Yass Reloaded 2023.7

Release Notes

• You probably won't notice, but from this release on, Yass has been migrated to Java 17. Since I'm still planning to migrate from Swing to JavaFX, I will leave this issue #4 open
• SarutaSan72#11 : Not quite there yet. This release still won't play ogg-files, BUT now it's possible to play m4a
• SarutaSan72#99 : When Yass was left open for a bit, MIDI playback would start to lag. A lot. While I couldn't quite figure out the reason for this, Yass will now re-initialize the MIDI synthesizer each time the editor is opened. This way, re-opening the song will get rid of the lag, and you don't have to restart the whole application
• SarutaSan72#109 : Now you can configure Yass to refresh the song library on each startup
• SarutaSan72#112 : Overlapping notes across pages will now be detected
• SarutaSan72#132 : When changing playlists, refreshing the song library or changing the selected playlist will not trigger a warning with the option to save any changes

Yass Reloaded 2023.6

Release Notes

I realize that this is quite a short time between the last release. I had the previous version sitting there for two or three weeks, before I figured out, how I can make releases. I think, I will now continue to do this at a montly basis (or more, depending on how much I'll get done).

What's New?

• Autocorrect Spacing: I have fixed some spots I have missed the first time around

• Added hyphenation support for French, Italian, Portuguese and Turkish

• Splitting with Syllables: Now, when splitting syllables, Yass will try to split the note between the first and the second syllable (useful, when only words had been tapped at song creation). Note that this is based on the existing hyphenation mechanism that only covers a limited selection of languages

• Language Detection: When a TXT is missing the #LANGUAGE-Tag, an automatic language detection will kick in and suggest a language (somewhat fixes SarutaSan72#20)

Yass Reloaded 2023.5

Release Notes

So, this is the first release of "Yass Reloaded" that has been forked from the original "Yass 2.4.3".

What's New?

• Possibility to configure default spacing for auto-correction
  -- Autocorrect now supports uncommon spacing either as leading (legacy method) or trailing spaces (like e. g. USDX 2023, Ultrastar Manager, etc) (fixes SarutaSan72#123)
• Saving files as UTF-8 is now configured as default (Fixes SarutaSan72#124)
• Maven framework was added to project (fixes SarutaSan72#87)

Other Fixes

• Songlist cache was saved as ANSI. Now the cache is saved as UTF-8
• Fobs4JMF was removed from the project because it was not used
• Minor refactorings to clean up the code

I also started adding unit tests
