On behalf of the entire Rivendell development team, I'm pleased to
announce the availability of Rivendell v2.9.0. Rivendell is a
full-featured radio automation system targeted for use in professional
broadcast environments. It is available under the GNU General Public
License.
From the NEWS file:
*** snip snip ***
Changes:
Cart Notes Display. 'Cart Notes' information can now be displayed in
the 'Edit Events' dialog in RDAirPlay.
RDLogManger Command Line Enhancements. A '-P' switch has been added
to prevent existing logs from being overwritten by batched jobs.
Report Enhancements. Added a 'Classical Music' as-played report,
as well as the ability to filter all reports on the basis of daypart
range.
New Scheduler Code Support. Added an '--add-scheduler-code=' switch
to rdimport(1) and the ability to specify a set of scheduler codes to
be added to new carts on a per-dropbox basis in
RDAdmin->ManageHosts->Dropboxes.
RDLibrary Cart Status Highlighting. Carts whose dayparting indicates
a start time in the future are now highlighted in cyan rather than red.
New RML. An 'Append Log' ['AL'] RML has been added.
Full Disc Ripper Enhancements. The Full Disc Ripper ('Rip Disk' in
RDLibrary) has undergone a major overhaul, now allowing for
multi-track rips to a single cut and streamlined assignments of
selected tracks to new carts.
Various bug fixes. See the ChangeLog for details.
Database Update:
This version of Rivendell uses database schema version 239, and will
automatically upgrade any earlier versions. To see the current
schema version prior to upgrade, see RDAdmin->SystemInfo.
As always, be sure to run RDAdmin immediately after upgrading to
allow any necessary changes to the database schema to be applied.

Aqualung is an advanced music player for GNU/Linux (also running on other
UNIX-alikes). It plays audio CDs, internet radio streams and podcasts as
well as regular soundfiles in just about any audio format and has the
feature of inserting absolutely no gaps between adjacent tracks.
Aqualung R-1300 has been released today as 1.0-rc1, as the first milestone
in an anticipated (short) series of release candidates leading to the final
1.0 release of Aqualung. With this release, we celebrate 10 years of
Aqualung!
This release contains changes from the last 2 years and 4 months -- and, as
you may imagine, has been long long overdue. It would not have been
possible to make it to this point without the work of core devs Jamie
Heilman, Jeremy Evans and Peter Szilagyi, as well as numerous contributors
who sent us patches, bugreports, translations and encouragement. I would
like to take this opportunity to thank all of you.
A condensed selection of changes that went into this release is available
in the ChangeLog, directly accessible at:
http://aqualung.factorial.hu/ChangeLog
The release tarball is available from SourceForge mirrors:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/aqualung/files/aqualung/1.0-rc1/
For further info please visit the Aqualung homepage:

Enjoy,

Tarball on sourceforge.
There are a number of small tweaks under the bonnet, mostly to aid compilation.
There are new drum sounds from Dario Straulino, and an alternative SVG desktop
icon from Andrew Ter-Grigoryan (sorry it too so long).
The most significant (although quite small) change is in settings - the option
to enable a part when doing a MIDI program change.
This means you can start up a 'bare' yoshimi, and, provided your banks are well
organised, load whatever patches to whatever part you like, from any bank
entirely from a sequencer, or suitably capable hardware synth/controller.
Bank changes are always silent, and program changes are if you only change a
part that is not actually sounding at that time.

With great pleasure I am pleased to announce DISIS spring event of 2014.
As part of the ICAT Day, VT Institute for Creativity, Arts and Technology
(ICAT) and School of Performing Arts' Digital Interactive Sound and
Intermedia Studio (DISIS) presents its Spring Showcase, a part of the
"Digital iD" performance series featuring an evening of multisensory
performances that fit no preexisting form or template. The event will
feature the Kandinsky Trio and guest artist Chris McCormick, Virginia Tech
faculty artists Ivica Ico Bukvic, Lee Heuermann, Eric Lyon, and Charles
Nichols, Virginia Tech's Linux Laptop Orchestra (L2Ork), and students
engaged in the DISIS and Cinema curricula. Also on the concert is a
performance of Terry Riley's "In C," played telematically between musicians
at Virginia Tech and Stanford University. Using JackTrip software, the two
schools will stream audio across the continent, allowing the distributed
musicians to perform together in real time. "Digital iD" offers an
exploration of synergies among music, technology, arts, gesture,
collaboration, interactivity, and ultimately community. The event is free
and open to the public.

We're very proud to announce the immediate availability of DrumGizmo
version 0.9.5!
This release features a completely overhauled drum kit editor and the
complete implementation of floating velocity groups with new drum
kits. Keep in mind that no kits using the new format exist at the time
of release. Loading a current kit will use the old fixed velocity
groups as usual. We will create new versions of our kits as quickly as
possible.
The most prominent features included in this release are:
- Multichannel support implemented and enabled
- Complete drum kit editor overhaul
- Now uses floating velocity groups
- Autodetection of hits is now realtime and completely redesigned
- Play through detected samples in sequence at the push of a button
- New volume fader
- Plus the usual pile of bug fixes and optimizations
Download it from http://www.drumgizmo.org
Visit us at the official irc channel at the Freenode network. Channel
name is #DrumGizmo. We would love to hear from you.
