Hi all,
Frescobaldi 1.0.1 has been released, a bugfix release in the stable 1.0
branch, including some bugfixes and stability improvements and a new Galician
translation contributed by Manuel A. Vázquez.
Download: http://lilykde.googlecode.com/files/frescobaldi-1.0.1.tar.gz
The development branch is also shaping up nicely, and is quite usable even if
there is not yet a package release.
Most compelling new feature in the development branch is that you can
configure multiple versions of LilyPond (installed on different places on your
system; the binaries don't need to be in your PATH). You can configure a
default version to use, but Frescobaldi can also choose a suitable version of
LilyPond depending on the \version statement in your document. A custom Run
LilyPond dialog has been added (Ctrl+Shift+M or shift-click the LilyPond icon)
to choose a particular version and set other parameters for a LilyPond run).
This way you can play and test with development releases of LilyPond while
still using a stable LilyPond for your production work.
Other niceties are that it is possible to assign keyboard shortcuts to
articulations in the Quick Insert panel (right-click the articulation
buttons), and a new dialog to insert characters from the Unicode table. Some
expansions in the Expansions Dialog now have default keyboard shortcuts. The
documentation has been improved.
You can get the development branch of Frescobaldi by entering these commands:
svn checkout http://lilykde.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/frescobaldi
cd frescobaldi
cmake . && make && sudo make install
You can keep your copy of Frescobaldi up-to-date with:
cd frescobaldi
svn update && cmake . && make && sudo make install
The development branch of Frescobaldi requires Python 2.6, KDE 4.2 or higher
and SIP 4.9.1 or higher (at least 4.9.3 recommended). See also the INSTALL
file in the frescobaldi directory.
Bug reports and wishes are very welcome.
Enjoy and best regards,
Wilbert Berendsen
