Hi all,
In keeping up with the good tradition of releasing a new version of Frescobaldi on Christmas, I happily and proudly annouce Frescobaldi 2.0.12 to be out in the wild! This is a maintainance release with some improvements, massive internal changes and a new SVG view. This is the changelog:
* Translations:
- updated: cs, nl, fr, es
* New features:
- Edit->Select Block has finally been implemented
- A viewer for LilyPond-generated SVG files has been added by Peter Bjuhr.
This viewer (accessible via Tools->SVG Viewer) currently has one-way point
and click. This only works with recent development versions of LilyPond,
that add the point and click information to SVG files. In the future, the
SVG view may become a fully fledged graphical music editor.
- The default output format can be set in the LilyPond preferences (the
current options are PDF or SVG, the default is PDF)
* Improvements:
- The indenter's handling of tabs and spaces has been improved. A tab always
starts a new indent level, and aligning is now always done with spaces.
The default is still using 2 spaces for indent, but it is now configurable
in a new settings panel Editor Preferences.
- Besides the good old Preview and Publish modes a new mode has been added:
Layout Control. This mode uses the settings on the preview mode panel, which
has been renamed to Layout Control Options. The layout of the panel has been
improved. The Preview mode is reverted back to enabling only point and click
links. In the Engrave (custom) dialog the run mode can be chosen and the
commandline edited directly.
- Entering staccatissimo writes -! when the document specifies a LilyPond
version >= 2.17.25, otherwise -|
- When editing keyboard shortcuts, conflicts are directly shown as they are
entered; better support French keyboards (contributed by Nicolas Malarmey)
- Better Mac OS X icons (contributed by Davide Liessi)
- The internal handling of manipulations like transpose, translate, and the
various rhythm commands has become less dependent on Frescobaldi code.
These functionality now resides in the ly module and could be used by
other applications. The commands now can work on any ly.document, which
need not be a Frescobaldi document.
- The internal help system has seen a massive overhaul: help files are now
very easy to write in a simplified markdown-like syntax. Adding help pages
is very easy by dropping a *.md file in the userguide/ directory. Every
paragraph in a help file is automatically added to the POT file and can be
translated by editing the language's PO file.
* Bug fixes:
- Music View: horizontal scrolling using trackpad now works with kinetic mode
enabled. Fixes #248.
* Removed feature:
- The 'master' variable is no longer supported, it's goal has been superseded
by the 'Always Engrave' option, which is also saved in the session. This
decision was taken to simplify the handling of files created on behalf of
a document.
Due to the revised help system, some large pieces of translatable text are now cut into paragraphs. This means translators are invited to revisit the translations, especially from the help pages. Many strings will be easily updated. The Html formatting in the help pages is removed, but some strings now expose basic inline markdown formatting. This is clearly indicated in the comment for a translatable string ("Note: markdown formatting").
Enjoy, and please report bugs as usual!
The goal for Frescobaldi 2.0.13 is to adapt all LilyPond 2.18 syntax changes.
Merry Chrismas and a happy new year!!!
Wilbert and all the Frescobaldi contributors.
