Radium 5.9.71 released

[kjetil]

The most important change this time is a new implementation of the playlist. There's been various problems with the playlist in all of the 5.9.6* releases due to being used in a way it was not originally designed for, and this have caused both crashes and the assertion window to pop up in various situations. As usual with new things, there might be a couple of minor quirks, but the serious errors we have seen recently should be gone.

The new playlist uses Radium's own widget set (the old one used Qt), and it looks slightly different:


Besides this, the release also contains a lot of improvements for scheme scripting plus various bug fixes and minor features.

Changes 5.9.69 -> 5.9.71:

• Editor: Fix displaying sample filenames with
  non-ascii characters when current seqtrack is for
  audio files.
• Sequencer: Fix displaying window title for track
  on/off-window when opened the first time.
• GUI: Don't apply scrollbar state to vertical list
  area when scrollbar is not visible.
• Scripting: Update S7.
• Playlist: Rewritten:
  • Somewhat nicer graphics
  • The assertion window should not popup anymore in
    various situations.
• Sequencer: Bind C key to change color for all
  selected seqblocks.
• GUI: Make scrollbars look slightly better.
• GUI: Don't show scrollbars if everything fits.
• Scripting: Make linter check arguments for some
  types when calling global functions.
• Scripting: Add signatures for the ra: functions.
• Scripting: Make linter check arguments for local
  functions, not only global functions.
• Sequencer: Let the keybinding F + SHIFT_L append
  block, R + CTRL_L to delete block, and I + CTRL_L
  to insert block. The same keybindings are in the
  editor. Added because the sequencer has a block
  browser.
• Scripting: Arity-check calls to functions defined
  by lambda* and define*, not only lambda and define.
• Audio: Let Shift + Ctrl + M switch metronome
  on/off.
• API:
  • New: switchMetronome, gui_isDoubleClicking,
    getTimeStringFromFrames, getCurrPlaylistPos,
    setCurrPlaylistPos,
    lockCurrPlaylistPosToCurrSeqblock,
    getPlaylistPosTime, getPlaylistPosForSeqblock,
    generateNewColorForAllSelectedSeqblocks.
  • Change setSeqblockName and getSeqblockName to
    take seqblockid as argument instead of
    seqblocknum+seqtracknum.
  • Let -1 (current position) be the default
    argument for "pos" in createSampleSeqblock.
  • setSeqblockName takes base64 string by default.
  • getSeqblockName now returns base64 string.
  • gui_setWindowTitle takes optional argument
    'name_is_base64'. Argument is false by default.
