SuperCollider 3.5 -rc1

SuperCollider 3.5 beta series were released for few weeks, and now finally moved to rc1 version. Here I write the information;

hi all,

with today’s 3.5-rc1, we finally leave the `beta’ phase. we have to plan to do
one more release candidate before the final 3.5.0. please report bugs to the
sc-dev list or to the bug tracker at
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=54622.

please not that we have two different osx packages: a universal binary and a
32bit-only package, because the scapp has a known bug in 64bit mode.

  1. And this is 3.5 Rc2

    i hope this is the final release candidate before 3.5 is out. we’ve been able
    to fix a number of bugs, especially the cocoa/escape bug that caused some
    troubles with earlier binaries in 64bit mode. HID on osx is still broken, but
    we will release 3.5 without a fix, as no osx dev had been able to track down
    the issue.
    this time, we also have a win32 installer: it does not come with any editor,
    but it ships with a plugin for gedit [1].
    and osx users may be happy to hear that there is also an updated package of
    sc3-plugins binaries …

    so, please test … if all is working well, we will have a final 3.5.0 next
    weekend …

    help: InTrig does not work with setSynchronous
    schelp: minor fixes for Thread

    Sciss (4):
    plot view breaks if GUI kit is switch. fix by storing the GUI kit
    in Plotter, and reading that from Plot.
    catch-22 with the string methods in SCPen — they call into
    String which in turn uses the current GUI kit and not
    necessarily cocoa. Fix by calling directly into the cocoa
    primitives
    another catch — when converting the font from the plot skin,
    make sure the font name exists, otherwise cocoa can crash
    hard!
    same type of catch-22: SCPen color setters need to call directly
    into cocoa primitives. with this fix, we can have multiple
    plotters with different kits, they all stay functional and
    interactive.

  2. 3.5-rc3

    hi all,

    i don’t think we are quite ready to release 3.5.0, so it might be better to do
    another release candidate. there seem to be some issues with scapp, that are
    most likely related to 64bit, so for now we will provide only a 32bit dmg.

    so again, please test … if all works well with this rc, we can do the final
    release very soon.
