Dear friends,
chuck-1.5.0.1 (chai) has been released:
https://chuck.stanford.edu/https://chuck.cs.princeton.edu/
This is a patch release following the major chuck-1.5 release:
---
* fixed HID joystick input on Windows
* fixed a potential-crash-on-shutdown type system issue
* fixed binary FileIO reading of signed/unsigned integers
* improved: Math.random*() functions now internally use a standard
Mersenne Twister random number generator (mt19937); this greatly
improves the quality of RNG output, especially on Windows
* added support for 24-bit, 32-bit, and 64-bit WvOut audio file output
* miniAudicle (Windows and Linux) now has a "Audio driver" drop-down
selection in the Preferences dialog window; this selections allows for
run-time selection of different drivers: "DirectSound", "WASAPI", or
"ASIO" on Windows; "Jack", "Pulse", or "ALSA" on Linux
* (Linux) fixed miniAudicle compilation with Qt6
