The 48 means we had 48 different versions of GridSound containing at least one new audio feature, it could be a new effect or simply a new oscillator's param for example. This number doesn't get reset.
The last number is for intermediate versions: fixing, optimisation or any non-audio changes.
The last number is reset after the 2nd one increases (the little fixes will not be listed here).
- 🌊 Synth: add the LFO pitch.
- 🩹 Fix: Synth's LFO gain square wave now goes fully between 0 and 1, before it was never really mute due to periodic wave normalization.
- 🎨 UI: Update the minimap loop appearance.
- 🌊 Synth: Fix the stereo panner. The native WebAudio stereoPannerNode doesn't act how it should in this context so we now use our own gswaStereoPanner everywhere.
