πŸš€ Release v1.1.0: The Multi-Layer Update

Welcome to Audio Visualizer v1.1.0! This massive architectural update unlocks entirely new ways to mix and match visuals.

✨ What's New

  • Multi-Layer Compositor: You are no longer restricted to just one spiral! The new Layer Manager allows you to stack, remove, and independently control multiple visualizer plugins on a single canvas.
  • Fractal Visualizer: Dive deep into the Mandelbrot and Julia sets! We've added our first new visualizer plugin. It comes with its own dedicated UI controls, coloring palettes, and audio-reactive properties.
  • Per-Layer Properties: Controls like Spin Speed and Rotation are now specific to each layer, allowing one layer to spin clockwise while the layer beneath it spins organically and counter-clockwise!
  • Smart Layout UI:
    • The controls panel dynamically swaps its parameter sliders based on which layer you currently have selected.
    • The UI now features a Screensaver Mode - it smoothly fades out after 4 seconds of inactivity so you can enjoy the visuals distraction-free.
    • We added a helpful '?' Info Modal to explain the controls to new users.
  • Audio-Reactive Polish: Line Widths and Scales now react more naturally to microphone input.

πŸ› οΈ Under the Hood

  • Plugin Architecture: The entire WebGL engine was modularized. Visualizers like spiral.js and fractal.js are now distinct plugins following a standardized appState contract.
  • GPU Optimizations: Fixed critical WebGL state leakage issues and moved geometry caching entirely to the GPU, guaranteeing a buttery-smooth 60fps even with multiple reactive layers.

Enjoy the updated visuals!
