Editor

Speed up metronome in timing screen when pressing control key (#31342 by @minetoblend)

Changes the speed at which the metronome swings & the tick sample plays to 2x (or 3x when beat divisor is in triples mode) the speed when control is pressed, matching stable behavior.

Fix slider repeats not properly respecting "show hit markers" setting (#31354 by @bdach)

Fix slider end circles not remaining for long enough when hit animations disabled (#31390 by @peppy)

Reset playback speed to 100% on entering test play (#31445 by @bdach)

Force new combo on objects succeeding a break (#31448 by @bdach)

Display storyboard in editor (#31364 by @bdach)

Add combo colour override control to editor (#31473 by @bdach)

Fix performance degradation while trying to place object with a new combo in the editor. (#31446 by @EVAST9919)

Smaller changes

• Round object coordinates to nearest integers on legacy export rather than truncating (#31305 by @bdach)
  • This fixes minor issues with snapping when exporting for use in stable. It's going to be more important soon as BSS comes online.
• Always block scroll input above editor toolbox areas (#31383 by @peppy)
• Constrain range of usable characters in romanised metadata to ASCII only (#31433 by @bdach)
• Reduce allocations in the editor caused by TimelineBlueprintContainer (#31436 by @EVAST9919)
• Select closest timing point every time the timing screen is changed to (#31454 by @bdach)
• Delete entire juice stream when only one vertex remains after deleting another vertex (#31452 by @bdach)
• Fix juice stream placement blueprint being initially visually offset (#31453 by @bdach)

Gameplay

Fix not being able to apply last play offset after returning to song select (#31386 by @peppy)

This stopped working recently, but we heard the feedback that this is too useful to do away with!

Implement spectator list display (#31526 by @bdach)

Smaller changes

• Fix rate adjustments changing the spacing between replay frames (#31459 by @peppy)
• Apply beatmap offset to all difficulties only if they have the same audio (#31523 by @Rudicito)
• Fix gameplay offset adjustment limits not being enforced (#31533 by @peppy)

Gameplay (osu!)

Fix slider repeat arrows animating incorrectly in editor / replays (#31388 by @peppy)

Gameplay (osu!catch)

• Fix slider event generator incorrectly not generating repeats when tick distance is zero (#31306 by @bdach)

Online Play

Add multiplayer auto-start setting for 10 seconds (#31381 by @peppy)

This was added due to feedback that the previous minimum of 30 seconds feels too long for most cases.

Fix star range display looking a bit bad when changing opacity (#31435 by @peppy)

Before	After

Add notifications for when friends go online or offline (#31444 by @smoogipoo)

Note that the friends overlay won't yet update in realtime with status changes – that's coming soon!

Smaller changes

• Remove status check for metadata update queue watching (ppy/osu-server-spectator#254 by @peppy)
• Avoid sending user presence updates when nothing has changed (ppy/osu-server-spectator#256 by @peppy)
• Ensure user state is never conveyed for "appear offline" users (ppy/osu-server-spectator#257 by @peppy)
• Always broadcast user presence to users' friends (ppy/osu-server-spectator#255 by @smoogipoo)
• Fix connection errors on self-friends (ppy/osu-server-spectator#260 by @smoogipoo)

Performance

• Fix stutter on intensive storyboards when entering break time with 100% background dim (#31506 by @peppy)
  • This avoids piled-up overhead when entering break time. It's not great, but it is what we need for now to avoid weirdness.

Platform (Desktop)

Change the way extensions are handled to better support side-by-side osu!stable installs (#31438 by @Susko3)

With this change, you will now be able to select which game version to open files with on windows:

You can change your preferences at any time by right-clicking on a beatmap:

osu! and osu!(lazer) appear in the "Open with" context menu:

You can also choose the default app for each file type from system settings:

Add native macOS image loading support (ppy/osu-framework#6475 by @frenzibyte)

Improves texture loading time by a magnitude on macOS.

Fix replays not correctly pre-importing beatmap when arriving from a cold start (#31508 by @peppy)

Until now, if you double-clicked a replay while lazer wasn't open, if the beatmap isn't already locally available it would just show a fail message rather than attempting to download the beatmap for you.

Platform (Mobile)

Implement system-provided file selection display on iOS (ppy/osu-framework#6445 by @frenzibyte)

Display popup disclaimer about game state and performance on mobile platforms (#31403 by @frenzibyte)

Smaller changes

• Enable "Game Mode" on iOS (#31363 by @hrfarmer)
• Disable dropdown searching on mobile when no hardware keyboard is attached (ppy/osu-framework#6479 by @frenzibyte)
• Fix mobile release dialog obstructed by the software keyboard (#31414 by @frenzibyte)
• Fix error when opening files on startup on Android (#31492 by @Susko3)

Reliability

• Ensure intro files exist in storage during startup (#31418 by @peppy)
• Fix initial skin state being stored wrong to skin editor undo history (#30060 by @peppy)

Skinning

• Add support for CursorTrailRotate skin command (#31519 by @EVAST9919)
  • Preview: https://streamable.com/1g3bh8

Song Select

Make the score background yellow for friends on the leaderboard (#31240 by @Plextora)

Changes to absolute scrolling at song select (#31535 by @peppy)

This is a bit of a catch-all fix up while implementing this in the new carousel.

• Users can now choose a custom binding instead of right mouse if you wish
• Removes the setting. This can now be disabled by unbinding the key. Note that this changes the default to have it as right mouse button. This is an intentional change – I believe this functionality should be on by default as it's beneficial to most users.

Smaller changes

• Add basic framework for carousel displays (aka BeatmapCarouselV2) (#31...

2025.101.0

Switch scroll direction for beat snap key bindings (#31277 by @kongehund)

Populate metadata from ID3 tags when changing beatmap audio track in editor (#31307 by @bdach)

Pause playback when entering gameplay test from editor (#31303 by @bdach)

Speed up metronome in timing screen when pressing control key (#31342 by @minetoblend)

Changes the speed at which the metronome swings & the tick sample plays to 2x (or 3x when beat divisor is in triples mode) the speed when control is pressed, matching stable behavior.

Smaller changes

• Take custom bank name length into account when collapsing sample point indicators (#31352 by @bdach)
• Fix quick-deleting unselected slider path control point also deleting all selected control points (#31348 by @bdach)
• Fix slider end drag marker blocking open of control point piece context menus (#31350 by @bdach)

Framework

Gameplay (osu!)

Change relax mod hit leniency to be the same as in stable (#31287 by @stanriders)

Settings

• Fix volume adjust key repeat not working as expected (#31282 by @peppy)
• Ignore whitespace while 2FA authentication (#31362 by @CuNO3)

New Contributors

• @CuNO3 made their first contribution in #31362

Save "featured artists" filter to user settings (#31238 by @frenzibyte)

Also sets it to always on for iOS in preparation for a larger scale release.

Smaller changes

• Update game structure with the returned iOS application delegates (#31152 by @frenzibyte)
• Fix hardware cursor showing on iPadOS when it shouldn't (#31226 by @frenzibyte)

Add ability to rename the current skin (#31220 by @normalid-awa)

In settings for now, very temporary.

Song Select

Implement ability to mark beatmap as played (#31138 by @bdach)

Would you believe it that this button that has been there for literal years never did anything? Also available via context menu.

Tournament

Hide !mp commands from tournament streaming chat (#31150 by @peppy)

Full Changelog: 2024.1219.2...2024.1224.1

2024.1219.2

Christmas!

Add Christmas festivities (ppy/osu-resources#350 by @peppy)

One Christmas at a time, we will make lazer the festive paradise it deserves to be.

Special thanks to nekodex for the new track and pishifat for helping make the beatmap that fuels the lighting system. Also to everyone else who gave feedback along the way.

Code Quality

• Update game packages (ppy/osu-server-spectator#250 by @bdach)
• Allow tsunyoku and stanriders to trigger diffcalc spreadsheet generator (#31071 by @smoogipoo)
• Fix potential issues with medal display (#30877 by @peppy)
  • Intends to address rare instances of medal display "soft-locking" the game.

• Update localisations (ppy/osu-resources#349 by @peppy)
• Fix BindableList methods crashing with non-IList collections (ppy/osu-framework#6466 by @smoogipoo)

Editor

Implement basic bookmark support in editor (#30960 by @bdach)

2024-12-03.15-21-03.mp4

Front-loaded as "basic" support because:

• Bookmarks only display on bottom timeline. I thought a bit about having them show on the top timeline too, but I'm not sure I can fit it in there and not make the timeline even more oversaturated with info than it already is.
• Hotkeys from stable work, with slight alterations:
• Ctrl-B to add a bookmark
• Ctrl-Shift-B to remove the closest bookmarks (all within 2s of current timestamp)
• Alt-← to seek to previous bookmark
• Alt-→ to seek to next bookmark
• The only exposed way to mutate the bookmarks from the UI that is not the hotkey is in the timing menu. That's different from stable where there are bookmark controls near the bottom timeline, but again, not sure how to make that happen without cluttering things further.

Allow choosing different background/audio files for individual difficulties (#30860 by @frenzibyte)

CleanShot.2024-11-27.at.05.36.41-converted.mp4

Smaller changes

• Preserve effect point specifications when creating blank difficulties (#30973 by @frenzibyte)
  • Fixes kiai time and scroll speed specifications being lost when creating a new difficulty. Scroll speed specifications are only retained when creating a new difficulty for the same ruleset as the original beatmap.
• Fix adjusting control point offset after undo/redo causing catastrophic failure (#31109 by @peppy)
• Change the way "current" points are hinted on timing screen (#31110 by @peppy)
  • | Before | After |
    | :---: | :---: |
    | | |

Gameplay

• Fix player settings overlay cog overlapping skin elements (#31106 by @peppy)
  • This brings it down to be in line with the flowing elements that usually do their best to not get in the way.

osu.2024-12-13.at.08.29.32.mp4

Gameplay (osu!)

• Use time-based resume overlay when playing osu! on touchscreen (#31156 by @frenzibyte)
  • The "click to resume" overlay does not work on touchscreen devices as the idea is to point with a pointer and press a key / mouse button to resume.

Gameplay (osu!catch)

Add convert to stream functionality for juice streams (#30763 by @Darius-Wattimena)

Gameplay (osu!taiko)

• Update recommended difficulty for osu!taiko (#31103 by @Joehuu)

Multiplayer

Improve multiplayer room status handling (#30838 by @smoogipoo)

Thanks to this change, you can now see whether players in a multiplayer room are currently playing a map or not on the listing.

2024-11-22.20-58-07.mp4

Add ability to filter out currently playing rooms (#31073 by @bdach)

2024-12-11.13-10-42.mp4

• Fix disabling hold-to-right-click not cancelling in-progress actions (ppy/osu-framework#6459 by @frenzibyte)
  • Affects mobile devices. Noticed in osu! gameplay, where if you press resume from the pause overlay, a right click is always triggered at the point where the button was clicked:

ScreenRecording_12-15-2024.11-14-24_1.mov

• Fix iOS app configuration missing certain specifications (#31162 by @frenzibyte)
  • Fixes some iOS submission guideline failures.

Results

Allow using "quick retry" shortcut in more cases from results screen (#31108 by @peppy)

Fixes "quick retry" hotkey not working for autoplay, but also allows using it for other replays when the replay is already guaranteed to be local (ie. on the second playback).

Skin Editor

Fix player settings overlay appearing while in skin editor (#31105 by @peppy)

Also stops the settings appearing if the mouse is too far away from the window.

Skinning

• Fix lookups of hit circle slider pieces potentially using wrong source skin (#31052 by @peppy)
  • Visible on some maps with partial beatmap skins included:

Audio

• Improve menu/context-menu sample playback (#30910 by @nekodex)
  • Updates menus to use new samples and fixes various cases where samples were previously not being played (e.g. when navigating menubars and submenus)

Editor

Fix placing objects via touch in editor not working sometimes (#30411 by @frenzibyte)

ScreenRecording_10-23-2024.16-55-59_1.MP4

Collapse sample point indicators into dots if they cannot be displayed in full (#29896 by @OliBomby)

Improve visual appearance of mania selection blueprints (#30512 by @bdach)

This isn't by all means supposed to be the end product, it's 80% of the target result in my mind in 20% of the time. Placement blueprints are all unchanged because attempting to access anything skinnable in the placement blueprint, before there is a DHO placed in an actual column, is hell. So I'm leaving that for later.

Fix osu!mania notes disappearing on seek to their end time (#30755 by @bdach)

Change some beatmap default settings to match stable (#30826 by @peppy)

• Countdown should be off by default
• Samples match playback rate also

Do not deselect objects when control-clicking without hitting anything (#30947 by @bdach)

I checked a few apps to see what they do in this type of scenario and it's a very mixed bag but I think this behaviour makes sense.

Gameplay

Increase idle time before gameplay loads when hovering controls (#30602 by @peppy)

Fix occasional flash when quick exiting / retrying from player (#30623 by @peppy)

Don't play fail animation if restarting on fail (#30862 by @frenzibyte)

Gameplay (osu!)

Implement new osu! mod "Bloom" (#30299 by @jhk2601)

This mod dynamically adjusts the cursor size as your combo increases, similar to how No Scope functions. The idea is for it to play as a sort of "reverse flashlight". I think it plays well and adds an interesting dynamic where your cursor essentially becomes an obstacle you have to work around sometimes, see attached video to get a better idea.

Add key binding for cycling grid type (#26303 by @OliBomby)

Using the tool boxes on the right frequently is quite annoying, so I also added a keybind for cycling the grid type (H). I chose this key because its right next to the grid spacing cycle hotkey (G) and unused. It makes sense to group the grid property changing hotkeys physically close on the keyboard. An alternative hotkey could be like Shift+G or Shift+G, Ctrl+G is taken.

There's also a test for the grid placement tool in here which apparently got left behind when I was splitting up this PR into parts. I guess it can't hurt to have it so here it is.

Fix drawing slider with touch inserts a random control point at beginning (#30263 by @frenzibyte)

Add toggles and hotkeys for configuring sample addition bank (#28863 by @OliBomby)

This PR adds a new left toolbox for configuring the sample addition bank of the selected hit objects. The toggles for the sample bank now only affect the hitnormal sample of the selection.

The hotkeys are Alt-Q~R. This differs from stable's Ctrl-Q~R because those hotkeys are already taken by other tools in lazer.
Using Alt-Shift-Q~R sets both sample bank and sample addition bank simultaneously, like previous functionality.
The same hotkeys are also added to the sample edit popover on the timeline.

Improve scale/rotate popover UX to better match user expectation (#30315 by @OliBomby)

Added keyboard step values to the slider bars which match the keyboard step in stable. This is especially nice to use with ppy/osu-framework#6390

Also made the popovers close when you press Enter (or Spacebar). This matches the behaviour in stable so now all the scale/rotate muscle memory should carry over nicely to lazer.

Add support for "auto" sample bank additions in the editor (#29648 by @OliBomby)

Keep sidebars expanded by default (#30387 by @peppy)

They will not only contract if the user chooses to have them contract (new setting in the View menu) or if the game isn't wide enough to allow full interaction with the playfield while they are expanded.

Fix effect point scroll speeds below 0.1x not being encoded properly (#30509 by @bdach)

Add ability to hide breaks from timeline (#30505 by @peppy)

This was another IRL request from a mapper / team member. The rationale here is that it can be very annoying to map with break time enabled if you have a large gap in the beatmap you are trying to fill with hitobjects, as you are placing objects on top of a very gray area:

Gameplay

Fix argon song progress bar tooltip showing during active gameplay (#30199 by @bdach)

Decrease the time it takes to quick retry by ~650 ms (#30261 by @peppy)

Removes an arbitrary delay from the quick retry process. Now it is only limited by load speed (which will improve in the future).

Remove hold-to-confirm delay when pausing using keyboard shortcuts (#30309 by @peppy)

This keeps coming up (latest case) so I think we need to listen to users and make this change. Matches stable behaviour.

Make quick restart even faster (#30603 by @peppy)

This is a second pass at refining the quick restart experience.

• More arbitrarily induced delays are culled
• Settings are hidden now (since interacting with them is nigh impossible given the faster restart speed)
• Some animations are hidden to make the process less jarring
• Parallax is disabled to stop the background displacing weirdly

Gameplay (osu!)

Fix slider ticks and repeats incorrectly moved to position of head when strict tracking and any conversion mod that moves objects is active (#30281 by @bdach)

Fix cursor rotating with barrel roll mod active (#30326 by @jhk2601)

Some may argue that cursor rotation is intended behavior but it looks odd and feels pretty janky, especially on abnormal cursors like the issue describes. Would be better if cursor rotation could be adjusted in existing switch stat...

Make editor flip, rotate, and scale tools revolve around the grid center (#26311 by @OliBomby)

Changes how the Ctrl+H and Ctrl+J flip mechanic works. It now takes into account the origin and rotation of the grid to flip around that axis. This makes it easy to map symmetric patterns which are off-angle or not around the center of the playfield.

Also the Ctrl+R rotation tool uses the grid origin as the center of the playfield.
The precision scale tool uses the grid origin as the center of the playfield and uses the grid rotation for axis constrained scaling (for scaling only along the X or Y axis)

Fix scaling sliders ignoring the scale origin (#29942 by @minetoblend)

Makes sure that when scaling sliders with the scale box, they are scaled relatively to the scale origin instead of the slider head.

Freeze select box buttons position on press (#29950 by @minetoblend)

Will freeze the position of the SelectBox buttons in place when one of the buttons was clicked until the clicked button is no longer hovered. This ensures that buttons can be pressed repeatedly without having to reposition the mouse on every click.

Especially when rotating the selection by 90 degrees, the buttons moving around on each press was a major pain point for me since I often wanna rotate by 180 degrees and just wanna double click the button for that.
