A project to modernize the 5.0.x/5.1 codebase to improve its performance and provide enhanced support for modern hardware and operating systems. We are also adding new features, including those being requested by our community, as well as refurbishing its support of non-dance/4-key game types, adding new game types, and so forth.

Project OutFox builds upon the existing 5.0.12/5.1 beta codebase, and maintaining backwards compatibility with older content is one of our main priorities (in fact, this is one of the reasons why the internal version number is 5.3 rather than skipping to a higher number like 6.0). Content that worked on 5.0.12/5.1 (including songs, themes, and noteskins) should still work on OutFox. If you experience any issues/weirdness, please report it to us.

5.2 was originally intended to be the next version of StepMania. However, it included a number of major changes that broke compatibility with previous versions, and were not well-received by the community and other developers.

-5.2 was originally meant to be 5.1. However, in response to the reception, it was officially delayed in favour of a new 5.1 that was largely an update to 5.0.12 that did not break compatibility with existing content. This was done under the presumption that the new version (subsequently renamed 5.2) would eventually be completed. However, this did not end up happening.

Simply Love does work on 5.3 and since version 5.0, official support has been introduced. With versions 4.8 and 4.9, a compatibility warning is shown by the theme if an unsupported version of StepMania is detected. On 4.8, you can press the Escape button twice to bypass the compatibility warning, but 4.9 blocks this workaround.

If you prefer utilizing those versions over 5.0, the check can be removed by opening Scripts/SL-SupportHelpers.lua in the theme, and changing the line
