v0.7.0

What's new

• Added live streaming support
  • Configure the credentials of an Icecast2-compatible server on the Streaming tab in Program Options.
  • Start/stop the live stream by pressing F8 or using the corresponding option in the global playback controls or the Tools menu.

Changed:

• The old compact list view has been removed; multi-column is now the default.
• Various other GUI improvements.

v0.6.0

This should have been a release focused purely on code quality, but it also ended up including some new features.

What's new

• Added multiroom mode
  • This is a special variant of mixer mode that allows each deck to have its own sound device.
  • Select the desired output device from the deck's context menu. Changes take effect immediately.
  • The remaining modes work as usual.
• A multi-column deck list view has been added.
  • Select your preferred list view in the General tab of the Program Options.
  • Linux and MacOS use a DataView list control because the native list control is not accessible on these systems.
• A deck menu and playback menu have been added for users who prefer menu bar navigation.
• Play/pause and stop shortcuts have been added for all decks and for individual decks.
• The options dialogue shortcut has been changed to Ctrl+Shift+O.
• The allowed deck count has been increased to 128. The default count remains at 10 decks.
• The command line interface has been added to the compiled packages.

v0.5.0

Whats new

• Text-to-speech event announcements can be activated in preferences.
• Replaced the shortcuts file with a more comprehensive user documentation, press F1 to access.
• Added Windows installer.

Fixed

• Crossfade duration setting in automation preferences no longer uses tenths, and is now fully accessible.
• A problem in level-based switching has been fixed where the setting was still enabled when it shouldn't have been.

v0.4.0

New features

• Support for VST3 effects has been added, but it is still very experimental.
• Added streaming of sound card inputs, accessible via the deck's context menu or by pressing Ctrl+D.

Changed:

• Replaced tabs with ListView in options and effects dialogues, allowing first-letter navigation.
• Split effect chains into built-in effects and VST plugins.
• Remove the menu ellipsis from translations to avoid duplicate strings.

Binaries

• multideck_win64.zip: Windows 64 bit
• multideck_linux_x64.tar.gz: Linux 64 bit, built on Debian 13.

v0.3.1

Whats new

• Added level-based switching to automation mode
  • New configuration options in automation tab for threshold, hysteresis and hold time.
• Added a level meter with visual and dB indicator to main window.

Fixed

• Linux: Fixed GTK-related accessibility issues and warnings.

v0.3.0

What's new:

• Enhance cross-platform compatibility
• Added a key down event handler to the deck listbox to allow opening the context menu with Enter, Return, or the Application/Menu key. This improves accessibility, particularly for VoiceOver users on macOS who cannot trigger the context menu via the standard event.
• Introduces a new CLI (src/cli.py) for running MultiDeck in headless mode, suitable for server or script integration. Only supports loading .mdap project files at the moment.
• Options: Add per-tab Apply behavior and change detection to the Options dialog, allowing users to apply a single section without closing the dialog.
• Make all dialog buttons translatable throughout the app.
• Added optional recording of individual decks.
• Added some basic audio effects (Ctrl+Shift+E), powered by Spotify Pedalboard library. Effect configuration is saved in project files and will be restored upon opening a project.

v0.2.3

• Project management: Track mixer and deck modifications and prompt users to save changes when opening, closing or creating new projects.
• Add an unsaved indicator to the window title.
• Add M3U import and export.
• Remove the redundant deck menu leftovers from the old GUI.
• Fix some menu shortcuts for the German locale.
