  • [Regression] Support for Emscripten versions older than 3.1.51 has been removed.

  • [Regression] Using EMSCRIPTEN_PORTS=1 with Emscripten older than 3.1.54 now requires additionally specifying ANCIENT=1.

  • When formatting pattern data, effect letters in the volume column are now always formatted correctly, regardless of the module format.
  • IT: Various playback fixes.
  • IT: When using tone portamento to another sample after the previous sample’s sustain loop has been released, the new sample should also not play its sustain loop.
  • IT: When triggering an empty instrument note slot, completely ignore the pattern cell - do not reset the currently playing instrument’s envelopes, and also don’t process any effects - including global ones.
  • IT: Offset with instrument number but no note should play offset effect with previous note.
  • IT: Fixed various combinations of volume column and effect column portamento effects.
  • IT: Implemented a quirk in command Lxx that always executes a portamento down when no tone portamento has been set up before, sometimes causing the target note to be reached immediately, or sliding the note down very subtly.
  • IT: Envelope Carry should not be influenced by a previous note-off.
  • XM: When a key-off is encountered before auto-vibrato reaches full depth, the depth is reset.
  • S3M: Combined slides (Kxy / Lxy) are no longer run on the first tick of a row in files made with Scream Tracker.
  • MOD: Groo’s “The Ultimate Beeper” now plays like in ProTracker.
  • DTM: Portamentos are now also evaluated on the first tick of the row.
  • MO3: If multiple sample slots shared the same Ogg Vorbis sample, only one sample slot was loaded.
  • MED: Various playback fixes.
  • SymMOD: Files containing more than 127 channels are no longer rejected.
  • Better support for automatic slide commands (commands that keep sliding on following rows) in various formats.

  • The pattern channel limit was raised from 127 to 192 for some formats.

  • openmpt123: Multi-threaded encoding is enabled with libFLAC 1.5.0 or newer.

  • xmp-openmpt: Memory consumption during file loading has been reduced.
