What's new

Hotdog Deck — rebuilt from scratch

The compact-window hot dog skin is now a photorealistic inline SVG, not a CSS-art assembly. Hand-placed sesame seeds, turbulence-noise bun crumb, glossy sausage with char-darkened tips, and a real squeeze-bottle mustard zigzag. Every control lives inside the bun — frosted titlebar in the top-bun valley, olive-slice visualizer screen on the sausage, mustard-yellow play chip on the bottom bun. No rectangle frame anywhere.

The mustard squeeze IS the progress bar — its filled length is clipped to currentTime / duration via SVG <clipPath>.

Two new visualizers

• Tempo Pulse — beat-locked ring bursts from the origin. Real spectral-flux onset detection (debounced 110ms), bass scales burst size, treble jitters the spawn point.
• Lattice Strobe — 2026 club-style grid. Palette flips on beat, scan-line strobe sweep on every kick, lattice scales with bass.

The shared audio-feature analyzer now runs in every canvas mode (not just the WebGL shader path), so Galaxy and Pulse pick up actual beats instead of smoothed RMS.

Auto hardware tier

detectPerformanceTier() reads WebGL renderer string + hardwareConcurrency + deviceMemory to pick balanced/low for first-run users. Conservative fallback keeps headless contexts on balanced unless they're genuinely weak.

UI affordance

• New .pxbtn.is-primary modifier — accent halo, larger hit area, for "obvious primary action" buttons. Transport play button now wears it.
• All .pxbtn buttons gain a :focus-visible outline for keyboard nav.
• Proper aria-labels + keyboard shortcut hints on transport controls.

Install

• NewAmp Setup 1.3.0.exe — NSIS installer, registers file associations for 16 audio formats + 4 playlist formats
• NewAmp Portable 1.3.0.exe — single-file portable, no install, no registry writes

SHA256 hashes for all artifacts are in SHA256SUMS.txt.

Windows SmartScreen may warn on first launch because NewAmp ships without a $200/yr code-signing certificate. Click "More info" → "Run anyway", or verify against the checksum file before launching.
