The latest version of OpenMPT has been released today.
This is the second bugfix update for OpenMPT 1.26, mostly to address new and old bugs found in OpenMPT 1.26, but it also brings a few other improvements. These are the noteworthy improvements
... [More]
and changes in OpenMPT 1.26.03.00:
When jumping around in the song, automated plugin parameters are now updated to their latest value.
The resampler in the sample editor can now also use all internal interpolation filters in addition to r8brain.
Better handling of volume slide and portamento command memory when converting from IT / MPTM / S3M to XM.
The VOPM plugin no longer crashes randomly when pressing cancel in OPM import / export dialogs.
IT-compatible auto-vibrato jumped very coarsely when being applied to high-pitched notes in non-linear mode.
Improved playback of some GDM, MT2 and MTM files.
MDL pattern import was broken in OpenMPT 1.26.
Better visual feedback when exporting per-channel or per-instrument.
Some input dialogs were not sized correctly when using the build for old Windows versions
For a complete list of changes, have a look at the release notes and the full version history.libopenmpt has been updated as well with the same playback and module loader fixes.

An emergency update for Wine users has been released today.
As it turns out, yesterday's release no longer reliably detected if OpenMPT was running on Wine, leading to possible wrong configuration defaults being used and a generally degraded

experience on Wine-based systems. In addition, playback via Wave Out should now work better on some Wine setups.
If you use OpenMPT on Wine, you are strongly encouraged to upgrade. For other users, there is only one further non-critical bugfix in this release, so you are not required to update.
For a full list new and noteworthy features in OpenMPT 1.26, also read the OpenMPT 1.26.01.00 release notes.

After half a year of development, it's time for the next big OpenMPT release, and OpenMPT 1.26 brings a great bunch of new and improved features.
Many changes have been done under the hood, leading to new possible features in the future releases.
... [More]
Some of them have lead to important improvements in libopenmpt, but will also benefit OpenMPT itself.
Here is a short summary of the most notable new features:
Instead of having one "compatible playback" per file, every playback quirk now has its own flag. This includes a dialog to edit these flags. These flags should not be edited manually, except for the "Set Defaults" functionality.
Find & Replace can now find ranges of data (e.g. notes C-5 to D-6) and replace them also with relative values or percentages. PC events are now also fully supported by Find & Replace.
The MIDI Input / Output plugin now sends MIDI Clock events. It is now directly integrated into OpenMPT and no longer shipped as a separate VST plugin.
To make Data Entry more useful, it is now only applied to the first column type of selection, even if it spans several channels (e.g. if the selection starts in the volume column, only volume will be changed).
Double-clicking an empty order list cell creates a new pattern.
Shift-clicking a plugin editor toggle button closes all other editors.
OpenMPT now reads the VST plugin vendor. Searching for a plugin in the plugin manager also searches in the vendor names.
Song cleanup can now merge identical patterns.
When opening an instrument plugin editor, check if the currently selected instrument would be suitable input instrument for the plugin, rather than just the first instrument that uses this plugin.
If available (on DirectX 9 and newer), DMO plugins now process in floating-point precision rather than 16-bit PCM.
Plugin editor positions are now restored properly on multi-monitor setups.
The DigiBooster Pro Echo DSP is now fully emulated and can also be used in other formats as a plugin.
The loop cross-fader now also works with sustain loops.
Try to load SF2 instruments with left and right layer as stereo samples. Detuned SF2 samples are now finally fixed!
Each sequence now has its own restart position in the MPTM format.
Parameter Extension (#xx) now also works with the Position Jump command in the MPTM format, adding the possibility to jump order list items ≥ 256.
Samples in MPTM files are now compressed by default (lossless IT compression).
Extra fine portamento now works properly with custom tunings.
Playing a sample at a sample rate close to the mix rate could lead to small clicks when using vibrato.
Countless other playback fixes.
Improved MT2 support.
Support for SoundFX / MultiMedia Sound (SFX / MMS) and ProTracker 3.6 IFF-style modules has been added.
Better tracker detection heuristics for Ultimate SoundTracker modules.
MO3 support is now built right into OpenMPT, no longer requiring the closed-source UNMO3 on Windows 7 and newer.
Ogg Vorbis and Opus support is now built-in and no longer requires an external library for stream export. Both formats can now also be imported in the sample editor.
Add a new "MP3 (compatible)" export file type that is implemented only via libmp3lame and is the same as the old libmp3lame CBR mode with strictly ID3v1 tags only. The regular MP3 export mode uses more modern defaults for better audio quality.
Added a hidden setting to distinguish between left and right modifiers (e.g. to create FT2-like play pattern shortcuts).
Fixed possible crashes and hangs with malformed files in various module formats (detected with afl).
For a complete list of changes, have a look at the release notes and the full version history.
libopenmpt has been updated as well, bringing built-in MO3 support (no longer requiring the closed-source UNMO3), support for DMO effects, decreased memory consumption and other improvements.

The latest version of OpenMPT has been released today.
This is almost purely a bugfix release for OpenMPT 1.25, with few other changes. These are the noteworthy improvements and changes in OpenMPT 1.25.04.00:
It is now possible to skip forward /
... [More]
backward in the song with the pattern navigation keyboard shortcuts and scroll wheel during playback if "follow song" is enabled.
ID3v2.4 tags were malformed in OpenMPT 1.25.03.00, leading to the first audio frame being skipped when playing the exported MP3 file. If you make use of OpenMPT's MP3 export, you are strongly advised to upgrade.
The plugin gain control in the General tab was not accessible to screen readers.
Recording MIDI CCs from MIDI was broken in MPTM files since OpenMPT 1.25.01.00.
Opening the MIDI Mapping Dialog from a bridged plugin GUI could freeze the tracker.
Global time signature values exceeding 255 rows were not loaded (but saved) correctly.
Support for a few more MOD variants (CD61, FA04, FA06, FA08, NSMS and LARD magic bytes).
Fixed a few more crashes and hangs encountered in AMF, IMF and MT2 loaders (detected with afl).
Some MOD files were erroneously detected as 669 files.
MIDI Learn in the MIDI Mapping Dialog did not work when opening the dialog from a plugin editor.
Using key bindings in paths longer than 260 characters should now work properly.
Disabling "Repeat notes on hold" for all notes at once was broken.
For a complete list of changes, have a look at the release notes and the full version history.libopenmpt has been updated as well with the same playback and module loader fixes.
By the way, we are still looking for new example songs to ship with the tracker. If you are interested, grab the samples found in the installation directory under ExampleSongs\Samples and use them to create a song, following the rules from the example song compo!
