================== GNU Solfege 3.20.0 ================== Solfege is free music education software. Use it to train your rhythm, interval, scale and chord skills. It is free software and runs on GNU/Linux, MS Windows 2000 and newer, Max OS X with some effort, and possibly other operating systems with the required tools. It should run wherever you can run Python 2.5, Gtk+ 2.12, PyGtk 2.12.

The parser now generates objects from the mpd.elems module. This API is also used by the rhythm editor widget. * Initial ALSA sequencer support. Added a tool (available on the Help menu) that downloads and compiles ALSA drivers. * identifybpm: play rhythms with the normal mpd API instead of gobject.timeout_add * singinterval: select violin or bass clef depending on the pitch of the highest and lowest tone. * the config window is built with a gtk.TreeView instead of a gtk.Notebok, and interval input accels are now configurable * added some missing interval exercise configurations and reorder the sections making them uniform. * Change FlashBar to handle labelobjects * `0install </zeroinstall/solfege.xml>`_ package for Linux * Timidity is the default midi player on linux. Bug fixes: * front page editor: escape titles and file names in saved files, so that ', " and \ are handled correctly. * Fix rnc so that it works with the sharp symbol, and the unicode version of both flat and sharp. * Make sure the optimisation for very large front page files are used. This is required for very large files, like the Bach choral package. * solfege_c_midimodule: don't link libm unless we also link agains librfftw and libffrw * Don't rebuild generated music theory images if skipmanual=yes (bug #222) * midifilesynth: filter out duplicate %s in the midi player args. Duplicate %s would make the music play twice. * Fix the Rhythm music object class so that it uses the percussion instruments selected in the preferences window, as the user manual say it should. * RhythmDictation2Lessonfile: fix it so that it uses the percussion instruments selected in the preferences window. * don't crash on unicode BOM in lesson files. * bug fixes to the instrument selection code in the preferences window. * Use different API querying the screen resolution to avoid segfaul on debian lenny. * Make elembuilder handle questions where the answer is only one element. Fixed by Andre Maute * statistics: handle the deletion of the tests table correctly. * win32: fix importing of old format front page files. * Lots of other small fixes. win32: * Look in "My documents/GNU Solfege/exercises" for the users front pages files. * The windows installer is done with gtk+-bundle now, and it has SVG support now. -- Tom Cato Amundsen <t...@gnu.org> http://www.solfege.org/ GNU Solfege - free ear training http://www.gnu.org/software/solfege/ _______________________________________________ GNU Announcement mailing list <info-gnu@gnu.org> https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnu
