NoteEdit 2.8.0

Matevz Jekovec Thu, 14 Jul 2005 15:15:14 -0700


Therefore, I would really like to see updated the current 2.7.1 version.

Note that NoteEdit isn't yet gcc4 compatible (#302917: noteedit: FTBFS
(amd64/gcc-4.0): configure does not allow building with gcc-4.0). Even
TSE3 headers have many new syntax errors not present in gcc-3.4.

I attached a NEWS file, which includes all the new features & bug fixes.


Best wishes!

Release 2.8.0
-------------
The NoteEdit team is glad to announce the first major-version since its new
beginning!

Note:
From now on, NoteEdit will be versioned according to GNU principals of
versioning. Many SVN changes were made to accommodate these principals as well.
Where a version of the program is X.Y.Z, numbers now mean the following:
- Even major number (Y) marks a stable branch of the application.
- Odd major number (Y) marks a development branch of the application.
- Extra-Major number (X) is a generation of the application.
- Minor number (Z) in a stable branch marks the latest critical maintainence
  release in that branch.
- Minor number (Z) in a development branch marks the current version of the
  latest stable enough SVN version of the application, to be called a useful
  development release.

New features:
- Updated translations and fixed Makefile to include Slovenian translation.
- RFE #573 - Soprano clef added.
- Score info fields and staff names can now include double quotes ("), updated
export filters.

  (others will have fuzzyness as well until translated).
