This is a major minor update to 1.0 Beta 2. This version is mainly for solving several problems that recently received. I appreciate for all these people who send feedback and discuss their requirements.

In the next several releases, there might be no such big new features. I will focusing on code checking, bug fixing and adding the missing functions. The update log is below:

However, it will take me several days for compiling and uploading the binaries. Thanks for your patient.

Kreogist μ 1.0.0 Beta 1

This is a major minor update to 0.9.9.3. It fixed several critical bugs when facing some extreme conditions.

The update blog is below:

• Use the new singleton application class instead of using shared memory.
• Update the bass to the latest version.
• Reduce the file find signal number. Using the patch list to compress the signal.
• Fixed the error which might delete all the files under the running directory bug.

The graduation thesis took far more time than I expected. The update progress could be slow, but I will do my best to upgrade the application. Currently I am working on the following parts.

• Configuration Panels: In 1.0 final release, we will provide custom settings.
• Format Converting: In 1.0 final release, we will bundle FFMPEG as one part of Mu and providing file format converting function.
• Spliting: In 1.0 final release, we will provide the CUE file spliting function.
• Perhaps new backends: It is time to change the backend from two to one. Previously I was trying to use GStreamer to unified the backend. One of our user suggesting me to use the libmpv. To tell the truth, I was trying to add one MPV backend before, however due to my personal skill, I didn't realize it. Some new information gives me hope. This feature may not appear in 1.0 release, but must be appeared in the future release.

Hope you can enjoy the new version μ!
