v0.3.1-gamma

v0.3.1-gamma

Dashboard: shared fixture selection store, Color panel, StagePlan wiring.
48/40 grid + 6 workflow presets (layout v2).
Sequences panel: NowPlayingCard + AffectsOverlay.

Also includes 0.3.1-beta content: SetMicEffectBypass per-effect mic DSP
bypass CueAction.

AppImage build verified locally in orb-appimage-builder Docker image
before tagging. See Changes.md for the full changelog.

v0.3.1-beta

v0.3.1-beta

Per-effect mic DSP bypass via SetMicEffectBypass.

A new CueAction variant lets cues flip a single DSP effect on a mic's
chain on or off without bypassing the entire chain. Use case: bypass
the head-mic compressor for non-vocal performance cues while keeping
HPF / gate / de-esser / EQ / gain engaged.

Sticky state — pair every bypass=true with a matching bypass=false on
the cue that should re-engage the effect.

Runtime only; setup.py wiring lives in show projects.

v0.3.1-alpha

Release v0.3.1-alpha

Added: project-level dmx.toml universe → device mapping.

See Changes.md for details. Highlights:
- <project>/dmx.toml encodes which DMX adapter drives which universe
- 'serial:<USB_SERIAL>' resolves to a stable /dev/serial/by-id path
- Two-pass resolution prevents auto-detect from stealing explicit bindings
- --print-dmx-resolution CLI flag for verifying wiring
- Workspace 0.3.0-rc2 -> 0.3.1-alpha

v0.3.0

v0.3.0 — First stable release: light, sound, and microphone 🎉

The first stable Orb release. After 14 phases, a full Python-to-Rust port,
and a long road of release candidates (beta → delta → rc2 through rc10),
the show control system is ready for real work.

What works end-to-end in this release:

🎭 Light
  • Clean ECS core with priority layers (HTP dimmer/strobe, LTP color)
  • Sequence / Cue / Programmer / Executor model
  • Fade engine with easing, auto-advance (timed + song-position + song-end)
  • Fixture profiles (TOML) with typed channel mapping
  • DMX output: ENTTEC Pro serial, Art-Net, sACN/E1.31, BitWizard
  • 40 Hz frame loop: tick → resolve → render → send

🔊 Sound
  • Multi-deck music playback with per-deck fade-in/fade-out cues
  • Providers: local files, librespot (Spotify Connect), Spotify Web API
    search, WiiM stub
  • Per-source OS-mixed audio output with automatic device rebind
  • audio.toml schema v2, canonical 48 kHz internal sample rate
  • Crossfade, level control, transport (play/pause/stop/goto) from REPL,
    REST, MIDI, and motorized faders

🎤 Microphone
  • Multi-mic capture via cpal, named device matching, per-channel split
  • MultiMicMixer routed into the unified MultiLayerSoundDeviceSink
  • DSP graph: noise gate, compressor, limiter, filters
  • Per-channel volume actions and mute dispatch from cues

🎛 Control surfaces
  • Icon P1-M motorized faders with touch-gated bidirectional sync,
    per-strip buttons, V-Pot encoder, and per-executor speed modifier
  • Intech EN16 / PBF4 with hot-plug and a virtual MIDI control surface
  • Flic 2 buttons via vendored flicd (lazy-started)
  • BLE-MIDI, MIDI CC + Note dispatch, song-position events

🐍 Embedded Python
  • orb-daemon hosts CPython 3.13 via PyO3, no IPC
  • IPython REPL with GrandMA3-style command preprocessor
  • SmartLists, project API, fixture importer (OFL + GrandMA3 XML)

🌐 Web
  • actix-web REST + WebSocket
  • Svelte 5 dashboard auto-built and embedded into the daemon binary
  • Auto-open browser, --app mode for a standalone window
  • Playwright e2e suite (opt-in via ORB_TEST_UI=1)

📊 Tests
  • 1821 Rust tests + 363 Python tests = 2184 passing
  • Hardware-gated suites for DMX, Flic, P1-M, and real audio I/O

Used in production for light, sound, and microphone control.
On to v0.4.

v0.3.0-rc10

v0.3.0-rc10

- fix(web): AppImage/on-disk dashboard now serves consistently; embedded and
  on-disk dist no longer mix (blank-page fix); embed can't go stale/empty.
- feat(daemon): --app desktop app-window mode (Chromium --app), default for
  GUI launches, off in a terminal / on headless boxes.
- feat(daemon): primary binary renamed to 'orb' (orb-daemon alias retained).

v0.3.0-rc9

orb-daemon v0.3.0-rc9

fix(web): serve embedded dashboard at / inside the AppImage (handle_root
fell back to JSON when no on-disk frontend/dashboard/dist existed).

v0.3.0-rc8

v0.3.0-rc8 — Raspberry Pi (homy) deploy + aarch64 release asset

Same as rc7 plus:
- ci(release): aarch64 Raspberry Pi bundle (orb-daemon-aarch64.tar.gz) is now
  a first-class GitLab Release asset (release_appimage needs build_aarch64)
- chore(projects): homy audio.toml migrated to schema v2

Release assets: x86_64 AppImage + aarch64 Pi bundle (binary + libpython3.13 +
stdlib + dashboard), each with SHA256.

v0.3.0-rc7

v0.3.0-rc7 — Raspberry Pi (homy) deploy + aarch64 CI build

- fix(midi): dispatch CC mappings via the World-resource registry, so
  PyO3/REPL-registered CC bindings (incl. Grid fader -> executor blend)
  actually dispatch on the daemon (+ regression tests)
- feat(projects): homy project; rightmost Intech Grid fader (CC 39) ->
  warm_white executor blend; headless systemd unit (dashboard control surface)
- ci(aarch64): Docker cross-build for Raspberry Pi as a GitLab pipeline job
  (orb-daemon-aarch64.tar.gz: binary + libpython3.13 + matching stdlib + dist)
- chore(deploy): pin flake-cross.nix to flake.lock revs

v0.3.0-rc6

orb 0.3.0-rc6

Fixes the AppImage 'Dashboard not built' bug: the dashboard is now reliably
embedded (prebuild + ORB_SKIP_FRONTEND_BUILD; build fails loudly if the embed
is empty). Includes rc5's GUI/browser/last-project fixes.

v0.3.0-rc5

orb 0.3.0-rc5

AppImage desktop launch fixes:
- GUI double-click runs headless + opens the dashboard in the browser
  (no longer exits immediately on missing terminal).
- xdg-open no longer inherits the AppImage's LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
- Reopens the last-loaded project on launch.

Also: CI test_python/test_rust green, mkdocs --strict fixed.

v0.3.0-rc4

v0.3.0-rc3

Audio Pipeline
Flicd fixes

v0.3.0-rc2

0.3.0-rc2 — rehearsal scrub (nudge)

v0.3.0-delta

Release 0.3.0-delta

DSP audio routing graph editor — major feature release.

UI:
- New 'Audio Routing' panel in dashboard
- Rete.js v2 + Svelte 4 node-graph editor
- 14 DSP effects + draggable palette
- Live param inspector + per-node level meters
- WebSocket-driven live updates with origin echo suppression
- Bus creation flow

Backend:
- audio.toml schema v1 (replaces mic_config.toml; auto-migrates on boot)
- Per-bus DSP chains via BusEffectChainRegistry (zero-alloc hot path)
- Multi-deck MusicManager (4 decks, ≤1 librespot)
- Deck-aware OnSongEnd / FireAtSongPosition cue triggers
- Music routing through RoutingMatrix
- 13 REST mutation endpoints + 5 new Audio* WS Event variants
- All 10 fixture projects boot from audio.toml
- Perf bench: full workload at 236µs (under 1% of 25ms frame budget)
