[Bluemusic-users] blue 2.1.0 beta posted

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

Hi All,

I posted a beta release of blue 2.1.0 to:

http://www.kunstmusik.com/blue_2.1.0_beta.zip

I am not putting an OSX beta up yet since I need to work out an issue
with the API and it crashing (same code works on other platforms, so
it's a little tricky figuring this one out).

I didn't have enough time this week to complete all I had planned, and
I also didn't want to put out this release until I could add to the
manual something about the MIDI input system and do some preliminary
updating.  I'm heading out of town for the long weekend so I will not
be doing any work on blue until I get back Tuesday.  I'll be aiming
for end of next week for the new release.

The ChangeLog of what has changed so far is listed below.  If you have
a chance to run the beta, I'll be happy to hear any feedback,
especially for unexpected things that should be fixed before 2.1.0
final goes out the door.

Thanks!
steven

            to and application toolbar

    [updated] - moved blueLive MIDI input to Input Settings Top Component

    [updated] - BSBDropdown is now automatable; when set to automatable, will
            use the index of the selected item rather than the value set for
            that item, and will also generate a a k-rate signal

    [updated] - Scale selectin panels now have a popup menu (triggered by right
            mouse button) that has a "Reset (12TET)" option to reset the scale
            to the default 12TET tuning

    [updated] - When using "Save as" or doing a save when closing a
file, if the
            save is designated over an existing file, blue will ask for
            confirmation from the user

            text selected for easier editing (RFE 3006108)

    [updated] - Added text color setting in options for pfields (RFE 2970509)

    [fix] - Closing project did not ask user to save file

    [fix] - blueLive: when using API, no longer tries to update render time

    [fix] - blue Application Log was using black on black text, changed to use
            white text

    [fix] - default creation of codeRepository was broken, resulting in opcode
            popup not properly creating itself if existing codeRepository not
            found

    [fix] - opening the blue manual did not work when blue was installed into a
            directory where there were spaces in the path name (Bug 2982079)

    [fix] - opening the csound manual and opcode help did not prepend "file://"
            if opening from the local file system, also would have errors if
            spaces were in the path (Bug 2981573)

    [fix] - score expression parser was calculating values using integers
            instead of floats i.e. [1/3] was returning 0 instead of 0.33333
            (Bug 3006243)
