• Improved documentation of registerGradient() usage in TypeScript projects (#37).

version 4.0.0-beta.0

Update changelog; bump version for beta release.

version 3.6.0

What's new:

Added:

• alphaBars effect, which is similar to lumiBars but preserves bars' amplitudes and also works on discrete frequencies mode and radial visualization;
• outlineBars effect, which extends the usage of lineWidth and fillAlpha to octave bands modes;
• isAlphaBars and isOutlineBars read-only properties.

Changed:

• showLeds and isLedDisplay have been deprecated in favor of ledBars and isLedBars, for consistent naming of effects.

Fixed:

• getEnergy() would not accept a fractionary initial frequency.

Improved:

• Regenerate the current gradient if/when it is re-registered (#21);
• The fluid demo now shows the status of read-only flags, for better visualization of interactions between different properties.

version 3.5.1

• Removed named tuples from the TS type definitions file, for improved compatibility (#20).

version 3.5.0

What's new:

Added:

• getBars() method, which provides real-time analyzer data;
• useCanvas property to disable rendering to the canvas - thanks @davay42 for suggesting this feature;
• A tool to view/debug the generated octave bands - see the /tools folder.

Improved:

• Fine-tuned generation of octave bands;
• Improved FFT data interpolation;
• Improved peak rendering when changing visualization modes;
• Added a simple piano keyboard to the test tones section of the "fluid" demo;
• Added search funcionality to the documentation website.

version 3.4.0

What's new:

Added:

• fsElement constructor option, for easily handling fullscreen on any element.

Fixed and improved:

• Fixed radial analyzer too wide in vertical containers;
• Fixed out of bounds bar in mode 0 (discrete frequencies) with mirror set to -1;
• Improved fullscreen rendering in portrait orientation displays;
• Improved font size adjustment for scale labels and FPS display on vertical containers.

version 3.3.0

What's new:

Added:

• New horizontal mirroring effect; see mirror property - thanks @lexterror for suggesting this feature.

Improvements:

• colorStops type definition updated for improved compatibility (see #17) - props to @Staijn1.

version 3.2.1

• Fixes an undefined property error.

version 3.2.0

What's new:

Added:

• getEnergy() method - see it in action on this pen - thanks @Staijn1 for suggesting this feature;
• setLedParams() method, which allows you to customize the look of the LEDs - you can try it in the fluid demo;
• connectSpeakers constructor option - thanks @evoyy for the suggestion;
• connectedTo read only property.

Improvements:

• When passing an AudioNode in the source property of constructor, it's no longer necessary to explicitly provide the audioCtx, as it will be inferred from the source node - thanks @evoyy for this idea;
• Disconnecting the output from the speakers no longer prevents the analyzer from working on Chromium-based browsers;
• Expose the GradientOptions TypeScript interface for user scripts (props to @Staijn1);
• Improved the look of the LEDs effect in very small containers (like in the multi-instance demo), especially when loRes is active;
• Refactored some code for improved legibility, performance and file size (still below 20kB minified! 😎);
• Added compatibility with standardized-audio-context library - thanks @richclingman for reporting this issue.

Changed:

• energy and peakEnergy properties have been deprecated and will be removed in the next major release - use getEnergy() and getEnergy('peak') instead;
• FPS display font size is now scaled relatively to the canvas height;
• pixelRatio is now correctly reported for HiDPI devices with screen height <= 1080px.
