[Bluemusic-users] [announce] blue 0.124.1

[Steven Y. <ste...@gm...>]

Hi All,

I'd like to announce version 0.124.1 of blue is now available at:

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

This is a bugfix release that stabilizes using blue with the Csound
API on Linux as well as contains other fixes and updates to
documentation.  Much thanks to all who reported bugs and gave feedback
after the 0.124.0 release: it was all a great help!  (Note: All users
of 0.124.0 are recommended to upgrade to the 0.124.1 release.)

Thanks!
steven

blue

    [update] - by default, have "Save Peak Information in Header" option on
            Disk Render Settings default to true; will only affect new
            installations of blue where no previous user settings found in
            $HOME/.blue directory

    [fix] - Fixed instability issues on Linux when using Csound API by
            initializing Csound library to not install signal handlers

    [fix] - When loading older projects before BSB Widgets had automatable
            option, now default to false only if widget was not already
            automated (fixes problems with opening legacy projects and running
            project with API enabled)

    [fix] - open, ran, and fixed blue/examples projects to run with API

    [fix] - When using API, always use "csound" for csound executable command
            when building command line for Csound API; fixes problem when
            executable had a full path with space in it, i.e.
            "C:\Program Files\Csound\bin\csound.exe" as API mode does not really
            use that first argument, but having space would cause the value to
            be split into two args and would then cause render to fail; allows
            keeping above value with space when rendering without API and
            switching to API then will not cause a problem

documentation

    [update] - Added information to csoundAPI section of Installing Csound about
            java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError and how to update starter scripts
            with -Djava.library.path=xxx

    [update] - Added information to BlueSynthBuilder and Parameter Automation
            documentation to clarify the requirement that when using the Csound
            API, the area in the Csound code where the widget value is replaced
            must accept a k-rate signal for widgets which are set to automatable

    [update] - Added note that blueLive works on Windows when using the Csound
            API
