AudioEnginePlus v2.0 Alpha — Changelog

v2.0 Alpha — Performance & Stability Overhaul

✨ New

• SessionSoundCache — new session-scoped sound cache with lifecycle management
• AsyncAudioWorkerManager — centralized async worker lifecycle manager
• LodBufferLibrary — full LOD buffer library with distance-based PCM generation
• NativeMemoryTracker — improved native memory tracking and ByteBuffer management
• StreamingBufferQueue — streaming audio buffer queue for continuous playback
• RayLodStrategy — integrated LOD-level selection in occlusion raycasting

⚡ Performance

• Thread-safety overhaul: all critical paths (dedup, cache, async, occlusion) now use proper locking and concurrent data structures
• Shutdown safety: graceful teardown with ordered subsystem shutdown sequence
• Native memory management: ByteBufferNativeAccess refactored for direct buffer allocation, zero-copy patterns, and proper deallocation
• Async audio worker: complete rewrite with AsyncAudioWorkerManager for better worker pool lifecycle
• Occlusion engine: OcclusionCache rewritten with world-tick-based reset, ChunkSnapshot for thread-safe chunk access, DdaRaycaster optimizations
• Sound deduplication: SoundDeduplicator refactored for O(1) lookup with eviction, SoundEventKey streamlined
• PCM buffer cache: improved caching strategy, async preloading enhancements, resource reload listener support
• Source pooling: SmartChannelAccess and SourceEvictionPolicy optimized for category-based priority eviction
• Sound Physics Remastered compat: improved conditional integration

🔧 Changes

• Removed: ChannelAccessMixin (Phase 1 mixin consolidated), PooledSoundHandle (replaced by pooled instance ref pattern)
• Updated: fabric.mod.json, AEPConfig validation, AudioEnginePlusClient entry point with CLIENT_STOPPING handler
• Config: AEPConfig sections aligned to phases 1–4 with proper clamping in validate()
