====== ROSEGARDEN 15.08, codename "Nostalgia" RELEASED ====== The Rosegarden team is proud to announce the release of version 15.08 of Rosegarden, an audio and MIDI sequencer and musical notation editor for Linux.
http://www.rosegardenmusic.com/ The steady stream of work from Ted Felix has served as the backbone of Rosegarden development all year. He has done an immeasurable amount of cleaning, simplifying, stabilizing, and organizing work to make the codebase cleaner, leaner, and more reliable in use. Michael and Yves have done a bit of work here and there, and recently there has been a succession of patches from Tito Latini attempting to address some old, tricky, and annoying bugs. ===== Notes ===== * The code for the Instrument Parameters panel for MIDI instruments (MIDIInstrumentParameterPanel) has been simplified and cleaned up. Many small bugs were fixed along the way. * Do not allow saving over a read-only file. (Bug #1430, r13839) * A change to the field order in exported csound files. (Steve Conrad, r13862) * Stop sending reset all controllers messages (121) at playback. (r13867) * Change to knob (rotary) behavior. Center-click now centers while right-click sets to default. (r13889) * Added center-click and right-click behavior to faders to match knobs. (r13890) * Receive external checkbox on the MIDI Instrument Panel is now always available to allow selecting banks and programs even when no proper device file is available. (r13899) * Changes to the Studio in the Manage MIDI Devices dialog are now immediately reflected on the MIDI Instrument Parameters panel. (r13904) * MIDI volume and all other controllers in the device file can now be adjusted via the "external controller" port. (r13905) * Channels other than 10 can now be set for percussion. (Tito Latini, r13908) * Fixed a build issue where jack couldn't be found in newer versions of Debian. (Debian #773329, r13910 and r13911) * Fixed a crash where resizing the window could cause an endless loop. (Tito Latini, r13919) * Fixed a bug where the last track would get cut off when there was no horizontal scrollbar. (r13923) * Fixed a bug where the Track Buttons wouldn't get updated properly, leaving garbage on the screen. (r13940) * Fixed a bug where the notation interpreter would shorten tied-forward notes (r13943) * Fixed autoscroll margin bug * Fixed scrollbar single step behavior * Segment canvas auto-scroll behavior is now patterned after a combination of Chromium, the GIMP, and Audacity. Auto-scroll only occurs if the mouse is dragged outside of the viewport. In the vertical direction, the scroll rate is fixed. In the horizontal direction, the scroll rate is variable based on how far the mouse is outside the viewport * MIDI Import: Default channel mode to fixed * CompositionModelImpl::isCachedRectCurrent() in particular has been broken apart for analysis. Watch for problems with segment rect drawing on the canvas * Probably fixed a few memory leaks * Fix disappearing notation preview bug * Bug fix from Tito Latini fixes stupid obvious typo that has been around since the dawn of time, and maybe #1439 too * Try to improve maintainability and to remove possible bugs by replacing the redundant value notationWidget::m_linearMode with NotationWidget::linearMode() which looks directly at NotationScene::m_pageMode where the original value is kept * Fix the bug #1438 (Crash while pressing "Continuous Page Layout" in Notation Editor) using a method derived from the patch proposed by Tito Latini * Fix #1379 by using two macro commands, one to remove and one to insert. Patch from Tito Latini * Fix for #1437 from Tito Latini. Considered both tied forward AND tied backward when interpreting notation (r14084) ===== New Features ===== * Previously, when in variations mode, the user would have to navigate back to the base (0th) variation in the Variation combobox before the other base variation programs would appear in the Program combobox. Now, the Program combobox always shows all of the base variation programs, allowing the user to jump directly to any of them. http://sourceforge.net/p/rosegarden/code/13838/ =====Other people who contributed to Rosegarden development:===== * Tito Latini =====People who contributed device files to the Rosegarden Library===== * Ted Felix (Kawai CA95/CS10, r13854) * Martin Brentnall (Yamaha MOXF, r13862, 2/3/2015) -- D.
