Earlier versions would fail to connect to the device in most cases. - Varispeed dialog now allows control in percentage units in addition to semitones & cents. The shuttle control also now remains in sync with the actual transport speed. - Fix an issue where multichannel tracks would play in mono (#9483). - Prevent time domain (music/audio) confusion when trimming audio & MIDI regions. - When drawing freehand velocity curves, if any MIDI notes are selected, only those notes will be modified. This is extremely useful for editing drum tracks. - Fix selection logic when middle-clicking on notes in a MIDI track header keyboard. Middle click selects just that note-number. Ctrl/Cmd-middle-click now toggles the selection status of that note number. Shift-middle-click extends the selected note numbers. - Fix duplicate close-session dialog on macOS. - Fix a missing label in the insert time dialog. - Fix a deadlock (\"program freeze\") when adjusting a region fade. - Allow for bounces with specific source (file) and region names. - Include track name when consolidating ranges. - Fix potential for duplicated MIDI events with certain signal routing. - Prevent crash with certain oddly-behaved VST3 plugins\' response to being asked \"do you have an editor?\" - Add MIDNAM file for Moog Subsequent 37. - Remove some cruft from build system scripts. - Build system tweak to accomodate newer versions of kissfft.- Changes from 8.0.0 - \"Quick groups\" - most mix-related controls now operate on all the selected tracks & busses - Manage sections of a song with arrangement markers. Define your verses, chorus, and bridge.

* Translation Updates - German. - Russian. - Korean. Hint: people, we need more translation-updaters!
* New Themes - \"DieHard3\" from GMaq (avlinux). - \"Xcolors\" from LAM.
* Tue Jun 28 2022 ecsos - libsndfile from Leap is missing opus support. So we must use libsndfile from multimedia repo which is >= 1.1.0

Or set the scanner to auto-timeout while you take a break, and come back later to re-scan those individual plugins that wanted some user input. - Sort and filter your plugins by name, brand, tags, or format. - Tell Ardour to Ignore troublesome plugins so we won\'t try to load them at all. - Ardour loads AU, VST2, VST3, and LV2 format plugins. Choose the format that works best for each plugin, and hide the ones you don\'t use (but might be used in some existing sessions).
* Improvements + Playlist Management Substantial changes to playlist management include: - Global playlist actions like \"New Playlist for rec-armed tracks\" allow you to record a new take on all tracks that are record-armed, whether they are in a Group or not. You\'ll find these actions in the Track menu. - \"Copy Playlist for All Tracks\" will store the timeline state of your arrangement, edits and automation. You can later switch between them while leaving your static mixer and plugin settings intact. - Select a track and click \"?\" keyboard shortcut to open the Playlist Selector dialog. Click any playlist to listen to the alternative takes of that track, OR... - ...change the scope to \"ALL Tracks\" and you can switch all tracks that have a matching playlist to your selection: if you recorded a take of the drums and bass together, you can switch the drum and bass playlists together even if they aren\'t in a Group. - Create the perfect vocal or guitar comp: Create a new empty playlist and call it \'comp\'. Then use the selector to switch between different takes and move the best take to your comp playlist. You can even have more than one comp playlist to compare with each other. And like the other playlist functions, you can edit multitracks with ease: by group, rec-armed, or ALL tracks. You can watch a video about these features in Mixbus (the behavior is identical there to Ardour). + Varispeed Changes The GUI for the \"shuttle control\" has been modified to present a simpler, easier to understand interface.

* Actions/Binding Changes - This release changes the name of several Ardour actions that may be used by OSC & MIDI bindings and by customized key bindings. The affected action names are listed below. The old full action names began with \"Editor/\" - this has been changed to they all begin with \"Common/\". You can ignore this change unless you use OSC, or MIDI binding maps or customized key bindings. If you do use any of these features, you will need to either/or modify your OSC or MIDI bindings and redefine your key bindings after removing or renaming the customized ones. Failure to do this will mean that existing bindings to these actions will not function as intended. These changes were made in order to make these actions available from within the Mixer tab, rather than just the Editor. - Affected Actions alternate-jump-forward-to-mark alternate-jump-backward-to-mark set-session-start-from-playhead set-session-end-from-playhead toggle-location-at-playhead add-location-from-playhead alternate-add-location-from-playhead remove-location-from-playhead alternate-remove-location-from-playhead nudge-next-forward nudge-next-backward nudge-playhead-forward nudge-playhead-backward playhead-forward-to-grid playhead-backward-to-grid start-range-from-playhead finish-range-from-playhead start-range finish-range start-punch-range finish-punch-range start-loop-range finish-loop-range alt-start-range alt-finish-range

Show VST plugin search paths (read-only) in Preferences dialog. Fix LV2 plugin state for copied plugins. Properly copy plugin state when duplicating tracks/busses. Save/restore plugin states as part of track templates. GUI Report on progress while stripping silence from tracks. Fix fine-adjust modifier overriding snap modifiers. Clicking on an already selected note when many are selected makes it the only selected note (same behaviour as regions and control points). Allow use of tooltips to be enabled/disabled from Preferences. Mixer list pane can now be shrunk to zero width. Dialogs and unparented windows now default to the current pointer position. Add relative snap when moving markers. Increase the minimum size of the recent session scrollview. Don\'t make hidden automation controls visible, ever.

Makes rows in the theme manager selectable, making it easier to link an object to a color. Fix incorrect keyboard focus after deleting a marker. Allow hiding and showing the mixer list. Disable threaded waveview rendering. This is, sadly, a regression from previous releases, and will slightly slow down the apparent speed of waveform drawing. However, it was causing unacceptable crashes while recording, and until we can be absolutely certain that the issue has been correctly identified and fixed, we are disabling it. Add a button to master bus strip to show/hide monitor section. Reduce width of monitor section by 25%. Allow addition of plugins to monitor section. Fix monitor section state restore (per-channel dim, mute etc.). Prefill snapshot dialog name field with current snapshot name . Use correct position when finishing tempo and meter marker drags.

MIDI Snap modifiers now work on MIDI Notes when the grid is disabled. Gray out unavailable MIDI note context menu items rather than hiding them. update MIDI channel buttons when their mode is changed. Enable horizontal scrolling in MIDI regions even when a note is selected. Include the \"Transform...\" option in the MIDI region context menu. Introduce \"Transpose...\" option in the context menu for selected notes. Significantly speed up some MIDI note editing operations, and their impact on session loading times. Make MIDI Panic message work even when seamlessly looping. Do not clear MIDI buffers when processing cycles are split, and make seamless MIDI looping work correctly. Removing shorting of inserted notes by 1 tick. Fix overlapping MIDI note resolution. Better alignment of note end times with the grid. Fix issues with large amounts of MIDI data caused by limits on the size of Standard MIDI File format variable-length-quantities. Control Surfaces Deep support for the Presonus Faderport device. This is fully documented in the Ardour Manual. Mackie Control devices saw a lot of subtle changes which will be documented in the manual in the near future. It is now possible to control input trim, sends and more from a Mackie surface. OSC: Allow use of broken apps such as TouchOSC and Lemur with Ardour\'s OSC support (These apps/devices violate the OSC specification by requiring all messages to include at least one argument. The new /ardour/pushbutton/.. OSC \"namespace\" can be used to provide OSC addresses for messages that always one floating point argument; messages to such addresses are ignored unless the argument is 1.0) Add notification of changes in transport speed or record enable status Add easy-to-use MIDI port selectors to the Generic MIDI settings dialog Add a MIDI binding map for the Yamaha KX25 Add a MIDI binding map for the Novation Impulse 49 Add full support for NPRN MIDI controllers, allowing their use in MIDI binding maps Add an explicit \"Show settings\" button to the Control Surfaces preferences dialog to help users who do not read. Ensure that when control surfaces are enabled/disabled/re-enabled, they continue to be notified about the state of the session Automation Make control point selection more consistent Fix display of automation data for toggled controls Automation recording now has undo-per-pass, not undo-per-touch Add undo for region gain point selection Fix incorrect snap when adding region gain points Correctly select the control point to be deleted with shift+right click Ctrl/Cmd-drag adds or toggles rubber band selection of automation control points Show verbose cursor control point values in internal edit mode Prevent inadvertent overwriting of automation data Fix mute automation playback Fix incorrectly positioned automation control points Handle pasting data from non-toggled to toggled automation tracks Fix crash when moving tempo markers with automation present in MIDI tracks General Changes/Improvements Disable follow-edits and auto-return when synchronized to an external positional clock source. Fix crash when creating subgroup busses. Fix some cases where a session was incorrectly marked as changed/not-changed. Speed up session loading by avoiding unnecessary duplication scanning of MIDNAM files. Reduce session close time caused by some poor programming design. Revert back to use mjpeg as the default video codec. Anecdotal evidence suggests that mpeg4 causes issues on some platforms. Fix an issue where timers for metering prevent session loading from completing (also speeds up session loading). Duplicate regions now uses correct position (previously was off by one sample). Improved handling of reserved track/bus/send names (\"Master\", \"Click\" etc). Allow metronome to operate while varispeeding. Add \"Duplicate Track/Bus\" functionality. Make it possible to rename the session root folder without any side effects. Provide a user-preference for pre-roll. When loading a session, default to the most-recently-used snapshot. Prevent deletion of playlists not used while a track is frozen. Restore last used driver and device for a given audio/MIDI I/O backend. Prevent concurrent peak (waveform image) file initialization. Prevent crash when closing a session while some audio data analysis is still underway. Restore functionality for measuring insert latency. Load/save measured insert latency with session. Add a mechanism to allow audio latency updates without restarting the backend. Avoid uninintentional, unnecessary rebuilds of peak (waveform image) files. Fix bug with solo/mute state when reopening a session with a soloed bus. Explicitly disallow looping while synced to an external positional source. Update available positional sync sources when audioengine is restarted. Prevent addition of markers within 1/100th second if transport is stopped. Windows Increase open file limit count on Windows. New version of Windows backend that uses the PortAudio callback API. This appears to improve functionality with some audio interfaces. Use a range of values for ASIO buffer sizes if the ASIO driver provides one. Improve ipMIDI support on Windows. Fix latency compensation for the Windows audio/MIDI I/O backend. Attempted fix for issues on Windows when running on machines that use hyper-threading. OS X Update the API used on OS X to discover AudioUnit plugins, to be compatible with (a) newer versions of OS X (b) newer plugin releases (notably Waves Audio latest versions). Add a horrible hack to keep the program GUI responsive even when AudioUnit plugins with broken (rapidly redrawing) GUI\'s/editors are visible. Fix display of deprecated Carbon-based GUIs for some AudioUnit plugins. Fix for a crash on OS X caused by changing audio device state while recording. Add build support for OS X El Capitan. Fix crash when opening invalid audio/MIDI files on OS X. Correctly allow opening ardour via a double-click on a .ardour file inside Finder on OS X. Fix display of AudioUnit factory presets, so that they are shown even when there are no user presets. Re-add AudioUnit cache/blacklist management. Linux ALSA backend settings now include number of playback buffers (periods), possibly using different values for playback and capture. LinuxVST plugins: forward window resizing events to the plugin GUI. Infrastructure Add ardour4 desktop and mime type files (for use by packagers on platforms that use them) Add an AppData file for GNOME packagers Update to libsndfile 1.0.26 Fixes to allow build system to be used on NetBSD Include a thread-safe version of libfftw, to fix crashes caused by some plugins
* Mon Jan 25 2016 someuniquenameAATTgmail.com- Fix suil package dependency
* Sun Oct 18 2015 ecsosAATTopensuse.org- update to 4.4 There are no 4.3 release - Substantive Changes/Features/Fixes - Fixed solo logic in deep ways. Most notably this prevents various \"stuck solo\" problems, but also a number of other issues with solo when using complex routing between tracks and busses. - Fixed loop recording (inadvertently broken for several releases). - Added support for RF64 and MBWF audio file formats. These are both 64 bit file formats, capable of recording impossibly large amounts of audio. MBWF is the 64 bit version of Broadcast WAV. . - When using either format, if recorded files are smaller than the RIFF (WAV) size limit, convert the header to RIFF so as to be compatible with normal WAV-handling software. - General Changes - \"Save As\" will refuse to write to an existing folder/directory. - \"Save As\" now defaults to the current session name as the name of the new session, making it easier to add suffixes or otherwise tweak the name. - Allow export of loop range without actually looping. - Improve CPU AVX support detection. - Fixed locating to current wallclock time for large time values. - Fixed an issue where if an audio region was locked and locked to video, the audio-region always stayed put and the video could only be moved forward. - Fixed various potential issues at session closing. - Improve error reporting from AudioEngine when trying to configure audio hardware. - Provide more details if a sessions fails to be created. - Improve loading speed for large sessions (1000 tracks). - Fixed a deadlock when removing tracks/busses and using JACK1. - Prevent importing files with names like \"Master\" or \"Click\" from causing session breakage. This also applies to attempts to name tracks or busses with similar names. - Ensure that correct audio is heard when region layering is changed. - Use a single consistent method for computing DSP load on all platforms, with all backends. - Avoid creating excessively short regions during Strip Silence operation. - Avoid possible endless loop while detecting silence. - Reduce chances of a bug in the OS X locale libraries from causing crashes. - Fixed duplication of multiple selected regions. - Correctly and consistently initialize track/bus group properties. - Fixed crash during session region cleanup. - Ensure identical XML in session files if the session does not change, thus allowing tracking state changes in a revision control system (e.g. git). - Bring Ardour\'s Broadcast WAVE USID value into compliance with EBU-R99. - Fixed install on systems where using su(1) changes directories. - Fixed broken onset analysis. - Plugins - Refuse to load LV2 plugins if their buffer size requirements cannot be satisfied. - Do not list LV2 plugins that cannot be used because they require a fixed blocksize. - Generally improve handling of missing plugins so that sessions are not damaged by the temporary unavailability of a plugin. - Fixed the position of cut/copy-and-pasted plugins. - Fixed AudioUnit port count, which allows loading various Native Instrument plugins such as Reaktor 5. - Added command line option to completely disable plugins. - Fixed handling of VST audioMasterPinConnected callback. - Allow loading of huge (10MB) VST plugin state. - GUI When describing keybindings below, \"Primary\" is used to describe Control on Linux and Windows, and Command on OS X - Fixed waveform display issues when changing waveform shape from rectified to normal or vice versa. - Added a reset option to the context menu for the shuttle control. - Allow creation of new points on a region envelope by clicking on the envelope line. - Added column titles in the list of \"Recent Sessions\". - Alter \"Stop\" button in the Audio/MIDI setup dialog to function as a \"Start/Stop\" button, and remove the \"Apply\" button. - Fixed issues where waveform display used the wrong data. - Cancel button for Import dialog is now a Close button. - Change OK button on Import dialog to \"Import\". - Correctly display plugin parameter values when dragging automation points/lines. - Fixed log-scaled automation parameter display. - Visually indicate regions waiting for their audio peak data to be generated. - Fixed inconsistent text sizing in the editing canvas. - Added avoiding GPU rendering to preferences dialog. This is helpful on some Linux systems with buggy video device drivers. See Edit > Preferences > GUI > Disable Graphics Hardware Acceleration. - Allow overriding lock-to-video when moving video or audio. - Fixed drawing of short cross fades. - Sort \"Recent Sessions\" by modification time. - Don\'t try to split a region when dragging. - Update Import dialog options when/if track selection changes. - Fixed marker display after a marker is removed. - When editing a clock display, swallow illlegal keys rather than passing them onto the main window where they might have some unintended effect. - Primary-Shift-click on the solo lock button now applies to all tracks/busses, consistent with Primary-Shift-click on other buttons. - Avoid a case where the color of selected text was the same as the background, making it invisible. - Correctly set waveform height when switching between stacked and overlaid view modes. - Make all entries in the track list context menu actually work. - Fixed incorrect setting for \"Import to Region List\" on first use of the import dialog. - Avoid duplicate shortcut folders in file browsers. - Windows - Drop the use of C++ fstreams to reduce issues with non-Latin characters in filenames on Windows. - Option to install without WASAPI support, which helps startup on Windows 10. - Close all files before Session > Cleanup, so that it can work on Windows. - Fixed MIDI Sysex I/O on Windows. - Fixed issues with onset analysis on Windows. - Added \"Refresh Devices\" button to the Audio/MIDI setup dialog on Windows to pick up new - Added a \"None\" device to the PortAudio backend, allowing disabling either input or output, but not both. - devices or external ASIO buffer size changes. - Click/Metronome - Added an easy way to reset the click sound(s) to their defaults. - The click sounds are now normalized to -6dBFS. - Allow enabling/disabling of the click \"emphasis\" sound. - MIDI - MIDI Tracer window now shows MSB of appropriate messages. - Fixed a subtle bug in ordering of MIDI events that caused missing note-off messages. - Highlight notes based on mouse position on track header keyboard. - Exclude MIDI CC parameters with no data from being displayed when \"Show Existing Automation\" is chosen. - Fixed issues with linked (cloned) MIDI regions on different tracks. - Fixed issues with de-selecting MIDI notes. - Handle a missing MIDI file without crashing. - MIDI/Mackie Control Surfaces - Save/restore generic MIDI control surface \"motorized\" setting. - New Mackie Control device files for configurations with 3 surfaces. - A substantial amount of work has been done on Mackie Control support. There is no simple summary that would describe all the changes, but suffice it to say that (1) it works much better (2) it is easier to get started (3) has been tested on an even wider range of equipment.
