Hi everybody,
We are happy to announce patch release version 1.2.5 of Hydrogen!
This patch release introduces Qt6 support, deprecates LASH support, and
fixes a
number of bugs and inconsistencies found since version 1.2.4 and is
generally
recommended for all users.
### Added
- CLI options `--log-colors` and `--no-log-colors` to enable and disable
ANSI
colors in log messages.
- CMake option `-DWANT_QT6` to build Hydrogen using Qt6 instead of Qt5.
- CLI option `--user-data` for both `hydrogen` and `h2cli` to provide an
alternative user-level data folder.
### Changed
- The shortcut for starting/pausing transport can now be used while focusing
spin boxes (like the BPM one) too (#2098).
- Combo boxes do not accept focus (and preventing shortcuts) anymore.
- LASH support has been deprecated and will be removed in version 2.0 of
Hydrogen (#1649).
- Allow to select and copy version in About dialog (#2127).
- Number of parallel build jobs in `build.sh` is now set dynamically to
number
of virtual processors (#2128).
- `Changelog` was renamed `CHANGELOG.md` and converted from GNU-style
changelog
to markdown similar to https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/.
- Hydrogen no longer uses XSD files to validate XML files during loading
or via
`h2cli --check` but uses direct XML inspection instead.
- Minimal `CMake` version was bumped to `3.5`.
- Option `-qt5` was introduced to native Windows build script
`windows/Build-WinNative.ps1` to build against Qt5 instead of Qt6
(default).
- `build.sh` script compiles against Qt6 per default.
### Fixed
- Fix compilation with LASH support enabled (#2076).
- Fix Hue slider in Preferences > Appearance > Color (#2081).
- Show the Crash Reporter and exit with return code `1` on unhandled
exceptions.
- Fix crashes in SampleEditor (#2092).
- Fix track names in multi track export. When using just the file
extension, the
raw instrument names will be used (#2096).
- Fix import bug for drumkits created in version >= 2.0.
- Fix memory leakage for songs created in version >= 2.0.
- Fix memory leakage for notes with probability < 1.0.
- Fix incoming MIDI NOTE OFF handling.
- AppImage build folder is now removed on `build.sh r` (#2129).
- Fix potential crash with JACK audio driver on startup, teardown, or
song/drumkit loading.
- Fix freeze in native file dialogs on Linux (#2165).
### Removed
- `Qt XmlPatterns` is no longer a dependency.
- Folder `linux/debian` containing outdated Debian package rules used by the
previous development team to distributed Hydrogen as `.deb` package.
- Option `-32bit` was dropped in native Windows build script
`windows/Build-WinNative.ps1`.
