The changes include:
- Meowpad was recently updated and supports sound lists. Soundpad can now download such lists with one click.
- Added history of the last ten sounds, that have been played. See new menu entries Edit -> Select recently played file and Play -> Play recently played file. The list resets automatically upon restart of Soundpad.
- Added two special hotkeys, one to play the current file again and another one to play the previously played file.
- Added a context menu to the seek slider and to the track time, which allows you to select the currently played file and the category it is in. Double-clicking the time does the same.
- Added auto stop option, that is turned on by default. What it does, is explained in its tooltip in the preferences (File -> Preferences -> Hotkeys -> Advanced options).
- Updated remote control interface to version 1.1.0. It can deal with categories and some new functions. Remote control commands are now logged (Help -> Show Log).
- Added language confirmation.
- Added reset button to the preferences window, with which you can reset all your local preferences to defaults. The sound list or system wide changes on the recording devices remain unchanged. To reset system wide changes you need to uninstall Soundpad.
- Added launch parameter --clean, which resets all your local preferences.
- Numpad hotkeys now ignore the status of Num Lock.
- Numpad hotkeys aren't restrictive anymore and can be used with all modifiers.
- Left and right modifiers are handled separately allowing you to set Ctrl+1 and RCtrl+1 hotkeys. You can enable the old behavior in the hotkey preferences (File -> Preferences -> Hotkeys -> Advanced options).
- Added recovery of wrong modifier states, when the release of modifier keys is blocked by the system or by other applications, e.g. when pressing Win+L or Ctrl+Alt+Del or when using DisplayFusion and pressing Alt+Tab.
- Improved performance of hotkey recognition when a lot of hotkeys are configured.
- Fixed volume slider being attached to the wrong playback device in a particular configuration.
- Fixed special case in the installer when all microphone effects were disabled before installing Soundpad.
- Updated installer to install differently for certain ASUS headsets like the ROG or TUF on Windows 10 with ROG Armoury II.
- Double-clicking a special hotkey or auto key in the hotkey overview now jumps to the appropriate entry in the preferences.
- Added separate special hotkeys to start recording from speakers or to start recording from microphone.
- Added separate notification sounds when starting to record from speakers or microphone. The old shorter notification sound is still available and if you want to have it working as it was before this patch, you can choose the old recording.m4a notification sound at File -> Preferences -> Notifications for Start to record speakers and Start to record microphone.
- Playing random sounds from the menu now selects the sound file and the category it is in.
- Double-clicking the splitter between categories and sounds doesn't close the categories anymore.
- The hidden all sounds category can now be selected from the menu even if the categories panel is closed.
- Bring window to foreground when opened by double-click from tray icon. It could happen that it wasn't shown when other windows hid it behind themselves.
- Custom theme only: Removed small gaps between the minimize, maximize and close button. Clicking in these gaps was handled like a click on the title bar and allowed to move the window.
- Custom theme only: The maximize icon now changes when the window is maximized.
- Custom theme only: Fixed submenus staying open sometimes.
- Added option to configure whether typing automatically opens and starts a search (File -> Preferences -> Interface -> Misc -> Typing begins search).
- Restarting Win-Audio will now apply all device changes before the audio service is restarted. In previous versions you had to apply the changes first.
- The option to reduce other applications volume now also disables the appropriate option in Windows when it is being disabled in Soundpad.
- Added custom tooltip to the volume slider, which shouldn't flicker like the old one.
- Added save button to the troubleshooting window and a refresh option.
- Removed obsolete -t and --theme launch parameter entirely. You might see an error message if you still have -t 2 in your launch parameters.
- Different visual adjustments in all dialogs and windows for the upcoming support of right to left languages.
