LMMS 0.4.x is in a pretty good shape now and I want to release 0.4.7 as soon as
possible. But before, I'd like to give you a final chance to do some final
testing (there's been too much changes...). I therefore prepared 3 files:
I'll test the version linked to ASAP but prior to doing so have a
couple of mentions. You said in a subsequent email:
"Another helpful thing would be reorganizing/improving the user interface
(either structural (somehow get away from the current MDI concept which makes
one have dozens of small windows open - especially for effects there could be a
container holding concentrating all effect control windows) or by e.g.
polishing the style and fix UI glitches). New/better/improved artwork also is
always welcome."
I agree that the current MDI/child windowing needs to go. It's a big productivity holdback, especially if you have multiple monitors. A possibly easy initial fix would be to free the child windows from their parent, so no single window is constrained within another. Having separate windows would hopefully allow them to be resized, snapped or exposed using Metacity/Compiz/whatever's standard window manipulation methods.
Also multiple windows for different tracks should be allowed simultaneously, such as having more than one DNB editor and piano roll.
My second mention (or I guess third) is a bug I can't find in the tracker. After a track has been played and stopped using the SF2 instrument, if you mute then unmute the track multiple notes sound at full velocity, scaring the crap out of you. The notes continue to sustain until you start playing the track again and one of those notes are played. The only way I know of to otherwise stop the notes is to close LMMS and reopen it. I've noticed the bug in the 0.4.6 release and a recent dev snapshot.
