Radium 6.0.99 released

[kjetil]

Finally, Radium V6 has been released.

Compared to 5.0.99, this release contains various bug fixes and minor features. Most important change is that the current instrument doesn't change when the mouse pointer is above an instrument in the mixer. Luckily, only 5.0.99 had that behavior.

Another big change is the qualifier key handling for macOS. Before this release, all qualifier keys were juggled around to make sure ctrl-click could be used as an alternative to right-clicking. Now, ctrl-clicking is not supported anymore, and the keybindings are similar on macOS to a PC (Windows/Linux). However, since the Cmd key is often used on a mac for situations where the Ctrl key is used on a PC, and vice versa, there is now a new option in Preferences where you can swap Ctrl and Cmd.

Changes 5.9.99 -> 6.0.99:

• Audio: Fix illegal parameters for some LADSPA
  plugins in some situations. (Caused by "log 0".)
• Windows: Fix the left windows qualifier key not
  working when doing mouse operations.
• Editor: Paint velocity text for velocities that
  are not the first or the last of a note in a
  separate color.

  painting the sequencer.

• Editor: When changing second-last veltext value of
  a note, change end velocity end as well if it was
  equal to the second-last value.
• API:
  • New: getCurrentInstrumentUnderMouse,
    setCurrentInstrumentUnderMouse,
    mousePointerCurrentlyPointsAtInstrument,
    getCurrMixerInstruments,
    addCurrentInstrumentChangedCallback,

Released Radium 6.1.99.
Radium 6.1.99 is an emergency to fix crash in quantization.

[kjetil]

Note for windows users: Right-clicking a menu-entry to edit keybinding doesn't work. It's only a problem in the main menus though, editing keybinding in the the popup menus work. This will be fixed for the next release.

[kjetil]

Note for macOS users: It doesn't seem to work to right-click a GUI element to edit keybinding. I.e. the program asks to press new keybinding and so forth, but the changes are never stored into the configuration file. This warrants an emergency release.
