Thanks, glad you're excited! 🎶 Word-by-word animated lyrics are landing in v1.8.0, which I'm targeting for around the end of next week (no hard promise, I'd rather ship it right). I'll post here the moment it's out! 🙌

Can I please know when the update will be released please

Hey, thanks for checking in — and sorry for the wait. 🙏

Honest answer : I gave you an estimate a couple of weeks ago and I missed it. My PC had a problem and I couldn’t work on WaveFlow at all during that time, so progress basically stopped.

The good news is that the part you were waiting for is done word-by-word animated lyrics are merged and ready, just waiting for the release.

What’s still holding 1.8.0 back is some bug fixing in the audio engine, mainly a few playback glitches on certain setups. It’s not the kind of thing I want to ship half-finished, so I’d rather take the extra time and get it right.

Realistically, I’m aiming for around two weeks. I’m deliberately not promising an exact date this time, the last estimate didn’t survive contact with reality, and I’d rather hand you something solid than rush it out.

I’ll post right here the moment it’s out. Thanks for your patience! 🎶

Damn, every time I see the progress you've made, I think: "This is someone who really cares about his project and works on it with passion." Keep up the great work! By the way, I have a feeling an update is coming very soon. Am I right? 😄

Thank you so much, I really appreciate that! ❤️ It means a lot to see people this excited about the project.

And yeah… your feeling might be right 😄

I’m hoping to have the 1.8.0 beta available sometime this week. Most of the big pieces are already in place, and I’m currently working through the remaining fixes and polishing things up.

I don’t want to promise an exact day just in case a last-minute blocker shows up, but if everything keeps going smoothly, you shouldn’t have to wait much longer 👀🎶
