Radium 5.8.6 released

[kjetil]

Biggest news this time is that it's possible to automate granulation parameters for audio files in the sequencer, including how much to stretch the files. And there's also a lot of bug fixes and minor improvements.

Changes 5.8.4 -> 5.8.6:

• Blocklist: Add various assertions and logging in order to fix a crash bug happening when selecting previous block (reported via crash reporter).
• OSX: Try to avoid an extra assertion report that has popped up recently when program crashes.
• Sequencer: Add "Delete all pauses" entry to the popup menu
• Playlist: Add option to delete all pauses
• Instrument/Mixer: Fix wrong default chance value when changing to a different A/B (default value was 1 instead of 256).
• Editor: Fix wrong pan value when pasting sound objects. Bug introduced in 5.8.4
• Audio: Began speed automation, but it"s not working yet, and GUI has been disabled.
• Audio: Fix memory leak in granulation.
• Audio: Fix cluttered CPU usage in granulation and resampling.
• Sequencer: Reorganized seqblock popup menu a bit.
• Audio: Handle appropriately when samplerate ratio is too low or too high for libsamplerate.
• Sndlib: Fix so that increasing jitter doesn't increase sound length when stretching audiofile in the sequencer.
• Packages: Update sndlib to latest version.
• Qt: Fix Qt error message about shared opengl context when building with Qt 5.9.
• Audio: Increased maximum number of CPUs from 16 to 64
• Instrument widget: Don't update patch widget name for a name that has been edited manually when double clicking sample name in the audio file requester.
• Sequencer: Let jitter be 0% by default (granulation).
• Sequencer: Show current seqblock automation value in status bar when mouse is placed between two nodes.
• Sequencer: Fix tiny fade-in for mono files when starting to play in the middle of a file. Caused by type. Earlier you could hear a click in the right channel.
• Peaks: Fix recreating the peak file when audio file have been modified since last time peak file was created.
• Peaks: Fix peak values sometimes having the value "inf", causing malformed waveforms.
• Jack: Don't crash during startup when jack server is not running.
• System: Shut down Juce properly before exiting program.
• Linux/OpenGL: Don't recommend to turn off vsync if using Intel GFX (a very long time since that made sense).
• Linux: Prevent buggy Qt plugins from crashing radium.
• GUI: Prevent Qt from loading plugins during static initialization.
• Editor: Fix undoing/redoing tempo multiplier. (Seqblock stretch values were not updated)
• Sequencer: Automation for granular synthesis parameters, including stretch.
• Sequencer: Reorganized the popup menus a bit.
• Audio: Fix possible audio underruns when starting to play block.
• Sequencer: When painting automation, also paint a filled transparent area below the lines.
• Sequencer: Show correct popup menu when right-clicking an automation node which is on top of a seqblock fade square.
• Sequencer: Don't change time value when resetting the value of a seqblock automation node, when seqblock is stretched.
• Editor: Ensure sequencer state is the same when undoing changing block properties.
• API:
  • Renamed undoSequencerAutomations -> undoSeqtrackAutomations, undoSequencerEnvelopes -> undoSeqblockAutomations, getNumSeqAutomationNodes -> getNumSeqtrackAutomationNodes, getNumSeqAutomations -> getNumSeqtrackAutomations
  • Deleted undoSeqblockAutomations.
  • New functions: getNumSeqblockAutomations, undoSeqblockAutomation, getSeqblockAutomationName, getSeqblockAutomationDefaultValue, getSeqblockAutomationDisplayString, getSeqblockAutomationValueForTime

A quick release since there were some trouble with the editor automation menus on OSX.

Changes 5.8.8 -> 5.8.9:

• GUI: Disabled the remaining usage of synchronized popup menus (only the menu to select MIDI port was left). The command line interface menu will be used instead to select MIDI port.
• GUI: Replaced lots of minor synchronized popup menus with async popup menus. Might fix various subtle problems.
• Sampler: Make record button popup menu async.
• GUI: Make slider popup menu async.
• GUI: Make checkbox popup menu async.
• Editor: Use async menus to select automation. Workaround for a bug in the popup menus of Qt on OSX.
• OSX: Another attempt to fix including the diagnostic report in crash reports.
• Edit: Fix right-clicking an edit button sometimes destroying parts of the users keybindings file.
• Preferences: Rename the "Windows" tab to "Gui".
• Editor: Add "Generate new instrument color" option to the track header popup menu.
• Sequencer: Change "Clone block" to "Clone editor block" in the popup menu.
• API:
