Regarding the just-released "<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">Qtractor 0.4.6 (funky deviless)": In case anybody wants it, I modified the SUSE RPM spec file from <a href="http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.4.6-4.rncbc.suse112.src.rpm">http://downloads.sourceforge.net/qtractor/qtractor-0.4.6-4.rncbc.suse112.src.rpm</a> Into a Fedora12 Spec file and built RPMs for x86_64 architecture (which is what i use).

Oh crap! Let's get it through once and for all.<br>

With huge compliments to all who got the nerve and report as many too<br>

<br>
Change-log:<br>
<br>
- Introducing a non-painting edit sub-mode on the MIDI clip editor's<br>
piano-roll (see Edit/Select Mode/Edit Draw menu).<br>
- The MIDI clip editor (aka piano-roll) is now a lot more quiet about<br>
saving its own dirty content, delegating all salvage questions to main<br>
session control.<br>
- Don't show session restart message box when changing JACK transport<br>
mode option anymore.<br>
- Dedicated MIDI control bus switching fixed. Was closing the wrong bus<br>
eventually and crashing the whole show with it (fixes bug #2989590).<br>
- MIDI bank/program backout has been corrected on MIDI track properties<br>
dialog rejection (ie. user cancellation).<br>
- MIDI bank select method has been corrected for tracks with no<br>
instrument defined (probably fixing bug #2987071).<br>
- LV2 UI Instance and Data Access extension support added; reduce LV2<br>
external UI parameter value update flickering.<br>
- JACK session infrastructure support. (EXPERIMENTAL)<br>
- Initial widget geometry and visibility persistence logic has been<br>
slightly revised as much to avoid crash failures due to wrong main<br>
widget hidden state.<br>
- Initial mixer widget extents are now set reasonably larger.<br>
- General source tree layout and build configuration change.<br>
- Ever since smooth-ramping introduction that having at least one<br>
input-only buses were causing immediate playback crashes, now hopefully<br>
fixed.<br>
- Refactored for common engine client nomenclature, primarily provided<br>
by JACK, then secondarily passed to ALSA Sequencer, getting rid of the<br>
JackUseExactName requirement and lifting the unique/single instance<br>
restriction in the process.<br>
- Current JACK Transport, MMC Device, and MIDI Song Position pointer<br>
(SPP) control modes are now saved/loaded as part of session option<br>
properties.<br>
- MIDI clip editor's context menu crash on Qt >= 4.6 has been fixed<br>
(resolving bug #2972603).<br>
- An ancient double-free corruption has been finally fixed at the<br>
audio/MIDI bus connection persistence logic.<br>
- Improved visibility of track state buttons text (R, M, S) when turned<br>
on dark colored themes.<br>
- LV2 Save/Restore extension support kicks off.<br>
- MIDI engine read-ahead period has been shortened to half than it was<br>
since inception--now it's a 500msec cycle.<br>
- MIDI clip editor event list gets its due inline editing, for time,<br>
note, value/velocity and duration columns, just one double-click away<br>
over the target cell ;)<br>
- Add-plugin selection dialog position and extent are now remembered<br>
across invocations and application sessions (tipping by Frank Neumann).<br>
- MIDI clip time-stretching is now made available through the same<br>
gestures as audio ones, by just shift+dragging either of the clip edges.<br>
- Drag-and-copying plug-in instances (cloning) is now fixed with regard<br>
to parameter value replication.<br>
- MIDI clip editor snap-per-beat setting is now independent from main<br>
multi-track view; File/Save As... dialog fixed; the current event<br>
selection is now kept floating as long as it's possible after editing<br>
command actions; finally, edit mode has been extended to free-hand event<br>
drawing, chalking off (piano roll) draw mode from the TODO list.<br>
- Swing-quantize has finally made its overdue debut as an additional<br>
MIDI clip editor tool (see Tools/Quantize...).<br>
- Almost since its inception, audio inserts were injecting garbage<br>
random noise when not being activated, now fixed.<br>
- Dedicated audio output ports for MIDI track plugins, now have their<br>
connection persistence back in business due on session load.<br>
<br>
Cheers && Enjoy (what else?)<br>
