Show HN: Ossia Score 3.5.3

ossia score is a sequencer for audio-visual artists, designed to create interactive shows.

Sequence OSC, MIDI, DMX, sound, video and more, between multiple software and hardware. Create interactive and intermedia scores, script and live-code with JavaScript, ISF Shaders, Faust, PureData or C++. Leverage IoT protocols such as CoAP or MQTT, interact with joysticks, Wiimotes, Leapmotions, Web APIs and BLE sensors and integrate programs from a wealth of creative programming languages such as Structure Synth, Context-Free Art and Bytebeat. Load any kind of audio or video format and process visuals through Spout, Syphon, NDI, Shmdata or Sh4lt ; sonify large datasets with CSV and HDF5 support.

ossia score 3.5.3 is another series of small bugfixes and improvements after the large 3.5.0 release.

Full Changelog: v3.5.2...v3.5.3

New features and changes

• Audio: Support using the PIPEWIRE_QUANTUM in addition to PIPEWIRE_LATENCY to set buffer size and sample rate under pipewire.
• Linux: add a small independent binary that will run to devise whether the app has all the necessary dynamic libraries available.
• OSC: allow to resolve by using DNS and not just IP addresses; refactor the DNS resolving code across the codebase. (#1689)
• Windows: implement camera resolution enumeration using the most atrocious Win32 API.
• Image node: add a stretch mode port.
• AI models: add EmotionNet support for detecting emotions, DepthAnythingV2 for converting RGB frames into depth frames, and YOLO-segmentation support.
• AI models: better default engine selection.
• Gestures: add many new gesture detection algorithms courtesy of Yash Tiwary, our GSoC student. Thanks @pyandcpp-coder!

Bugfixes

• UI: Fix an UI bug when reloading an item with an XY slider.
• Core: enforce using the same hash function in most places.
• UI: improve rendering performance of cables.
• Presets: fix loading presets of objects that may change ports.
• Core: large cleanup of codebase compiler warnings which had accumulated.
• Packaging: improve support for packaged KFR (#1819).
• Core: update to boost 1.88.
• Mapper: fix a concurrency bug which could have caused crashes when restoring a score which created and removed mapper devices.

• Graphics: allow offscreen renderers to use something else than OpenGL now that it works fine.
• MIDI: replace MIDI Pitch with MIDI Filter which is more powerful.
• Graphics: handle more cases of texture formats in different processes, e.g. support R8 or RGB as input instead of only RGBA in Avendish nodes.
• VST3: fix for some buggy plug-ins which do not follow the spec and do not allow deleting and recreating their IPlugView.
• macOS: fixes for GL rendering (#1807).
• UI: improvements to focus behaviour (#1811).
