Dear friends,
October 16th, I'll release the new version of Frescobaldi. There are some
changes to the translatable strings, and a few new strings; so if you
can find some time, please update the translations for your languages.
This release also marks an important point in Frescobaldi development:
that multiple developers now have contributed significant functionality.
Although Cognot's kinetic scrolling in the Music View has been there
already for some time, now we see musicxml import, much better Scheme
highlighting, a nice modal transpose function and many improvements for
the Mac OS X version.
It has been my goal from the start that I couldn't be the only one that
writes code for Frescobaldi. But to get other developers on board, the
code should be readable and easy to understand. And Frescobaldi itself
should be compelling enough to invest time in researching the code and
writing new functions.
I'm happy and also a bit proud now that people have found their way in
the codebase, the parsers, the menu structure, the way actions are
defined and assigned to methods in modules etc.
The github platform works well, with its issue tracking and pull-request
interface.
I do have some time for adding code, coordinating some stuff and keeping
Frescobaldi in a healthy state. I hope we can continue Frescobaldi's
development onto its way as a powerful LilyPond editor. Thanks to all
contributors!
