On behalf of the entire Rivendell development team, I'm pleased to announce the availability of the fourth release candidate for the next major version of Rivendell, v4.0.0rc3. Rivendell is a full-featured radio automation system targeted for use in professional broadcast environments. It is available under the GNU General Public License version 2. From the 'NEWS' file: *** snip snip *** Changes: Major Changes Between v3.x and v4.x: Qt Toolkit. Rivendell v4.x uses and is fully compatibile with major version 5 of Qt (Qt5). See the INSTALL documents for specifics. Date/Time Customizability. Date/Time presentation formats can now be customized on the basis of site preferences. MySQL Compatibility. Rivendell v4.x aims for full compatibility with MySQL 8.0 and earlier versions in their default installation configurations. RDAirPlay. The rdairplay(1) module has been completely overhauled, and now supports dynamic resizeability as well as a revamped level metering system. RDPanel. The rdpanel(1) module now supports dynamic resizing. RDLogManager. It is now possible to disable grid processing on a service-by-service basis, thus permitting a complete schedule to be generated by an external music scheduler. See the 'Bypassing Grid Processing' section in the 'Generating Logs and Reports with RDLogManager' section of the Operation Guide for details. Many bug and regression fixes. See the 'ChangeLog' for details. Database Update: This version of Rivendell uses database schema version 367, and will automatically upgrade any earlier versions. To see the current schema version prior to upgrade, see RDAdmin->SystemInfo. Be sure to run 'rddbmgr --modify' (as root) immediately after upgrading to allow any necessary changes to the database schema to be applied. *** snip snip *** Details and source code are available at https://github.com/ElvishArtisan/rivendell/releases <https://github.com/ElvishArtisan/rivendell/releases>. Additionally, online installers for deploying Rivendell v4.x are available for the following Linux distributions: 1) Ubuntu 22.04 “Jammy Jellyfish”: https://software.paravelsystems.com/howtos/ubuntu/jammy/ <https://software.paravelsystems.com/howtos/ubuntu/jammy/> 2) RHEL/CentOS 7: https://software.paravelsystems.com/howtos/CentOS/7rd4/ <https://software.paravelsystems.com/howtos/CentOS/7rd4/> 3) RHEL/Rocky 8: https://software.paravelsystems.com/howtos/rhel/8rd4/ <https://software.paravelsystems.com/howtos/rhel/8rd4/> If you encounter a bug or problem, please consider opening an issue report for it at: https://github.com/ElvishArtisan/rivendell/issues <https://github.com/ElvishArtisan/rivendell/issues>.

[LAA] QMidiArp 0.6.7 release

by Frank Kober

Hi all, Shortly after 0.6.6 this release corrects some issues found in the meantime mainly thanks to lv2lint and the old jack_interposer.so in the last 0.6.6 version. It also introduces a cmake build environment with the hope of making packaging easier. Enjoy Frank qmidiarp-0.6.7 (2023-04-11) New Features o Package: a cmake build environment is now available with the goal of less pain with libtool. Fixed Bugs: o fixed two small non-realtime function calls that had sneaked in last year. o fixed several lv2lint FAILS: lv2:resize extension was removed, lv2ui:qt5ui is no longer exposed, globally visible library symbols were hidden. lv2lint still reports being unable to instantiate the uis, but all tested hosts were able to do it.

[LAA] Qmidiarp 0.6.6 released

by Frank Kober

Hi all, A highly overdue release of various improvements and bugfixes cumulated over the last five (!) years is finally out. The main changes are in the Global store that got some handy attributes added to the storage locations, i.e. you can now set a number of repetitions counter. You can also click on a spot within the location buttons to interrupt the automatic progression across locations temporarily. This may improve its usability a bit. Regarding LV2, there is now a X11 UI descriptor provided (thanks to Rui rncbc for a model how to do this in synthv1), but note that the qmidiarp plugins *UIs* are still not self-contained and link to the Qt5 libraries that were used for building, as long as nobody (including me) feels ready to rewrite a library-independent LV2UI for them. They were checked working nicely with qtractor, ardour 6, reaper, carla, jalv and bespoke synth locally, but be warned. The plugin dsps are, however, independent of Qt. Thanks go to Matthew McGuire for adding a phase setting to the calculated LFO waveforms and to all of you reporting bugs and suggesting features. qmidiarp-0.6.6 (2023-04-08) New Features o LFO: New control for phase of calculated waveforms (Matthew McGuire) o Global Store: Each storage location now has a "number of repetitions" property accessible through the context menu. o Global Store: Each storage location now has a "Go here and stay" storage sub-button to force remaining at that location. o ALSA MIDI: Sending MIDI Clock to a specified ALSA port is now available as a new preferences option Improvements o LFO and SEQ: More size and resolution values including odd values Although there is compatibility check in place for saved sessions, this may lead to wrong values for saved LV2 states if someone uses this at all. Long sequences only make sense for lower resolution. Drawing would not be possible with high resolutions and lengths. o SEQ: Improved display of loop marker o SEQ: Increased lower octave transpose range o Global Store: Preferences option to choose whether to store mute states o LV2: a X11 plugin UI interface is now available Fixed Bugs: o Regression: Arp strayed in notes with zero velocity o LV2: restored compatibility with suil > 0.10.2 o Crash when session managers tried to save/restore empty session o Regression with application of compact widget style o Regression when reading files with time module index -1 o Output port count could not be changed on commandline Changes: o Jack-Session support has been removed due to "official deprecation" Download https://sourceforge.net/projects/qmidiarp/files/qmidiarp/0.6.6/qmidiarp-0.6… Github https://github.com/emuse/qmidiarp Website https://qmidiarp.sourceforge.net/
