Updated to alpha.19. Unless there's a significant backlash over something, this is likely to be the final alpha release.

Hi, it seems the <<cacheaudio>> macro... does nothing? Using SimpleAudio.tracks.add() works fine however.

🤦🏻 Yes. Apparently, I got a little carried away when pruning some legacy code and pruned the functionality right out of the macro.

Fixed (6e7294e) in the repo.

Thanks for the catch. ❤️

It's never absolutely safe to update to alpha/beta software. That said, the beta—released today—should be pretty safe, yeah.

Updated to beta.3. The is the final push.

There's only one major change since last release and that's to the Save API.

It's received Base64 versions of the .export() and .import() APIs, so Save.base64.export() and Save.base64.import().
The disk-based APIs have been rehomed from Save.browser to Save.disk, so Save.disk.export() and Save.disk.import().

And we've received a new Array API: <Array>.toShuffled().
