Pulsarc was updated from using .NET Core 2.2.7 to .NET Core 2.2.8, this means that there isn't an easy "patch" method for all the extra files in Pulsarc's directory. You will want to replace all files except Skin files, beatmap.db, and scores.db from your 1.3.2 (or lower) directory with the files from this release, or just start clean from this one.

Now that the auto-updater is complete (and after making sure there aren't any major bugs with it for the next few releases), there will be a lot more work done on the editor. When it's ready for testing auto-update will be very useful for testing changes.
The grading, scoring, and judgement systems in the game will also start being reworked. This benefits from an auto-updater as we will need all the info we can get from testers to make good systems. The old systems will be available as an option until the new systems are finalized.

Big thanks to Iso#1187 on Discord for his help with testing fixes for the frame-stutter.

Thanks to BluefireMeit#5957, Frostbite#3666, Iso#1187, and Yokkako#3451 on Discord for finding and reporting bugs!

Changenotes

Added

  • Auto-updating before Pulsarc launches.
  • A skinnable bar during gameplay to represent the time left in the map.
  • Hitsounds and misssounds. Control effect volume by changing EffectVolume in config.ini.
  • MissSoundThreshold to config.ini. This setting determines how many notes will pass before the misssound will play again.
  • Option to disable hitsounds for specific judgements in skin/audio.ini

Changed

  • Scrolling in the song select or settings menu is no longer infinite.

Removed

  • The AllMessages setting.

Fixed

  • Major framerate stutter issues for some users. If you are still dealing with bad frame stutters, try either lowering your FPSLimit option in config.ini, or set it to 0 for unlimited frame rate (which gets rid of the issue causing stutters).
  • A game crash when pressing backspace when there's no text in the box.
  • Framerate stuttering when both Vsync and FPSLimit are enabled.
  • Inconsistent typing in the searchbar of the Song Select.
  • Process not quitting when clicking the X button or Alt+F4'ing (This means no more "Playing Pulsarc" on Discord for hours after you last left the game)
  • Screenshot tool not working and/or crashing the game (hopefully)
