0.8.4 2017-09-20 End of Summer'17 Beta 26 days ago

- Assigned MIDI Controllers to plug-in's Activate switch are now finally saved and (re)loaded properly across sessions.
- Audio clip panning option property is now being introduced.
- Out-of-process (aka. dummy) VST plug-in inventory scanning now restarts automatically and resumes processing in case of a premature exit/crash; VST plug-in inventory scan/cache persistency is now in place.
- Desktop entry specification file is now finally independent from build/configure template chains.
- Updated target path for freedesktop.org's AppStream metainfo file (formerly AppData).
- Changing the View/Options.../Display/Custom/Style theme takes effect immediately unless it's back to "(default)".
- Slightly slower but better approximation to IEEE 32bit floating point cubic root ie. cbrtf().

0.8.3 2017-06-30 Stickiest Tauon Beta 3 months ago

- Make sure any just recorded clip filename is not reused while over the same track and session. (CRITICAL)
- LV2 Plug-in worker/schedule interface ring-buffer sizes have been increased to 4KB.
- Fixed track-name auto-incremental numbering suffix when modifying any other track property.
- WSOLA vs. (lib)Rubberband time-stretching options are now individualized on a per audio clip basis.
- Long overdue, some brand new and fundamental icons revamp.
- Fixed a tempo-map node add/update/remove rescaling with regard to clip-lengths and automation/curve undo/redo.
- Fixed a potential Activate automation/curve index clash, or aliasing, for any plug-ins that change upstream their parameter count or index order, on sessions saved with the old plug-in versions and vice-versa.

0.8.2 2017-05-10 Stickier Tauon Beta 5 months ago

- Track-name uniqueness is now being enforced, by adding an auto-incremental number suffix whenever necessary.
- Attempt to raise an internal transient file-name registry to prevent automation/curve files to proliferate across several session load/save (re)cycles.
- Track-height resizing now meets immediate visual feedback.
- A brand new user preference global option is now available: View/Options.../Plugins/Editor/Select plug-in's editor (GUI) if more than one is available.
- More gradient eye-candy on main track-view and piano-roll canvases, now showing left and right edge fake-shadows.
- Fixed the time entry spin-boxes when changing time offset or length fields in BBT time format that goes across any tempo/time-signature change nodes.
- French (fr) translation update (by Olivier Humbert, thanks).

0.8.1 2017-02-17 Sticky Tauon Beta 7 months ago

- The View/Options.../Display/Dialogs/Use native dialogs option is now set initially off by default.
- All tempo and time-signature labels are now displayed with one decimal digit, as it was in mostly everywhere else but the time ruler/scale headers.
- JACK transport tempo and time-signature changes are now accepted, even though playback is not currently rolling; also, changing (JACK) Timebase master setting (cf.View/Options.../General/Transport/Timebase) will take effect immediately, not needing nor warning for session restart anymore.
- Track/Navigate/Next and Previous menu commands, finally fixed to wrap around the current track list.
- Current session (JACK) transport mode option switching is now being made accessible, from the main menu and drop-down toolbar buttons, as well as user configurable PC-keyboard and/or MIDI controller shortcuts (cf. Transport/Mode/None, Slave, Master, Full).
- Fixed some auto-backward play-head position flip-flopping, when opening a new session while the previous was still on rolling/playing state, hopefully.
- Added French man page (by Olivier Humbert, thanks).
- MIDI clip changes are now saved unconditionally whenever the editor (piano-roll) is closed or not currently visible.
- Audio clip peak/waveform files re-generation performance, scalability and resilience have been slightly improved.
- Some sanitary checks have been added to audio clip peak/waveform re-generation routine, as much to avoid empty, blank, zero or negative-width faulty renderings.
- Do not reset the Files tree-view widgets anymore, when leaving any drag-and-drop operation (annoyingly, all groups and sub-groups were being closed without appeal).
- Make builds reproducible byte for byte, by getting rid of the configure build date and time stamps.

0.8.0 2016-11-21 Snobbiest Graviton Beta. 10 months ago

- MIDI clip tools redo/undo processing refactored as much to avoid replication over multiple hash-linked clips; MIDI clip editor's floating selection/anchor event stability has been also improved, in regard to MIDI tools processing range.
- Auto-backward play-head location, when playback was last started, is now shown on main track-view, as a momentary dark-red vertical line marker.
- LV2 plugin-in parameter optimization: stuff consecutive series of plug-in's parameter value changes, as much as possible into one single undo/redo command.
- LV2_STATE__StateChanged is now recognized as a regular atom notification event and raising the current session dirty flag, as normal behavior.
- Adjusting clip selection edges is now possible and honored while on the the main track-view canvas.
- Audio peak file caching and rendering, as far as audio clip wave-forms are concerned, have been refactored and optimized a couple of notches higher, on the ephemeral and rather marginal throughput front ;).
- Fixed a potential crash on the singleton/unique application instance setup.
- Edit/Select Mode tool-buttons moved into single drop-down tool-button on the main and MIDI editor's tool-bar.
- Do not reset the current clip selection when updating the main track-view extents eg. while zooming in or out.
- Automation curve node editing auto-smoothing revisited; also fixed input MIDI RPN/NRPN running status processing, which was crippling some plug-in automation curve nodes, when saved in high-resolution 14-bit mode.
- Fixed the visual play-head position (vertical red line) while zooming in or out horizontally.
- Almost complete overhaul on the configure script command line options, wrt. installation directories specification, eg. --prefix, --bindir, --libdir, --datadir and --mandir.
- LV2 Plugin-in worker/schedule fix: make request/response ring-buffer writes in one go, hopefully atomic (suggested patch by Stefan Westerfeld, while on SpectMorph, thanks).

0.7.9 2016-09-21 Snobbier Graviton Beta 1 year ago

- JACK buffer-size change handling has been deeply improved, now doing an immediate session restart, while preserving all external connections as much as possible.
- Introducing an audio and MIDI metronome anticipatory offset, kind of latency compensation, to respective option settings cf. View/Options.../Audio, MIDI/Metronome/Offset (latency).
- Fixed LADSPA plug-in preset switching, incidentally broken as NOP, ever since late Haziest Photon's crash-landed.
- MIDI Track/Instrument cascading menus have been found empty broken on Qt5 builds, now fixed.
- MIDI RPN/NRPN running status and RPN NULL reset command are now supported (input only).
- Fixed a sure immediate crash on removing audio buses that are current targets of any active Aux-send inserts.
- Fixed yet another old bummer that was reaping off assigned MIDI controllers on existing track's gain/volume or panning controls, when adding any single new track.
- Fixed missing feedback on MIDI controllers assigned to any of monitor, record, mute and solo track/bus state buttons.
- Eye-candy warning: the current clip, not necessarily the one currently selected, is now highligthed with a solid outline; linked MIDI clips are also highlighted with an alternate dashed outline.
- SFZ file conversion, and bundling of the respective sample files, is now supported when saving as zip/archive (*.qtz).
- Fixed track monitor, record, mute and solo dangling states, on Track/Duplicate command.
- Slight regression on the LV2 State Files abstract/relative file-path mapping, trading QFileInfo::canonicalFilePath() for QFileInfo::absoluteFilePath(), and thus skipping all symlink dereferences in the process.
- Fixed a one first linking/ref-counting glitch, affecting recently recorded MIDI clips which might have their initial clip length still un-quantized to MIDI resolution (BBT).
- A brand new and discrete MIDI clip editor command tool has been added: MIDI Tools/Transpose/Reverse.
- Discretely fixed MIDI Controllers catch-up algorithm.
- Fixed a borderline mistake on plug-in parameter port index mapping to its corresponding symbolic name, especially if newer plug-in versions are loaded on older saved sessions.
