Radium 6.9.89 released

[kjetil]

This should be the final release before Radium V7.

The biggest news this time is that the macOS version has changed status from stable to Beta. The full macOS version is available for free from now on. The reason for this is that Radium for macOS has many quirks that the Linux and Windows versions don't have.

In addition to that, this release contains a fix for crashing the program when quantitizing notes. The bug was introduced in 6.9.80 so all releases after 6.9.80 have been marked unstable.

Most work has been put into the manual this time. Not the content of the manual, but on the technical side of it. Most notable new feature is the extremely fast search function: https://users.notam02.no/~kjetism/radium/documentation/


Changes 6.9.88 -> 6.9.89:

• Editor: Fix crash when quantitizing notes. Bug
  introduced in 6.9.80.
• Windows32: Fix import MOD.
• Macos: Open Help windows in an external browser
  since the manual now uses javascript-features not
  supported by QtWebkit 5.9.
• Manual: Include search field + various other
  improvements.
• Faust: Fix possible performance problem for the
  interpreter backend.
• API:
  • gui_web: Handle local files with queries.
  • gui_web: Only accept Escape key if currently
    searching. (Previously it hindered all other
    usage of the Escape key by web pages.)

Another release before V7 to fix some potential memory problems.

Changes 6.9.89 -> 6.9.90:

• Internal: Reorganize code protecting s7 gc
  variables a little bit. Might have fixed some
  potential problems.
• Internal: Preallocate a little bit of memory for
  vectors. Also remove some thread assertion code
  from non-debug builds. Might improve performance
  a little bit.
• Internal: Make sure memory allocated by the RT
  memory allocator is always aligned at maximum.
  This could theoretically increase performance.

Another release before V7, mainly to improve the Macos startup message. Not really any need to upgrade.


Changes 6.9.90 -> 6.9.91:

• Macos: Improve startup message.
• Internal: Minor improvements.
• Help: Fix the various help buttons and menu
  entries not showing correct web page if user
  had manually changed web page on the assigned
  window (help windows are cached to open
  quicker the second time).
