Hi GDQ viewers! You can download the game from GitHub, here. I'm not entirely
certain this server can handle all of you, so please be gentle.

edit: regular site functionality is back now that traffic is lower, so the rest
of this post has been removed.

STEPMANIA 5.1 BETA 2 RELEASED!

The StepMania project is proud to announce the release of StepMania 5.1 Beta 2;
this is the second publicly-released beta build based on the "5_1-new" branch
(see roadmap update for details).

StepMania 5.1 focuses primarily on internal enhancements, especially for content
creators (including but not limited to controller support improvements, support
for custom songs in profiles on USB drives, fullscreen improvements on X11, a
large number of new modifier effects, and a new image caching system), while
preserving compatibility with StepMania 5.0.x content such as themes and
noteskins. Speaking of themes, by far the most significant, user-visible change
on 5.1 is a new default theme known as Lambda, which features a brighter
appearance and a cleaner interface.

Over the previous release, Beta 2 features bug fixes and other minor
improvements, as well as some visual refreshes (including a new color scheme and
a flatter, more consistent appearance) and other bug fixes for the new default
theme.





Source code and a Windows installer are available now, with MacOS to come
shortly. If you encounter any issues with this release, please do not hesitate
to report them on our GitHub issue tracker. Please note that StepMania 5.1 uses
a separate folder for user files and profile data than StepMania 5.0, so you may
have to migrate content to the new location, or configure alternate locations
separate from your user data directory.

For more information, including a detailed changelog and downloads, visit its
release page on GitHub.

AUTOSTEPPER: NEW & COMPLETE TOOL FOR AUTOMATIC STEP GENERATION

Unhappy with current generation tools, I set out to make my own that had these
important features:

* Generate all difficulty levels
* Generate holds & jumps
* Obtain banner & background art
* Run locally without interaction
* Process multiple music files at once
* Multiple beat detection methods
* Cross-platform support

So, here it is -- AutoStepper by Phr00t's Software:
https://github.com/phr00t/AutoStepper

It works on a common line with arguments, which are all optional. If you just
run the Java program, it will scan & process all mp3s (and wavs) in the current
directory, and spit out folders for each song in the same directory (90 seconds
worth of steps by default).

The arguments are:

input=<file or dir> output=<songs dir> duration=<seconds to process>
synctime=<offset start time in seconds> tap=<true/false>

If you set tap=true, AutoStepper won't try and automatically calculate the BPM
or offset, and will instead prompt you to hit ENTER along with 30 consecutive
beats. AutoStepper will then do the rest.

It is best to let AutoStepper run through a whole bunch of music, and ones that
it might not get exactly right -- to then pull out & use tap=true on them.

You can also use the output as a base to further edit & perfect songs, with
AutoStepper doing most of the dirty work.

Enjoy, it is free! Designed for pad use, I should add.

- Phr00t

STEPMANIA 5.1 BETA 1 RELEASED

The StepMania project is proud to announce the release of StepMania 5.1 Beta 1;
this is the first publicly-released beta build based on the "5_1-new" branch
(see roadmap update for details), so it is significantly different from the
previous alpha builds named "5.1" that were released in 2016.

StepMania 5.1 focuses primarily on internal enhancements, especially for content
creators (including but not limited to controller support improvements, support
for custom songs in profiles on USB drives, fullscreen improvements on X11, a
large number of new modifier effects, and a new image caching system), while
preserving compatibility with StepMania 5.0.x content such as themes and
noteskins. Speaking of themes, by far the most significant, user-visible change
on 5.1 is a new default theme known as Lambda, which features a brighter
appearance and a cleaner interface.



Source code, a Windows installer, and a macOS binary build are available now. If
you encounter any issues with this release, please do not hesitate to report
them on our GitHub issue tracker. Please note that StepMania 5.1 uses a separate
folder for user files and profile data than StepMania 5.0, so you may have to
migrate content to the new location, or configure alternate locations separate
from your user data directory.

For more information, including a detailed changelog and downloads, visit its
release page on GitHub.

Edit: There were some issues with the Windows installer originally uploaded
(particularly, it did not identify itself correctly or use "StepMania 5.1" as
the installation path). This has now been fixed. Additionally, a macOS version
is now available.

We are pleased to release the official StepManiaX SDK as a special gift to the
StepMania community. This provides theme developers with direct access to all of
the StepManiaX Stage features found in our configuration tool. (panel lighting,
calibration, sensitivity settings, etc) We look forward to seeing what you do
with it!
https://github.com/steprevolution/stepmaniax-sdk

Also, we're preparing a release for the new year. I had intended to release it
today, but some final changes still need to be made. Happy 2018 everyone!

REGISTRATION ENABLED AGAIN, SITE UPDATE

Thanks to Fenrir we've got a new captcha and I've turned registration back on
again. Hopefully it helps!

I've also started building a new backend for the site. There should be a lot of
new features to go along with future game updates, improvement to basic stuff
like the download page and some visual updates, but it won't be ready this year.
All current accounts and posts will be carried over to the new system when it's
ready.

update: registration is disabled again, the relief from spam was short lived and
came back worse than ever. I apologize to anyone who can't register because of
this, I intend to fix it when I overhaul the site in 2018

STEPMANIA 5.1, 5.2 ROADMAP UPDATE

Due to the amount of remaining work needed, the scope of changes, and in
response to feedback about difficulty with new systems: StepMania 5.1 is now
going to be postponed to 5.2, and to bring some of 5.2's less invasive and more
demanded features to people we're going to be backporting things onto 5.0 for
version 5.1.

Features planned for 5.1 include:

* Loading songs from profiles on USB drives
* PacDrive support
* Updated default theme
* Profile improvements (including switching stats XML to an SQLite database)
* Mouse support for all platforms (may not be used in the default theme - but
available for others)
* Stencil-based masking by default instead of zbuffer masking, so masking 3D
objects behaves better without resorting to render to texture.

Further, to address compatibility concerns, this release should be almost
entirely compatible with 5.0 content, so long as it doesn't depend on an
already-deprecated API or the default theme (fallback will be fine). Small
updates may be needed due to changing behavior of things like masking, but we
don't intend to break anything major for this one.

EDIT: Also, help wanted with maintaining the website. It's PHP/SilverStripe, and
the source is on GitHub. If anyone is interested in working on anti-spam
measures or being a forum moderator so I can re-enable the registration form,
please contact me via #stepmania-devs IRC or Twitter (@shakesoda).

STEPMANIA 5.1.-3 RELEASED

Latest StepMania 5.1 release is 5.1.-3.
Read the release notes for info on updating themes and noteskins.

Notable changes:
* Default noteskin is now similar to 5.0 default
* When picking songs for edit mode, they are displayed in a menu, instead of one
at a time. Also, you can use page up and page down in the menu.
* Menu of recently edited charts for quick navigation when returning to editing.
* Loading autosaves temporarily disabled.
* More control over the notefield in edit mode, allowing you to adjust the
noteskin, zoom, and other fields. (zoom 0.2, y offset 0. Smaller notes, and
receptors are in the center. http://i.imgur.com/kwAlIJT.png)
* Practice and Edit Courses temporarily inaccessible.

STEPMANIA 5.0.12 & FORUM STATUS UPDATE

StepMania 5.0.12 is out!

This post is a bit late, but the fixes in this build are pretty minor. Includes
some crash fixes and should not break compatibility with any existing content,
so all users are encouraged to update.

Note that the pause menu is enabled in this build to fix accidental backing out
on soft pad. To access the menu, press back twice.

As for the forum: registration is temporarily disabled until...

1) We get some new anti-spam measures on reg/posting
2) Password reset emails are fixed
3) I've enabled SSL on the server (this is a longstanding todo, I feel like it's
rather irresponsible to still not be using it in 2016)

Sorry for the inconvenience, I'll try to get it all sorted out soon.

MASTER BRANCH MOVING TO 5.1

In a couple weeks, the 5_1_0 branch on the stepmania repository will be merged
into the master branch.
Anybody that maintains a forked project based off of stepmania's master branch
should switch to using the 5_0 branch instead of master.
No more releases are planned in the 5.0.x line, and there probably won't be any
further commits made to the 5_0 branch.
The 5_0 branch exists only to allow backporting of fixes if someone other than
the main stepmania team wishes to do so.
