New Additions

Editor Bookmarks

You can now add bookmarks to your maps in the editor. This was a feature request that spanned back about three years. Bookmarks are another useful tool to keep track of what you're doing while creating maps in the editor.

To create a bookmark, simply click the "+ Add Bookmark" button at the bottom of the editor, or press CTRL+B.
To edit a bookmark, you can left click one of the yellow ticks in the timeline.
To delete a bookmark, you can right click one of the yellow ticks in the timeline.

Multiplayer Server Rewrite

Over the past few months, we've been working on rewriting our original multiplayer server, so that we can provide a better experience for everyone. The original server was buggy, had frequent disconnection issues, and was becoming increasingly more difficult to add new features. With this rewrite, things should be more stable and also open the door for us to experiment with new realtime multiplayer features.

However, we made the conscious decision to remove/change some of the features the old server had:

Auto Host is now an option that can be applied to any multiplayer game instead of having their own dedicated lobbies. This should remove the clutter in the multiplayer lobby, as well as give the host more control over when the matches start.
Team mode in multiplayer is no longer available.
The jukebox screen is no longer available.
The #announcements channel in-game has been removed, and will be replaced with a #first-places channel soon.
The #offtopic chat channel in-game has been removed.

If you experience any bugs with the new server, please report them on GitHub, so we can put out a fix ASAP.

Other Additions

In the miscellaneous section of the options menu, there are now settings to prioritize the game mode and difficulty rating that is automatically highlighted when you choose a map in song select.
Increased performance during gameplay — notably during intense scroll velocity sections.
Increased performance while scrolling through a lot of maps in song select.
The grade in the results screen is now skinnable.
Added the skin.ini option to change the y position of the song progress bar.
Added a setting in the options menu to to enable "Tap to restart" during gameplay. This makes it so instead of holding the restart button for a brief period of time, simply tapping it will trigger a restart.
Increased the range of the audio and visual offset settings to -500 to 500.
The experimental theater screen has been removed.

Bug Fixes

Fixed the sound effect volume not being consistent with the master volume.
Fixed the "Player Profile" button in the leaderboard directing to the incorrect user.
Fixed a crash in the editor when placing an object without a timing point.
Fixed an issue that does not render objects in scroll containers.
Fixed time signatures and timing lines not being copied when copying timing points in the editor.
Fixed duplicate scroll velocity and timing point selections while shift clicking in the editor.
Fixed an issue with replays failing when missing long notes.
Fixed an issue where the the 7K+1 scratch lane was not ignored when using the Inverse, Full Long Notes, Randomize, and Mirror modifiers.
Fixed an issue where the game would not launch with some controllers plugged in.
Fixed a crash when changing modifiers in multiplayer while being host and not having the selected map.
Fixed duplicate ghost users in multiplayer.
Fixed disbanded multiplayer games showing up in the lobby.
