On behalf of the Rivendell development team, I'm pleased to announce the
immediate release of Rivendell v0.9.76. 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:
New/Extended RMLs -- A new 'Toggle On Air Flag' [TA] RML has been
added that toggles the 'On Air Mode' of RDAirPlay. A new argument
added to the 'Start Next' [PN] RML allows log meta-events to be
automatically skipped (useful primarily when integrating with mixer
surfaces in Manual or LiveAssist modes).
Log Refreshing -- It is now possible to 'refresh' a log while
playing out, thus preserving the view of what has already been
played in the Full Log widget while still loading updated log
elements. Such refreshing can be done either manually or
configured on either a log-by-log or service-by-service basis to
happen automatically whenever log updates are saved to the database.
New AsPlayed Reports -- A 'Technical Report' has been added that
captures extended playout information from RDAirPlay (such as the
cause of an event start). A 'SoundExchange Statutory License
Report' has also been added that can be used to generate data in a
format suitable for direct submission of music playout data to
SoundExchange.
Printable Reports -- It's now possible to generate ASCII-formatted
and printable reports about virtually every aspect of Rivendell
operation, including Cart/Cut lists, Logs, RDCatch events and
more, by touching the 'Reports' button in the respective Rivendell
modules. The choice of external viewer/editor used can be set by
means of the VISUAL environmental variable (default is 'vi' on
Linux, 'Notepad' on Win32).
Log Data Importer Changes -- The parser parameters for 'Length' in
RDADmin->ManageServices has been split into sections to allow
specification by hours, minutes and seconds as well as the previously
supported plain seconds.
Audio Auditioning -- It's now possible to audition audio directly
from the Edit Log dialog in RDLogEdit and the Edit Event dialog in
RDLogManager. No attempt is made evaluate rotation logic when
auditioning -- merely the first valid audio found in the selected
cart is played.
Cart Validity Indication (EXPERIMENTAL) -- The color-coding of
Carts and Cuts in RDLibrary has been altered so as to show the
event's 'playability' *at the instant the event is viewed*. The
yellow 'conditional' indication has been retired.
Many Bugfixes -- See the ChangeLog for details.
Library Versions:
This version requires that, at a minimum, libradio-0.97.4 and
librhpi-0.94.7 be installed. If installing from RPM, the version of
the currently installed libraries can be determined by doing:
rpm -q libradio
rpm -q librhpi
Database Update:
This version of Rivendell uses database schema version 126, 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.

CALL FOR PROJECTS - performances, installations and lectures
Make Art is an international festival dedicated to the integration
of free/libre and open source software in electronic arts.
The second edition of Make Art will take place in Poitiers (FR),
from the 2nd to the 8th of April 2007.
Make Art offers performances, exhibitions, lectures and workshops,
focused on the blurred line between art and software programming.
The event is dedicated to artists who create their own tools, and
apply the same rules to art as to free software development.
We're currently seeking new, innovative FLOSS based works and
projects: performances, lectures, software presentations,
installations...
Our focus is on works that involve innovative tools for artists,
artificial intelligence/life, open hardware myths and realities
and human machine interaction.
Please copy/paste the application form (http://makeart.goto10.org)
in your favorite email client, fill it and send it to us with
attached documents at:
makeart2007 -at- goto10 -dot- org
DEADLINE : Saturday 9th of December 2006
After my search for a realtime waveform viewer a while ago didn't quite
yield the result I was looking for, I decided to write one myself.
So here's the first release of jack_oscrolloscope (thanks Dave Robillard
for inventing the name):
http://das.nasophon.de/jack_oscrolloscope/
I hope someone finds this useful. Feedback is appreciated, please let me
know if you encounter any problems.
Cheers,

This is a simple applet for controlling the LASH Audio Session Handler.
When you run it it will appear as a small LASH icon in your
"notification area" or "system tray" (if your desktop manager is
compatible with freedesktop.org's "System tray" standard,
http://www.freedesktop.org/Standards/systemtray-spec). This is typically
somewhere in the panel in KDE or GNOME. There is also a front end for
the WindowMaker dock (or compatible window managers).
Changes since 0.2.0:
* A DockApp front end (thanks to Nedko Arnaudov)
* A "Recent" submenu for restoring recently saved sessions
* A "Connect" submenu for connecting and disconnecting JACK ports
* Doubleclicking session directories in the file selection dialog
restores the session instead of going into the directory
* The message window is removed

Snd-ls v0.9.7.7
===============
Snd-ls is a distribution of Bill Schottstaedt's sound editor SND.
Its target is people that don't know scheme very well, and don't want
to spend too much time configuring Snd. It can also serve
as a quick introduction to Snd and how it can be set up.
Changes 0.9.7.7 -> 0.9.7.12:
----------------------------
-Fixed listener.
-Removed various debug printing.
-added --without-builtin-gtkrc configuration option.
-Downgraded Snd from 8.4/26.9 back to 8.4/12.9 again. That upgrade was a
mindless mistake.
-Copied all files from my private snd three into snd-ls. Hopefully, this
should make everything work again.
-Added fix to make jackdmp work with standard installation of guile.
-Don't quit snd-ls in case file can't be opened during startup. Bug
reported by Dragan Noveski.
-Disable FAM for now, because it fails for no reason during startup.
Problem reported by Dragan Noveski.

jack_capture v0.3.9
===================
jack_capture is a program for recording soundfiles with jack. Its default
operation is to capture whatever sound is going out to your speakers into
a file. This is the program I always wanted to have for jack, but no
one made. So here it is.
Changes 0.3.8 -> 0.3.9:
-----------------------
*Changed the -rt option name to -d, to be compatible with jackrec.
*Do not stop recording in case of disk errors.
*Replaced deprecated libsndfile functions.
*Added the --format/-f option. ("jack_capture -f flac", nice :-) )
(adding "-f w64" solves the 4GB limitation of wav files)
It appears that I've failed to include one project in my announcement:
Bristol
Synth emulation package for a diverse range of vintage synthesizers and
organ
https://sourceforge.net/projects/bristol/
So, this in effect brings the member count to fifty three (not that anyone
is counting)... The website will be updated to reflect this shortly.
My sincere apologies to Nick Copeland for omitting his project from the
list. If for some reason I've forgotten to include anyone else's project,
for which I do apologize in advance, please send me an e-mail.
Again, my apologies for this error.
