Radium 5.9.46 released

[kjetil]

In this release, the pan and width effects are included in the wet signal by default. Before this release, they were always included in the dry signal. Now this can be configured in the song properties window.

Starting from this release, Radium requires macOS 10.12 or newer. Before this release, it required 10.10 or newer.

Most of the work for this release has been spent upgrading 3rd party libraries. JUCE have been updated from 5.3.2 to 5.4.3, and Qt has been updated from 5.10.0 to 5.12.1. In addition, all system libraries for macOS and Windows have been updated, and some system libraries have been updated for Linux. For Windows, Radium is now compiled with gcc 7.4 instead of gcc 7.2.

Besides this, there's a few bug fixes and minor features. See changelog below.

Changes 5.9.44 -> 5.9.46:

• Windows/VST: Add a "DPI" checkbox to the VST plugin
  header when DPI is not 96, i.e. when either the
  display is scaled, or a hiDPI monitor is used.
  When unchecking the DPI checkbox, the plugin GUI
  will be reopened with a DPI of 96 instead. This
  will both let Windows do the scaling (causing
  blury and larger graphics), and in some cases fix
  bugs caused by plugins not handling a
  non-standard DPI. You need Windows 10 for this
  to work.
• OpenGL: Remove startup warning that Radium hasn't
  supported high DPI display for a very long time.
  It's been a pretty long time now.
• Error message window: Position in the middle of the
  screen.
• Progress window: Add a minimize button in the upper
  right corner.
• Mixer: Don't update graphics for the modular mixer
  when it's not visible.
• Mixer strips: Fix note intencity circle only
  lighting up/down when the main mixer was visible.
• GUI: Turn off menu and combobox animation. Screwed
  up menus on osx when using Qt 5.12. (Think the
  menu animation actually brought back the same bug
  that caused me to upgrade Qt from 5.7 to 5.10.)
• Mixer: Fix error message sometimes popping up when
  showing popup menu.
• JUCE patch for Linux: Display ALSA MIDI client
  names as clientName + ": " + portName to avoid
  mixup for ports with the same port name belonging
  to different clients.
• JUCE patch for Linux: Make sure all ALSA MIDI
  connections and ALSA MIDI ports are publicly shown
  (for instance in the qjackctl patchbay). Not
  showing them only creates confusion.
• JUCE patch for Linux: Set realtime priority for the
  MIDI input thread.
• Build: Update Juce from 5.3.2 to 5.4.3.
• Linux: Don't read from configuration file when
  opening a native VST gui. (Race condition that
  could have caused various trouble.)
• Init: Fix 1-10 seconds freeze that sometimes
  happened during program startup.
• Windows/Sequencer: Fix displaying non-ascii
  characters in the audio file browser.
• OSX: Fix file requester not filtering out entries
  when loading/saving mod/midi/xm/rad.
• OSX: Radium requires 10.12 or newer.
• Editor: When appending new block, let it have the
  same number of tracks and lines as the current
  block. (Same behavior as insert block.)
• Instruments: Include the pan and width effects in
  the wet signal by default. This can be changed in
  the song properties window. When loading older
  songs, pan and width is not included in the wet
  signal, since that could change the sound.
• Instruments: Disable the dry/wet slider when
  instrument is bypassed.
• API:
  • New functions: setIncludePanAndDryInWetSignal,
    includePanAndDryInWetSignal, appendBase64Strings.
  • Add optional argument "text_is_base64" to gui_drawText
