Hi all,
As you may or may not have noticed,
linuxaudio.org was rebooted today 15:06 UTC.
The server now features shiny (faster) new virtual HDDs (with backups
and everything..). Sponsored by the Virginia Tech Department of Music
and DISIS.
Cheer a loud "Hip Hip,..." to Ico, who made it possible in the first
place and send Kudos to Brian Maloney from the vt.edu tech dept for
outstanding excellent GNU/Linux support!
All systems go.

Hi *,
linuxaudio.org will be offline for scheduled server maintenance on
Tue, 10 Jan 2012 14:00 UTC
for about 2-3 hours.
All online services will be unavailable during that time.
If all goes well (new disks, fsck, kernel-update,..) the actual downtime
will be much shorter..
thanks for bearing with us,
robin

Dear all,
I've just uploaded a new release of Yoshimi to SourceForge. This is
basically a maintenance release as Yoshimi fails to build with the
latest version of FLTK (1.3). Thanks to Frank Kober for pointing this
out and for providing a patch. I've also applied the Legato pedal patch
from Kristian Amlie. This patch is so simple and clean, you wonder why
it wasn't implemented earlier. Thanks Kristian!

And a happy New Year!

Change-log:
- Fixed initial LV2 plugin UI widget/window titles.
- Attempt to get any brand new LV2 plugins Qt4 enabled UI's working on
either slv2 and lilv build modes ;) (nailed by falkTX, thanks).
- Current clip is ultimately inferred from the one under the play-head
position and current selected track; the last one clicked over and/or
selected still has precedence (following request by Loiugi Verona).
- Drag-moving clips horizontally with the keyboard arrow-keys just got a
step better with a fixed minimum of one pixel, depending still on the
current snap-per-beat setting and horizontal zoom level (as suggested by
Louigi Verona, thanks).
- Get maximum and minimum peak values back when drawing audio
waveforms.- Automation play/feedback has been missed to show on those
plugins that provide their own GUI, now on par with all the rest
'homebrew' widgets (eg. generic plugin properties dialog).
- All plugin parameters automation and selection were left inaccessible
until the generic native plugin dialog is eventually shown, now fixed
(re. bug #3463916).
Enjoy && Happy New Year!
