LooperCat releases and changelog — what changed in every version

This page is the versions only: what each one added, fixed and changed, newest first. What the app itself does lives on the LooperCat page for the Boss RC-5.

Always grab the latest release: the app is still a beta, and what a new version fixes stays fixed.

  1. v0.9.3

    The slot editor, any WAV, and Windows

    • A Properties pane under the table: a twelve-character name, tempo with its bar count, Play Count-In, one-shot. The pedal's memory editor has started — settings arrive one at a time, as each is verified against real hardware.
    • Any WAV goes in: converted on the way to the format the pedal actually wants, so a 24-bit / 48 kHz bounce straight out of your DAW becomes a loop.
    • Windows: a portable exe in a zip, no installer, no admin rights.

  2. v0.9.2

    The first release shaped by letters from RC-5 owners

    • The write counter in the memory file's trailer was read as a byte instead of 32 bits: pedals with a long saving history hit a permanent "trailer is malformed", and rename, one-shot and tempo changes were refused. One root cause — and it is cured.
    • A freshly recorded or freshly pushed loop plays in the preview right away, with no "not indexed yet" wall.
    • A preview volume fader in the player — and it is remembered.

  3. v0.9.1

    Connecting got more stubborn

    • Connect survives a lost frame: a retry and an honest timeout instead of silence.
    • The pedal disconnects itself when you quit the app.
    • Every banner has one owner now: dismissed means dismissed, and they stopped stacking.

  4. v0.9.0

    The first public release

    • LooperCat left the workshop: the repository is open, the macOS DMG is in the releases.
    • Everything it came out with — slots, listening, editing, push/pull, backups — is verified against a real pedal.
