And.... finally a tarball uploaded. Please test and report back any issues for this pre-release.

ReleaseNote:
== MusE 3.1pre1 release February 25, 2019 ==

As always time flies. Flies are also very busy little bees. Heh.
Regardless, a new MusE version is coming up with bunch of new features.

Some highlights in this release are:
* Safe Plugin Scanner 'sandbox', makes startup both speedier and more importantly much more stable.
* PRECOUNT feature reintroduced
* Added shortcut for renaming a part

* Fix Issue 640: wavecanvas.cpp use QProcess not fork() et al.

* NEW! Midi controller graphs copy/cut/paste and drag/drop:
* Mixer strips added to Drum and Wave Editors:
* Massive graphics, canvases, cut/copy/paste/drag/drop workover

* Update regions as well as rectangles are now passed to most routines.

* Midi controller graphs no longer wait for sync with audio cycle to draw
* Merge pull 634 "Run properly on HiDPI screens" from hfiguiere.
* For bug 632: Fix slight text error in Global Settings option: Now reads "Ctrl + right click sets left range marker".

Thank you Robert.
You da man!

I've got a scanner fix as discussed in another thread. Should be done soon.
It should make it into the final release.

Downloaded from git, built ok, and runs ok.

Thanks fellas, will test further over the next few days.

Hi!

Do You have plans to update the (pre)release tarball?

[j_e_f_f_g]

Anyway to get a pre-built binary for debian testing? Muse is one of my most used programs. But the debian repositories are stuck on a 2.1 version.


Compiling gnome software was enough of a nightmare these past years. I don't want risk my health with qt too.

[spamatica]

Prebuilt binaries would be great... I've been going for atleast something a few times but the hill has been to steep.
I'll give it a go again.

Are you on some less common distribution? At least with Ubuntu it should pretty straightforward to get it to build.

I just saw there was another question about new release tarball. Yes, now that I'm in MusE-mode again I'll try to do it as quickly as possible.

at least version 3.0.2 deb is available https://packages.debian.org/testing/source/muse

Debian testing. I did read it. But apparently my brain was disconnected so it didn't register. I guess the packages needed are not absolutely the same as Ubuntu but should be close. I believe I have built for Debian Stretch a while ago at least.
