[linux-audio-announce] [ANN] Qsynth 0.2.4 released!

Hi all, Let me spread the word:) finally there comes this bug and some other usability fixes on today's latest Qsynth 0.2.4 release. As you might know already, Qsynth is a fluidsynth GUI front-end application, written in C++ around the Qt3 toolkit, using Qt Designer. Please check it out from: http://qsynth.sourceforge.net Upgrade is highly recommended as this one fixes a very annoying crash bug that has been lurking for ages. As simply pasted from the change-log: - All widget captions changed to include proper application title prefix. - Attempt to bring those aging autoconf templates to date; sample SPEC file for RPM build is now being included and generated at configure time. - Missing icons on channel and soundfont setup context menus are now up; bank/program splitter widget added to channel preset dialog. - An abrupt segfault on engine restart have been finally fixed; this issue has been quite an annoyance which has been around for ages and was a highly probable showstopper just when restarting an engine due to changes on the setup settings. Not anymore, hopefully. - New tool buttons were added to the main widget, for adding a new engine and removing the current one, while trying to increase the visibility of multiple fluidsynth engine capability (for new users, at least :) - Set to use QApplication::setMainWidget() instead of registering the traditional lastWindowClosed() signal to quit() /slot, just to let the -geometry command line argument have some optional effect on X11. - Minor configure and Makefile install fixes, as Debian and Mac OS X specialties. Also, install does the right thing with target file modes (thanks to Matt Flax and Ebrahim Mayat, for pointing these out). - Fixed output disability when messages limit option is turned off (thanks to Wolfgang Woehl for spotting this one, while on qjackctl). Hope you enjoy. -- rncbc aka Rui Nuno Capela rncbc(a)rncbc.org
