## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.4 — 2026-05-08

2.4

• Re-enables additive shader on game UI elements, along with a few other bug fixes.

For full release notes, please check GitHub/website.

### 2.3 — 2024-08-02

2.3

• TECHMANIA now collects a few basic statistics, available for viewing at the information screen.
• The result screen has been redesigned to include a performance graph.
• Added a jukebox mode, accessible from the filter side sheet in the select track screen. In this mode, TECHMANIA will auto play all tracks in the current folder in a random order, like a music player.

For full release notes, please check GitHub/website.

### 2.2 — 2024-06-27

2.2: Setlists

• Added setlist mode.
• The main menu has been redesigned.
• Replaced the tutorial BGAs with ones made by Stanford J. Calvin (Mirai Akari) from The Big 6 League.

For full release notes, please check GitHub/website.

### 2.1 — 2024-02-05

2.1 FMOD
TECHMANIA now uses FMOD as the audio engine, instead of Unity's built-in one.

• The boot screen now contains an attribution to FMOD as required.
• In the default theme, the select track screen now dynamically loads and unloads eyecatches as you scroll the track list. When a track scrolls into view, its eyecatch will load; as it scrolls out of view, its eyecatch will unload. This reduces memory usage, but you may momentarily see blank eyecatches if you scroll faster than the eyecatch can finish loading.
• Fixed multiple bugs.

For full release notes, please check GitHub/website.

### 2.0 — 2023-10-03

2.0 Themes
TECHMANIA now supports themes, allowing you to customize almost the entirety of TECHMANIA's UI.

• Most of the existing UI is migrated to the "default theme".
  ◦ The editor is not migrated at this moment, and will remain outside of themes for the foreseeable future.
• Added an option to change theme.
  ◦ A theme is a single ".tmtheme" file. Once you place a theme in the "Themes", it will show up in the theme list.
  ◦ Please note that each theme is specific to a platform, and specific to certain TECHMANIA versions. Please double check whether a theme is compatible with your platform and TECHMANIA version before downloading. The theme developer should provide these information when releasing their theme.
  ◦ Please also note that themes contain executable scripts, which may contain malicious code. We have made our best effort at locking down themes' access to the user's device and data, but we cannot make guarantees. Please exercise caution when choosing, downloading and using themes, the same way you would with downloading software from the internet.
• When TECHMANIA launches, it will now display a boot screen, where it loads skins, the track list, and the current theme. TECHMANIA will display the theme only after these resources are loaded.
  ◦ If using a non-default theme, on the boot screen you will have a chance to revert to the default theme. This is so that you can continue to change themes even if your chosen theme does not provide that option.
