On behalf of the entire Rivendell development team, I'm pleased to announce the availability of Rivendell v2.18.1. 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:
Fixed a bug that caused creation and initialization of a new Rivendell
database to fail.
Database Update:
This version of Rivendell uses database schema version 272, 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.

From the NEWS file:
Changes:
Documentation Overhaul. The Rivendell Operations Guide has been
expanded and incorporated as part of the base Rivendell source
in 'docs/opsguide'. Most of text notes previously located in 'docs/'
added as appendices. Remaining unconverted text notes can now be found
in 'docs/misc/'.
Group Cut Expiration Policy. Added the ability to set a default
End Date/Time for new cuts on a per-group basis. See the
'Set End Date/Time' control in RDAdmin->ManageGroups.
Host Short Name. Added a 'Short Name' parameter to Host profiles.
Macro Carts. It is now possible to use filepath wildcards in macro carts.
New Host Wildcards. Added the following new host wildcards:
%r - Rivendell Host Name
%R - Host Short Name
Provisioning Support. Added the following directives to the [Provisioning]
section of rd.conf(5) to facilitate automatic provisioning of hosts:
NewHostShortNameRegex=<regex>
NewHostShortNameGroup=<num>
NewServiceNameRegex=<regex>
NewServiceNameGroup=<num>
MySQL Configuration. Added the following parameters to the [mySQL]
section of rd.conf(5) to force use of a specified engine type, charset
and collation:
Engine=<engine-type> [DEFAULT: MyISAM]
Charset=<charset> [DEFAULT: latin1]
Collation=<collation> [DEFAULT: latin1_swedish_ci]
Dropbox Enhancements. Added the ability to specify creation of default
Segue Markers when processing files via dropbox. See
RDAdmin->ManageHosts->Dropbox.
RDImport/DropBox Enhancements. Added the ability to specify start
and end datetimes via metadata pattern.
RDCatch Event Filtering. Added the ability to filter by event type in
RDCatch.
Log Searching. A search filter (similar to that employed for seaching
for carts) has been added to the List Logs dialogs.
Service Filtering in RDLogEdit. Added the ability to limit the visible
set of logs in RDLogEdit by user. Configured in RDAdmin->ManageUsers.
Log Purge/Deletion Changes. Logs created manually (in rdlogedit(1) or
rdairplay(1)) are now assigned a default purge/deletion date in accordance
with the setting in RDAdmin->ManageServices.
Log Importation Changes. Changed music and traffic importation so that
parent link events are still visible in linked logs.
Web API Changes. Added 'FILTER' and 'RECENT' call parameters to the
'ListLogs' Web API call. See the API documentation in
'docs/apis/web_api.pdf' for details.
Various other bug fixes. See the ChangeLog for details.
Database Update:
This version of Rivendell uses database schema version 272, 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.

Dear all,
here is QMidiArp 0.6.5. Another year has passed, and qmidiarp again only
slightly changes, improves, adapts itself. A few more factory patterns were
added to the Arpeggiator, a new "As Played" repeat mode has sneaked in, and
for making things easier the MIDI OMNI mode is now default when modules are
added.
QMidiArp also builds against Qt5 by default now (it's about time ;) ), no more
--enable-qt5 needed at configure stage.
Enjoy!
Frank

Here is the full changelog:
qmidiarp-0.6.5 (2017-12-17)
*Improvements*
o MIDI OMNI Mode receiving on all MIDI channels is now available and
even default for all modules.
o Arp: Some more 'factory' patterns added to the LV2 presets and to
the .qmidiarprc file. Latter requires deleting the original one in
the home directory and launching the standalone application.
o Arp: New pattern repeat mode "As Played" for following the played
note order instead of reorganizing them up, down or random.
o Arp: For deliberately clearing buffered incoming notes the modules
now all react to ALL_NOTES_OFF and ALL_SOUND_OFF MIDI messages.
o LV2: The DSP ("generic") parameter interface has gotten some
improvements for better usability (thanks Holger Wirtz for input on
this)
*Fixed Bugs*
o LV2: Latch mode was not working properly when using release function.
o LV2 Arp: when running with host transport sync, transport start
caused received notes to be cleared. This also cleared those notes
received before the transport was starting and led to missed notes
especially in qtractor. This should work better now. (Thanks to
Webmadman for reporting, and to Rui).
o Seq and LFO: the "Note Off" option had no effect (regression).
o Recent Files menu in main app displayed extra characters with Qt5.
*General changes*
o Building against Qt5 is now default. No more --enable-qt5 needed.
o LV2: Category set to MIDIPlugin instead of Instrument
o The DSP classes including the LV2 DSP modules no longer use
Qt libraries. However the LV2 and App GUIs do.
o New build configure options for more flexibility
--enable-alsa (default=yes) set no for building on systems without alsa
--enable-buildapp (default=yes) set no for building only LV2 modules
--enable-lv2-pluginuis (default=yes) set no for LV2 module dsps only

*Description*
QMidiArp is a MIDI arpeggiator, phrase generator and controller LFO for ALSA
and JACK. It can run multiple synchronized arpeggiators, LFOs and step
sequencers. The modules are also available as LV2 plugins with Qt user
interface.

Without much pomp and circumstance, I'd like to notify you of the immediate
availability of rkr-lv2 beta 2.
Requested in behalf of packagers everywhere, this is just to officially
release the many bugfixes that have been applied and contributed since beta
1. Unfortunately there is probably as many (or more) still lurking so this
is still very much beta software. No progress in the midi front, though
this does add the noise gate plugin (which was contributed). Many thanks to
all who contributed bug reports, code, or even just appreciation.
Unfortunately this project has a lot of competition for my time and
attention and so it has not progressed as much as I wish it had (none of my
projects have been getting much). It was decided that since no new
maintainer of standalone rakarrack has stepped up, some major refactoring
is in order and eventually a rkrv2 will be created which will offer the
same effects but with some API breaking streamlining in the codebase. It
will likely be some time before I embark on that endeavor. I expect rkr-lv2
in its current API preserved form will still exist, but it may always be a
buggy quirky collection. Collaborators/Contributors/Take over the project
people welcome.
enjoy!
