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"

Hi,
a story to continue. I'll release a second block of video tutorials
about LV2 plugin programming from the scratch. For everybody who wants
to make his/her own plugins. This time about graphical user interfaces.
I'll show you:
* the LV2 way to go, with turtle and C/C++,
* toolkits and the pitfalls,
* some of the toolkits we can use, and
* finally how to make UIs for the plugins we made before.
Every Friday, for the next some 10 weeks. Starting with this
announcement video: https://youtu.be/7mCLDBBXajU
See you on Friday
Sven
On behalf of the entire Rivendell development team, I'm pleased to announce the availability of the third release candidate for the next major version of Rivendell, v4.0.0rc2. 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.
