= CALL FOR PARTICIPATION = If you are interested in Free Software and like to tinker with interesting projects and technologies, the Beast project needs your input. Everyone can contribute with testing, feature feedback, translations, wiki edits or use case discussions. Please see the website: http://beast.testbit.eu/ = BEAST RELEASE = Christmas left a lot of time to have a run on a number of ancient quirks with the Beast code base. A number of orphan fixes are incorporated and the entire code base is ported to compile as C++11. This opens up the door for some UI, scripting and middleware improvements that have been in the queue for too long already. Before we get to that, here's what's probably the last release of the 0.7 branch with all its glory fixes. Let us know what issues you run into, we take every complaint you encounter, from UI hurdles to stability issue or regressions with old BSE files. Beast is a music composition and modular synthesis application released as Free Software under the GNU LGPL. Version 0.7.8 is available here: http://beast.testbit.eu/beast-ftp/v0.7/ Reference documentation for this version is at: http://dev.testbit.eu/beast/0.7.8/classes.html This release does away with some recently reported issues and clears our patch backlog. We'll happily take new patches. ;-) Overview of Changes in BEAST/BSE 0.7.8: * Wave oscillator fixes for 96k samples (bug #612281). [stw] * Performance improvements of the scheme shell. [stw] * Allow Alt+MouseButton1 to drag synthesis modules. * Merged plugin libraries, improved build times. * Use the ALSA 'default' PCM driver by default. * Adapt code to allow fftw drop ins. [stw] * Migrated code base to compile as C++11. * Lots of simplifications and cleanups. * Extended MIDI device listing. * Improved Beast startup time. -- Yours sincerely, Tim Janik --- http://timj.testbit.eu/ - Free software Author _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
