fosfora Releases

Fixes frame-rate dependent visual artifacts in multiple effects to ensure consistent appearance across different refresh rates.

Aug 25, 2026

Addresses persistent frame-rate inconsistencies in feedback backgrounds, particle trails, and diffusion blur for consistent visual behavior.

Aug 21, 2026

Improves audio analysis reliability by fixing drop detection timing and implementing actual section boundary detection using self-similarity.

Aug 20, 2026

Major overhaul of audio analysis features, rebranding from Phosphor to Fosfora, and adding headless analysis and loop export capabilities.

Aug 12, 2026

Introduces a new Overlay effect family and adds real transparency support for output sinks like NDI, Spout, and Syphon.

Aug 1, 2026

Adds cross-platform output support for Linux (V4L2 virtual camera) and macOS/Windows (Spout/Syphon), and fixes streaming stability issues.

Jul 31, 2026

Overhauls the binding matrix interface and templates to improve usability and correctness when managing audio-to-effect bindings.

Jul 29, 2026

Adds the Reliquary effect for light manipulation and allows movable point lights inside 3D models.

Jul 29, 2026

Enables 3D models as particle sources, allowing rasterization, morphing, and pegboard effects on `.glb`, `.gltf`, `.ply`, or `.splat` files.

Jul 28, 2026

Introduces two new image-based effects (Pegboard and Etch) and adds the ability to change media sources for existing particle effects via the panel.

Jul 28, 2026

This release fixes critical shader compilation issues involving built-in uniform blocks and resolves a bug where failed effect loads would freeze the layer. It also improves the Vessel particle spawning logic and corrects water flow mechanics for the Tide effect.

Jul 28, 2026

Addresses a visual freezing issue caused by window clicks by introducing a new grain generation cadence, preventing static artifacts. The update also improves the stability of the application's rendering loop.

Jul 28, 2026

Introduces Helix, the 45th effect, which visualizes the last eight seconds of audio history as a twisting ribbon. The effect allows for deep customization of radius, thickness, twist, and camera depth.

Jul 28, 2026

Enhances OSC reliability by adding beat counting addresses and fixes a bug where band pan sources were not functioning. The update ensures external lighting rigs capture a higher percentage of audio events.

Jul 27, 2026

Adds three new blend modes—Displace, Refract, and Lens—that warp underlying layers instead of tinting them. These modes allow shapes to bend everything underneath, creating shockwave effects.

Jul 27, 2026

Addresses a wide range of bugs including particle spawning logic, pitch-to-color mapping, camera orbit speed, and rendering artifacts. This patch ensures visual consistency across multiple effects.

Jul 27, 2026

Introduces a new fluid simulation toggle for obstacles, allowing water to flow realistically around silhouettes with bow waves and eddies. This adds significant depth to the obstacle interaction mechanics.

Jul 27, 2026

Enables 3D model obstacles for collision effects and adds a live trail length control for particles. This allows for more complex interactions with meshes and greater flexibility in particle visualization.

Jul 26, 2026

Adds two major new effects: Lumen, featuring real-time global illumination, and Protea, a Lenia-based ecosystem simulation. These effects introduce complex, musical interactions with lighting and biological dynamics.

Jul 26, 2026

Modifies particle trails to act as long-exposure light streaks and exposes the particle velocity field to custom effects. This allows for more sophisticated visualizations of particle motion and flow.
