Hi all,

A new release of QuteCsound for Mac and Windows is ready (a source
package is also provided for other platforms). Lots of new features
and some important bug fixes.

You can download it here:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=227265&package_id=289578&release_id=646303

New in QuteCsound 0.3.8:
– Widgets can now be moved and resized with the mouse using the edit
mode (Ctrl+E or Command+E). Multiple widgets can be resized and moved
simultaneousy, by adding selections using the shift key when selecting
another widget.
– New Line Edit widget which repicates the MacCsound ioText label
widget. This widget is useful for sending strings to csound.
– Listing of MIDI and Audio devices available using the buttons beside
the device name. (Unfortunately crashing under certain circumstances
on OS X).
– Clicking a link the manual to a csd file now opens the file in
QuteCsound, in read only mode (must be “saved as…” when modified)
– New back and forward buttons in the help panel.
– Controller widget now becomes horizontal if width > height
– Opcode entries and Manual can now be opened in external browser
(using Alt+Shift+F1)
– New action to join orc/sco files into a csd file.
– New option to see a widget’s channel name by hovering over the
widget (no need to open the preferences)
– When opening a widget’s prefernce dialog, the channel text is now
selected by default


Fixed in QuteCsound 0.3.8:
– Controller widget now sends correctly horizontal/vertical channels
under all circumstances
– Buttons were appearing around 20 pixels below their real position
– Text alignment is now save
– Fixed initial display position for point controllers
– orc and sco files are now saved correctly (Widget section was being added)

[CHANGE LOG]

Notes for 0.125.0<
[released 2008.12.01]

Steven Yi———————————————————————–

blue

  [new] – Added “Process On Load” to PythonObject; allows running of that
  PythonObject instance’s script when a project is loaded or switched
  to; for usage where user has code at the beginning of a project,
  allows for that code to load on start so one can just start
  rendering from later in the project with code that depends on those
  earlier PythonObjects

  [new] – Added ability to scale a SoundObject by moving its start time
  (dragging from left side)

  [new] – Added scaling of automation data when scaling a single soundObject
  in Score Mode

  [new] – Added moving of automation data when moving soundObjects in Score
  Mode

  [new] – added 20 pixel buffer when moving start time pointer to more easily
  see when dragging as well as when jumping from marker to marker

  [new] – Added check of location of dialogs when opening modal dialogs (i.e.
  soundObject properties, mixer, etc.) and adjust to place on screen

  [new] – Added “Reset Time Log” option to Help menu to reset start time for
  time log

  [new] – Add Marker action: when not rendering project, marker action now
  stays enabled and will add marker at where the Render Start time
  is current set

  [new] – Added “Use Csound API” option on Project menu to allow easier
  toggling between enabling/disabling use of the Csound API

  [new] – blueLive: Added “All Notes Off” button which will turn off all notes
  for instruments found in the project Orchestra (will not turn off
  mixer or any other specially generated instruments)

  [updated] – added more buffer size when scrolling score time canvas so block
  increment is not as big and drastic when using touchpad for
  scrolling

  [fix] – Add Marker action: when rendering project, marker was being added
  relative to time 0 instead of render start time;

Hi all,

I’ve put up a new version of QuteCsound for Mac Intel and PPC.
QuteCsound is now very close to completely replicating the full set of
widgets from MacCsound, with the addition of the new Controller widget
in this release. The major show stopper, which was the inability to
run threaded on the Mac platform seems to be addressed as long as
displays are disabled in the command line options (-d in Addtional
command line flags) and the virtual MIDI input keybard is not used.
Please report if you still find QuteCsound crashing under ordinary
circumstances.
This version also includes many small bugfixes an several small new
features which have been suggested on the qutecsound-users list.

You can get it at:
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=227265

New in 0.3.7:
-Implemented “Controller” widget, which replicates the MacCsound
ioMeter widget. It can act as a meter, but also as an x-y joystick
controller
-Opcode entries can now be viewed in external browser
-New back and forward actions for dock help (Alt+left and Alt+right)
-Added option to show widgets on run
-f-sigs and labels are now colored in the editor
-Utilities now run through the API if useAPI is set in options
-Added option to use/disable command line options from QuteCsound
-All open files are remembered, not only the last active one
-When widget values change, document is flagged as modified

Fixed:
-Stability on OS X greatly improved
-Console widget now resizes properly
-Button now saves its value
-Fixed printing of messages and read/write widget values when running
in same thread
-Browse buttons now work in utilities dialog
-Hardware buffer active preference is now saved
