Hi All,

I'd like to announce a new release of blue available at:

http://www.csounds.com/stevenyi/blue

This version has mostly bug fixes but includes one backwards incompatibility concerning automation and widgets. A known work around is described for updating older projects which may be broken. More information in the manual and in the mailing list archive for the blue user's mailing list.

Thanks!
steven

[CHANGE LOG]

>Notes for 0.124.3<
[released 2008.10.28]

Steven Yi-----------------------------------------------------------------------

blue

[new] - Added piece "Unstill Light" by Dave Seidel to
examples/pieces/daveSeidel folder

[update] - Added caching of values when rendering live using API so as to
only set the value in Csound if the value changed in the project
(performance optimization)

[update] - BSB Widgets now always emit k-rate signals if they are set as
automatable ("Automation Allowed") whether using API or not;
previously widgets would try to optimize by generating as constant
when automatable but not automated, but this caused an issue with
Csound coding; an object that is set to be automatable makes sense
that code that depends on it should assume it could be k-rate

NOTE: This is a break in backwards compatibility! The known
workaround is to set the widget as not automatable or to update
Csound code to use a k-rate signal

[fix] - commandline use of blue to convert .blue project to CSD was broken

[fix] - "Generate CSD to File" was broken

[fix] - changed settings on ScoreTimeCanvas so that ghost drawing of render
time pointer would not occur while rendering (multiple orange lines)

documentation

[update] - Updated information to more clearly explain value will be gk-rate
signal when a BSB widget is set to allow automation, even if it is
not automated at the time

[new] - added section on breaks in backwards compatibility (Appendix B)
