TrombLoader 2.2.1

TrombLoader 2.2.1 has just been released! 🥳

For charters

TrombLoader is stricter on accepting chart files again - it will no longer silently set required fields to null if they're missing from the tmb file. I've checked against the ~3.7k charts in my database and zero of them fail this validation, so this shouldn't break anything for users.

A note regarding 2.2.0+

There was a bug in Trombone Charter that was exporting charts with an invalid field in the tmb files. These charts loaded fine under 2.1.0, but in 2.2.0 they fail to load as TrombLoader expects this field to contain valid data. From a scan it looks like only 9 charts were affected by this; I've let the authors know and fixed versions should be out for all of them over the next few days.

v2.2.0

Fixes

• Fix shaders not being applied to various components on macOS

  • TrombLoader will now load these charts while printing a warning

This update changes the validation of JSON files somewhat. When developing charts please check your LogOutput.log for warnings!
