[Bluemusic-users] 2.6.0 early test build

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

Hi All,

I've placed a test build of 2.6.0 at:

http://kunstmusik.com/blue_OSX_2.6.0_test1.zip
http://kunstmusik.com/blue_2.6.0_test1.zip

I'd lik to ask that if you have a moment, to please give this a try.
To get an idea of changes you can see the current changeling at:

https://github.com/kunstmusik/blue/blob/develop/ChangeLog

AudioLayers is the main thing being developed for 2.6.0.  However,
implementing AudioLayers turned up to require a lot of internal
re-coding of things.  I *think* that all of the previous features have
been reimplemented and are working involving the score timeline, but
testing will help determine if I missed anything.

AudioLayers is still incomplete. You're welcome to give it a try and
any feedback welcome.  The feature allows for working with audio files
without any Csound coding, similarly to how one would in a DAW.  I'm
planning to work through the remaining features on my list for basic
AudioLayers, then do another test build for feedback specifically on
that feature.

If you do test this build, I'd recommend:

1 - Don't save any project files you're currently working on. It
should be safe but it's best to be careful.
2 - Make a copy of your $HOME/.blue folder before testing, and
probably should restore the folder before going back to using Blue
2.5.x.

Hopefully everything will be okay if not better.  Feedback is of
course very much appreciated!
