[ANN] Qtractor 0.9.19 - QStuff* Winter'20 Release batch #3

Post by rncbc »

Season greetings, a third and last time,
  • Qtractor 0.9.19 (winter'20) is released!
Change-log:
- Session directory auto-name option added to the session properties dialog, as convenience.
- Loading and saving a LV2 plugin's state has been vastly improved. IMPORTANT CAVEAT: From this moment onwards, when loading any newer saved sessions into older versions of the program, all LV2 plugins won't get their state restored correctly.
- Track colors saturation introduced as yet another eye-candy option (cf. View/Options.../Display/Track color saturation)
- Fixed VST3 number of channels query/report.
- Fixed immediate crash when loading untitled or unnamed Instrument Definitions files (*.ins): base file-name is now taken as default instrument definition name or title.
- Tempo (BPM) entry may now be specified with arbitrary precision, to at most 3 decimal positions in fractional part, while integer whole values are displayed with no decimal point.
- Added option to keep MIDI clip editor windows (aka. piano-roll) always on top of the main window (cf. View/Options.../General/Keep editor windows always on top).
- MIDI clip editor status-bar labels are not stretched to whole text size anymore, most specially for the current file complete path.

Qtractor is an audio/MIDI multi-track sequencer application written in C++ with the Qt framework. Target platform is Linux, where the Jack Audio Connection Kit (JACK) for audio and the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) for MIDI are the main infrastructures to evolve as a fairly-featured Linux desktop audio workstation GUI, specially dedicated to the personal home-studio.

Hello Rui,
thanks for this new release.
Trying to update Qtractor I realized that the ppa for distros based on Ubuntu 20.04 Focal Fossa is no more available.
Is this a temporary mantainance of the repository or should I finally move to the appimage package?

Stay safe :wink:

heads up!

as a matter of fact, on the late year, ALL the PPA's in https:/launchpad.net/~rncbc have split in two:
  • Applications (ppa:rncbc/apps-...) for all the real qstuff:) and
  • Libraries (ppa:rncbc/libs-...) as for some 3rd party runtime and/or build dependencies.
so that I believe, assuming you're still on the focal series, you may just remove the old repo:

Code: Select all

sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:rncbc/focal
and then add the new ones:

Code: Select all

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rncbc/apps-focal
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rncbc/libs-focal
sudo apt-get update
hth.
cheers
