-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hello there! This might come as an end to a long cycle indeed, really approaching a final and last milestone, whatever... But one thing is for sure: besides the prodigal but (pun, somewhat, not intended:)), this wraps up the so called Qstuff* Fall'16 release business deal [7][8]. Qtractor 0.8.0 (snobbiest graviton) is out! And the release highlights are: * Auto-backward location marker (NEW) * Clip selection edge adjustment (NEW) * Improved audio clip zoom-in resolution (NEW) * Clip selection resilience (FIX) * MIDI (N)RPN running status (FIX) And the band plays on... Maybe you can further decrypt the fresh juice from the change-log below -- or rather never mind though and go for the grabs already ;). Qtractor [1] is an audio/MIDI multi-track sequencer application written in C++ with the Qt framework [2]. Target platform is Linux, where the Jack Audio Connection Kit (JACK [3]) for audio and the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA [4]) for MIDI are the main infrastructures to evolve as a fairly-featured Linux desktop audio workstation GUI, specially dedicated to the personal home-studio.

Change-log: - - MIDI clip tools redo/undo processing refactored as much to avoid replication over multiple hash-linked clips; MIDI clip editor's floating selection/anchor event stability has been also improved, in regard to MIDI tools processing range. - - Auto-backward play-head location, when playback was last started, is now shown on main track-view, as a momentary dark-red vertical line marker. - - LV2 plugin-in parameter optimization: stuff consecutive series of plug-in's parameter value changes, as much as possible into one single undo/redo command. - - LV2_STATE__StateChanged is now recognized as a regular atom notification event and raising the current session dirty flag, as normal behavior. - - Adjusting clip selection edges is now possible and honored while on the the main track-view canvas. - - Audio peak file caching and rendering, as far as audio clip wave-forms are concerned, have been refactored and optimized a couple of notches higher, on the ephemeral and rather marginal throughput front ;). - - Fixed a potential crash on the singleton/unique application instance setup. - - Edit/Select Mode tool-buttons moved into single drop-down tool-button on the main and MIDI editor's tool-bar. - - Do not reset the current clip selection when updating the main track-view extents eg. while zooming in or out. - - Automation curve node editing auto-smoothing revisited; also fixed input MIDI RPN/NRPN running status processing, which was crippling some plug-in automation curve nodes, when saved in high-resolution 14-bit mode. - - Fixed the visual play-head position (vertical red line) while zooming in or out horizontally. - - Almost complete overhaul on the configure script command line options, wrt. installation directories specification, eg. --prefix, - --bindir, --libdir, --datadir and --mandir. - - LV2 Plugin-in worker/schedule fix: make request/response ring-buffer writes in one go, hopefully atomic (suggested patch by Stefan Westerfeld, while on SpectMorph, thanks).
