QuteCsound 0.4.5 released

Hi all,

QuteCsound 0.4.5 is ready! This version includes many fixes, additions
and useful improvements. Upgrading to this version is highly
recommended.

QuteCsound is a simple frontend for Csound featuring a highlighting
editor with autocomplete, interactive widgets and integrated help. It
can open files created in MacCsound, and aims to be a simple yet
powerful and complete development environment for Csound.

QuteCsound 0.4.5 has been tested on Windows, OS X, Linux and Solaris,
and it is free software released under the LGPLv2 or at your option
GPLv3.

There are binary packages for Windows and OS X, and a source package
for other platforms.
You can get it here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/qutecsound/files/QuteCsound/0.4.5/

There’s more information here:
http://qutecsound.sourceforge.net/

Questions, comments and suggestions are very welcome and can be posted
to the main Csound mailing list, but better still, join the QuteCsound
users mailing list at:
http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/qutecsound-users

A big thanks to all collaborators for this release, including Joachim
Heintz, Alex Hofmann, Andy Fillebrown, Stefano Valli and Francois
Pinot (for his additions to the Scope Widget), the translators and the
testers.

BIG NOTE FOR WINDOWS USERS!!!!!
On Windows the fluid and FLTK opcodes from Csound are causing issues
with QuteCsound. It is highly recommended that these opcodes are not
used inside QuteCsound (they are safe if you run in external
terminal). The best way to disable these opcodes is the following:
1. Copy the plugins directory from your Csound installation (usually
C:/Program Files/Csound/plugins) to a new directory. You can call it
any name, and place it anywhere you want, but using the Csound or
QuteCsound directory might be a good idea.
2. From this new directory delete the files fluidOpcodes.dll,
widgets.dll and virtual.dll
3. In the QuteCsound go to the Environment tab in the Configuration
Dialog and in the field called OPCODEDIR, select the directory you
just created.

When you’ve done this, QuteCsound will look in the new directory for
opcodes, instead of the default directory. This way, you can keep your
installation of Csound intact, and can control the usage of these
plugins from the QuteCsound preferences. If you are experiencing
sudden crashes (when switching windows, for example), the problem
might be the fluid opcodes. If copy/paste is not working, the problem
is almost certainly the FLTK opcodes and virtual keyboard.

Enjoy!
Andrés
