Release v0.5.0 - Major Improvements · MaddyGuthridge/Universal-Controller-Script

✨NEW✨

Transport controls can now be colorful on supported controllers.
A simple plugin has been added for the channel rack, allowing for omni preview of channels using drum pads.
A HintMsg control surface was added which can be used to display hint messages on device screens.
A control surface for control switching within a plugin was added, which will allow for more advanced plugins in the future.
A control surface for pausing the activity updater was added, which will allow users to lock their active plugin meaning they can change windows without breaking their automation links.
The entire project is flake8 compliant, which involved fixing over 1400 code style errors.
The system for event forwarding was improved further and should be significantly more reliable.
The script now has a system for deinitialising, meaning it can shut down cleanly.

Split transport plugin into transport and macros plugins to improve maintainability
The project's pipelines have been improved to allow for more quality assurance when working with the project
Custom exception types were introduced to help improve the reliability of the program's exception handling
Novation Launchkey Mk2 Controllers now use InControl mode by default, which will improve reliability.

Forwarded events should now work on MacOS too! They work on Linux at least, which appears to handle devices in a similar way.
Lighting will update correctly when switching between plugins

A fleshed out step sequencer component for the channel rack
A system for allowing users to assign controls easily without breaking the script
More unit testing of core components
Improved systems for allowing layers of transparency to make lighting even fancier
