New formats

• TAK (.tak) files play and are read into the library.
• Matroska and WebM audio (.mka, .mkv, .webm) play whatever audio they hold: FLAC, ALAC, AAC (including xHE-AAC), MP3, Vorbis, Opus, WavPack, TTA, Monkey's Audio and PCM. If a file has more than one audio stream, the library lists one track per stream and plays the one you pick.
• DSD in WavPack (.wv) plays as native DSD over DoP where the output takes it, and as PCM where it doesn't, like other DSD files.
• Cue sheets inside FLAC files become separate tracks in the library.

Formats Vespertine can't decode are now named

• Dolby AC-4 (for example the 2024 Atmos Music stereo masters in .mp4) used to show up as a lossless 16-bit 48 kHz "MP4" and fail with "The format … was not recognized." They are now listed as Dolby AC-4, lossy, with their real sample rate and channel count, and playing one says plainly that macOS has no decoder for it and Vespertine doesn't include one. Libraries that already have such files relabel them by themselves; the files are not touched.
• MPEG-H 3D Audio (also used by Sony 360 Reality Audio) is named the same way.
• MQA files (FLAC) carry an MQA label and play as the plain FLAC they contain, not unfolded. Auro-3D files are labelled and play as the ordinary surround PCM they contain.
• This release names Dolby AC-4 and MPEG-H files; it does not play them.

Fixed

• A DSF whose header total size is larger than the file is read. Some editors rewrite a DSF's tag without fixing the size in the header, and Vespertine then skipped the file as "not a valid DSD Stream file". It is now added to the library with its title, artist, album and DSD format. The file itself is never changed.
• Room Correction works with a microphone that only records at 48 kHz. "Measure the room" failed at the level check with "UMIK-1's input can't be set to Float32 at the test's rate" when the output ran at a higher rate (for example 176.4 kHz). The measurement now records at a rate the microphone offers, converts to Float32 itself, puts the microphone's rate back afterwards, and never changes the output's rate.
• Playing a song from a network share comes first. A library scan of the share no longer takes turns with the song you just played; scans wait while the song is loading and resume a few seconds after it is safe.
• The first-time Transitions note appears in the window you turned Transitions on in. Turning Transitions on in Settings used to show the note on the main window, which came to the front and made Settings seem to close.
• One moon. The Transitions note, the transport bar's Transitions button and the Up Next markers now use Vespertine's single moon instead of the two-crescent symbol. Transitions are still off by default.

Checked

• New tests cover silence trimmed at the ends of songs in Crossfade, Smart Mix and Live Set. Nothing in playback changed.

Not yet checked

• Dolby AC-4 and MPEG-H files are named but still can't be played.
• Room Correction with a microphone at its own rate was tested with simulated devices and a loopback output, not on a real UMIK-1 with an external DAC.
