A long time in the coming, partly due to my absence from my home country in January and a long list of bugs that I wanted to fix before releasing another build. In fact, this build has over 60 fixes for tracked bugs, as well as a lot of untracked ones. There are also a fair share of editor, multiplayer and interface improvements, which while most players won't notice due to the subtleness, should improve the overall osu! experience.

p.s. please check out and vote for the latest community voice poll!

Highlights:

2010-02-24 (b1458)
Online:
(+) Usernames are clickable in chat logs.
(+) Ability to select local colour for tag mode multiplayer games.
(*) Lobby filter options more compact. Searching for text overrides all filters.
(*) Scoreboard updates in multiplayer games are less frequent, and only occur after the first 10 seconds in.
(*) Extended chat search filter overrides "Friends Only" selection.

Gameplay:
(*) Many fixes and improvements to input handling.
(*) Mouse cursor hides during break/intro/outro time.
(*) ~30% first-load / 90% retry improvements on maps.

Editor:
(+) New expanded layout for seekbar.
(+) Ability to move all storyboard events by arbitrary time.
(+) Support for floating point frame delays in storyboard. More accurate animations in general.
(*) Reorganisation of windows menu system. Should make more sense now.

Misc:
(+) Full-screen toggle (alt-enter) works from song selection, options, lobby, special mode select etc.
(*) Song select interface improvements.
(*) osu!direct panel improvements.
(*) Extended user panels don't move as much. Huge performance improvements.
(*) Switching to and from test mode is around 95% faster for storyboarded maps.
(*) Respacing of all in-game dialog popups to allow use of Segoe UI on Vista/Win7.
(*) Many many bug fixes.

epic ^_^

colors are a little odd :o but that is probably a good thing.

btw can the color drop down tab be on top of the chat? currently the yellow color is hidden behind it :<

Since now it says," Difficulty: Normal (soandso)," does it mean now that map difficulties don't have to be something like "John's Insane"?

No, now it would say "John's Insane (soandso)".

'soandso' being the uploader's name.

(*) ~30% first-load / 90% retry improvements on maps.
So ~30% or 90% of what?

I don't like your avatar, so I guess we're even.

Hint: never say you don't like something without providing constructive reasoning. It just makes for hate.

... Is this supposed to happen?

It's really only noticeable in songs with more than 4 difs.

@bobzearth42: has been reported and will be fixed for next build.

Hmm~ The blue is odd...some of the stuff I'm not really seeing but thanks for the update, regardless xD

EDIT: Could it be possible to perma-disable the "Are you sure you want to exit osu!?" pop-up? Like something in the options. I see you can enable it and disable it but it still comes up whenever I try to exit with ESC.

peppy (from sifter) wrote:

As it says in the tooltip, it will activate under some circumstances to avoid accidental exit.

These are:

* hitting escape at main menu
* clicking exit while chat is visible
* exiting through any method while downloads are active

Bypassing the confirmation:

* alt-f4
* exit button when chat not visible

People complained of hitting escape too many times to get back to main menu, and exiting osu! as a result. This is why i made that one obligatory.

Hmm, personally I don't like the blue colour (it looks a bit funny), but alt+enter to switch from full screen to window is nice, as is mouse hiding.

A question though, when I'm scrolling looking for a song I want to play sometimes it jumps back to the song playing as BGM at the time. It hasn't happened before, so is this one of the fixes or possibly a glitch?
