it's been a while since 0.6.7... this is (hopefully) the final release in the 0.6 series. 0.7 development will begin very soon.

change log

• add Watara Supervision system
• a rather obscure console from Taiwan with two pulse channels, a noise and primitive sample channel
• add SID3 fantasy chip
• inspired by SID, this chip has 6 channels of analog-synth-like goodness, a boatload of macros and even one wave channel
• add OPL4 system
• OPL3 with 24 sample channels taken from the to-be-implemented MultiPCM
• fix 5E01 not producing sound at all
• SNES anti-click
• note that this does not eliminate clicks in samples with incompatible loop regions! it only applies to note playback.
• POKEY SAP type R export (playable by Altirra and lzss-sap on hardware)
• FamiTracker import improvements
• create instrument copies to represent what FamiTracker does (in particular, on VRC6 channels when using 2A03 instruments)
• fix Hxy effect for S5B (AY)
• fix virtual tempo going outside range
• fix VRC7 patch switch effect (Dn-FamiTracker) not being imported correctly
• find/replace improvements
• make the note selector a bit more comfortable
• search in selection now works on selected channels only (previously it would search on all channels... issue [#2393])
• fix a possible crash (issue [#2328])
• cut/delay policy is now lax
• set macro release mode to Active (issue [#2376])
• C64 4-bit PCM/digi (using volume control)
• performance optimizations for certain chips
• up to 10 times less CPU usage during playback and faster audio exports
• optimized chips include: PC Speaker, GA20, Amiga, PC Engine, SCC, NES, MMC5, VRC6, TIA, Virtual Boy, AY (not so much), Nintendo DS, T6W28, SN, SM8521, Bubble System WSG and K007232
• new WonderSwan emulation core courtesy of asiekierka (#2401)
• Virtual Boy changes
• one notorious Virtual Boy quirk is that you cannot write to wave/modulation table memory unless all channels are disabled
• Furnace wasn't taking this quirk into account, which means that exported VGMs wouldn't play on hardware
• this release makes exported VGMs work on hardware by disabling all channels on wave change
• however, this means there will be a "click" on every wave change, which can get very annoying
• it is recommended you use static mode, or change waves sparingly...
• there's a setting to go back to the old behavior, but keep in mind this will break VGM export and is not hardware-accurate!
• TFM import improvements
• implement looping
• XM import improvements
• new envelope conversion algorithm
• add ability to set multiple key binds for actions
• FM 30xx (hard reset envelope) now working on VGM export
• OPZ improvements (per-op frequency control including arp/pitch macros)
• support for MSX2 .dmf (no, I am not going to support its weird AY manners. sorry!)
• add ability to create a sample from a wavetable
• per-op fixed octave/block setting in OPN, OPL and ESFM (useful for SSG-EG)
• CSM on all OPN chips
• Combat Vehicle improvements

• small stages, modifiers, special powerups and planes

• fix a possible crash on macOS when the font texture is too large

• fix two possible hangs in MIDI code when audio output isn't working
• fix crash when selecting all after expanding/collapsing/change-effect-counting channel
• OPN: fix possible crash when using FM effects on non-FM channels (issue [#2286])
• fix some file loading exploits

• use non-greedy search to find optimal fuzzy match order
• fix the "Rendering..." window being too small at times
• add cursor undo/redo actions

• use chanMask in the Advanced parameter. for example: chanMask=0,2 will hide the first and third channel.
• fix certain things not marking song as modified
• fix preset patches not having DC, DM and KSL set correctly in the editor
• fix WaveTools in wavetable editor not updating wave in chips
• fix volume portamento inhibiting volume column after it has reached target

• add a button in sample editor to preview selection
• don't sort note keys in settings until Apply or OK are clicked (issue [#2345])
• add "set effect" option to randomize
• this sets the effect to a fixed value
• Amiga validation export improvements (now it uses VBlank interrupts and supports fast RAM)
• load fallback fonts in pattern font (issue [#2312])
• this may use too much video memory so I have added an option to disable...

note for Windows users

there are two 64-bit versions: the normal one, and a "console" version. the console version has the subsystem set to console so you can use Furnace for parsing files and/or playing in console mode (with the -console parameter). be noted that a command prompt will pop up when launching it through Explorer! if you don't need to do that, just get the regular version.
