidates all MinGW-w64 build configurations with the following options: MINGW_FLAVOUR=[|-posix|-win32], WINDOWS_ARCH=[x86|amd64], WINDOWS_FAMILY=[|desktop-app|app|phone-app|pc-app], and WINDOWS_VERSION=[win95|win98|winme|winnt4|win2000|winxp|winxp64|winvista|win7|win8|win8.1|win10|win11].
  • [New] New Makefile option CONFIG=mingw which consolidates all MinGW build configurations with the following options: MINGW_FLAVOUR=[|-posix|-win32], and WINDOWS_VERSION=[win95|win98|winme|winnt4|win2000|winxp].
  • [New] Building with MSYS2 is now fully supported for Makefile and Autotools build systems.
  • [New] Makefile CONFIG=djgpp now supports CPU= option to build optimized for a particular CPU. See build/make/config-djgpp.mk for all available options. FLAVOURED_DIR=1 places the CPU-specific optimized builds in separate folders below bin/.
  • [New] Building with a MinGW32 CRTDLL toolchain is now supported via Makefile option CONFIG=mingw32crt.
  • [New] Makefile now uses PKG_CONFIG as path to pkg-config.
  • [New] The C++ API is now also enabled for Emscripten builds by default.
  • [New] Support for GCC 7 has been restored.
  • [New] Support for Clang 6 has been restored.
  • [New] Support for Android NDK 18 has been restored.
  • [New] openmpt123: --banner [0|1|2] allows changing the openmpt123 banner style to hidden, shown, or verbose, respectively.

  • [New] openmpt123: --assume-terminal allows skipping the openmpt123 terminal check, and thus allows running the UI with non-terminal stdin, which can be useful for some very basic remote control functionality.

  • [Change] xmp-openmpt: The Amiga resampler emulation is now enabled by default.
  • [Change] in_openmpt: The Amiga resampler emulation is now enabled by default.
  • [Change] The official Windows builds (x86, amd64, arm, arm64) now require Windows 10 21H2 (or later). The official legacy Windows builds (x86-legacy, amd64-legacy) are unchanged and still require Windows 7 (or later).
  • [Change] "date" metadata will now exlude the UTC time zone signifier Z if the precise time zone is unknown.
  • [Change] ctl seek.sync_samples now defaults to 1.
  • [Change] Makefile CONFIG=generic is gone. Please use CONFIG=standard instead.
  • [Change] Makefile CONFIG=macosx and CONFIG=haiku have been removed. The OS is auto-detected.
  • [Change] Makefile options CONFIG=mingw64-win32, CONFIG=mingw64-win64, CONFIG=mingw64-winrt-x86, CONFIG=mingw64-winrt-amd64, and CONFIG=mingw-win9x have been replaced by CONFIG=mingw-w64, and CONFIG=mingw.
  • [Change] Autotools now default to C++20 and only fall back to C++17 when C++20 is not supported.
  • [Change] Makefile now defaults to C++20 and only falls back to C++17 when C++20 is not supported by the compiler.
  • [Change] Makefile now defaults to C17 and only falls back to C11 when C17 is not supported by the compiler.
  • [Change] Makefile CONFIG=djgpp option USE_ALLEGRO42 now defaults to 1 and implies building a liballegro42 locally. This requires executing build/download_externals.sh before building to download the liballegro42 sources.
  • [Change] in_openmpt: The Winamp input plugin in_openmpt is now deprecated for use with the latest Winamp or WACUP releases. Please use the native implementations available in Winamp >=5.9.0 or WACUP instead. This does not mean that in_openmpt/in_mod will not receive further development, it just means that the responsibility now lies with the player implementors themselves. We will still maintain the status quo of our in_openmpt input plugin for users of earlier Winamp version, or users on older systems, or users of compatible players.

  • [Change] The POSIX fd file callbacks implementation now handles EINTR and retries the read() call.

  • [Regression] Full support for Visual Studio 2017 has been removed. We still support targeting Windows XP with Visual Studio 2017.
  • [Regression] Support for mingw-std-threads has been removed. If you require a thread-safe libopenmpt, please build with POSIX threading model and/or complain to MinGW/GCC about not properly supporting C++11 features in 2023.
  • [Regression] Support for Emscripten versions older than 3.1.1 has been removed.
  • [Regression] C API: openmpt_stream_get_file_callbacks() used to provide 64bit file access on some platforms where long is 32bit. This never worked reliably for all platforms though. The behaviour is now changed to always stick to what standard C supports with fseek and ftell, where the offset type is long. openmpt_stream_get_file_callbacks() is deprecated now due to behavioral change. Please migrate to openmpt_stream_get_file_callbacks2().

  • [Regression] Using the system-provided liballegro42 is no longer supported. The option BUNDLED_ALLEGRO42=1 does not exist any more.

  • Reduced aliasing when downsampling with the Sinc + Low-Pass resampler.
  • The sample position is now rounded instead of truncated when resampling without interpolation.
  • Seeking with sample sync now supports portamento up / down commands as well as IMF/ PTM note slides. Tone portamento is now synchronized correctly when seeking in DBM, 669 and MED with fast slides (first tick of portamento was previously not executed).
  • The filter cutoff frequency is no longer rounded to integer frequency values.
  • MED: Tempos higher than 255 BPM can now be imported in pattern data.
  • MED: MMD1 files with more than 16 channels are now supported.
  • ULT: Import 8-bit volume commands with full precision.
  • IT: Initial “last note memory” of every channel is C-0, so a lone instrument number without note triggers that note.
  • S3M: Better approximation of old “stereo control” SAx command used in Purple Motion’s PANIC.S3M.
  • S3M: In ScreamTracker 3.03 and later, OPL notes with tone portamento next to them are delayed until the next row and then the new pitch is used instantly.
  • MO3: Envelope sustain was not imported correctly if the source file was an XM.
  • MOD: Lone instrument number with retrigger effect swap sample immediately.

  • Recalling a sample’s default volume using an instrument number (as opposed to regular volume commands) previously ramped the volume change smoothly over a whole tick. Now the user-configured ramp settings are used instead (as it would happen when using a volume command to achieve the same effect).

  • zlib: v1.2.12 (2022-03-27).
  • mpg123: v1.31.3 (2023-03-19).
  • ogg: v1.3.5 (2021-06-04).
  • vorbis: v1.3.7 (2020-07-04).

  • minimp3: commit 50d2aaf360a53653b718fead8e258d654c3a7e41 (2021-11-27).
  • stb_vorbis: v1.22 commit 5a0bb8b1c1b1ca3f4e2485f4114c1c8ea021b781 (2021-07-12).
