- set default SDL audio driver on Windows Vista to winmm in order to get audio working again
- fix duty effect not working without note on VRC6
- fix VIC-20 on/off macro or note off not being taken into account when playing from position
changes/additions
- improve chip mixing for certain presets (SCC, PC-88 and PC-98) - thanks Iyatemu!
- YM2612 chip is now YM2612 by default (it was YM3438 before)
- Windows 2000 support
- add winners from the Blank Contest to Demo Songs
- add speed drift compensation options to VGM export
- this is added in order to compensate for a slight, yet noticeable difference in playback speed when using DeadFish's Genesis VGM player
note for Windows XP/Legacy Systems users
the Windows XP version of Furnace is working once again. I've had an issue with the compiler, which has been temporarily sorted out by downgrading the C runtime package.
as a bonus, Furnace now supports Windows 2000!!! you'll need DirectX 9 installed though.
note for Windows Vista users
this release should work properly on Vista now. it wasn't launching due to dependency on a 7-exclusive function (̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶a̶f̶t̶e̶r̶ ̶f̶i̶x̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶r̶e̶ ̶w̶o̶u̶l̶d̶n̶'̶t̶ ̶b̶e̶ ̶s̶o̶u̶n̶d̶ ̶o̶u̶t̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶b̶o̶x̶ ̶d̶u̶e̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶a̶n̶ ̶i̶n̶c̶o̶m̶p̶l̶e̶t̶e̶ ̶W̶A̶S̶A̶P̶I̶ ̶i̶m̶p̶l̶e̶m̶e̶n̶t̶a̶t̶i̶o̶n̶)̶.
a user has reported that sound still does not work as it should. if it does not, try changing the audio backend to PortAudio in Settings > Audio.
