[linux-audio-announce] ANNOUNCE: Rosegarden-4 0.8.5 released

The Rosegarden team have the pleasure of announcing the latest release of their MIDI and audio sequencer and score editor for Linux. The source code is available now from the project homepage: http://www.all-day-breakfast.com/rosegarden The availability of binary packages depends on their various maintainers; please check the project homepage for more information. New features since the 0.8 release include: o Improved MIDI file I/O: better support for banks and merging in import, better support for delay, transpose etc in export o MIDI device Bank and Program editor, including import and export of Studio data o MIDI Panic Button for clearing down stuck notes o Added some keyboard controls to matrix o Added real-time segment delays o Progress display completely overhauled o ALSA clients can be added dynamically (you can change your soft synth configuration while Rosegarden is running) o MIDI events filter dialog for MIDI THRU and MIDI record o MIDI/ALSA recording bug fixed (stopping after so many recorded events) o Many bug fixes, tweaks and performance improvements Unfortunately we've had to drop KDE2 support from this release onwards as it was getting too difficult to maintain both KDE2 and KDE3 in the same development tree. We're hoping this won't affect too many users in the long term. Finally, we would like to thank the cachegrind/kcachegrind team for a truly useful development tool. Chris
